President Deplores Bleak Outlook For Civil Rights And Tax Cut Bills WASHINGTON (UPK-Presi-dent Kennedy said today it was "unfortunate" that the outlook is now bleak (or passage of either civil rights or tax legis lation this year. But he said he feels it is still possible to pass the tax bill. He told his news conference that if enactment of the House passed $11 billion tax reduction measure should be delayed un til next year that the national economy may suffer. Kennedy added that he would not want to be responsible for any such development and felt that members of Congress would have a similar attitude. The President's remarks came when asked how he felt about current indications that neither of the two major ad ministration measures would get through Congress this year. He said he thought the situa tion was unfortunate because the tax measure had been be fore the lawmakers for almost a year and he submitted his civil rights proposals last June. He expressed hope that the House, at least, still could act this year on civil rights, which is still in its judiciary commit tee. Kennedy also suggested that the Senate Finance Committee could conclude its tax hearings, now scheduled to run for an other month, at an earlier date. He said it seemed possible to him that the bill could be brought to the Senate floor yet this year. This in spite of the fact that witnesses summoned by the committee are so great in num ber it will run hearings to a week before the Christmas re cess. Other conference highlights: Camhpdia: Kennedy said Cambodia's Prince Norodom Si hanouk's threat this week to cancel U.S. aid was regarded as a serious development. But the President voiced hope the prince has enough interest in the well being of his country Mme. Nhu Lands In Rome ROME lUPD-Madame Ngo Dinh Nhu, looking wan and close to tears, arrived in Rome today for a reunion with her three youngest children. Madame Nhu, whose hus band, Ngo Dinh Nhu, and brother-in-law.

For Cambodia to renounce U.S. aid. he said, would be an act of "folly," and Sihanouk is not a "foolish man." Viet Nam: The President ex pressed complete confidence in Gen. Paul Harkins, commander of U.S. forces in South Viet Nam. He said Harkins was "just doing his job" and he planned to keep him there. Kennedy said a meeting has been called at Honolulu to as sess U.S. policy in South Viet Nam because of the new gov ernment there. Khu: Kennedy said the visa of Madame Ngo Dinh Nhu will be renewed when she returns to this country from Rome, where she is visiting her three small children. Aid: Kennedy said he was very concerned about stepped up attacks on the House-passed foreign aid bill in the Senate. He warned Congress that such cut backs would seriously hamper foreign policy aims. "I can't imagine anything more damag ing," he said. He indicated that in his opinion Congress was not fully aware of the importance of foreign aid to the overall foreign policy goals. China: Asked what the condi tion might be for U.S. trade with Communist China, t h e President said there were no plans for any such trade be cause of Red Chinese policies. But he said this nation was "not wedded to a policy of hos tility" toward Red China and that 'the U.S. attitude could change when China showed a willingness to live at peace with other nations. Wheat: Kennedy said he does not know what the outcome will be of negotiations for sale of U.S. surplus wheat to Russia. These are commercial negotia tions, he noted, and said the United States is giving the So viet Union no more privileges than would be given any friend ly country. Security: He justified on ment, going directly from the plane to a limousine. Only an unidentified priest and the driver were waiting for her and her 18-year-old daughter, Le Thuy, who accompanied her. There was no sign at the air port of President Diem's brother, Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thuc, nor of the three children. It was expected that Madame Nhu would go directly to the villa south of Rome where the archbishop and the children, Goes Aloft The four-man launch crew is stationed at Lowry Air Force Base, Colo.

These safe guards, the President said, were deemed necessary to protect the 'security of U.S. defense sites. Oil: To a question about Ar gentine threats to take over American-owned oil companies, the President said this govern ment was concerned about the question of adequate compensa tion for the companies and that this issue was a subject now in negotiation. Medical: The President said he believes his medical care bill ultimately would get out of committee and reach a vote in the House but not necessar ily this year. He said he was looking forward to the "deliv ery" in this Congress but it might not come this year. He said this was likely to be "an 18-month delivery." Missile: President Kennedy said he didn't think that the Russians had solved the problem of developing an effective anti missile missile any more than the United States had. He said the problem was one of "satu ration." He acknowledged that the United States had not solved the problem of contending with a "maximum" attack. But he refused to discuss in any detail any information he might have regarding an anti-missile mis sile recently displayed by the Soviets in Moscow. Convoys: Kennedy said more "difficulties" with the Soviets, like their interference with Al lied military convoys on the autobahn to West Berlin, may be expected. Recognition: The President said that delay in recognizing new governments of the Domin ican Republic and Honduras re suited from lack of assurance that a constitutional form of government would eventually be established in either nation.

UPI - The mystery of the whereabouts of University of California coed Judy Williamson continued to baffle Albany police today, with the uneventful passing of an other "very crucial" period. Police Chief Ralph Jensen built up suspense in the 17-day mystery Wednesday with the midday statement that he ex pected to announce "a big break" shortly before midnight. He described it as a "very cru cial day." However, newsmen who kept a 12-hour vigil at the police station were told in a press con ference shortly before midnight that "perhaps tomorrow (Thursday) we will have some thing better to go on." Jensen did reveal that blood stained books belonging to the 18-year-old coed were found in an open trash container or. the campus of the university. The discovery of the books was an nounced Tuesday night, but po lice declined at that time to say where or when they were found. Jensen said Wednesday night that they were found by a man on the campus on Nov. 4 or Nov. 5. but he emphasized the man "is not a suspect at this time." ' The books were only the sec ond major clue in the case since Miss Williamson disap peared while en route from her Albany home to the university at nearby Berkeley on the morning of Oct. 29. The first major clue came Monday when an 11-year-old boy turned over to police an umbrella the girl had been car rying on the day she disap peared. The boy said he found the umbrella in a trash can near a supermarket. House Committee Cuts Military Construction WASHINGTON (UPI) The House Appropriations Commit tee today cut almost $180 mil lion from the $1.6 billion mili tary construction program au thorized by Congress only two weeks ago. It said the country could af ford new missile facilities but not commissaries, officers' club additions "and the like."

The authorization measure merely set the ceiling on spend ing for such purposes. The bill approved today would provide the actual funds. The House group, headed by Rep. Clarence Cannon, D - Mo., said it also vetoed paying $5. 700 per man for building bach they're gone!

UPI Telephoto Economy Forces Eye More WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen ate economy forces continued to batter at President Kenne dy's foreign aid bill today, con fident they could make further reductions in the program al ready trimmed by $5 million. While Senate leaders hoped for a final vote this week, aid foes, led by Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., gave no assurances tliat the 14-day old debate on the bill to authorize another year of military, economic and technological aid would end by Friday. Sen. Ernest Gruening, D Alaska, was expected to lead elor officer quarters in Korea for the Air Force, when the Army was spending $3,600 per man for the same purpose in the same country.
