NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. Ia
National political figures and
Newport and Washington social
ties turned out some 700 strong
this morning for the marriage
of Senator John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts, to Miss Jacque-
line Lee Bouvier of Washington

Hundreds of by-standers
crowded the streets outside st.

Democrats Are Set

Truman and Stevenson
On Chicago Program;
Loyalty Issue Up

By Gould Lincoln

Democratic leaders are set to
unlimber their big guns and at
tack vigorously the Republican
SD Congress and the Eisenhower
administration at the Democratic
National Committee conference
and Embarrassing dinner in Chi
cago tomorrow and Tuesday.
Former President Harry S.
Truman and Adlai Stevenson,
Democratic presidential candi-
date, are scheduled to lead the
attack-Mr. Truman with his
give 'em hell" tactics and Mr..
Stevenson with his rapier-like
wit.
And the explosive loyalty
pledge" issue, regarded as a hot
potato most Democrats would
rather not handle now. may come
up for discussion. Stephen A.
Mitchell, Democratic National
Committee chairman, said yes
terday he would welcome full de-
bate on it.
Mr.. Truman is expected to use
the resignation of Secretary of
Labor Martin Durkin as a lead
ing theme when he addresses the
$100-a-plate dinner tomorrow
night. charging that it proves
conclusively the Republic a n
Party is no friend of the work
ing man.
Douglas Is Dinner Speaker.
Senator Douglas of Illinois,
scheduled to deliver the principal
speech at the dinner. is expected
to pound away at big business
in the Eisenhower administra-
ton.
Mr.. Stevenson's big show
comes Tuesday night. when he
will speak to an audience of
$500 at the Chicago Opera
House and to millions on the
television and radio. His theme,
it is expected, will be world af-
fairs and a report on the around
the-world trip he recently COM
pleted.
Mr.. Stevenson had tentatively
planned before he began his tour
last March to make a public re-
port on it. Mr.. Mitchell arranged
that the report be made Tues
day night, saying that time
would permit many Democratic
leaders to hear it in person. The
speech, however, is sponsored on
a non-partisan basis by a COM
mittee of 81 prominent Chicago
ans, including a number of Re-
publicans.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Nikita
s. Khrushchev, SO, one-time
boss of the Ukraine, has been
elected first secretary Of the
Central Committee of the Soviet
Communist Party, the Moscow

This gives him control over
vast party machinery and makes

as secretary general of the Gen.

dictator of the Soviet Union.

Reed Predicts
u. 5. Sales Tax
Luwmuker Cites
Popular Opposition
To Proposed Levy
By Robert K. Welsh

Chairman Reed of the House
Ways and Means Committee,
which has a usually first and
often final say on revenue rails
ing measures in Congress. yes
terday turned thumbs down on
any move for a national sales
tax.
"A general sales tax will not
be approved during the coming
second session of the 83d Con-
gress." Mr.. Reed declared.
In the face of persistent but
unofficial reports that the Eisen-
hover administration might
ask Congress in January to en-
act such a levy at the manu-
facturers level on most products
except food. Representative
Reeds stand took on unusual
force at this time.
Opposition Indicated.
An informal survey of some
members of the powerful House
committee indicated several
weeks ago that several of the
IS Republican members and
practically all the 10 Democrats
would oppose such a tax. Mr..
Reed. dean of the Republicans
in the House, did not disclose
his position until yesterday. But
he did so with characteristic
vigor:
II base this prediction (about
congressional disapproval of a
general sales taxi on reports
coming to me from members of
the Ways and Means Commit
tee and other members of the
House who are in their home
districts. They confirm my re-
cent firSt-hand appraisal of SEN
timent in my own district, the
43d district Of New York.
ut is encouraging to have so
many members of Congress re-
port widespread demand for
relief from high taxes. 1t just
means failure for those who run
out on promises made last year
and also guarantees prompt
reputation of any more at
tempts to bypass the Ways and
Means Committee and delegate
responsibility for tax legislation
to some other committee. AS
usual, the American people COR
troll the situation"
Recalls Recent Fight.
Mr.. Reeds comment carried
more than a hint that he still
remembers his fight with the
White House and the Republican
House leadership last spring on
extension of the excess profits
tax.
National sales tax advocates,
including the National Associ-
alton of Manufacturers and the
United States Chamber of Com
merce. believe such a levy of
about per cent would raise
some $40 billion. It's hackers
contend it could replace most of
the present excise levies which
range from about 2 to so per
cent on variety of items but
exempt many others. It's op-
ponents contend mainly that it
would be a soak the poor" tax.

Cut Military Budget

PARIS. Sept. IL. - Finance
Minister Edgar Faure declared
that largely because of American
aid for Indo-China, France will
be able to cut military spending
next year by about $285 million.
In a statement issued after a
meeting of Premier Joseph Lam
iel's cabinet, Mr.. Faure also
credited the measures of econ
omy and rigorous reorganiza-
ton" of the defense ministry
headed by Rene Pleven for low
ering expenses somewhat in 1854.
He congratulated Premier r
Laniel during the cabinet meet
ing on the success of negotiations
which resulted in the U. S. Ma
tional Security Councils recon-
mending to President Eisen-

Senate Unit Begins
Preliminary Study Of
Juvenile Crime Here
Decision to Include D. c.
In Nationwide Inquiry
Held Likely This Week
By Miriam Gutenberg

The staff OF the Senate'S Juve-
nile Delinquency Committee has
already started a preliminary
investigation of juvenile crime
in the Nations Capital, it was
learned last night.
A formal decision on whether
Washington will be one of the
target areas in the nation wide
juvenile delinquency investiga-
tion will not be made until the
committee meets late this week,
but it was thought likely that
the committee would go along
with its chairman's wishes to
study juvenile delinquency here.
Senator Hendrickson, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, has said he
believes the sharp increase in
juvenile crime here and the fact
that the Nations Capital should
be a model are reasons enough
for the committee to choose
Washington as one of the cities
to be focused on in the inquiry.
Studies The Stars Survey.
Herbert j. Hammock, chief
counsel Of the committee, has
met with several officials here
and has asked his staff to look
specifically into the District sit
uation, it was learned. When he
left Washington after the con-
versations, he took with him for
further study The Stars pre-
cinct-by-precinct survey of juve-
nile crime, which appeared in
last Sundays Star.
The committees planned
method of conducting it's inquiry
also subject to approval at the
committees next m ee ting
dovetails with the proposal here
for a co-ordinating body ap-
pointed by the Commissioners to
direct the fight against juvenile
delinquency.
The conn mittee tentatively
plans to set up a task force"
or advisory group in each city
it chooses to visit. This team
would be composed of clergy,
civic leaders, police. Juvenile
Court authorities, welfare, school
and child guidance officials. 1t
would survey the juvenile prob
lem of the city, what was being
done about it and what remained
to be done. It's report would
precede the entry of a staff in
veStigator. An overall national
advisory committee would sup
plement the individual recon-
mendations.
Would Serve as Nucleus.
A committee spokesman said
that if the task force plan is
adopted and if the Commission
erS set up a co-ordinating body
here-as urged by The Star and
supported by numerous groups
the committee would use such a
group as the nucleus for it's
washington task force.
The idea of a co-ordinating
group under the direction of the
Commissioners was endorsed yes
terday by Commissioner Renah
F. Camalier.
Discussing Washington's jul
venile crime on Report to the
People" over Station WWDC,
Mr.. Camalier declared:
THE answer lies in strict con-
troll, and that control must
emanate from one source. But
it cannot be accomplished en-
tirely by that one source. 1t needs
the help of the agencies.
"All should coordinate their |
efforts and funnel those efforts |
through this one source to which !
I refer-namely, the Board of !
Commissioners of the District
of Columbia"
Mr.. Camalier said it might be
necessary for the Commissioners
to consider a curfew for children.
This, he said, would be the sub
ject of considerable study before
a decision would be made on
its adoption. /
