friend, Senator Byrd.
1.-THE only announcement I've
gotten from him is his silence,
Mr.. Andrews replied.
While ne said he could moi

ator.. Mr.. Andrews recalled that
Senator Byrd rejected Steven
son the last time" and added
'As far as can see, Stevenson
is worse today than he was then,
If he Byrd can possibly stom-
acl Kefauver. that's more than
anybody else in the whole South
can do. Certainly / would think
something had happened to the
Senator if he Endorsed either
one of them. But if he did, that
is his privilege and I'd still re-
spect him"
Mr.. Andrews said he became
disillusioned with the Essen
hover administration when the
Supreme Court handed down its
school segregation rulina
That decision. said Mr.. An
drews, was an invasion of
States rights and completely
repulsive to me-"
x reporter asked whether he
felt the decision was an admin
istrative move, and Mr.. Andrews
said, i'Of course it was an adj
ministrative move. What else
could it have been?"
He told reporters he knew
"the story" on the appointment
of Chief Justice Earl Warren to
the Supreme Court, but declined
to elaborate.
Asked for his views on the
sales tax as a possible substitute
for the income tax which An
drews wants abolished, Mr..
Andrews declined to discuss any
particular kind of substitute for
the income tax"
He said he would have nothing
to say specifically about taxation

felt. however, there "are any
number of different combina-
lions of taxes that could be
developed"
Mere reduction Of rates will
not solve the income tax prob
lem, said Mr.. Andrews. The tax
needs to be simplified or elimi-
mated"
