day that he sometimes changes
his 7-month-old sons diapers
and bathes him when no one
else Is around"
The heir to Japan's ancient
throne made the disclosure at
an unusual news conference.
The palace set a precedent by
admitting foreign newsmen for
the first time.
The occasion was connected
with the departure this week of
the Prince and his pretty wife,
Princess Michiko, for a two
week tour Of the United States
to mark the Tooth anniversary
of United StateS-Japan rela-
tionS. They leave Thursday.
Prince Akihito, who visited
the United States in 1858. ex-
pressed deep appreciation" to
President Eisenhower and the

The bill would set up a pub
lie assistance program where
by needy citizens in States
could receive cash payments
for medical care, food, cloth
ing and shelter. There would
be no means test, age bracket
or requirement that a person
sacrifice his entire capital be-
fore applying for aid. But. to
qualify, a person would have
to have paid income taxes in
the past. He would surrender
his Social Security card and
agree not to vote while re-
ceiving aid.

This tax would start out at Is
per cent but could be readjusted
from time to time by the Sec
retary of the Treasury.
Mr.. Mason's Office explained
that this was in line with legis-
lation requested by Freedom,
Inc, with headquarters in
Hartford, Conn. An organlza-
tion pamphlet lists among It's
subscribers the name Of John
Coolidge, identified as the son
of the late President Calvin
Coolidge.
The proposed bill includes
some of the declarations and
avowed objectives Of that Or

The bill provides that gov

spending would have to be kept
within current tax revenues
and that reasonable periodic
reduction would have to be
made in the national debt.

What Bill Offers
The all-embracing-but not
entirely self explanatory
title of the so-called Freedom
Revenue Act" says it is de-
signed:
ITO supplement the Internal
Revenue Code; to complete eco
nomic freedom and thus re-
move the cause of the class
struggle between employers and
employees; to solve the tax
wage-price-prof1t problem; to
pay cash aid to the needy to
enable them to buy food. cloth
ing and shelter and to pay
their medical bills, and to solve
the farm problem and thus re-
duce the high cost of eating"
The 22-page printed bill
would not abolish the present
income tax system. 1t would al
low taxpayers to go on paying
at the rate schedule and under
the withholding system pro-
vided in the Internal Revenue
Code as revised in 1854. But II
