first 500 Of Federal tax, 8 per
cent on the second 500, IL Der
cent on the next $500, and Is
per cent on anything over
$1,000.
In a letter from j. D. Hague,
1926 Garfield street NV, this
example was cited:
"A married couple with two
dependent children have, for
Federal income tax purposes,
an adjusted gross income of
$25, 900 derived from the follow
ing sources: Salary, $4,000;
dividends, $4,000: interest on
United States Government
bonds, $1,000; portion Of long
term capital gains which must
be treated as income, $4,000.
Purpose of Change
'If they have allowable de-
ductions of $4,000, their Fed
eral income tax would be $4,724.
Calculated under the present
system, their District income
tax would be $12S, but calcu-
lated under the proposed new
system, it would be $586.12,
more than quadruple the pres
ent tax"
In his reply, Mr.. Back said
that the primary purpose of
the change would be Ito achieve
the greatest degree Of simplic-
ity and convenience for the tax
payer and administrative ease
for the District Government"
ITO accomplish these objec-
tiveS it is necessary to adopt
the Internal Revenue Code in
its entirety and allow no ad-
juStments or credits to the basic
Federal tax" Mr.. Back said.
I'm so doing it is inevitable
that those items which are
presently subject to Federal in
come tax and not to the present
D. c. tax will become taxable
for District purposes.
Reduction Seen
"The reverse is true where
an item is presently taxable
for District purposes and not
for Federal purposes. It is
realized that to obtain Simplic-
ity some taxpayers will have
more and some less tax burden
than under the present District
income tax law"

saying:
Hurry up. Get out, of here
They're after me-"
Mr.. Starner was taken from
the cab into the three-story
apartment building.
The men told the cab driver
they were private detectives.
They also warned him to "keep
your mouth shut" When Mr..
Alexander complained about
his fare, one Of the men handed
him a $40 bill and told him to
"get out of there" police said.
The driver Immediately went
to police headquarters. Detec-
tive Sergt. Walter Kadel and
Detective Jackie Shoots left for
the apartment.
They arrested Vais after they
noticed him coming from the
direction of Mr.. Starner's
apartment.
Area Searched
At police headquarters. the
cab driver identified Vais as
one of the men who took Mr..
Starner from his car.
A search Of the area was
begun for Mr.. Starner. A check
at a motel about two blocks
away from the apartment
showed that four men had regi-

resentment" he said. "I'm afraid If you
print that it might be bad for our race"
He was right about the emotions en-
countered. Perhaps the most lasting i'm
preston from this reporters experience in
talking to Negroes in Washington is the
depth of their bitterness and resentment.
Disturbing as the knowledge may be,
it is important that the white man be aware
OF this-and understand why the Negro
feels as he does.

Frankness and Courtesy

Kennedy,

TuIkon Laos
By CROSBY S. MOVES

~S@N@e~@ SAASoRO4AOiSO " 4lC SboE
VIENNA, June 3.-How it
will end is still anybody's guess.
But at least Premier Khru-
shchev's shoes stayed on his
feet today. The roof stayed on
the American Embassy. And in
the words of a White House
spokesman this first days
meeting between the leaders of
the two most powerful nations
on earth passed in frank and
courteous" conversation.
Apart from this Intentionally
encouraging morsel of infor-
nation, some thousand mem
bers Of the world press corps
assembled in Vienna have little
idea of what went on during
nearly three and a half hours
OF private conversation between
President Kennedy and Mr..
KhruShchev.
Pierre Salinger, the White
House press secretary, said
merely that the conversation,
besides being frank and cour-
teous, was also "a wide-ranging
general review Of relations be-
tween the two countries
throughout the world"
Discussion Is Long
The private talks, he said,
consisted Of "a lengthy and
considered discussion on tie
problem Of Laos and the inter-
national control commission in
Laos. Both quite obviously
relate also to the problems Of
the peace negotiations now 60
ing on in Geneva.
The talks there are begged
down by an inability of the
Inegotiators to agree on the
powers and authority of an
International Control Commis-
sion in insuring a cease fire in
Laos. And unless Mr.. Khrush-
chev is prepared to be helpful
in this matter there will be
little hope of reaching any
agreement on Laotian neutral
ity and independence.
Tomorrow's discussion, Mr.,
Salinger said will be devoted to
"nuclear testing and disarma-
ment and the German prob
lems." The latter includes, of
course, the problem of Berlin,
which is potentially the most
explosive and dangerous issue
that will be discussed here.

These officials emphasize

they do not rule out inter-

Americans living on the island
are endangered.
No Recognition Yet
Word received here indicates
that no Americans have been
molested in the breakdown
against the Dominican opposi-

Trujillo's successors. But re-
