atively minor change designed
to eliminate difficulties which
affected the missile when it was
launched from undersea.
Before the change was made
four submarines launched a
total of l8 missiles, 10 of them
successful.
At this point in the program,
the Defense Department, with
out explanation, said it would
not announce test results of any
missile launchings conducted
away from public view" The
decision was aimed specifically
at the Polaris underwater
launches. The two Polarises in

fired after the policy was
adopted.
The missile yesterday was
fired 80 miles offshore and was
clearly visible to shore observ-
ers. But defense officials said
the new policy applied.
Earlier this week, Senator
Ellender, Democrat of ,Louisi-
ana, questioned Secretary of
Defense Mcnamara about the
poor Submarine-launch record
of the missile. Mr.. Mcnamara
replied that he had great con-
fidence in the system.
President Kennedy has asked
an additional 1929, ,400,00 to
speed up the Polaris program

subs on station by the end of

Witness Tells
OF Riot Scene

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20
(AP) Robert j. Meisenbach,
%, accused of beating police
man in last Mays City Hall
rioting, was painted yesterday
both as an innocent bystander
and a club-swinging zealot.
The descriptions emerged in
the first day of questioning in
Mr.. Meisenbach's assault trial
before Superior Judge Harry j..
Neubarth. The incident oc-
Cured at the height of student
demonstrations against a House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities hearing at the City Hall.
Defense Attorney Jack Ber-
man declared photographs he
introduced as evidence proved
that Mr.. Meisenbach stood idly
smoking a pipe some 40 feet
away from the spot where Po-
liceman Ralph E. Schaumleffel,
33, said he was slugged with
his own billy.
Mr.. Schaumleffel, under
questioning by Walter E. Club
bini, assistant district attorney,
declared, however, that Mr..
Meisenbach dubbed him as he,
the patrolman, fell under the
onslaught of charging students
and adults.
The House committees ac-
count-in a printed report by
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
and in the narration of the
committee-indorsed film re-
port, Operation Abolition
declared the attack on Mr..
Schaumleffel touched off "the

Accord on Aid
ToAreas0Kd
BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

The Senate late today rati-
fled the conference agreement
reached this morning on the
1894 million depressed area bill,
to be financed by Treasury bor-
rowing.
Senate leaders also we're
pressing for passage this eve
ming of another Kennedy bill
to extend about 5000 million of
Federal aid to the children of
unemployed parents.
There was no struggle in the
Senate against the final version
of the depressed area bill, be-
cause the main concessions in
conference were made by the
House. But Democratic leaders
expect a close vote when the
House takes up the depressed
area bill early next week.
The House managers gave
in on their demand for annual
appropriations after Chairman
Spence of the House Banking
Committee was informed the
Kennedy administration had
changed its mind and wanted
the Senate version.
House Republican Leader
Halleck. anticipating this ac-
ton, had warned earlier that
Treasury borrowing, which Re-
publications call "back-door
spending" will have rough
going" in the House.
Mr.. Halleck said there is
strong sentiment in both par
ties in the House for annual
review Of the program by the
Appropriations Committee.
Senate conferees yielded to
the House by eliminating a pro-
vision to give special considera-
ton to communities adversely
affected by reciprocal trade
agreements.
In view of the victory for
Treasury borrowing, the con-
fereeS agreed to limit the pro-
gram to four years. The House
bill had no expiration date,
because its members regarded
direct appropriations as an an
maui check.

White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger told American
newspaper editors today that
the presidential press confer
ence with radio and televiSion
coverage is here to stay"
Mr.. Salinger participated in
a panel discussion of Presi-
dent Kennedy's press confer
ence at the opening session of
the seth annual meeting of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors at the Statler-Hilton
Hotel.
The form of the press confer
ence in the Kennedy admin
istration was both attacked and
defended by other participants
in the panel discussion. Peter
Lisagor, chief of the Chicago
Daily News Washington bu-
reau, called it "a mess" and
"the nearest thing we have in
town to anarchy
Mr.. Lisagor said reporters
attending the Presidents press
conference were little more
than props in show" as bear
ers of spears or, rather, ques-
tions.
He compared the press con-
ferenceS now held in the spa
ciouS State Department audi
torium to making love in Car
negie Hall, which attributes to
it an intimacy it doesn't have"
He said it was making hog
callers of us all in getting
recognized.
Defended by BritOn
A spirited and eloquent de-
fense of the press conference
in its present form came from
Max Freedman, Washington
correspondent of the Manches-
ter England Guardian. He
called the press conference an
essential and enduring branch
of the Government" and found
that Mr.. Kennedy has con-
Quoted himself we'll in his
meetings with correspondents.
For him. Mr.. Freedman said,

ter the last few years since

English sentence is no longer

Disagreeing with Mr.. Lisagor,
Mr.. Freedman said, I'VE are
not spear carriers for a Caesar"
and, he added, it is "unreason-
able and unfair" to try to COM
pare the presidential press con-
ferenceS to the question and
answer period in the British
House of Commons.
Mr.. Salinger said reporters
who long for the days of the
Franklin Roosevelt administra-
tion and the intimacy of the
presidential press conference of
that time are "unrealistic."

Klein Blasts
News Policy

SAN DIEGO, Calf, April 20
(AP) An aide to former Vice
President Nixon has taken issue
with the Kennedy Administra-
tion's statement that he is
badly informed in denouncing
the Presidents information
policies.
Pierre Salinger, White House
press secretary, said yesterday
that Herbert G. Klein. editor
of the San Diego Union and
former secretary for Mr.. Nixon,
last week was refused accred-
itation of one of his staff mem
bers for security reasons.
The staff member sought ac-
creditation to the 7th Fleet.
Last night Mr.. Klein, in a
statement released here, reit-
Grated his view that the Ken
nedy administrations policy
may lead to exclusion of re-
porterS from hot areas of cold
wars.
Mr.. Klein said the Unions
military writer, Lester Bell, was
refused accreditation to the
fleet. Mr.. Bells application for
accreditation to naval units, Mr..
Klein said, was approved every
where except for the Laos
Indo-China area.
THE fleet command told Mr..
Bell it was Pentagon policy in
turning him down." said Mr..
Klein.
The editor said he took the
application to Washington. He
added:
"Spokesmen for the Secretary
of State and the Secretary Of
Defense said their firm policy
was against allowing reporters
with units of the 7th Fleet.
Mr.. Klein stated that during
Roosevelt, Truman and Eisen-
hover administrations reporters
were allowed to travel with &C
tive units of the fleets in po-
tential war areas.

reduction or elimina-
ton of tax exemptions for
American citizens who reside
abroad.
Mr.. Kennedy estimated that
SO billion of taxable income
from interest and dividends is
unreported to the Internal
Revenue Service each year. He
proposed requiring corporations,
banks and others that pay
dividends and interest to with
hold 20 per cent of the payments
before disbursement. Refunds
would be paid by the Govern
ment for excessive withholding.
Existing law let's stockhold-
erS exclude from their taxable
income the first $50 of divi-
dends they receive each year.
They also deduct from their
tax bills an amount equal to
4 per cent of dividend income
above $50.
Mr.. Kennedy recommended
repeal of both these provisions,
calling them unfair and inef-
fective as incentives for in
veStment.
The proposal on depreciable
business property is addressed
to this situation: A taxpayer
buys a building for $4,000,
deducts $4,000 of depreciation
over a period of years, and
sells the building for $1,000.
Under existing law, he pays a
tax on his $4,000 gain at the
capital-gains rate, which has
a maximum of 25 per cent.
The President proposed to
tax $4,000 of the gain-the
difference between the depre-
ciated cost and the original
cost-at ordinary rates, which
are higher than capital-gains
rates in most income brackets.
Only the $1,000 gain over the
original cost would be taxed
at the capital-gains rate.

Press Conferences on N
Here to Stay, SoIinger Says

Sponsibility of reporters as any,
one else.
Mr.. Salinger said the main
criticism received at the White
House dealt with the questions
asked by reporters. But he
added that the quality of the
questions is mo better or no
worse" than of those asked in
the Truman, Eisenhower and
Roosevelt administrations.
Mr.. LiSagor had suggested
that it might be we'll to have
small groups meet with the
President in his office. Mr..
Salinger said this might be a
good plan if Mr.. Lisagor would
agree to pick the five or six
to attend.
If he does, Mr.. Salinger
added, Il hope he will run for
cover, for he will need it."
Halls Opening of Lines"
Mr.. Salinger also took ad-
vantage of his appearance be-
fore the editors to defend the
Kennedy administration against
charges by the society's Free
dom of Information Commit
tee that while reporters have
more access in the White House,
they have encountered trouble
with suppression Of news.
1T is my opinion that this
administration has done more
to open up the lines of COM
munication in the last three
months than any administra-
tion in comparable period,
Mr.. Salinger said.
The criticism was made in a
report by the committee headed
by Eugene Pulliam Of the In
dianapolis News.
Mr.. Pulliam asked Mr..
Salinger if there was under
consideration a change in the
executive order granting de-
partments and agencies the
right of classifying informa-
tion. Mr.. Salinger replied that
the matter is under study.
Another editor asked why
written questions were not sub
mitted in advance for the
Presidents press conference.
Mr.. Salinger said this matter
had been discussed, but the
problem was who would screen
the questions and determine
those which should be asked.
Prior to appearing before the
editors, Mr.. Salinger released
an exchange of correspondence
between himself and Mr..
Pulliam raising and answering
nine specific questions con-
cerning the flow of Govern
ment information
/ Mr.. Salinger wrote that he
shared the view expressed by
Mr.. Pulliam in his letter that
as much information as posi-
ble must be made available to
the people" Then he took UP
the specific instances raised by
Mr.. Pulliam.

Kennedy Tax Message
Blasted by Republicans

Indicating he prefers to lib
eralize the regular depreciation
provisions, Mr.. Byrnes said I'VE
are moving into dangerous new
ground when we say in effect
that we will exempt from taxa
ton some income that is being
turned into capital-if it is in
vested the way the Government
says to invest it,"
Inconsistency Charged
He contended Mr.. Kennedy
was inconsistent when he ac-
companied this investment
stimulating proposal with one
on dividends which, Mr.. ByrneS
said, would tend to discourage
investment in corporate secur-
tiles.
But Byrnes said II wouldn't
suggest the message is all bad; /;
some of the things in it have
potentials."
Another Republican member
of the committee, Representa-
tive Alger of Texas, termed the
Kennedy message "a miShmash
of muddled goals and uncertain
generalities that will tend to
have a disturbing impact on
economic recovery and prog
ress."
He said the document "em-
braces some of the more leftist
AFL-CIO tax recommended
tions" and that it is "a decla-
ration of war on American free
enterprise"
Representative Dero unia n,
Republican Of New York. also
a Ways and Means member,
said the message combines
"hokum and hyperbole" and
that Mr.. Kennedy "seeks to en-
courage increased capital in
vestment while at the same
time seeking to discourage the
availability of investment cap
ital funds"

TAX
Kennedy Would Curb
Expense Accounts

ceive the $4,000 tax credit plus
an additional $15,000-equiva-
lent to IS per cent of the
amount by which the new in
vestment exceeded the depreci-
alton allowance.
Irrespective of depreciation
allowances, any company would
receive a tax credit of 10 per
cent of the first $4,000 of new
investment, or $500.
The total amount of the tax
credit would be deducted from
the company's tax bill. If the
company investing 100000, for
example, had tax bill of $780,
900, it would deduct $4,000
and pay the Government only
$82, 900. No company's tax
credit could exceed 30 per cent
of its tax bill in any one year.
Regular depreciation would
be allowed in addition to tax
credits. With some exceptions,
investments made since last
January l would qualify for
tax credits.
Overseas Proposals
The tax proposals relating to
foreign subsidiaries of Ameri-
can companies are designed to
decrease tax incentives for
overseas investment. Such in
veStmentS cause an outflow of
dollars from the United States
and thus are a factor in the
balance of payments deficit.
Under present law, the United
States does not tax profits of
foreign subsidiaries until they
are returned to the parent
American company as dividends.
The President proposed to con-
tinue tax deferral for subsidi-
aries in underdeveloped coun-
tries, but to end the deferral
privilege over a tWo-year period
+ for subsidiaries in Western
Europe and other developed
countries.
This proposal is designed to
encourage return of profits to
the United States. Returning
profits count as a plus on the
balance of payments ledger.

BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy's ia x
message ran into immediate
Republican criticism today.
One called it "a declaration
OF war on American free enter
prise"
But key members of both
parties in the House said they
want to hear more details of
the Presidents proposals, which
ranged widely over business tax
policies and included some un-
precedented suggestions.
Mr.. Kennedy's recommended
ton to abolish special exclu-
sions and tax credits for divi-
dend income was a special
target.
Even a Democratic member
of the tax-writing Ways and
Means Committee who said he
favored the change conceded it
would not be easy to bring
about. Representative Mach
rowicz of Michigan said this
suggestion was probably the
most controversial of all those
in what he called IAN excellent
message; something we can get
through the committee"
Representative Mills, Demo-
crat of Arkansas, Ways and
Means Committee chairman,
withheld comment on the con-
tents of the message, saying
merely the committee will set
hearings soon on the proposals.
Wrong Direction"
Representative Byrnes of
Wisconsin, a senior member of
the committee and chairman of
the House Republican Policy
Conference, said the recon-
mendation on dividends moves
in the wrong direction"
Mr.. Byrnes expressed doubts
also about the major innova-
tion in Mr.. Kennedy's suggested
changes-a new tax credit sys-
tenn to encourage businesses to
invest in new plant and equip
ment.
Mr.. Byrnes said this plan,
under which a company so in
vesting more than it's annual
depreciation allowance would
be allowed direct Is per cent
deduction from taxes, would set
"a dangerous precedent"
