Pleas on Cuts
Made by House
By SAM EASTMAN

District Government depart
ment heads today urged restor-
alton of ;House-voted budget
cuts totaling about $5.4 million.
The House reduced the Com
missioners. recon- m e n d d
spending program for the cur
rent fiscal year by about $24.2
million, from 1924 million to
$268.2 million.
The appeals by city officials
were made to the Commission
ers. The Commissioners will de-
eide what spending restoration
requests will be made to the
Senate Appropriations Com
mittee.
A major item cut by the
House that is not being ap-
pealed to the Commissioners
is $11.9 million for consolida-
ton and modernization of Dis
trict General Hospital. AL
though the $11.9 million figure
was reflected in the Districts
total proposed spending pro-
gram for the fiscal year that
began July /, only about So
million in cash was needed for
this 12-month period.
Fund Need Seen
A city budget office state
ment today on the restoration
requests said that, with enact
ment of new revenue legisla-
ton. a higher Federal payment
will be needed if the spending
items are restored by Congress.
OF the $5.4 million total in
restoration requests, about SAT
million is in the general fund,
the city's major bookkeeping
category. The balance is for
projects financed by the high
way fund.
To pay for the general-fund
items requested today, the $50
million Federal payment rec
commended by the House would
have to be increased by about
$3.S million, budget officials
told the Commissioners.
This calculation takes into
account such fiscal items as
surplus cash and proposed sup

mendations. There is enough
money in the highway fund to
cover the other restoration
items, the report said.

The United States, after
weeks of consultation with
Britain, France and West Ger
many, plans to send a note to
Moscow Monday or Tuesday re-

mand and warning anew thai
the Western Powers will mo-

Western powers basic position
is that the divided city Of Ber-

capital of a German nation re-
united through free elections

One Phase Of Program
United States officials feel
however. that the Forthcoming
note will be only one shot in
the propaganda battle and that
further measures must be
taken. The proposed white
paper-a term loosely used
here to cover an official docu-
ment reviewing the history OF
a controversy-fits into this
pattern of propaganda conflict
What some diplomats are be-
ginning to call the Berlin cam
paign by the United States also
is expected to see high officials
of the United States Govern
ment making more and more
public speeches later this year
The plan is to put the issues
and the dangers of the Berlin
crisis before the American peo-
pie as plainly as possible and
to explain what steps the
United States and allied gov
ernments are taking to deal
with the Soviet challenge.
Continuing its criticisms OF
Communist East Germany, the
State Department yesterday
accused the Communist puppet
regime of trying to split the
German Evangelical Church.
Specifically, the department
said East German officials
have been throwing roadblocks
against the annual meeting OF
the Evangelical Church, the
largest German Protestant
sect and one of the few institu-
tions operating in both East

U. S. Pledges Veto
Of Red u. n. Plan
KhrushcheV
Attack Met
Heud-On
BY EARL H. VOSS
Star staff Writer

The United States today
threatened to veto the Soviet
proposal to replace the United
Nations Secretary General
with a three-headed admin
iStration.
Secretary of State RuSk, in a
major policy statement, said,
There is no way that the
Soviet Union can impose his
(Soviet Premier Khrushchev's)
proposal"
This would mean an amend
ment of the Charter, which
requires the consent of the
United States and other per-
manent members of the Sc
curity Council. We would not
consent, nor would the neces-
Sary two-thirds of the General
Assembly. The United Nations
will not destroy itself"
Never Cast Veto
1t was one of the rare occa-
sions on which the United
States had threatened to use
the veto. This country pre-
viously has threatened to in
woke the "unanimity rule" on
admitting Communist China
and in sustaining the authority
of the United Nations first
Secretary General, Trygve Lie.
But it never has cast a veto.
Speaking with the advance
approval of President Ken
needy, Mr.. Rusk charged that
Mr.. KhruShchev is attacking,
the system of equal rights
and equal opportunities" which.
all nations in the world league
now possess.
Noting that Mr.. Khrushchev
had said the U. N. is nnading
for ruin and death" unless 1t
is changed, Mr.. Rusk declared:
mo one else wants the ruin
and death of the United Ma
tionS."
The statement was issued at
the State Department by As
sistant Secretary of State Har-
Ian Cleveland on behalf of
Mr.. Rusk. Press Officer Lin
coin White said the declaration
had the approval of President
Kennedy.
Mr.. Cleveland said the
United States. by threatening
the veto against any applica-
ton of Mr.. Khrushchev's
"troika" formula, is seeking to
prevent other nations from
trying to work out a compro-
mise between the Soviet posi-
ton and the vast majority Of
the U. N. membership which
he said is opposed to the So
Wet position.
Majority Seen Against
Amendments to the charter
require approval of two-thirds
of the General Assembly
membership. The so-called
"troika" proposal could be
instituted only through a
charter amendment.
American officials believe a
great majority of United Ma
ton members, probably more
than 80 of the SO, would oppose
amending the charter to give
Western. Soviet and neutral
blocks veto power over United
Nations actions.
Even if American expecta-
lions that the Soviet proposal
could not win anywhere near
a two-thirds majority proved
incorrect, the amendment still
would require ratification by
the permanent members Of the
Security Council-the United
States, Russia, Britain, France
and Nationalist China. At this
point it could be vetoed.

Dividends. Tax
Plan IsBacked
Withholding Voted
By House Group
BY the Associated Press

Inc HOUSE ways ana Means
Committee today gave tenta-
tive approval to a plan for tax
withholding on dividends and
interest. 1t estimated the plan
would raise $537 million a year
for the Treasury.
Although the committees &C.
ton did not go as far as
President Kennedy had re-
quested. it was still a major
victory for the administration
in its drive to increase revenues
through the existing tax struc-
ture.
The Treasury has estimated
nearly So billion in dividends
and interest is now unreportec
on income tax returns, depriv-
ing the Government Of more
than 1854 million in taxes.
Would Keep e-Sixth
The plan given tentative voice
approval by the tax-writine
committee Of the House today
would withhold one-sixth of q
persons dividend or Interest
payments.
For example. a person whose
investments earned 500 a year
in interest or dividends would
actually get only 1888. The
corporation or bank would turn
the rest over to the Treasury.
The administration had asked
that 20 per cent of such pay
ments be withheld.
The committee proposal con-
tains provisions for quick re-
funds to those whose tax would
not run as high as the with
holding rate. It also provides
for exemptions from withhold
ings for anyone who claims he
does not have enough income tc
pay any tax.
Statement Would Be Made
The exemption would bt
granted merely on the filing Of
a statement by the recipient o.
the payment that he does moi
expect to owe any tax thai
year. The statement would q
to the institution making tn,
payment, and the none!
would not be withheld.
To get a refund the Taxpayer
would file a claim at the enc
of the first quarter indicating
the excess amount withheld
and it would be paid by thu
Treasury. The Treasury woulc
pay the same refund each o.
the three following quarter.
without further claim beins
made, but a new claim woulc
have to be filed each year aftel
the first quarter.
Adoption of the withholding
proposal greatly improved
chances for getting a tax bill
through the House this year
Up until today the committee
had either rejected, deferred o.
drastically altered the admin
istration's proposed tax revi'
Sions.
Benefit Repeal Ignored
The committee decided yes
terday to take no action thi!
year on President Kennedy's
request for repeal of special
income tax benefits for divi.
dends.
The proposal was part Of
Mr.. Kennedy's overall ta2
program. Taxpayers now may
exclude from income for tar
purposes thse first $50 in divi.
dends and receive a 4 per cent
credit against tax for divi-
dends in excess of $50 annually
Meanwhile. the Senate FL
nance Committee voted to per-
NIT a taxpayer to deduct from
taxable income up to 80 pei
cent of his income If he do
mates it to an alumni founda-
ton for benefit of a State uni
versity or college.
Federal law permits a de.
duction up to 20 per cent Of
income for charitable contribu'
tions including those for edu.
cational purposes.
