Excise Tax Bill
Awaits Signing
~ the Associated Press

Legislation to extend for an
other year the present excise
tax rates on liquor, wine, beer,
cigarettes, automobiles and
other items today awaited Pres
ident Kennedy's signature.
Congressional action on the
measure was completed yester-
day when the Senate approved
it by a voice vote.
Mr.. Kennedy asked for the
bill which would continue the
present corporation income tax
of So per cent and would also
prevent a drop in the excise
taxes on transportation, local
telephone service, and auto
parts and accessories.
The reductions were due to
take effect June 80 and would
have meant a lose af $3.7 billion
in annual revenue.

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy urged Congress today
to pass a 3-point program for
training unemployed youths be-
tween 16 and 81 because, he
said, automation is reducing job
opportunities in the face of a
rapidly rising population.
Mr.. Kennedy made it clear
to a Senate Labor Subcommit-
tee, however, that he favors a
modest experimental beginning
because of the general condi-
tion of the budget. The youth
employment opportunities bill
now before the committee au-
thorizes three programs which
would:
/. Provide on-the-job train
ing for about $4,000 youths;
2. Provide for Federal-State
cooperation to place another
$4,000 in local public service
jobs;
3. Set up a youth conserva-
ton corps to enroll about 5000
youths in outdoor conservation
work.

U. S. to Try
ToHitMoon
Next Year
BY the Associated Press

The United States will at
tempt to hit the moon with ar
unnamed space vehicle called
Ranger" sometime early next
year, space agency officials re-
port. Unofficial word is that il
may come in January.
One main objective is to take
television pictures of the moons
surface at distances ranging
from 1000 miles to less than
20 miles above the lunar surface
and transmit them back to
earth before the space probe
makes impact.
The lunar probe will also be
equipped with a smaller instru-
ment package containing a
seiSmograph. This will be re-
leased a short time before the
main probe makes impact, and
the hope is the smaller pack
age can land on the moon
without being destroyed-leaV-
ing the seismograph intact for
studies of the moons structure
The smaller package will be
protected by rugged structural
materials.
The Ranger will be a 750-
pound space vehicle, about 10
feet tall. From a hexagonal
rim will sprout four pipe-like
legs which will converge at the
top. The vehicle will be
launched by an Atlas-Agena
rocket.
In preparation for the i'm
pact shot, the space agency will
conduct two preliminary shots,
each designed to send the
space probe into a long ellipti-
cal orbit, but without making
impact.

Ambassador Laughs at Talk of Plot
To Assossinote Him in Buenos Aires

COHIlnueu FROM rIrSG rage
Argentine capital and had gone
shopping.
Mr.. Stevenson was greeted by
Brig. Gen. Chester Clifton,
President Kennedy's military
aide.
UnderSecretary of State Ches-
ter Bowles also welcomed Mr..
Stevenson, who was accompa-
MED by his son, Borden. Two
presidential aides active in
Latin-American affairs, Arthur
M. Schlesinger, jr., and Richard
Goodwin, greeted Mr.. Steven
son. Representatives of Ecuador
and Brazil were on hand.
Mr.. Stevenson scheduled to
make appearances before House
and Senate committees next
week to detail his Latin Ameri-
can findings.
Officials in Washington and
Argentina said there is no evi-
dence to link the shooting of a
United States Marine guard in
Buenos Aires with any plot to
aSSaSsinate Mr.. Stevenson.
Two New York area news
papers, the New York World
Telegram and Sun and the
Newark Star-Ledger, reported
yesterday that a group of ex-
tremiStS had plotted to kill Mr..
Stevenson during his visit to
BuenoS Aires. They said the
Marine was wounded in an
aftermath of the conspiracy.
Marine Wounded
At his news conference yes
terday, Secretary of State Rusk
said a Marine, who the State
Department identified as Sergt.
James j. Lucinskis, "a, of Chi
cago, was wounded recently by
an Argentine civilian. But Mr..
Rusk said there was no evidence
connecting the shooting with
Mr.. Stevenson's visit.
The State Department said
an unknown civilian shot Sergt.
LucinskiS in the chest with a
pistol the day after Mr.. Steven
son departed. The Embassy
there said the shooting hap
pened after the Marine sergeant
had left a suburban night club
where he had been with EN-
baSsy friends.
Sergt. Lucinskis' condition, is
satisfactory, the State Depart
ment said, and he is expected
to be able to return to duty in
about 10 days.
In Buenos Aires, Navy Capt.
Raul Enrique Peyon, police CO.
ordination chief, said the shoot
ing was a personal affair. He
added that there was never any
evidence of a plot against Mr..
Stevenson.

respectable commodity he calls
middle manpower.
The Peace Corps is admit
tedly at the awkward stage
right now. It has not sent
anyone to the field yet and will
not until November. It is busy
answering questions as to what
it will and will not do. and Mr..
Shriver admitted yesterday at
a Senate Foreign Relations
Committee hearing that there
are some questions about the
Peace Corps that only time
and experience will answer"
Church State Issue
Since the disclosure that halt
of its first 38 projects will be
undertaken in association with
private agencies, some of them
religious, new questions have
arisen as to the church-State
issue. Mr.. Shriver assured the
committee that no church
group will receive Peace Corps
grants unless it accepts volun-
teers regardless of race or re-
ligion. Volunteers will neither
be proselytes or propagandists
Mr.. Shriver's testimony also
brought from Senator Lausche
Democrat Of Ohio, a query as
to the reason for the corps
existence, if $4,000 missionaries
in the field are already doing
the work it proposes to do.
When Mr.. Shriver went ur
for confirmation before tht
Committee in March, members
were being deluged with in
quiries from constituents anc
in some cases relatives, who
were eager to join the cause.
In the meantime, the first
great wave of enthusiasm ha!
receded. After 10000 inquiries
some 1864 asked for applica.
tion blanks. Of these $500 ap.
plicants were ineligible or un.

Decision Due
Thursday on
Annexation

A three-judge annexation
court announced today it would
hand down a decision next
Thursday in the Falls Church
annexation suit against Fair
fax County.
Both sides made closing argu-
ments in the trial, which has
lasted Is days in the Fairfax
Circuit Court. More than 500
exhibits were filed in the
lengthy. complicated proceed
ings.
The principal point of con-
tention in closing arguments
was over the amount of bonded
Indebtedness that would be in
volved.
No matter what ruling the
special three-judge annexation
court issues, the side adversely
affected doubtless will appeal.
Yesterday Fairfax introduced
the last of 81 witnesses and 100
exhibits it has submitted in
the case which has given i'm
petus to its efforts to become
a city and thereby gain i'm
munity from future annexa-
ton by neighboring jurisdic-
tionS.
The main theme of the
county's arguments has been
that Falls Church, in trying 10
absorb the Seven Corners
Shopping Center together with
the Sleepy Hollow and Falls
Hill residential areas, is BADLY
attempting to steal tax-rich
territory.
It further has contended that
these areas are receiving eX-
cellent community services, dc
not want to be annexed and
are essential to maintenance
of a balanced tax base in the
county.
Falls Church has asserted
that it must have the terri
tory in question if it is to grow
and progress. It maintains il
can supply better community
services at a lower cost.

YoungG.O.P.
Meets, lacks
To the Right
By DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staff Writer

MINNEAPOLIS, June 23-
Some 1900 Young Republicans
met here today in a session
their party elders regard as a
significant test ground for fu-
ture G. o. P. leadership and
doctrine.
And from all indications, the
direction this convention wants
to see the party move is due
right.
The prevailing mood of the
40-year- -old-and-under Repub-
lican leaders here for the Young
Republican National Conven-
tion-the group former Presi-
dent Eisenhower and other
senior G. o. P. citizens want
to give increasing prominence
in coming months-was clearly
shown by their reaction yes
terday to a speech by Senator
Tower, the newly elected Texas
Republican.
They cheered his jibeS at the
medieval programs" of the
Kennedy New Frontier. But the
line that brought a prolonged
standing ovation was the SIM
pie declaration: 81 wear the
badge of conservatism proudly.
Middle Readers to Speak
Today three Spokesmen OF
middle road Republicanism
National Chairman William E
Miller. his predecessor, Senator
Morton of Kentucky, and Rep
resentative Judd of Minnesota,
will test their views on the con-
vention delegates.
Tonight conServatism's lead
ing spokesman, Senator Gold
water Of Arizona, will make
what his many hackers here
are planning as triumphal ap-
pearance. And on Saturday
former Vice President Nixon
will speak at the conventions
closing session.
New York Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller, who appears to
have few hackers outside his
home State delegation, is by
passing the convention to fly
directly to the Governors Con-
ference in Hawaii.
Between the formal speeches
and the informal partying at
nearby lakeside clubs, the dele
gates are caucusing on the
Young Republican platform and
the choice of new officers for
the federation.
Marylanders' Role
The platform is scheduled for
adoption today, with advance
indications that some Mary
land delegates may take the
lead in an effort to strengthen
what is understood to be an
exceptionally mild civil rights
plank.
