$4,000 BrawI
AtBeach Party

SANTA MONICA, Calf, June
5 (AP).-A wild brawl ended a
Saturday night beach party,
planned for a few thousand
rock n roll fans, at which
more than $4,000 showed up.
One girl was raped, another
was beaten to the sand and
stomped by rioters. and a third
suffered a serious eye injury
when a firecracker was thrown
in her face.
Fifty sheriff's officers and
highway patrolmen braved a
barrage of rocks, beer bottles
and cans to break up the mob.
Fourteen youths were arrested.
Rioting members of the vast
throng ripped plumbing out
of public rest rooms and tore
parts off lifeguard towers to
build giant bonfires. Singer
Fabian, who was to entertain
at the party, refused to 60 on
when it began to get out of
control.
Los Angeles radio station,
KRLA, planned the party. It
was held at Zuma Beach, a
county facility 20 miles north
of here. The violence began
as the formal party ended at
11:15 pm.
"It was a milling, drinking,
ugly crowd of $4,000 to 10000
young people on the beach in
the dark" said Capt. Kirby
Temple of the county lifeguard
service.
"They were fighting, shout
ing, grabbing girls, and tearing
each others clothes. You name
it and they did it,"
Law officers blamed the
trouble on drinking. There was
no race problem, they said.
Most of the youths arrested
were charged with drunkenness,
bringing alcohol into a county
park or juvenile possession of
alcohol.
Herb Heiman, KRLA pro-
gram director, said the trouble
started when the program
ended and the crowd didn't
want to leave. He blamed the
rioutous incidents on a hand
full of toughies."
It took law officers four
hours to clear the beach COM
pletely.

London Editorial
Scores Graham

LONDON, June 5 (AP).-A
British newspaper today said
Billy Graham's brand of evan
gelism is the wrong way to go
about winning Christians.
The Daily Sketch, comment
ing editorially on Mr.. Graham's
current crusade in Britain, de-
clared:
'"The secret of the apparent
success of DR.. Billy Graham S
message and methods is that
they are mutton dressed up like
lamb.
"Dr. Graham appears to give
a dramatic and brightly mod
ern presentation of the claims
of Christ upon the human soul.
But what he offers is, in
fact, a return to the dangerous
and primitive habit of getting
a man to change his mind while
his emotions are disturbed.
"This dependence on the de-
ciSionS made in the heat of
emotion is wrong"
The Sketch added:
"Right-thinking people should
be concerned that the mind,
the intellect, the imagination
and the memory all play their
part in the decision.
when emotions heightened
by Billy Graham's evangelism
have departed, the Christian
message, too, often departs with
them"

Overseas Tax
Proposals Hit
BY the Associated Prsss

The United States Council of
the International Chamber of
Commerce objected today to
tax proposals it said would
hamper private investment
abroad.
In testimony prepared for
the House Committee on Ways
and Means, a council spokeS-
man said administration pro-
posalS would limit sales of
American products and en-
danger domestic employment.
Proposals for taxing foreign
income on both corporate and
individual levels represent "a
serious backward step in our
relations with the rest of the
free world" said Fred w. Peel
of the council.
Mr.. Peel said "far-reachinA
permanent changes" in the tax
treatment of foreign income
were sought to correct a bal
ance of payments deficit
which appears to be a tempo
rary emergency"
He said such a situation was
hardly a Justification for per-
manent structural changes in
our tax system"
He criticized particularly a
proposal he said would tax
income Of United States sub
sidiaries in developed nations
before the funds are re-
patriated.
Also criticized was a propo-
sal to deny an income tax ex-
cluSion to United States citi-
zenS working in developed ma
tions, and limiting this exclu-
sion to a maximum of $4,000
in underdeveloped nations.
He said increased personal
income tax liability would ham
dicap the use abroad of highly
trained top management per-
sonnel.
Should American firms fail
to maintain their position in
Europe, said Mr.. Peel, their
place will be taken by Euro
pean-owned companies which
may not have the same af-
finity for American goods and
services"

Vienna PIeases
Mansfield
BY the Associated Press


Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield of Montana says
President Kennedy probably
will have further conferences
with Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev.
Senator Mansfield said yes
terday the two-day Kennedy
Khrushchev meeting prob
ably laid the groundwork" for
further talks between the two
leaders.
The Senate leader said he
thought the summit talk
turned out a little better than
anticipated" His comments,
like those Of other Democratic
Congress members, were eau
tiously optimistic.
The new Republican ma
tional chairman, Representa-
tive William E. Miller of New
York, took a different tack.
He said he hoped and prayed
Mr.. Kennedy didn't go to
Vienna to negotiate some
r-the-table deal" to in
crease his prestige.
Mr.. Miller said Mr.. Ken
nedy's decision to meet with
Mr.. Krushchev was a 100 per
cent switch" from his campaign
statements that there would
be no summit meetings and no
personal diplomacy except after
profound and long staff meet
ings and a well-prepared
agenda."
Mr.. Miller appeared with
Senator Heating, Republican,
of New York, on a program
recorded for use on New York
TV and radio stations.
From Representative Kilday,
Democrat of Texas, came the
comment, 81 imagine other
meetings are going to be nee
esSary." Mr.. Kilday, a member
of the House Armed Services
Committee, said he had not
been keen on personal diplom-
acy in the past.
Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee, said reports on the
Vienna talks contained two
'pluses":
THE two leaders have re-
stated a mutual desire for a
neutral Laos and President
Kennedy and the Russian
Premier met amicably for two
days, which is a plus for civility
| for Mr.. Khrushchev."
