PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT
Kennedy Defends Tax Bill

Here is a partial teri of
President KenHedy's neiDS
conference yesterday:
The President: I have one
announcement, a statement
Because mail received at the
White House and by members
Of the Senate indicates that q
great number of people have
been badly miSinforIned con-
cerning one feature of the
pending tax bill. / want to take
this opportunity to set the rec
ord straight on our proposal to
collect taxes which are due on
dividends and interest.
The paid advertisements and
circulars financed by the Saw
ings and Loan associations, who
have made great profits in re-
cent years and paid very little
in taxes - I think something
like SIS billion, while paying
$40 million in taxeS-by banks
and others. have led many peo-
pie to believe, l. That this is a
new tax or a tax increase; 2.
That it will take money un-
Justly from honest taxpayers;
3. That it will create a noun
tain of red tape costing more
than it will bring in; and 4.
That it will harm the elderly,
the widows and orphans, and
others of low income.
Not a single one of these
charges is true. This bill simply
proposes to collect taxes on
dividends and interest income
in the same fashion that it has
been collected on our wages
and salaries for the past 19
years. This is not a new tax. 1t
has been on the books for years.
Those recipients Of dividends
and interest who already pay
their taxes will not be affected
in any way. Those whose in
come is too low to be subject
to tax will not be affected, for
they can exempt themselves
from withholding by a simple
statement. The only ones af-
fected will be those individuals
who are not now paying the
taxes they owe on this income.
either through neglect or for
some other reason.
This is tax evasion, tax eva
sion of $500 million a year
which must be made up by
other taxpayers who pay their
taxes. And it should be re-
membered that about 80 per
cent of dividend income goes
to fewer than 7 per cent of the
taxpayers, whose income ex-
ceeds $4,000 a year. In short.
defeat of this provision will not
help older people with small in
comes who would be either ex-
empt from it or could file each
quarter for a prompt income
by filling out a simple slip at
the Post office or bank, as
is done every year by those who
are involved in withholding. 1t
will help, the defeat Of this
bill, only those who evasion
of present taxes is costing every
honest taxpayer dearly. ....
Here is $500 million in taxes
which have been on the books
for years which is not now be-
ing paid and which must be
made up by every other tax
payer, particularly those-par-
ticularly-who find themselves
their wages withheld on
wages and salary.
So I am hopeful that those
who oppose this bill, particu-
larly savings and loan banks,
who have benefited so greatly.
who have not been paying their
taxes and who wish to de-
feat the bill because it does
place a Just burden on them,
who wish to defeat it by mis-
informing so many millions of
people, I hope they will start
to send out the correct record.

Plans No Complaint
On Press Criticism

@. Mr.. President, perhaps -.
you would comment for us on
the press in general, as you
see 1t from the presidency
perhaps its treatment of your
administration. its treatment
Of the issues Of the day.
A. Well. I am reading more
and enjoying it less, and so
on, but I have not complained
nor do I plan 10 make any
general complaints. I read and
talk to myself about it, but
don't plan to issue any general
statement on the press. They
are doing their task, as a
critical branch. the fourth es-
tate. and I am attempting to
do mine and we are going to
live together for a period, and
then go our separate way.

Concerned at Break
In Ceose-Fire

@. Mr.. President, last Febru-
ary at a news conference you
told us that the cease-fire was
becoming frayed in Laos and
in the event it was broken, II
could lead to a very serious
decision. I wonder, Mr.. Presi-
dent, now that the cease-fire
has been broken, If efforts
should fail to re-establish it.
would it cause a re-examina-
ton on the part of the United
States toward its policy there?
A. Well we are concerned
about the break in the cease
fire. Our Ambassador IN
Moscow met with the foreign
secretary of the Soviet Union,
Mr.. Gromyko. We do believe

President Kennedy, although
striking back at West German
Chancellor Adenauer's public
veto of the plan for a 13-mem-
ber international Access Author
ity for Berlin. in effect con-
cedes West Germany has the
power to block the proposal.
Referring to Mr.. Adenauer's
opposition to the plan at
his news conference yesterday.
the President said that I'VE GER
tainly recognize the necessity
of maintaining unanimity Of
the alliance"
But Mr.. Kennedy challenged
West Germany to make a larger
contribution to NATO defense
If it wants to exert major in
fluence on the Berlin problems.
U. S. Rights Asserted
He said that the United
States had won its right to
probe for q Berlin solution by
contributing more to European
defenses than other countries
most concerned, including West
Germany.
What we are attempting to
do" Mr.. Kennedy said, "is to
work out a solution which will
provide more security for the
people Of West Berlin, because
when the difficult times come,
it is the United States that
carries the difficult burden and
is looked to to take the major
actions which will sustain the
freedom Of the city. So think
we have some right to at least
explore the possibilities of
finding a better solution than
we now have"
west Germany, Mr.. kennedy
reported, supports the general
idea Of an International Access
S Authority to control the routes
to West Berlin but is concerned
about the makeup Of the
authority, "the relative power

The Reverse Freedom
Rides" in which some Southern
segregationists provide one-way
fares for Negroes who want to
move North were described as
rather a cheap exercise" by
President Kennedy.
The President told his news
conference yesterday that hun
dreds of thousands of people
move from one State to another
and called the maneuver a
publicity device by one man.
George Singelmann of the
Citizens Council of Greater
New Orleans and self described

made to send Negro families to

Possibly the solution to q
frustrating press conference
like yesterdays would be to
permit the President one ques-
ton Of his own per session, say
at the halfway mark.
About AIS in the State De-
.partment auditorium yesterday
afternoon, under that rule, the
President could have said to
the reporters. why don't you
ask me about the Estes case?"

Dillon 10 Push
For Tax Bill
By the Associated Press

The administrators appeaI
to the Senate Finance Commit
tee for favorable action ON its
tax-revision bill ends today
where 1t began more than 9
month ago-with a plea from
Treasury Secretary Dillon.
More than 200 witnesses have
paraded before the committee
since Mr.. Dillon made his first
pitch April 2 for tax withhold
ing on dividends and interest
AS he returns, he will find this
provision-and several others
in serious trouble.
In an effort to muster sup
port for the measure President
Kennedy opened his news con-
ference yesterday with q long
statement that he said would
"set the record straight" on
MS WlCnnololng plan.
He declared the Government
would collect taxes on dividends
and interest the same way 1t
has collected on wages and sal
aries for years. Evaders would
be adversely affected If the
bill became law. he said.
Democratic leaders had urged
the President to make such q
statement at his conference.
They said today they were
strongly hopeful his presenta-
ton would stem the heavy tide
of mail running against the
Withholding plan-and perhaps
reverse it.

TO live together for q period
and then 60 our separate ways." !"
1t seemed as though he might
crack when he was asked II he
agreed with a recent poll which
indicated that people think the
reporters ask silly questions at
these press conferences.
If he had been speaking
frankly at the moment, his an
swer would have been, "They
certainly do, / must say"
But he forbore. Instead he
answered the second half of the
query which the poll showed
people thought was worthy, and
gave the first Of several long
speeches on foreign policy.
He was no franker when
asked about politics. He said he
was pleased" with the results
of the Florida and Texas pri-
maries. Actually, in Texas it
means an all out New From
tiersman faces the hand-picked
candidate Of Vice President
johnson for the Governors
chair.
He got an embarrassing ques-
ton about rumors he would
drop the Vice President from
the ticket in 1864. He put them
down, twice calling the Vice
President Invaluable"
Steel Issue in Perspective
He had to repeat himself
again, when an unwelcome
question about his fathers Ian
guage came up. He explained
that he had been misquoted,
that his fathers reference to
the dubious ancestry Of some
businessmen had applied only
to steel men. The older Ken
nedy had worked for a steel
company, "and he formed an
opinion which he impaired to
me, and which I found appro-
pirate that evening"
That's all past" said the
President Of the resent un-
pleasantness with the steel
companies. That's all past"
And so soon was his oppor-
tunity to tell all he knew about
the Estes case, and frustrated
press and frustrated President
went their separate ways.

Byrd Dubious

Finance Committee Chair
man Harry F. Byrd, Democrat
of Virginia, told a reporter
after Mr.. Kennedy's statement
that he was keeping an open
mind on the provision. But he
has expressed serious doubts
about hardships it might cause.
Senator John j. williams,
Republican of Delaware, senior
Republican on the committee,
said in a separate interview he
would hear Mr.. Dillon's testi-
mony before making a final
decision. But he said he WOULD
not vote for it unless he was
satisfied it was administra-
lively workable.
Administration supporters say
privately they cannot count on
more than seven Of the II COM
mittee members voting now for
withholding. They expect all
six Republicans to oppose It.
Opponents Of the provision
argued in the hearings it would
cause severe hardshipS for old
persons who live on dividend
and interest income.
Warn Of Burden
Corporations and savings in
stitutions insisted that it would
impose a heavy administrative
burden on them.
The Treasury figures the
Withholding system, at q flat
20 per cent rate, would pick up
$3.50 million Of the taxes now
evaded. Ja. u
The President said advertis-
ing by savings and loan aSso-
Citations, banks and others, had
led some persons to believe q
new tax was being proposed,
instead Of q different method
Of collecting one now due.
Evening star., 1962-05-10

He had every reason to ex-
pect that the subject would
come up. Its more strident fea-
t1res-locked offices, guarded
checks and $16.e5 shirts-have
made it the talk Of the town.
Wen Prepared on Issue
AS a matter Of fact, the city
man in the White House had
spent hours arming himself with
uncongenial information about
cotton acreage allotnents and
fertilizer storages, and he was
ready to shoot it out with re-
porters.
He probably even had q ring
ing statement ready on Gov
ernment ethics, something
comparable to Agriculture Sec
'retary Freeman's memorable
dictum Of Monday: "You not
only gotta be pure; you gotta
look pure"
So what happened? Nobody
even mentioned the name Of
Billie Sol Estes.
Press In Coy Mood
The members of the press
were in a mood Of unwonted
coyneSs. They wanted, it seems,
to talk about themselves and
about their relationship with
him.
The President dismissed
these queries rather in the
manner Of a busy man who is
being asked by a woman: do
you love me?" when he is trying
to follow a baseball game on
television. The press got the
answers usual in such cases
laconic, preoccupied and eva
Sive.
A Question to the Point
He said that two newspaper
strikes in the Midwest, while
regrettable, were really none of
his business. On being coaxed
to confide how he thought the
press was treating him-a curl
Gus question, since if it treated
him any better, he might have
to sue for defamation of char
acter-he said they were "going

VIII Bucks
Meet Cincy?
BY LOU FABRO
Times Sports Editor

AS Ohio States magnificent basketball team
prepares for its Big Ten opener at Northwestern to-
morrow night, two big questions come in mind.
First, will the Buckeyes win the conference
crown with an unbeaten record for a second straight
year? And second, will Ohio State and Cincinnati
fight it out for the national championship again?
BEFoR DISCUSSING THESE TWO QUESTIONS,
well point out that it's a foregone conclusion that
Ohio State will win the Big Ten championship for the
third consecutive year. The last time this feat was
accomplished incidentally, was In 1914 when Wiscon-
sin celebrated its third successive conference crown.
Looking over this years Big Ten field, it's diff
cult to visualize how any team but Ohio State can win
the championship. Quite frankly, the Big Tens over
all strength seems to have diminished since last year.
At the same time, Ohio State seems to have grown
stronger.
Fabulous Jerry Lucas, the old master, again, is the
heart of the Buckeye attack. The Incompatible 68
center, who will win All-American honors for the
court. Even this season, playing under the greatest
pressure he has known in his great career, Big Luke
operates like a guy born with a basketball in his
hands.
THEN THERE'S MIGHTY JOHN HAVLIcEK, a
powerfully conditioned 65 demon who seems to run,
run, run without ever firing. And there's 62 Mel
Novel;, who moves and dribbleS with cat-ike speed
and who has one Of the finest fallaWay Jump shots in
college ball today.
Since Lucas, Havlicek and Novel; came on the
scene in 1859, Coach Fred Taylor's Bucks have won
81 games and lost only four. They've lost only one
in their last 43 games. They've won two Big Ten
titles, one NCAA crown and were NCAA runners-up
once.
Other star performers-all well-known TO Buck.
