the withholding proposal would
work a hardship on retired per-

The Senate Finance Commit
tee has completed hearings on
President Kennedy's tax reyi-
sion bill after getting an esti-
mate that unpaid Federal in
come taxes on interest and
dividends would amount to $1.1
billion by next year.
The estimate came yesterday
from Secretary Of the Treasury
Dillon. He spent most Of the
day answering questions by
committee members, many Of
them centering on the proposal
to withhold taxes Oh dividends
and interest at the source.
Previously, the administra-
ton has estimated that people
who didn't pay the taxes were
costing the Treasury about
$500 million q year, based on
1859 figures.
Mr. Dillon said first esti-
mates on the 1860 figures now
are available and the loss Of
revenue Is estimated at $3.50
million. He predicted that by
1858, when the controversial
provision would become effec-
tive II passed by Congress, the
loss would be $l.1 billion an
nually.
He emphasized that the with
holding proposal is not a new
tax or a higher tax. but merely
a more effective way Of collect
ing a tax already due.
Senator's have been deluged
by mail on the bill. which has
been passed by the House. Sen
ator Douglas, Democrat Of
Illinois, told Mr.. Dillon he had
received 10000 letters on the
withholding provision, most Of

Although many Of the more

The United States Attorneys
office has ruled that crime in

sufficient for presentation to

Principal Assistant United
States Attorney Charles T. Dun
can said c. Sumner Stone, edi-
tor Of the Washington edition
of the Afro-Ameriean, met with
him and United States Attorney
David c. Acheson on Thursday.
The meeting followed charges
by Mr.. Stone that Washington
police have failed to crack down
on crime here. The Rev. E.
Franklin jackson, president Of
the District branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People,
has made similar charges.
Investigation Asked
Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray, after the criticism, asked
Mr.. Acheson to start a grand
jury investigation Of the
charges. Mr.. Acheson called on
the Afro-American editor to
provide details to back UP the
charges against police.
Mr.. Duncan said Mr.. Stone
had provided several sheets Of
paper" containing over 20
names and other information
at Thursdays meeting. Earlier,
the editor had said his infor-
nation involved gambling. pros
titution and narcotics law vio-
lations.
Mr.. Duncan would not give
details of the information Mr.,
Stone provided. However. he
said there was mot enough in
formation for us to present 1t
to a grand jury"
Murray Informed
He said the information had
been turned over to Chief Muir
ray ''for what action he deems
appropriate" Mr.. Dune a n
would say only that some of
/ the information involved al
legged gambling activities.
Chief Murray deplored the
charges today. He said it was
unfortunate the police have to
take up their time with such
complaints.
Mr. Stone had said he had
information from three Wash
ington policemen still on ac-
tive duty and other informa-
ton from an anonymous caller
who claimed to be a former
policeman.
( Mr.. Duncan declined to say
why the information provided
| by the editor was not enough

sent information on alleged
criminal activity to the grand

would be tested with q nu-

Asroc is a 15-foot missile de-
signed to be fired from de-
stroyers, cruisers, or frigates.
1t already is operational and
about $50 ships Of the fleet are
due to be armed with them
within the next few years.
When fired, the 1,000-pound
Asroc speeds through the air
to the target area, then hits
the water and homes in, on
enemy submarines by following
their sounds. 1t can be fitted
either with high-explosiye tor
pedo warheads or depth
charges armed with nuclear
warheads.
Eight Mile Range
The Asroc, experts say, is
capable Of destroying an enenE
submarine at ranges up to
about eight miles.
The Subroc, another power
full weapon, still is in develop
ment.
1t is a guided missile designed
to be fired from a submerged
submarines torpedo tubes or
from the surface. The missile
travels through the air, then
re-enters the water for the kill.
Navy specialists say the
Subroc system can detect an
other submarine at long range
and compute its course and
speed before the missile is
launched.
The spent rocket falls away
and the warhead-either con-
ventional or nuclear-races on
to the target. The Subroc's kill
range is described as IAN area
of many square miles around

it expects no hazard from radio
