NEW YORK, Nov. II (AP) .
"A State Department official
says a rule, protested by many
in Washington's press corps,
will be withdrawn if Depart
ment members feel it inhibits
them.
The rule requires any State
Department official who gives
an interview to report to the
Departments public affairs di-
vision the name of the inter-
viewing newsman, his organi-
cation, the subject matter dis
cussed and the date.
Thirteen reporters who cover
the Department protested in 6
letter that the order will dis.
courage officials from "provid.
ing legitimate news informa-
ton"
Robert j. Manning, Assistant
Secretary of State for Public
Affairs, told a discussion group
at the Foreign Correspondents
Center here yesterday:
IF this (the directive) is
taken to be an inhibition, that's
the wrong Interpretation. and
I want it reversed"
In the long run, he said, it
would encourage rather than
inhibit the flow of news to the
public.
But, he added, it would be
revoked if department members
feel they are inhibited py the
rule.

Editors Group Urged
To Uphold Principles

The directive Mr.. Mollenhoff
referred to stated that "the
substance of each interview and
telephone conversation with a
media representative will be
reported to the appropriate
public information office be-
fore the close of business that
day"
Mr.. Mollenhoff said, only
the naive would take seriously
the assurance of Mr.. Sylvester

Mcnamara that the directive i

information available"
He said that even if the or
der is not fully supplemented

of military and civilian per-

Lincoln White, state Depart
ment news director, told press
conference at the editors con-
vention he thought the Presi-

Cuban situation in full, ade-
quately informing the Ameri-
can people.
But he said the people were
not informed ION the day-to-
day exchanges" carried on in
diplomatic negotiations be-
cause, he said, secrecy in such
matters is necessary if they
are to be effective.
Secretary of the Interior
Stewart L. Udall urged news

World War II followed a
relatively short period of
peace, as has always existed
in long-term wars such as

tween France and England
and the Thirty Years reli-
gious wars in Central Europe.
Although we fought World
War II to make the world
safe for democracy, we sup
ported blindly the Soviet gov

worse than the other dicta-
torships.
Europe and Japan recov-
cred from the devaStations of
World War II. But there has
been no peace, even in a lin
tied sense, since 1889. The
fighting continues relentless
ly all over the globe not al
ways with guns and bombers.
The damage inflicted is not
only physical - which is rep
arabic -but moral. The age
old tenets of morality and
intellectual honesty are rap
idly falling by the wayside.
Patriotism and love of coun-
try, which in the past were
the prerequisites for a ma
TONS survival, have become
dirty words in some coun-
tries. In others they have be-
come a means to establish
some new forms of dictator
ships. Art, music and litera-
ture-the type which offendS
the ear and mind - suppressed
ed the beauties of the past.
The very notion of freedom
has undergone a thorough
revision in these so years

this started half-a-century

milestone in history when a

ST. LOUIS, Nov. IT (AP).-
Newspaper editors were warned
yesterday that they and their
reporters must not "be rele-
gated to the status of handout
collectors" from Government
agencies.
The warning was issued to
the National Editorial AsSocia-
ton by Clark R. Mollenhoff of
the Washington Bureau OF
Cowles Publications.
Mr.. Mollenhoff told the as
sociation's convention. IF the
press of this Nation is inter-
eSted in remaining free, it will
be necessary to pay more at
tention to principle and less
attention to eXpediency or per-
sonality."
He said the Cuban crisis re-
suited in lone of our most
dramatic examples of the high
level handout."
He said Assistant Secretary
of Defense Arthur Sylvester
Frankly admitted that the
Kennedy administration en-
gagged in an almost total man
agement of the news during
those days of crisis" by limit
ing information available to
the press to Government hand
outs,
ct has been encouraging. "
he said, ito see the nations
newspapers voicing a general
concern over the news man
agement' during the Cuban
crisis. 1t has been stimulating
to hear the Pentagon report
ers speak with almost a single
voice in opposing the Sylvester
directive to control the inter-
views and telephone conversa-
lions between reporters and
Pentagon personnel"

Space Program
Next Year Nav
Cost S. Billion
BY a Star Staff Writer

LOS ANGELES, Nov. IT,
OUTLAWS for space exploration
may reach Sc billion in the next
fiscal year, according to Depu-
ty Space Administrator Hugh
L. Dryden.
His prediction came in a
speech yesterday before the
American Rocket Society. The
budget forecast was somewhat
higher than other estimates
heard recently. These have av-
eraged around SIS billion to $50
billion.
1.-The costs of the presently
approved program will increase
next year to about Sc billion if
current time schedules are
maintained" DR.. Dryden said.
He explained that this level
of expense probably would pre-
clude an early start on what
he favors as the next big space
project. This is development of
a large manned orbital space
station.

Southern Republicans Second Look
At Election Called Too Gloomy

A Southern Republican,
looking with melancholy eye
upon the results of the No
vember 6 election, wagged a
doleful head and said, If
we are going to make any real
time with building a second
party in the South we will
need to finance some mass
migrationS out of the Repub-
lican areas of the Midwest
and East"
This somber conclusion was
reached in the face of the
really tremendous success of
the Democratic Party in an
off-year election and in the
refurbishing of its progress
sive principles. 1t was not a
day calculated to encourage
Republicans. The Southern
Republican wing worked hard
and made gains. 1t did not do
as well as it, or the national
committee, expected. The best
possible face will be put upon
things. but disappointment
persists.

mournful G.. o. P, when
all is said and done, our ad-
vances appear small. We won
a House seat in Florida in
the Orlando Winter Park
area. There are so many re-
tired Republicans in that
district from Iowa, Vermont
and Kansas that there are
long waiting lines at the
SWITCHBOARD courts. In Flor
ida the Republicans and
Democrats are concentrated
in reservations. One reason
we lost the governorships in
Vermont and New Hamp-

have moved out to Florida.

ROME.-Are We halfway
into another hundred years
war? The gigantic conflict
which is engulfing the world
today is the result OF a chain
reaction which began in Oc-
tober, 1912. In that year the
little kingdom Of Montenegro
now a province of Yugo-
slaVia) opened fire on the
Turkish forces on its borders.
Montenegro was a member
OF the Balkan League which
included Bulgaria, Serbia and
Greece. This coalition, or
ganized by imperial Russia,
had a limited theological pur-
pose-the establishment of
Pan-Slavism.
The Montenegran ruler,
King Nicholas, a Shrewd
stock market operator, did
not wait for his allies to
start the attack on Turkey.
He jumped the gun by three
days, so the story goes, be-
cause he had gone "bearish"
on the Viennese stock mar
ket.,
The first Balkan War end
ed in the utter defeat of Tur-
key. 1t was followed by the
second Balkan War a year
later when the one-time al
lies started fighting each 9TH
er over the debris of the
Ottoman Empire in Europe.
And no sooner was a peace
treaty forced upon the Balk-
an kingdoms by the great
powers than the Sarajevo
tragedy plunged Europe, and
later the United States, into
World War I.
There has been no real
peace in any corner of the
globe since 1912. We cheer

to peddle a poor imitation of
Senator Goldwater's political
goods.
In Alabama the veteran
Lister Hill had a very real
scare from a candidate
labeled Republican" But the
issue in Alabama was race.
The campaign was basically
a hate-the-K ennedys affair.
Alabama is as Indignantly
defiant of the Supreme Court
rulings in the area of segre-
CATION as Mississippi

of Birmingham long have
been closed so that no Negro

sity is under orders to &C
cept qualified students of any
race and DR.. Martin Luther
King, whose very name causes
many Alabamans to come
near to apoplexy, has said
there will be applicants in
January. The Governor-elect
is pledged to go to Jail to
prevent desegregation. The
oxford riots a nd the ham
ding of them inspired addi-
tional hatred of the Kennedy
administration.
All thiS-not Republican,

Hill. The G. o. P. candidate
did not advertise himself as
a Republican on his bill
boards. He seemingly had the
unanimous support of the
States many hate groups,
councils and Khan klaverns,
as we'll as the political ma
chimes of the major cities. So
it was that Senator Hill, who
has been the bread-and-
butter man for much of his
States progress, was a target
simply because to aim at him
seemed a way to get at the
administration in Washing
ton. 1t was a circuS-but not

Tennessee. Texas is a gain.
The point is, we didn't really
pillow much new ground"
This is too gloomy a view
though there is truth in
it.
The Republicans did show
gains in percentage of votes.
1t is reasonable to assume
that there will be a slow gain
in two-party strength. But
merely to prevent oversimpli-
fication, it is well to main
tain perspective. The Repub-
lican Party in Georgia, for
example, is well organized
and supported. 1t made
small gains. But it is a mere
10 years old. 1t began with
the Eisenhower years. 1t re-
placed the old, often venal
facade which never was in
terested in building party
but existed only for patron
age in the years of G. o. P.
presidential victories. The
Georgia party has integrity.
1t is a genuine Republican
party.
Southern Republicans have
difficulty finding candidates.
There has been no time to
build up from the grass roots
to State prominence. The
Southern G. o. P, then, picks
up detecting Democrats. Most
of these, unhappily for Re
publicans, are semi Goldwater
conservatives. They did not
fare too we'll. They did not
attract many young voters.
Democrats, conditioned by
generations of one-party cleo
tions. still have not learned
to vote in the November cleo

atively small. Yet the veter-

Economic Outlook Spurs Tax Reform

valid economic or social pur-
poses.
Decisions have not yet been
made, and the administration
is considering a great variety
of reforms.
Among the so-called loophole
areas under examination are
stock options, C capital gains
rates and depletion allowances
for oil and gas.
1t is very unlikely the Presi-
dent will try in 1868 to revive
the reform proposals rejected
or Watered down by Congress
this year. These included with
holding taxes on income from
dividends and interest, repeal
of the dividend exclusion and
credit, fuller taxation of in
come earned abroad and tight
restrictions on deductions for
entertainment, travel and bust
ness gifts.
Tax Cut Possibilities
The President probably will
propose tax cuts providing for
a net reduction of between S.
billion and $40 billion, after
allowance for revenue raised by
reforms.
He is expected to recommend
reduction of the corporation
tax rate from So per cent to be-
tween At and 40 per cent.
For individuals, the program
probably will call for reducing
the top-bracket rate from 81
to 65 per cent. The bottom
bracket rate of 20 per cent or
the first $4,000 of income may
be reduced as much as five
points, or the bracket may be
split, providing for taxation Of
the first $1,000 at is per cent
and the second $1,000 at be-
tween l8 and 20 per cent.
Rates on intermediate brack-
cts may be cut by two or three
points.

Chances for tough action
against tax "loopholes" have
increased because the economic
outlook has frightened a bit.
The Kennedy administra-
TONS attitude on reform" leg
islation aimed at closing loop
holes has shifted back and
forth with the economic tides
Early in his administration,
the President told Congress he
planned basic, far-reaching re-
form of the tax structure. At
that time, he looked forward
to brisk economic growth.
When the economy started
suffering last winter an d
spring, the administrations en-
thusiasm for tax reform waned
and most of the mpha sis
switched to tax cuts. Officials
limited that reform proposals
would be little more than per-
functory.
Rise in Optimism
Just in the past month OF
so, forecasters have becom c
slightly more optimistic about
the economic outlook. They still
are worried about the econo-
my's sluggishness, but they see
improved prospects for averting
the recession so many had ex-
pected late in 1862 or early in
1868.
With optimism about the
economy growing, the admin
istration now believes it will be
practical to propose major re-
forms-although tax cuts still
have priority in the program
Basis of Reform Plans
The Administrators main
design is to stimulate the econ
omy by reducing taxes. Most
reforms would raise taxes, SO
they would at least superficial
lily offset part of the tax cuts
impact on the economy.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-17

Reforms are advocated on
grounds of equity and to broad
en- the tax base. The idea is
to make the tax system more
just and uniform by minimiz-
ing preferential treatment of
some kinds of income.
Beyond equity, the theory is
that tax rates are high partly
because so much income is un-
taxed or taxed at preferential
low rates. If more income were
taxed, it would be possible to
cut ra ties for all taxpayers
without costing the Govern
ment much revenue.
Many experts contend, fur
thermore, that individuals and
corporations too often make
decisions with a view to taking
advantage of tax loopholes, in
stead of basing actions on eco
nomic grounds. The very exist
ence Of loopholes, therefore,
diStortS the economy.
Despite all these arguments
against loopholes, however, the
fact remains that most reforms
would raise taxes and to some
degree discourage economic &C
tivity. Furthermore, controver-
sy over attempts to close loop
holes might slow down con-
gressional action on tax cuts.
May Take a Chance
Now that the economic out
look has improved, the admin
istration is inclined to take a
chance on fighting for reforms
1t is felt that the economy
could handle substantial re-
forms without much harm.
If the economy takes a turn
for the worse in the next month
or so, however, the administra-
ton may reconsider and again
shove reforms into the back
ground.
Similarly, economic consid-
erations will in large part de-
termine the timing and pack
