Twasn't An Apple But An Apricot That Eve Gave Adam, Says Botanist

LONDON R = A prominent British botanist said today Eve didn't give Adam an apple, de claring, Tt was more probably an apricot
 There were no apples in Meso- potamia then said pr. Tatam Whitehead. 'The only fruit were apricots and quinces.
 He said most people would agree that apricots were more tempting than quinces.
 Mesopotamia, the region be- tween the lower Tigris and Flu pirates rivers, was the site of the Garden of Eden, according to tra- dition.
 pr. Austin Farrer, an authority on church history, took issue with Dr. Whitehead
 The apple has become sym bol, said Dr. Farrer. "The april cot is not acceptable
 But the Anglican Bishop of Lon don, pr. Robert Stopford, com mented:

US. Infantrymen Begin Withdrawal from Thailand

BANGKOK, Thailand R = The withdrawal of 2,3o0 US. combat infantrymen began Saturday with departure of an advance party of 75 officers and men from the northeast military center of Korat.
 The Army men came here in May as part of the military buildup after Communist military gains in neighboring Laos approa ac h d Thailand. But since the end of fighting in Laos, US. forces have been leaving in phases. A Marine contingent of 1900 men left in July.
 The main body of Army men will start leaving Tuesday in a massive airlift from Korat.

Communist Party Divided In Two During Shakeup

MOSCOW LR - A drastic shake up of Soviet party and govern ment organs Saturday divided tht Soviet Unions Communist worle
 in two = City Communists and Country Communists.
 The object: To meet Premier Khrushchev's demands for more goods and more crops.
 The Communist party's Central Committee. ending a Week-long meeting in the kremlin on Friday, ordered the sweeping measures 10 .eorreet serious shortcomings m the economy.
 A group of rising party leaders, of the generation just after Khrushchev's, emerged from the sessions as the men to make the program work.
 The top-to-bottom reshuffling. one of the most thorough in Soviet history, aims also at leveling out differences between city workers and peasants.
 Ever since the beginning of the revolution against the old Czarist regime. the workers who did most of the fighting have had the best of it.
 By last year, the Soviet Union, once well above 80 per cent agri- cultural, had moved by a fraction of per cent to the industrial side and made more city workers than farmers.
 Under the new program se- oarate party agricultural organiza- ton split will extend from the kremlln to the farthest outposts.Z
 The aim is to permit those party members primarily concerned with farming to concentrate entirely in that field to get reluctant farmers 10 work harder and try to match European and American produc- ton.
 Party members concerned with industry and these are almost entirely in the cities - will occupy themselves with industrial and building affairs.
 The reorganization struck some Western observers as poor sec ond choice forced upon the gov ernment and party leaders as an to much-needed capital investment program that has been made impossible by the demands of space rockets and na- tional defense.

Justice Brennan Says Government Whittling Away Rights of Individual

PHILADELPHIA R = Justice William Brennan Jr. of the US. Supreme Court said Saturday, "the need for vigilance to prevent gov ernment from whiting away the rights of the individual was never greater.
 He said that today, as rarely before, case after case comes to our court which finds the indi- vidual battling to vindicate claim under the bill of rights against the powers of government, federal and state.''
 Justice Brennan, speaking at the 42nd annual meeting of the Ma tional Council for the Social Studies, said he shared the con- cern of the council over "the high school students and graduates to appreciate fully the meaning of our basic liberties.'
 Brennan said that sit is indisput- able that government, at all levels affects corresponding sectors o1 our lives.
 More people work for the gov. ernment and receive benefits from the government, than ever before and this interdependence is alWay increasing

Dean Francis Keppcl
 Appointed United States Commissioner of Education

HYANNIS PORT. Mass. R - Dean Francis Keppel of the liar yard Graduate School of Eduea- tion received a Presidential ap- pointment Saturday as United States Commissioner of Education.
 The position has been vacant four months. It pays S20,ooo year.
 Dr. Sterling McMurrin gave lt up and went back 10 the unlver- sity of Utah. He was unhappy in the job and the administration found it difficult to find anyone else willing to step into 1t.
 McMurrin complained that the Office of Education. and agency of the Department of Health, Edu= cation and Welfare, was afflicted with red tape. bureaucratic prob lens and skinny support from Congress.
 Keppel. 46, has been Education Dean at Harvard University since l948.
 William Carr, Executive Secre- tary of the National Education Assn, issued a statement in Wash Ington pralslng the appointment.
 He said Keppel is fully com mitted to a sound program of national school legislation as for mulated by President Kennedv's 1860 educational task force, of which he is a member. '
 The task force proposed ex- oenditure of S2.3 billion annually in federal aid to education.

Congress Leaders Given PreyieW of Tax Gut Proposal

WASHINGTON tR - The ad= ministration is giving congressional leaders a preview showing of a double-feature tax proposal 10 test it's chances in the next ses- sion.
 The tax package, it was learned Friday, would be presented by President Kennedy as single bill to be enacted in 1863 but would take effect in two steps:
 l. A substantial but partial tax c. to be effective retroactivelv to Jan. l. 1863.
 2. A second stage to become effective Jan l, 1864 which would include both further re- duetion and the tax revisions and loophole plugging wanted by Ken nedy.
 By joining the two steps in one blH,.eVen the initial tax cut would not take effect until the reforms were written into aw.Yet the economy would have the extra fuel of a years ia. reduction before the revlsions came into force.
 The revisions would be design ed to at least partly offset revenue losses of the tax reductions.
 The tWo-step proposal is de signed apparently as a compromise of doubts that combined tax overhaul and cut could. be ham, mered out in one session of Con- gress and of demands for reduc- tion next year even without revisions.
 The amount of the tax cuts and the type of revisions under con- sideration remain a secret.. Ken nedy's Labor Management Ad visory Committee recommended $10-billion reduction.

LOS ANGELES R = A bandit who held up service station early Saturday morning failed to impress two patrons.
 "It's only a toy gun," said John Viarmontes, 21.
 The bandit fired a shot into the ground to prove it.
 ''They're only blanks, said Hec- tor Gomez, 35.
 He was wrong.
 The bandit shot him in the left thigh = with a real gun and a real bullet and escaped, un- molested, with $6O in the stations receipts. Gomez was treated for a minor flesh wound.

Presidents Promise of Tax Relief
Ignores q Number of Fiscal Facts

I'm the eight years, fiscal
1854 through 1861, the level

changed but the nom defense
budget in that time increased

as a trust fund and there
fore no longer counted in
general budget totals.
again when fiscal year
1862 closed on June 80 last,
budget expenditures had
risen $6.l53,0 100000 above
l96l-$3,575, 100000 for ma
tional defense and $2,678,-
100000 for non defense"
And who has been in power
in Congress for practically all
of the last 80 yearsP Who has
been in the majority in Con-
gress In the last eight years?
In both cases 1t is the Demo-
cratic Party. And who holds
the purse strings? Not the
President, but the Congress.
The President tried to shift
the blame for the big deficits
to the preceding administra-
ton, but Mr.. Cannon's speech
tells why this can't be so.
Mr.. Kennedy now promises
as he has done in many
speeches before - to hold
down the expenses of gov
eminent. He said last Fri
day night:
II can tell you now that
the total of all other expendi-
lures combined (besides de-
fenSe) will be held at APP
proximately its current level"
But the trouble with that
promise is that current ex-
penses are not to be reduced
and the tax revenues, of
course, will not overcome the
deficits. The promise of a top
to bottom" tax reduction
makes the headlines, but
business cannot expand and

A Question of Economic Health

course, would absorb most of
the benefits Of tax reduction.
The newspaper strikes in
New York and Cleveland are
significant examples Of the
system of extortion prac-
ticed by the labor-union mon
opoly in industries generally.
The administration refuses to
curb these excuses, though it
does interfere with the
making of proper prices and
profits, as happened in the
steel industry earlier this
year.
The President expects the
tax reduction to produce a
boom in consumer spending.
In his speech he revealed that
consumers are still spending
between 80 and "a per cent
Of their after-tax income, as
they have every year since
1880" But he declares that
the "after-tax income could
and should be greater" This
is the erroneous philosophy
of New Deal days, and it never
solved the problem Of big
unemployment.
The illness Of the Ameri-
can economy has been due
largely to the failure of
business to expand its plant
and equipment. The main
reason is the profit squeeze"
There cannot be any sub
stantial expansion or sta
bility Of prices unless the
Government stops tampering
with the law of supply and
demand in price-making and
opens its eyes to labor union
monopoly that is choking the
free-enterprise economy on
the cost side.
Politics really rules the day
and, as long as the admin
istration in power accepts big
campaign funds from labor
unions, special privilege will
persist. The American bust
nesSman will see his tax re-
auctions eaten up by higher
wage costs while at the same
time the Government perse-
cutes and proSecutes industry
when it seeks to get a fair
price and a fair profit. This
ailment will not be cured by
Government spending and
perennial deficits. All this
can only bring initiation and
a drop in the purchasing
power of the dollar.

Battle Of the Bulge Recalled in Urging
First Armed Services Raise Since 1853

Eighteen years ago this
month a pre-Christmas sea-
son very different from our
present one lay upon the &C.
casionally bloody SHOWS
along the Belgian-German
frontier.
In an Army jeep two men
were going back from the
front toward a warm, lighted,
headquarters in Spa in Bel
GUM, a little city not far
from a town which was
shortly to become famous in
history - Bastogne - in an
action that would be called
the Battle Of the Bulge.
/ was one Of the two men
In the jeep; the other was a
battalion commander from a
great division, the LIST Infan-
try, who had had a little too
much combat even for a vet
eran Of the peerless, the in
comparable, big Red l." He
was being sent rearward, I'M
officially, to what was called
a rest billet" AS a war cor
respondent I was, on this oc-
casion. his companion.
AS we churned along in the
blasts Of bone-chilling wind
that came down from the
darkening hills we passed
men sinking down for the on
coming night into foxholes
which had been drilled into
the frozen terrain. The tic
that was never long absent
from the majors wasted eyes
caused him to blink at sud-
den speed. He turned from
the view along the road and
said to me: God pity the
doughs infantrymen) on a
night like thisl"
I do not know what hap

night, though I can guess
how long a night 1t was be-

ing my friend, the major -
died somewhere in that crazy
storm of fire and shell which
was climaXed at last in the
Siege of Bastogne.
All this is of the past but
1t has a purpose in the pres
ent and future. And most
specifically 1t has a purpose
in this column.
One of the 40-odd bills
that the Defense Department
will propose to the new Con-
gress which opens in a few
weeks would grant to the
members Of our armed serv-
ices their first pay raise since
1858. The civilian employees
of the Government have, Of
course, done a great deal bet
ter. Their raises seem to
come almost automatically,
as they have come since 1858
- and before.
The plain truth is that
our military men are wretch
edly underpaid, certainly rel
alive to what is handed out
so readily to the civil service
civilians. Some of these ia
vored civilians who work I'M
der military officers, in the
Pentagon and elsewhere, re-
ceive far more than the cap
tains, the majors, the colo
nels and so on who must di-
rect the efforts Of these sup
posed subordinates.
Moreover. these, the civil
ians, are protected by dozens
of civil service regulations
and built-in privileges. They
may or may not obey orders
always. If they don't it is
said Of them that perhaps
they have psychological
problems, domestic difficult
ties, or something. And it is
left at that; for these are
the untouchables.
The military Joes, howev-
er, are touchable, indeed.
They simply obey their Or
