House Ends
Recess, Sits
IT Minutes

Members of the House re-
turned from a Today recess
today only long enough to
receive a bill that would end
withholding of income taxes on
salaries and wages.
Although the House met for
only IL minutes, Speaker Nc
Cormack assured reporters that
we're going to be a lot buster
from now on" He noted that
several major bills are about
ready for House action and the
trade expansion bill probably
will come out of the Ways and
Means Committee early in May.
The withholding tax repeal
measure was introduced by
Representative Alger, Republi-
can of Texas. He told the House
he thought it would be a good
idea Ito let people know how
much taxes they are paying" !"
He said the withholding system
sometimes makes taxpayers
forget they are footing the bill
for what he called excessive
governmental spending.
Speaker Mccormack referred
the bill to the Ways and Means
Committee of which Mr.. Alger
is a member.

and willing to register and vote,
but certain obstacles are placed
in his way. One Of these OBJ
stacles is the so-called literacy
test"
Senator Dirksen said the ex-
istence of this obstacle cannot
be denied. He cited the 1861
report of the Civil Rights Com
mission, which told Of the
trouble Negroes have in regis
tering in about 100 Southern
counties.
Senator Dirksen gave the
following as samples of ques-
tons he said are asked by some
voting officials in a literacy
test:
What does create mean.
Who was the Creator? Do you
know how you were born? Are
all people born alike? When
God made you and Eisenhower
did He make both of you The
Same?"
Senator DirkSen said there
we're other questions of like
character which are clearly ir-
relevant to the question OF
I literacy.

Dirksen Holds
Literacy Test
Curb Needed
By j. A. OTEARY
Star Staff Writer

Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen of Illinois today de-
Tended both the constitution
ality and the need for a Federal
law to curb literacy tests for
voters.
He took the floor as the
Senate began the fourth day
of debate on theissue. with
all signs still pointing to a
showdown late this week or
early next.
With Southern opponents
determined to talk as long as
necessary to prevent passage,
the turning point will come
when leaders attempt to in
woke the anti-filibutser rule to
limit debate.
But this rule requires two
thirds of those present, and
informed sources say it will
fail. What Happens next will
depend on the size Of the vote.
Second Try Possible
Democratic Leader Mansfield
has said that, if the vote comes
to two-thirds, he will keep the
fight going and make a second
try at limiting debate. But
if a substantial margin votes
against limiting debate. the
literacy bill will be dropped for
this year.
Some Southerners are hoping
the first test on invoking the
Seldom-ued cloture rule will be
made by Thursday, but the
leaders may wait until early
next week.
Senator DirkSen told his COL
leagues that among the many
gaps, real and fancied, which
have engaged the attention of
Congress and the country is
the voter gap. 1t is quite real.
Cites Rights Repart
In a sense it is a double
gap" Senator Dirksen contin-
ued. There is. for example,
the phantom voter gap. That
is where the vote has been cast
and counted but the voter can
not be found. Then there is
the obstacle voter gap. The
voter is available, ready. able

heading out of the bay on a
trip from Baltimore to Phila-
delphia when she rammed the
Norwegian vessel at the mouth
of the bay, a mile and a half
east southeast of the Chesa-
peake Bay lightship.
A 30-foot portion of the
Hellenic Splendor'S bow was
crumpled by the impact, but the
Tarantel was much more seri-
ouSly damaged. There was a
20-foot hole in her starboard
side and one hold was flooded.
A Navy helicopter rushed to
the scene and removed Second
Officer Hjordy to the hospital
here. Then an 82-foot Coast
Guard patrol boat reached the
Tarantel and removed Is
perSons-the five surviving
passengers and 20 crewmen.
Last night, eight other crew.
men who had been riding two
lifeboatS tied to the Tarantel's
stern were picked up and
brought to safety.
Marine insurance company
representatives spent much of
last night questioning pasSen-
gers and crewmen on details
of the collision.
The impact of the collision
knocked Thomas Mossman, l9-
year-old Tarantel deckhand
from Pittsburgh, out of his bed
onto the deck.
Il was asleep when it
happened" young MoSsman
said, Il went up on deck and
saw this freighter on our star
board. From then on, we were
pretty busy"
Couldn't See a Thing
A passenger, Mrs. Agnes
Knapp, So, of Flushing, N. Y.
said she woke up early-as
usual-yesterday morning, went
up on deck about $50, ano
found it very foggy
couldn't see a thing" She
wasn't hurt.
Another passenger, Carmen
RoSalina Saez of Panama City
said she felt perfectly safe all
the time-I knew there was nc
danger"
The Tarantel crew lowered
one of the ships two lifeboats,
filled with passengers, and
swung the second lifeboat out
on davitS before it became
clear there was no immediate
danger.
Later, the Coast Guard pa
troll boat stood off the Tarantel
for more than an hour while
personnel and great piles of
personal baggage were trans
ferred aboard.

to an effective treaty banning
all nuclear testing in the
circumstances, the United
States has had no choice but
to assume its responsibility to
look to the common defense
and conduct a limited series
of atmospheric nuclear tests"
Mr.. Rusk then added: "The
arms race cannot be ended un-
less and until all major powers
agree to do thiS-and unless
and until the Soviet Union
abandons it's obsession on
secrecy. Secrecy and disarma-
ment are incompatible"
Gives Assurances
Mr.. Rusk assured Americas
friends in CENTO that the
United States would go on
working with them to insure
the defense and stability of the
Middle East against continued
threat of Communist aggres-
sion"
CENTO consists of Pakistan,
Iran, Turkey and Britain. The
United States takes part in its
work as an associate member.
The alliance grew out of the
Baghdad Pact.
Foreign Secretary Lord Home
expressed hope the Allied pow
ers and Russia will reach an
honorable compromise on Ber-
lin based on a live-and-let-live
arrangement.
He warned that Russian ex-
pansionism still threatens the
non Communist powers. He
said that only last week Pre-
niier Khrushchev reaffirmed
that any method will be tried
short of plunging the world into
total war to achieve Communist
aims.
,Pakistan. with the support
of Iran and Turkey, has been
urging the United States to
play a bigger role in Middle
East defense, possibly by
changing its associate member
ship to full membership. These
nations also have been pressing
for an American general to be
commander of the CENTO
planning staff, but neither the
Americans nor the British like
the idea.
In Rawalpindi, Pakistan's
President Mohammed Ayub
Khan said today Pakistan and
Iran must have modern weap-
ons If CENTO is to mean any
thing.
Lets put it on a sound
footing or lets call this treaty
something else" he said in an
interview coinciding with the
opening of the meeting in
London.
Macmillan Sends Message
British Prime Minister Mac
milan sent a message to the
conference saying, 1--WE seek
co-exiStence and cooperation,
but the program of the Com
naunists has done nothing to
remove suspicious"
Foreign Minister Abbas Aram
OF Iran urged the United
States and Britain to pay
greater attention to the eco
nbmic needs of the regional
members of the alliance
mainly by providing more help.
He announced that Iran had
just applied to the United
States for a loan-how big he
did not say-to help pay for
the building of the Iranian-
Turkish railroad.
He said the Iranians were in
urgent need of help in order
to complete their section of the
project.

Federal budget barriers-which
prevent us from attaining
fuller realization of our eco

views were based on these
principles:
First, spending should be
kept to the minimum needed
for performing the necessary
functions of government. In
that way the Government does
not use up resources which
would otherwise be available
for supporting growth Of the
private economy.
Second, the tax system
should be designed to rails,
revenues necessary to meet ex.
penditures, but with a mini.
mum of interference with pri.
vate economic activity and ex.
pansion.

Trade Balance
Deficit Drops
In 3Monfhs

The United States balance Of
payments deficit dropped
sharply to an annual rate Of
about 81 billion in the April
June quarter, the Commerce
Department reported today.
This figure, which is subject
to revision. compared with an
annual rate Of $1.9 billion in
the first three months of 1862.
For the first half Of the year,
the deficit ran at an annual
rate Of just under SIS billion.
For all of 1861, the deficit was
$2.5 billion.
The payments deficit repre-
sents the difference between
the amount that Americans
spend, lend, invest and give
away abroad and the lesser
amount received from foreign
sources. Deficits give foreigners
extra dollars, which they may
use to buy American gold.
Persistent deficits during the
past decade have led to 9
steady drain on United States
gold reserves, which have fallen
to q 23-year low of $16.l bill
lion. The Government Is try
ing to eliminate the deficit sit
uation because continued losses
of gold would threaten the
stability Of the dollar in inter.
national money markets.
Two factors apparently were
paramount in causing the
April-June improvement in the
deficit rate.
First, the Nations trade sur.

the increase in imports wa,
held to $40 million.
