None of the escaped men
was considered dangerous. They
were believed to be unarmed.
Mr.. Frady said all were min
imum custody men.
Dispatcher J. r. O'Brien said

ranging up to life. apparently
left the prison grounds on foot

NEW ORLEANS, April 2
(AP).-The chancery of Roman

Francis Rummel announced to-
day it had sent letters con-
tanning "a paternal admonition''

The general testified that he
had picked blue because it was
acceptable to all the services,
and besides, the color has no
bearing really on exercise
clothing and did not change
any of the features of the
people involved"
However, Gen. Mcnamara
disclosed that he had bucked
another fashion decision to
higher authority, all the way
up to Deputy Secretary Of De-
fense Gilpatric.
That had to do with the de-
cision of a "frock," apparently
for wear by women in the
medical service, because it bore
a "caduceus," the winged staff
with entwined serpeants that
has been a medical insignia
since ancient times.
Gen. Mcnamara indicated
some displeasure at this gar
ment, saying that it looked
like a meatcutter's frock." He
added that the frock decision
was made by Secretary Gill

Kennedy Request
Follows Passage
Of New Tax Bill
By SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

New requests ranging from
hospital construction to more
police-dog teams were sent to
Congress today as part Of an
additional $31.8 million Dis
trict spending proposal.
Originally shelved for lack
of money, the items were re-
vived through the recent pas
sage Of a District tax bill.
The new requests now are
added to the city's basic pro-
posed budget for the fiscal year
beginning July /, which went
to Congress in January. The
total spending figure goes to
$296.2 million.
Today's budget package was
submitted to Congress by PreSi-
dent Kennedy after clearance
by the Budget Bureau.
More School Teachers
The new requests include
more TINA 81 million to hire
211 new school teachers. The
breakdown on the $31, ,796. 900
second budget" shows $21,-
$4,000 for construction projects
and the 1886, 900 balance for
operating items.
The new revenue measure is
expected to bring in an addi-
tional SIC million through the
next fiscal year. The gap be-
tween the revenue amount and
the $31.8 spending figure is
explained by the fact that part
of the cost of some projects
will be financed in later years.

US Joins Reds
In Research
Medical Program
First With Reds
By the Associated Press

The United States will financI
an unprecedented 50 millior
medical research program BY
Polish and American scientists
the United States Public
Health Service said today.
The program will be the first
Of its kind undertaken with an
Iron Curtain country. Some
phrases are scheduled to extenc
over a period Of at least fivt
years.
The agreement was signed
recently after more than a year
of negotiation. 1t provides for
collaboration by research sci
entists of both countries on
possibly as many as 10 labora-
tory projects. Eight would in
volve the United States Ma
tional Institutes of Health, ma
jor research arm of the Public
Health Service, and two would
be service projects. The actual
financing is to be done with
what are known as counterpart
funds.
Based on Surplus Sales
Such funds grow out Of the
sale to Poland Of American sur
plus farm products. The for
eign currencies accumulated in
this way are used for q variety
of purposes, including advance
ment of science in the country
that purchases the surplus
products.
Normally funds Of this kind
are not required to be turned
in to the United States Treas
ury under agreements with the
foreign countries, but in the
Polish agreement any unex-
pected counterpart funds at the
end of 10 years must be paid
into the Treasury in American
dollars.
The fact that this require.
ment was in the agreement
with Poland was credited with
helping swing the new research
program.
The agreement was worked
out between the National Insti-
tutes of Health and the Polish
Ministry Of Health.
The 10 projects would range
from studies of occurrence OF
stomach cancer to functional
organization of the brain ano
causes Of prenatal malforma-
ton in children, but only siS

Plan Visits to Poland
Most of the research in the
six projects for which details
have been worked out will be
done in Poland by Polish
scientists. Collaborating scien-
lists of NTH will make visits to
Poland to check on procedures
and results.
Some of the Polish scientists
also are expected to come to
this country to do laboratory
work at NH.
Public Health service Off
cials said Poland is considered
especially suitable for conduct
ing the laboratory investiga-
tions because of several factors
One is a requirement that an
autopsy be made after every
death.
Another Is that Poland, fol-
unknown reasons, has the
worlds highest incidence ot
stomach cancer. This should
permit establishment Of 9

Algiers and Oran are the storm

are not Algeria.
In the cities with their large
European populations, the hope
Of peace is obscured by a mur-
derous carnival Of violence and
suddent death. In most of the

The countryside-the ''bled"

Senate Leaders Reach Compromise
On Authorizing $l00 Million in Looms

Star staff Writer

Senate Democratic Leader Mansfield said today that
changes in the the United Nations has been functonng
during the past decade have created crisis serious
than its current need for financial help.
In presenting bipartisan compromise giving President
Kennedy discretion to fix the terms of $00 million loan
Evening star., 1962-04-02

according to the staff esti-
mates, the deficit will total $40
billion.
These estimates apparently
were based on the assumption
that the economy this year will
fall substantially short of goals
set by the administration, thus
holding tax revenues far below
administration forecasts.
Stam Estimates Accepted
The estimates were prepared
by the staff of the Senate
House Committee of Internal
Revenue Taxation, headed by
Colin F. STAN. Congress nor
mally places much greater re-
lance on Mr.. STAINS estimates
than on calculations by the
Treasury.
Mr.. STAINS estimates were
made public during q hearing
by the Senate Finance Com
mittee on the administration
tax bill. Many conservatives il
Congress oppose the bill be-
cause they fear it would in
crease budget deficits.
The congressional estimate
assume that spending in fisca
1858, the year starting mex
July /, will total seas billion
as the President predicted
Actually. however, there Is a
good chance that spending will
rise above that level.
Question Of Revenues
The key to the big deficit
forecast Is the staff estimate
that revenues will total only
$8S.7 billion, not $93 billion as
predicted by the administra-
ton.
In calculating this $88.7 bill
lion revenue figure, the con-
gressional experts estimated
that personal income in cal
endar 1862 will total $443 bill
lion and corporate profits $50
billion. The Treasury estimated
personal income at $448 billion
and corporate profits at $56.5
billion.
Personal income and corpo-
rate profits during calendar
1862 govern tax payments in
fiscal 1868.
Mr.. - STAN estimated that
the House-passed tax bill would
cost the Treasury nearly $1.1
billion Of revenue in fiscal
1868, because Of the proposed
tax incentive for business in
vestment.
Therefore, the staff experts
said. the budget deficit next
fiscal year will total $40 billion
not $3.8 billion-if the House
bill becomes law.
