By Sudden Dive

ATLANTA, Dec. is (AP-

abruptly sent his jet liner into
a steep dive to avoid a possible
collision yesterday with an Air
Force jet bomber near Lake
Charles, La.
Ralph McGill, publisher Of
the Atlanta Constitution, was
among the "a passengers on the
airliner. He said passengers
praised the pilot, Capt. Sam
Sanform, for his quick response

because they were still wearing
seat belts when the plane went
into its sudden dive about
3 pm.
The plane, a Boeing 720. was
20 minutes out of Houston.
Tex, at about $4,000 feet when
the pilot took evasive action to
avoid what appeared to be a
BAT heading directly for it,
| passengers reported.

Representative Mills, Demo
crat of Arkansas, stirred VI
tax debate earlier this week.
Mr.. Mills, chairman of tn,
tax-writing House Ways ant
Means Committee, said h
doubted the urgency of cut
ting taxes in 1868, because NJ
recession is imminent. He als'
said tax reforms should come
close to offsetting revenue los
ses from tax cuts for the SAKE
of preventing big deficits.
The President. who hac
maintained that he and Mr.
Mills are not so far apart
took pains to answer severaI
of the powerful Congressman
points and to emphasize broad
areas of agreement.
Mr.. Kennedy said he was mo-
talking about a 'quickie' OF
temporary tax cut, which
would be more appropriate i
a recession were imminent.
Rather, he said, it is neces
sary to ease the long-tern
drag" of high taxes on tn
economy.
He also maintained that tn
budget deficit resulting from
his tax program would no
be inflationary and would no
hamper efforts to eliminate
the deficit in the United State
balance of payments.

Officials passed word that
Mr.. Bowles' statement had been
approved by President Ken
nedy. They said 1t was a
declaration of the United States
position on the big Central
African country.
Mr.. Bowles characterized the
present central government in
the Congo, head by Prime Min
lister Adoula, as moderate ma

1t has acted "decisively

perfect"
The Presidents speech was
received politely, but without
signs of great enthusiasm by
the all-male audience of bust
nessmen and bankers. The only
applause was for his remarks
about the need to hold down
Federal spending. But the au-
dience warmed UP during the
question and-answer period
after the speech.
Mr.. Kennedy made these ad-
ditional points:
Easier monetary policies by
the Federal Reserve Board
might not help much to stim-
ulate the economy, and he would
accelerate the flow of capital to
foreign countries, with conse-
quent damage to the United
States balance of payments.
Most economic indicators are
rising currently, and further
economic expansion is likely in
the January-March quarter of
1868.
Labor TemptatiOn
Failure to stimulate long
term economic growth would
tempt labor to resist automa-
ton and fight for reduction of
the work week to IS hours, in
hopes Of increasing employ
ment, and would inspire price
increases by industry in an ef-
fort to boost profits.

Russian manpower in Cuba Il

Red Bloc Ships
Entering Cuba
Placed al 30
By the Associated Press


Thirty Soviet-bloc ships and
20 non-Communist vessels have
steamed into Cuban ports since
the United States arms block
ade was lifted November 20,
according to information today.
The figures indicate the VOL
ume Of shipping has not
reached the level which existed
before the blockade was i'm
posed October "a.
Last August, SO Soviet-bloc
vessels and SO nonbloc ships
put into Cuban ports. In Sep
TENDER the totals were 81 bloc
and 81 nonbloc ships.
Four Passenger Ships
OF the vessels operating
under Soviet-bloc control since
the blockade was lifted 10 were
dry cargo carriers, four were
passenger ships, seven were
tankers and one was a refriger-
ator ship.
Ships operating under nom
Communist flags after the
blockade were five tankers and
Is dry cargo vessels.
The United States keeps a
close check on shipping to Cuba
as a gauge of the volume of
goods flowing to the island I'M
der the Castro regime-as well
as for military reasons.
President Kennedy told his
news conference Wednesday
that the United States will have
ready in about two weeks new
regulations applying to Cuban
shipping. 1t is understood that
the regulations will impose
penalties on non-Communist
shipping in the Cuban trade,
primarily by denying United
States cargoes to the vessels.
IS Pass Blockade
The Navy disclosed yesterday
that it allowed IS ships-48 of
them Communist or Communist
chartered-to pass through its
almost month-long arms block
ade.
Nonbloc vessels were seven
merchantmen of Greece, Brit
ain, Italy and Spain.
A compilation released by the
Navy showed that 10 of the
Communist ships entering Cuba
during the blockade were Rus
sian. The other six flew the
flags of Czechoslovakia, Poland,
Yugoslavia and Cuba.
The % Communist chartered
vessels were of these nations:
Sweden Z, Greece S, Norway
4, Britain 2, and one each from
Denmark, Belgium, The Meth

The Post Office Department

himself on details.
Mr.. Kennedy was firm on
several principles:
/. Congress should cut taxes
early in 1868, and the reduc-
tons should become effective
in 1868. He did not reiterate
his previous pledge to propose
tax cuts retroactive to January,
/, 1868.
2. Tax reforms to improve
equity and simplicity must be
enacted. Tax 'loopholes" distort
the economy, he said. Mr.. Ken
nedy indicated, however, that
tax reform has a lower priority
than tax reduction. He said the
administration does not want
to delay or kill tax cuts by
waging a full-scale battle for
general reform of the tax
