a boy who lies dying and
crying for the freedom we
had guaranteed him.
I felt that the other read
ers of the story must be hav-
ing the same reactions as !
felt and we're wondering
whether protests would
breathe life into the boy or
deter the Communists from
further deliberate brutali-
ties. For the East German
police held machine guns
pointed at the boy for an
hour, daring the Free West
to save him.
Beneath the serenity of
this beautiful country, a joy
for summer vacationerS and
a ski heaven in winter, is an
ever awareness that the
enemy is not far away, is,
indeed, desecrating the peo-
ples's very land in parts.
Their peace, they know, may
be snatched away at any
time, either by war or nego-
tiation. The next year or so
will tell the tale.
We had travelled by car
from Bonn to Bad NeuStadt,

to visit old friends dwelling

people have suffered over
many generations.
Our friends were the
widows of brothers, both OF
whom had fought for their

fought the German Commu-

Senate leaders may have to
accept with the administra-
tion's tax revision bill a rider
authorizing a private pension
plan for Self-employed persons,
it was reliably reported today.
They have not ruled out en-
tirely the possibility of tabling
the rider with a promise to its
supporters that it would be
considered separately after the
tax bill is passed.
But when the Senate re-
cessed last night until Tues
day. all indications were that
Democratic leaders did not
have the votes to table. If
they could not table the ques-
ton when raised, ably
wv e dne day, obviously they
would not be able to defeat it
Would Seek Changes
In that situation it is ex.
pected they would try to modi.
fly the retirement plan to make
it as acceptable as possible to
the administration.
One report was that they
would try to postpone the ef-
fective date, now fixed as tax
able years beginning after De-
cember 81, 1861.
The retirement proposal, al
ready passed by the House as
a separate bill, woud allow
self-employed persons to take
a tax deduction of up to 81, ,750
year if they set aside $2,500
during the year to finance
their own retirement.
The self-employed individual
or partnership would have to
set up a qualified retirement
plan. just as some corporations
do now for their employees, and
the Senate bill requires that if
a self-employed person takes
advantage of it, he must in
clude his employees.
More than two-thirds of the
Senators are believed to be
ready to vote for the private
retirement amendment. Despite
this strong support, there is a
small but determined group ex-

Senator Erwin of North
Carolina also praised Mr..
Murphy, while Senators Mundt
of South Dakota and Curtis
of Nebraska, Republicans, in
sisted the evidence indicated
that Estes had been favored.
Favoritism Charged
Senator Mundt listed five
indications of favoritism to
counter the points made by
Senator Muskie. Among them
he said was the failure of the
department to act on its own
investigative findings and can
eel the cotton allotments
forthwith. Even into April
after Estes was arrested, thG

Estes for some reason had
a magic wand down there,
Senator Mundt said.
Mr.. Murphy said he dis
greed substantial with Senator
Mundt's views of the facts and

cluSions.
"I wish to enter a general
dissent" he concluded.
Senator Mcclellan reserved
his own views. But he told the
subcommittee:
"I think it may not turn
out that all the scandals that
some expected and some hoped
for" will be disclosed by the
investigation. But he ex-
pressed the hope that some
good would come from it in

S2F planes are essentially
anti-submarine aircraft, pow
cred by two engines and able
to carry bombs or depth
charges. Their search equip
ment includes fairly long
range radar, useful for spot
ting ships Or surfaced sub
marines. In addition, the SF2
"tracker" is equipped with
magnetic detection gear for
pinpointing the location of q
submarine after the general
area has been determined
The White House statement
did not say what type of weap-
ons were used by the two ships.
Nor did it describe the ships,
other than to say they were
small naval vessels believed 20
be Cuban"
| This latter phrase could have
been prompted by usual diplo-
matte caution or by doubt as
to nationality. Was there the
possibility the ships could have
been from another Red bloc
country?
The point at which the at
tack occurred was about 80 air
miles from Key West, where
the S2F had taken off from the
Boca Chica Naval Air Station

The United States has shown
how close it is watching the
sea lanes to Cuba.
1t let that be known yeSter-
day when the White House an
nounced that a Navy plane was
fired on by naval vessels Is
miles from Cuba.
The White House also an
nounced that in the future, il
any United States aircraft ol
ships are fired on while in oil
over international water they
should employ all means nec-
essary for their own protec.
ton"
The language of the White
House statement made evidenj
the intention to shoot back il
fired upon-a policy already
made applicable to similar sit
uations involving Russian anc
Red Chinese attacks on United
States aircraft.
However, circumstances o.
the incident off Cuba left oper
some questions not answered
officially.
The S2F Grumman "tracker
plane which was fired upor
normally carries no defensive
armament such as machine
guns or missiles. How ther
could such a plane reply Il
attack?
There were two possibilities
Machine guns or small-calibel
cannon might be installed. Of
fighter escort might be pro-
vided.
Because Cuba is less thar
100 miles from Florida, escort
ing planes with land-basec
fighters would be simple. Car
rier-baSed aircraft could pro-
vide similar protection.

SeIf-EmpIoyed Pension
May Be Tax Bill Feature

pected to speak at length in
an effort to prevent its adop-
ton with the tax bill. '.--
Leaders hope to finish the
tax bill by next Friday, but the
debate could go into the fol-
lowing week.
Friends of the administra-
tion's tax bill say they do not
know whether inclusion of the
private retirement plan would
subject the tax bill to a pos
sible veto. Supporters of the
retirement amendment are
counting on a veto being dis
couraged by the Presidents de-
sire to see the 2 per cent in
vestment ere dit, now in the
bill. enacted into law as. q
stimulant to business expan-
sion.
They have thus far rejected
the suggestion to let the re-
tirement plan move separately
believing it has far more
chance of becoming law if IL
is tied to the tax bill.
i 80 Amendments
There are at least 80 amend
ments still pending. but many
of them may not be called up.
Both houses of Congress are
in recess until Tuesday, and
many m m b bers have gone
home for a brief rest before
beginning a drive to complete
President Kennedy's legislative
program by the end of Sep
tember.
In addition to the tax bill,
one or both houses still must
act on the reciprocal trade bill,
the United Nations bond issue,
the foreign aid appropriation,
the postal rate increases, Fed
eral pay raise legislation and q
variety of other bills.
One additional issue is the
extension Of temporary uAem-
ployment compensation bene-
fits for idle workers who have
exhausted their regular bene-
fits. The House Ways and
Means mmittee rejected
such a bill by a one-vote mar
gin, which suggested possible
efforts to revive it before ad-
journment. ~

RALPH McGILL

A few years ago in a dis
cussion with an old-timer in
the textile mills of West
Point, Georgia and Alabama
(the line runs through the
city,, he talked of the days
of child labor. He was a
young man in that time. His
job was largely that of pa
trolling the rows Of looms to
keep the children awake.
Boys and girls as young as
eight and 10 years of age
worked IL and IA hours each
day. Each afternoon found
many Of them exhausted and
falling asleep at their ma
chimes. He carried, he said. a
long pole with a leather strap
on the end of it. He would
flick this across the shoulders
or back of the weary, sleep
ing child. Some men who held
similar jobs were, he said,
mean" and would strike the
children hard blows.

In the sweat-shop clothing
factories of the East, Sunday
was a work day. IF you can't
show up on Sunday. don't

order. The hours were what
never the employer said they

m odity. But those who
labored were.

Senate Votes
S11 Billion in
Agency Funds

An $11.7 billion appropria-
tions bill for more than a score
of independent Government
agencies was passed by the
Senate IS to S last night.
All attempts to cut appropri-
ations in the bill were rejected.
Senator Young, Democrat of
Ohio, called the civil defense
program the possible beginning
of a "boundless boondoggle"
which offers only "a cruel illu-
sion of security" and "only
psychological pablum for a
frightened and bewildered pub
lie"
But the Senate voted, SO tc
IA, to reject his amendment tc
strike from a $185 million civil
defense appropriation $93.S
million earmarked for surveys,
markings and stocking and to
providing fall-out shelters in
Government buildings.
Rejected 66-4 was an amend
ment by Senator Proxmire.
Democrat of Wisconsin, to cut
the $3.7 billion National Aero
nauticS and Space Administra-
ton appropriation by $1O5 mil
lion.
VA Cut Defeated
Senator Proxmire also was
defeated, 81 to 81, on a pro-
posal to cut So million from the
Veterans Administration budget
for hospital facilities and med
ical and prosthetic research.
The Senate not only refused
to reduce the bill, but accepted
an amendment by Senator
Magnuson, Democrat of Wash
ington. to add So, 8,287 900 to the
bill for construction of a Fed
eral building at Richland.
Washington
Senator Douglas. Democrat
of Illinois, had some caustic re-
marks on this action by Senator
Magnuson, the floor manager
of the bill, and of another item
approved by the Appropriations
Committee of $5,756,000 for a
courthouse and Federal office
building at Billings. Mont.
Noting that Montana Is the
home State of Senator Mans
field, the Majority Leader. Sen
ator Douglas observed that
Federal courthouses in Mon
tana seem to be as thick as
raisins in a plum pudding"
Copter Subsidy Increased

million to $40 million subsidy
allowances for helicopter lines

lion more than the house voted
flor the various agencies, making
the bills total 50 billion higher

iof Iowa, offered a motion to re.
commit the measure with in.
structions to the Appropriation
Committee to cut it by $27i

This will acknowledge and
thank you for your letter of May
23rd regarding the removal of the
five 4O-ft yoles along King Street
in the vicinity of Government
House in Christiansted.
We fully appreciate the reasons
motivating your request in order
that you be full informed of the
pertinent facts we would advise
you as follows:
The outside plant both in ST
Thomas and st. Croix has been de-
signed from the viewpoint. of
sound economic engineering based
on joint usage Of new poles by our
selves and Vicorp thereby main
tanning investment, and therefore
rate, at a reasonable level
From this angle aerial construc-
ton and joint usage is the proper
and correct solution.
The change to underground con-
struction requires that we open
and trench the sidewalk, place con-
duit, provide additional cable, ex-
ira cable spices and install addi-
tional guys to support the poles
either side of the underground sec
ton. In the same way Vicorp must
also make provision for special
underground cable, conduit, etc. to
meet the new situation.
The work involved therefore
could, apart from the additional
expenditure for both entities, de-
lay for a variable period the plac-
ing in service of the automatic
plant in Christiansted which
would, of course, be very unde-
sirable.
The matter was discussed last
Friday with Governor Paiewonsky
who, while expressing understand
ing Of our position, is OF the opin-
ion that the poles should be re-
moved in order to preserve the APP
nearance of Government House
However, in view of the time
factor involved and to reduce de-
lays to a minimum, the Governor
agreed that the present ~construe-
ton be permitted to 60 ahead on
lie basis that we undertake to
make the required notifications
once the automatic plant is in ser
vice.
