Grond Jury to Seek

as witnesses to all or part Of
the alleged scuffle. Mr.. Glib
bons and Berniece Heffner, the
lawyer said, did not see it.
Following Events
They were called as persons
who had knowledge of events
that followed the alleged slug
ging, he said. Mr.. Gibbons, q
close associate of Mr.. Hoffa
went to see Mr.. Barron later.
In seeking to quash the sub

cident and would be questioned
by the grand jury along thu
same lines.
Mr.. Alder said the Govern.
ment had indicated in pres,
releases that the grand jury
investigation was designed tc
obtain indictments against
each Of the seven witnesses.
The lawyer said they would
be questioned by the jury Gin
the hope that they will
furnish the evidence necessary
for the return of an indict-
ment charging them with per-
jury"
He said, in papers filed with
the court. that the seven per-
sons called to testify had q
constitutional right not to be
compelled to be witnesses
against themselves.
Mr.. Alder said that the legal
move was aimed at blocking
calling of the witnesses by the
grand jury as well as prevent
ing them from being forced to
testify against themselves.
Fifth Amendment Possibility
Presumably, witnesses who
thought their testimony might
incriminate them could assert
the Fifth Amendment when
questions are asked, but Mr..
Alder did not mention this.
In such situations, the Gov
eminent occasionally has de-
cided to grant immunity from
prosecution to key witnesses.
When this has been done, they
then can be compelled to tes-
tify.
Principal Assistant United
States Attorney Charles T.
Duncan said conflicting &C.
counts by Mr.. Barron and
others present at the alleged
scuffle prompted the grand jury
investigation.
Mr.. Allder's motion to quash
subpoenas of the seven wit
nesses will be heard at $3.50
am. Monday by District Court
Judge Charles F. Mclaughlin,
according to the clerks office.
The motion must be heard
then if it is to be considered
before the time that the wit
nesses are to appear. Some
witnesses were called for Mon
day and some for Tuesday.
Mr.. Duncan said proceedings
before the grand jury would be
handled by Assistant United
States Attorney Edmond T.
DAILY, who heads the prosecu-
tors office at Municipal Court.
Papers filed at District Court
did not indicate whether Mr..
Hoffa and Mr.. Barron also have
been called to testify before the
grand jury investigating their
alleged Scuffle.
However, Mr.. Duncan said
that everyone who has rele-
want knowledge" Of the Hoffa-
Barron incident could be ex-
pected" to be summoned to ap-
pear before the grand jury.

Mr.. Halleck and Senator

outburst of dissenting state

for a public airing the split

This kind of reaction, they
felt, would destroy the effec-

Mr.. Miller predicted 10 days

was to advance affirmative

proposals.
But the Republican leaders

Kennedy Calls for An Early Gut
 In Individual and Corporation Taxes

NEW YORK LP President Kennedy replied to congressional critic of his 1863 tax cut plan by arguing that lower taxes, tied to curbs on rising federal spending offer the best chance of producing future budget surpluses.
 Going before a black-tie audience of business leaders. Kennedy Fri day night called for an early cut in both individual and corpora tion income taxes without say ing just how soon he would want the reductions to become effective. Omission of his earlier Jan. tar get date seemed calculated.
 The chief executive also urged a cut large enough ito do the job required - to boost purchasing, production, employment, invest ment and economic growth in general. Again, he was not specific, saying he would rather wait until next month to give details.
 We Can Afford 10 Cut Taxes
 Addressing some 5000 members and guests of the Economic Club of New York, Kennedy declared: ''This nation can afford to reduce taxes we can afford a tenn porary deficit = but we cannot afford to do nothing
 In this fashion, he took direct issue with those congressional con- servatives of both patries who contend that tax reduction next year would lead to a dangerously

Just I'll years ago the United States brought to an as-yet unsur- passed apex the qualification of the rights of men in a free society, an apex toward which the English speaking people had been working for 500 years.
 With adoption of the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, which we now call the Bill of Rights. the last of the former colonies joined of the United States
 The character of nation had been established. The yeast which had been working since the Magma Charter of l5l2 had produced loaf
 The French followed IS years later, and since then the ripp1es of expanding freedom have touched men everywhere.
 The goals of the Bill of Rights, in written constitution such as no nation had before and few have achieved since, have not all been attained. Some will not be until man himself achieves an in- teileetual and moral level for which he is still only reaching. But they remain, revered though sometimes disputed, part of the American code not only at home but also abroad, and a matter of national character and pride.
 They also represented, in 1791, an effort to establish compromises, written compromises, under which men would submit their lesser in- terests to the common good with out diminishing their own innate dignity
 A relatively few years later there was a great dispute over the of these things, and the community of the whole was threatened. The great federation, and the vastly greater future of a human ideal, were preserved only through great travail.
 But they were preserved The Bill of Rights not only stands, but also, 10 years ago, it was very largely incorporated among the goals of a still larger community of men, the United Nations.

Scanning of Venus May Unravel Many Sought Secrets

WASHINGTON R - Mariner ,. a miracle of US. space science, has given man his first close look at another planet
 For 42 minutes Friday it scanned Venus, flashing back 36 million miles the information that may un- ravel the secrets of the Yelled Lady of the Universe.
 It was an incredible feat and excited scientists reioieed.
 The historic flybv came at 3 pm. after 109-day, 132 million mile journey which began at a Cape Canaveral, Fla, launching pad.
 2l.l000 Miles from Venus
 At it's nearest approach to Venus, the space laboratory was 21.100 miles from the planet, relatively at it's doorstep.
 Special monitoring devices be- gan to probe the cloud=covered surface at 1s55 pm. and were switched off at 2:37 pm.
 Then the craft was speeding toward the sun, after having come closer 10 the planet than any ether space vehicle.
 Mariner is expected to send periodic information about inter- planetary space from as far out as 72 million miles from the earth. That's twice the distance it was from earth Friday after a long journey plagued by frequent troubles and even cliff-hanging
