Senator Kefauver. Democrat
of Tennessee, served notice to-
day he will continue the fight
for Government ownership of
the communications satellite
system, with private operation
permitted under leasing ar
rangements.
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon, also made it clear this
will continue to be his position
when the Senate resumes de-
bate on the controversial issue
tomorrow.
These two Democrats led a
five-day filibuster last month
against taking up the admin
istration's bill to create a pri-
vate corporation to establish
this new field of communica-
ton. Their statements today
indicated the Senate is in for
another long fight when the
bill comes back from the

Gross Makes Plea
The committee ended It's
hearings today after receiving
a plea to restore language that
was in the original administra-
ton bill recognizing a construc-
tive role for the United Nations
in establishing a satellite COM

The appeal was made by Err

like a forlorn plea Tor imme-

The Associated Press said
Mr.. Kennedy told the AFL-CIO

the idea of proposing tax cuts
this year, because OF Congress
sional opposition.
Decision Soon
But Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger said today he thinks
the President is nearing a de-
cision on the tax question but
said he could not forecast ex-
actly when it would be made.
He added that he did not ex-
pect a decision before next
week, but did not want to rule
out the possibility of earlier
action.
Mr.. Kennedy intends to pro-
pose tax reductions and re-
forms for enactment next
year, retroactive to January !,
1868. Tentative plans call for
rate reductions for corporations
and in all brackets of individ-
ual income. with the aim OF
shaking off the economy's
sluggishness.

Tax Cut Fades

Developments yesterday piled
up evidence that chances for
emergency tax cuts to stimulate

Commerce Secretary Hodges,
who had advocated immediate
tax reductions, reported ly
failed to bring up the issue at

omission was interpreted to
mean that the administration

dead letter.
Labor Secretary Goldberg. ir

pUrtedly also steered clear Of
talking about emergency ta1
cuts. He limited himself most.
ly-- to analyzing unemployment
and discussing the need fol

because nigh taxes nave caused
chronic slackness in the econ
omy.
While the economic commit
tee held its open hearing. the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee concluded two weeks OF
closed sessions on the economic
outlook and taxes with sched-
uled testimony by Walter w,
Heller, chairman Of President
Kennedy's Council of Economic
Advisors and William McChes-
ney Martin, jr.. chairman OF
the Federal Reserve Board.
Both sets Of hearings were
conducted in the context Of
vanishing hopes for emergency
tax cuts this year and rising
debate over tight and easy
money policies.
Testifying before the Eco
nomic Committee were Otto
Eckstein of Harvard University
Paul w. McCracken Of the
University of Michigan and
Joseph A. Pechman Of the
Brookings Institution.
Disagreeing with advocates
of easy money, they maintained
generally that the Federal Re-
serves monetary policies have
not been too tight and have not
caused the economy's slow
down. They warned against
using easy money as a substi-
tute for tax cuts to stimulate
the economy.
Economists Gloomy
All three economists were
gloomy about the economy''
performance in recent years
and Mr.. McCracken said thu
current recovery from the 1860
81 recession has been the weak
est in four decades and prob
ably one of the poorest il
American history.
While not actually predicting
a recession. they warned tina
failure to cut taxes would doom
the economy to chronic slug

cession before cutting taxes

benefits of tax reductions, the,

Tax cut proposals by tn
three economists ranged from

He pointed out that Arling-

would be $4,000 a mile, MIR.
