By Tax Revolt

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 81
(AP) Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
feller's plan to raise motor We
hicle registration fees by S48
million appeared doomed today
as rebellion spread among Re-
publican legislators.
Another upstate Senator
Joined the growing ranks of re-
volt, leaving Gov. Rockefeller
without enough pledged votes
to pass the fee increase as the
Republican Governor outlined
lit.
He says the State needs the
money to help finance a $500
million increase in spending in
cluded in the record $2.9 billion
budget he submitted to the
G. Q. P.-controlled Legislature
yesterday for the fiscal year
beginning April l.
Under the Governors pro-
Dosal, the minimum charge for
passenger car registration
would rise from the present
Il SO to $50, END rnci~'"''-',- -
largest cars would cost $45. In
termediate rates wouI4 - 49,
and $35.
Senator George E. Paine,
Willsboro Republican, declared
today he is unalterably opposed
to the plan. He said it is mo
different than raising taxes"
and would place an unfair bur-
den on owners of large cars.
Earlier, the solidly Republi-
can five member legislative
delegation from Onondaga
County-including two Sena-
tors-voiced opposition.
Mr.. Paine's statement left
the Governor with one less
than the constitutional major
ity of 80 Republican votes he
would need to pass the plan
over solid opposition declared
by the Senate's Democratic
minority.
The Democrats charged that
the proposal was a violation of
Gov. Rockefeller's promise to
hold the tax line.
Gov. Rockefeller scheduled
direct appeal tonight to the
taxpayers for support Of his
plan. His television broadcast,
to originate in New York City,
will be carried later by sta
tions throughout the State.

The White House had no
comment on Senator Byrd's
custer demand.
At the Economic Committees
hearing yesterday, Commerce
Secretary Hodges called the
proposals for tax reductions
and reforms "basically a pro-
business program and one that
businessmen from coast TO
coast should welcome"
Mr.. Hodges also contended
that the program is "conserva-
tive" because the administra-
ton has chosen to stimulate
the economy by cutting taxes
instead of increasing Federal
expenditures. The tax-cut
method, he said. preserves the
maximum freedom of choice Of

Investigation Incomplete
I'm the case of Snow, he had
been in the hospital for nearly
three weeks SO tests of his
stomach contents would have
been useless. His death might
have been attributed TO pneu-
monia because he lived in a
vegetative state for so long"
DR.. Whelton said the report

he is puzzled because the man

said his investigation still is

fore coming to a conclusion.
A District Medical Society
spokesman, although unfamil-
lar with the pill, said certain
agents that lower blood sugar
content can. If taken in large
enough quantity, cause death.
The pharmaceutical firm
through a spokesman, said the
procedure for withdrawing the
pills from doctors who had
been given it for investigative
use was to write to each doctor

DC. Transit Fight Won
By 2 Young Lawyers

I'VE were both absolutely ap-
palled at what the public Util-
ities) Commission was doing"
explained one of the two young
lawyers whose long legal fight
against D. c. Transit Co.'s five
cent fare increase ended in sue
cess today.
Leonard N. Bebchick, in his
office on Farragut square, said
he personally didn't stand to
lose very much out of pocket
at the nickel increase. He lives
at 1925 Thirteenth street NV,
an easy walk to his office and
the whole downtown area.
In our suit I called myself
a casual and occasional transit
rider" he said. Len Good
mani was listed as "a COM
muter,' since he takes the bus
on Wisconsin avenue every day.
Il believe in private owner
ship with a fair return" said
Mr.. Bebchick, a 30-year-old
bachelor. But / thought the
fare increase was totally un-
warranted. The transit COM
pany was milking the public
for exorbitant profits. and
felt the commission was COM
pletely abandoning It's respon-
sibility.
1T was an absolute and total
collapse of the regulatory
process" he concluded.
Convinced of Cause
The other half of the legal
duo, 29-year-old Leonard Cod
man, who works in the general
counSels office of the Inter
state Commerce Commission,
said "it was a long fight, but I
was convinced we we're right.
You know when we first went
into District Court they threw
the complaint out because we
had to show we were transit
riders. Well, I have been and
still am a daily transit rider"
Mr.. Bebchick earned his ABB.
at Cornell in 1855 and his law
degree at Yale in 1858. He
met Mr.. Goodman when both
worked for the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board on rate cases. Fol-
lowing a tour in the Army, Mr..
Bebchick wen into private
practice here.
when the rate case came
along. we figured we were both
experts in a way, due to our
rate experience with the CAB.
and as lawyers we were in a
position to take action" he
said.
Fought Increase
Since the original case, Mr..
Bebchick has continued to be
a thorn in the transit COM
pany's side-a role from which
he appears TO derive a good
deal Of satisfaction. A year or
so ago, when the company
wanted to raise the price of
tokens from five for 81 to four
for 95 cents and the cash fare

PrOxmire Critical
Senator Proxmire, Democrat
of Wisconsin, said he was dis
turbed by the talk about
financing budget deficits out
of savings. Such a policy, he
said, could wipe out practically
all the stimulatiye effects of
tax reductions.
He complained about what
he called "a sorry prediction"
in The Star yesterday that the
administration will raise inter-
est rates on savings bonds late
next year or early in 1865. He
said rising interest rates would
lrepress the economy.
Mr.. Dillon said increases in
interest rates for savings bonds
and other credit would be
beneficial as the economy re-
spends to stimulation. But he
emphasized that he does not
expect interest rates generally
to rise much until the economy
approaches full employment
after taxes are cut.
Sees Broad Reductions
Disputing interpretations by
the United States Chamber OF
Commerce and other business
spokesmen, Mr.. Dillon said the
program Of tax reductions and
revenue-raising reforms will re-
duce the taxes Of practically
everybody. He denied any
significant number of taxpay-
ers in middle and upper-in-
come brackets would pay more
taxes.
Mr.. Dillon said the Govern
ment probably should have cut
taxes before now.
He said, THE danger of
serious recession in the months
ahea6 appears remote" but
added that eve cannot be sat
isfied with stability or creep
ing advance"
Mr.. Dillon's testimony today
served as a warm-up for his
advocacy of the tax program
when the House Ways and
Means Committee starts hear
ings next Wednesday.

toward protectionism, he said,
the United States would have
to take "a new look at our
trade policy" which is based
on steady reduction of tariffs
and other import barriers.
Senator Fulbright, chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, said it may be
necessary to reconsider foreign
aid expenditures because these
outlays add to the balance-of-
payments deficit.
Mr.. Dillon said the immedi-
ate effects Of recent Common
Market developments have beer
favorable to the United States
acknowledgements. He said
the British pound has weak
lened, so that demands fol-
American gold have been cur
tailed.
In addition. he said, a slow,
down in the Common Markets
economic growth - caused BY
disunity-may discourage In

Police knew nothing Of all
this until Snow was admitted
at Washington Hospital Center
In an unconscious state about
10 am. on December 81. He
was in a coma when he arrived
and he remained so until he
died at 3:45 p m. on January is,
Jean Woodmore followed
Snow into the hospital at 5
am. December 28, also uncon-
scious. Detectives noted the
similarity in their symptoms
but twas not until they learned
the two had been friends that
the investigation centered on
the Seventh street shop.
First to Die
Connie Harris was taken to
D. c. General Hospital at $40
am. New Years Day by per-
sons unknown. She was the first
to die, at 2 pm. on January 2.
Her symptoms were the same
as the others except that her
hair was beginning to fall out.
No one knows, or is telling,
where the Harris woman was
from the time of the party
until she was admitted at the
hospital. Her case was puzzling
because her ailments fill half a
page Of paper, not the least of
them, cirrhosis Of the liver.
But Detective Cannon, and
no less than seven other de-
tectives, by questioning scores
of people on Seventh street,
managed to reconstruct what
had happened. At first, they
suspected soup that was served
at the party.
But the one man who at
tended the drinking bout and
was not paralyzed said he had
some Of the soup. The next
thought was methyl alcohol
poisoning, but it was established
that there had been none. Then
on December 30, the one un-
scathed partygoer told how
Snow had placed the pills on
the table.
The detectives checked, and
rechecked, and came up with
these facts:
/. Shows landlady had seen
him with a brown pill bottle
and scores of other Seventh
street residents had seen Snow
taking the pills at least a week
before he was stricken.
2. Sam Thomas. who had
been reluctant to talk at first,
eventually admitted he had
taken them.
3. Jean Woodmore's COM
mon-law husband told police
he had found a white tablet
in her bed. The woman was
questioned and. in one of her
few moments of lucidity, ad-
mitted to Detective Cannon
she had two pills but only
swallowed one.
4. The Harris woman's death
at the height of the investiga-
ton seemed to tax coincidence
TOO much to suppose that she
had not gotten pills from Snow,
too.
NeighbOrhOOd Search
The detectives were now
thoroughly alarmed that there
might be other pills around
and a search of Shows room
led Detective Cannon to the
lone pill he found there. Police
famed out over the second pre-
cinct area virtually pleading
with residents to tell them if
they knew of any more pills
around.
Police questioned thousands
of people to ask if they knew
Of any pills, anywhere.
I'VE were afraid some kid
might get a hold of one," said
Detective Cannon. Even now,
/ would hate to think that any,
thing l have left undone would
cause anyone to get one of
those pills. OF course. we're
not doctors and we couldn't be
sure the pills were to blame.
But we couldn't be sure they
weren't, either"

Dubious on Initiation

Discussing the administra.
tion's tax program, Mr.. Dillon

cts can be handled without

He predicted consumer prices

but no faster than in the recent
past.
Senator Miller, Republican
of Iowa, contended an "infla-

the benefits of tax reductions,
Mr.. Dillon said the Govern
ment will finance part Of the
deficit by tapping real savings,
thus avoiding borrowing from
commercial banks.
He added, however, that
