An English Precedent
Actually it would appear that England and the United
States the only two countries where these pieces are
used at weddings and the custom is Just little over

than SIS billion and perhaps
as little as $1.2 billion in the
1864 fiscal year.
Mr.. Mills commented crypt
cally that such a reduction
would not be much of an effect,
comparatively speaking. The
1854 budget already is threat
ened by an $11.9 billion deficit.
He did not pursue the sub
ject. Nor did he indicate the
committees chances Of produc-
ing a tax bill this year with a
substantial cut as well as pro-
vision for increased revenues
and plugged loopholes to ease
or offset Treasury losses.
The committee planned to
resume work on the tax meas
ure tomorrow amid unofficial
signs that it might report out
a bill sometime between August
8 and Is.
Speaker Mccormack told
reporters yesterday that he and
other Democratic leaders would
bring any tax bill to the House
floor as quickly as possible after
it came from the Ways and
Means Committee and was
cleared by the Rules Commit
tee. He added that he saw no
reason to hold it back until the
House considers civil rights
legislation.

Nixon Lunches
With De GuuIIe

PARIS, July 80 (AP). -
Richard M. Nixon lunched with
President de Gaulle today and
later predicted a thaw in the
present chilly relations between
the United States and France.
The former Vice President
told reporters as he left the
Elysee Palace that he could
not divulge details Of his talks
with Gen. de Gaulle. But he
said he wanted to express the
personal opinion that, with
the difficulties between France
and the United States now
clearly delineated, I think that
the areas Of agreement that
can be found will be making
more news in the future"
He praised Gen. de Gaulle as
a strong leader and indie
pendent thinker" He also ex-
pressed the view that Gen. de
Gaulle will work with the
United States and the other
nations Of the free world to
find solutions to our problems. :"

Tx Workers
Face Inquiry
BY the Associated Press

The Senate Investigations
Subcommittee asks Air Force
technicians today to explain
their civilizations Of rival de-
signs for the Tx warplane.
The civilizations have been
caught in a conflicting cross
fire of testimony before the
subcommittee.
The Senate group Is seeking
to determine whether favorit-
ism was involved in the Pen
tagon's award of the Tx con-
tract to the Fort Worth (Tex.)
division of General Dynamics
Corp.
Air Force and Navy officers
have testified the Boeing Co. of
Seattle offered a design prom
ising a better, cheaper version
of the fighter-bomber.
While the subcommittee had
a day offSyesterday, the invest
igation echoed in the Senate.
Senator Simpson, Republican OF
Wyoming, accused Secretary OF
the Navy Fred Korth of a con-
flict of interest role in the Tx
negotiations.
There was no immediate re-
ply by Mr.. Korth or others at
the Pentagon to the allegation,
or to Senator Simpsons charges
the hearings have shown that
the award to General Dynamics
was "shot through with politi-
cal interest and favoritism."
Senator Simpson pegged his
charges to testimony in which
Mr.. Korth acknowledged last
Tuesday that the Continental
National Bank of Fort Worth,
Tex, of which he then was
president, had loaned money to
General Dynamics shortly be-
fore Mr.. Korth became Secre-
tary.
Senator Simpson commended
that Mr.. Korth placed himself
in a position "fraught with
temptations"
Mr.. Korth defended from the
witness stand his own key role
in recommending the award to
General DynamicS. He insisted
that neither the loan nor the
fact he still owed stock in the
bank had influenced his judy
ment and said he will resign If
the subcommittee finds he did
anything improper.

House Group Approves
Debt Limit Extension

November 80 the Treasury
would have a much sounder
basis upon which to determine
the debt limit requirements for
the remainder of the fiscal
year" ending next June 80.
Taxes Are Factor
He said this would be de-
termined to some extent by the
size and nature of tax reduc-
ton and reform bill passed by
Congress this year and by the
totals Of many appropriation
bills still not enacted.
Secretary Dillon and Budget
Director Kermit Gordon also
cited several Of the admins
tration's pending legislative
proposals, such as civil rights
measures and aid to education,
which would require some
spending during the current
fiscal year.
A main factor in the admin
istration's decision to request
q three-month extension in the
5000 billion debt limit, the two
officials testified, was that
"our budgetary position has
substantially improved since
May l."
The budget deficit for the
fiscal year which ended June
80 turned out to be $2.2 billion
less than the previously pre-
dicted $8.4 billion and there
were important governmental
economies as well as larger
revenue collections, they said.
Representative Byrnes of
Wisconsin, ranking Republican
on the committee, questioned
Mr.. Dillon and Mr.. Gordon
about each Of the claimed saw
ings. He said he rejoiced to see
reductions in expenditures but
he commended that most of
them apparently resulted from
Outside factors rather than
any economy wave in the Gov
eminent"

By JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

A Federal court has upheld
the right of the Government to
fire employees for not paying
their lawful debts.
Although many Federal
agencies for years have used
dismissals or the threat of dis
missals as a means to force
employees to pay legitimate
debts, this is believed to be the
first Federal court decision up
holding the Governments right
to fire for such causes.
The case involved a Federal
hearing examiner with the So
cial Security Administration.
The employe contested the
firing.
The courts decision is par
ticularly significant since Fed
eral employees salaries cannot
be garnisheed and the weapon
of dismissal is frequently the
only one available to agencies
to keep employees in line re-
garding payment Of debts.
The decision was handed
down by the Federal Court Of
the western district of South
Carolina. The presiding Judge
declared:
II cannot say that a willful
refusal or negligent failure to
pay lawful debts without suf-
ficient excuse or reason does
not constitute good cause for
dismissal, or that it Is not a
cause that will promote the ef-
ficiency Of the service, nor can
I say that 1t Is not for the
good Of the service. Such a reg
ulation is manifestly within
the statutory authorization"

House Democratic leaders
said today there's a good
chance that the Ways and
Means Committee will finish
work on the tax bill by the
end Of this week.
This was the first official in.
dication that the legislation
dealing with administration
proposals for reduction and re-
vision of taxes was almost
ready for House action.
Even if the bill comes Out
Of the committee Friday, how
ever, it still will have to be
cleared by the Rules Committee
and probably will not reach the
House floor before August 5.
Representative BoggS of Lou
iSiana, House Democratic WhiI
and a member of the Ways ano
Means Committee, said that the
committee hopes to finish vot-
ing on provisions of the tax
bill by Friday.
Several Republican members
of the committee, however
were not SO optimistic. They
said several key decisions, par.
ticularly relating to the size
and nature Of any cut in in
come taxes, are yet to be made
What might have been ar
official hint, or merely a hypo-
thetical question, was voiced
late yesterday by Committee
Chairman Mills, Democrat OF
Arkansas.
Mr.. Mills asked Secretary OF
the Treasury Dillon yesterday
how the Federal budget for the
1864 fiscal year would be af-
fected If Congress voted for q
IS billion tax cut to take effect
next January /.
He prefaced the question by
noting that the 1868 fiscal
year deficit turned out to be
$50 billion instead of a pre-
viously predicted $8.4 billion.
Mr.. Dillon made some quick
calculations and projections
about probable tax revenue be-
tween January / and June 80,
1864. He told Mr.. Mills that a
tax cut of that size would re-
duce Treasury revenue by less
