Byrd Calls Il Unfair
But he said Democratic Ma
tional Chairman John M. Bal
ley has sent suggested press
releases to Democratic COVER
nors or State chairmen of all
States aSsailing House Repub-
licans who voted against the
tax bill last week.
Chairman Harry F. Byrd Of
the Finance Committee COM
planned that it was unfair for
the Democratic National Com
mittee to send out such "propa-
ganda" on an issue that has
divided congressional Demo-
Gratis.
After Mr.. Keel stepped off
the griddle, the United States
Chamber Of Commerce testi-
fled for the tax-cut bill as
"our last best hope Of a bal
anced budget. long-range, and
the resumption Of q healthy
rate Of economic growth"
Joel Barlow. q Chamber d.
rector, was the first of about
ITO non-gOvernment witnesses
scheduled to testify on the bill.
Noting that the Chamber has
been criticized for advocating
tax cuts at a time Of big Fed
eral budget deficits, Mr.. Barlow
said his organization considers
spending reductions as impor-
tant as tax reductions.
The primary value of (the
tax bilD will be greatly diluted
unless the Congress at the same
time makes substantial cuts in
Federal expenditures" Mr.. Bar
low said.
Reason for Support
If the tax bill is defeated, he
said, the Government will I'M
dertake a new surge of SPEND
ing" in an effort to stimulate
the economy. Therefore, he said.
support Of the tax bill amounts
to opposition to Increased
spending and reliance on pump
printing.
Enactment Of the tax bill this
year is most essential" Mr..
Barlow said. because there are
signs that the economy's health
may be deteriorating."

Gore Wins Apologies
For Tex Cut Pressure
By LEE NJ. COIN
Bar ataff WIZ

The Democratic Parys research director apogized today
for putting the heat Senator Gore Democrat
who opposes the Kennedy administrators tax bill.
Il regret any confusion misunderstanding may have
caused" William Keel research director Of the Democratic
National Committee told the Finance COMMITTEE
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-10-21


Mr.. Keel was called to testify
about a telegram he sent to a
Democratic county leader in
Tennessee which said in part:
Senator Albert Gore is max
ing q most serious mistake in
opposing the tax reduction. He
should support it and do any
thing possible to speed its pass
age. The Senator's opposition Il
not only contrary to the best
interests Of the people of -
County. but to Tennessee and
the Nation as a whole"
Assumes Responsible
Mr.. Keel took sole RESPONSE
bility for sending the telegram
which was in the form Of G
suggested press release for dis
semination by the county
leader. ..
He said he sent the telegram
without consultation with any
one else, either in the Dem
ocratic National Committee or
elsewhere"
Mr.. Keel said the idea that
he was trying to purge"
Senator Gore is erroneous and
never even crossed my mind. +"
He said he is a Tennessean
and always has supported
Senator Gore.
Senator Gore was outraged
when he heard about the tele-
grams, but Mr.. Keel's testimony
apparently pacified him.
The main point, from Sena-
tor Cores viewpoint, apparent
ly was that Mr.. Keel said he
sent the telegram on his own,
not at the direction of party
leaders or administration Of
ficials.
No Further Questions
He said he's made a mis-
take; I too have made mistakes,
and I have no further ques-
tions.' Senator Gore said.
He had pointed out statistical
inaccuracies in Mr.. Keel's tele-
gram.
Senator Gore. who Is run
ming for reelection next year,
said last week that the tele-
gram indicated the Democratic
National Committee was try
ing to intimldate and perhaps
purge him.

being urged that this be done
throughout the Government,
with employees given admin
istrative leave"-all at the
taxpayers expense. It would
appear that the generosity Of
the taxpayers who are thus
footing the bills might at
least cover compensation to
the citizens here who actually
incur financial losses.
Whether the "demonstra-
ton" will be peaceful is any
body's guess. Their are
church organizations of white
people in different parts Of
the country which are send
ing so many Of their mem
bers by buses and special

looks as If the "demonstra-
ton" will be only partly COM
posed of Negroes. The odds
would seem to be in favor Of
its being a peaceful affair.
But, as the time for the
march" approaches, the fears
of local residents have by no
means been dispelled.
No matter how peaceful 1t
turns out to be, the demon
stration" will set a signifi-
cant precedent. How can the
District of Columbia govern
ment now refuse a permit to
any organization, no matter
how unpopular its cause may
be, to carry on a "demonstra-
ton" involving 100000 or
more persons? The ConStitu-
ton, of course, recognizes the
right Of petition" but this
can be exercised as effectively
by $4,000 people seated in a
football stadium, with q tele-
vision broadcast Of the
speeches made there, as it
can be by a street parade or
gathering of mobs.
There is nothing in the Con-
stitution which says that the
right Of petition" includes
the right to disturb some
body's business, even for one
day. But there is a clause in
the Constitution which says
that no person shall be de-
prived Of life, liberty, or
property. without due process
of law; nor shall private
property be taken for public
use. without Just compensa-
ton"

Tended his past policies before

shouts Of TRAITOR and haunting
choruses Of 'hind-chini bhai-

motion ever tabled against

Mr.. Nehru, himself, twice

Coming closer than he ever
has to denying he was q Com
munist, the former Defense
Minister raped his critics for
labelling him q "crypto or con-

acter," he said, "And I treat

Mr.. Menon has been widely
blamed by the Indian public
for the last falls humiliating
defeats by Red China in the
Himalayas. Since then, Mr..
Menon has identified himself
openly with several pro-Com-

The most anxious congress

The most anxious congress
sional conversations now TAX
ing place are not about the
test-ban treaty, foreign aid.
or the crises in South Wet
Nam and the Middle East,
but about the new break
down in the railroad work
rules negotiations.
Unless some way can be
found to settle the dispute
or freeze 1t for awhile, the
threatened strike will start
at 1901 am, August 20.
That is only q few hours
after the massive civil rights
demonstration here is sup
posed to disperse.
The immense problems in
herent in the size and scope
Of the demonstration are
being handled in an extraor-
binary display Of official and
civil planning. What is per-
haps most remarkable is the
understanding being shown
by Washington residents and
its business community.
Individually and severally,
they are voluntarily taking
steps to see that the difficult
crowds are minimize d.
These steps amount to a one
day holiday for thousands Of
workers and are made nee
essary by the relatively
small space in the heart Of
the city which the demon
stration will pre-empt.
There are some signs that
in other cities the demon
stration Is viewed as a spec
tacle. even a circus, merit
ing the attention of sight
seers. Politically sophisticated
Washington knows better. 1t
recognizes the proposed
march as a civil demonstra-
ton which, with m a ic e
aforethought in some quar-
tiers, or even Just q little
bad luck, could turn into a
civil disturbance.
Congress recognized this
promptly. It was soon agreed
that 1t should stay on the job
and hold at least token ses-
Sions.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Millions Of dollars will be
lost to merchants Of retail
goods and to businesses Of
various kinds on August %
in this city because Of the
fear Of area residents to come
to downtown Washington on
that day during the demon
stration" which will bring
from 100000 to 100000 per-
sons to the streets Of the
National Capital. Who is to
pay these losses? Why should
innocent citizens be penal
lied?
The mayor Of a city usually
decides whether a permit to
parade or demonstrate will
interfere with a city's normal
operations, and a permit is
granted or refused on the
basis Of what the impact will
be on the commerce Of the
community. This city has no
mayor because the residents
are not permitted to vote for
their local government. A
commission of three is APP
pointed by; the President to
manage the affairs Of the
District Of Columbia. So, for
all practical purposes, the
President Is virtually the
mayor here. The RESPONSE
bility, therefore, for the losses
incurred by private citizens
rests with the Federal Gov
eminent.
Will Congress now pass a
bill permitting all businesses
to claim not just a deduction
but a tax credit for the entire
loss incurred? Most corpora
tons pay a So per cent tax
rate, which means that the
company itself bears AZ per
cent Of q loss. Why shouldn't
the Government take care of
100 per cent of the loss when
the Government is respon-
sible entirely for the grant,
ing Of an official permit
which allows a "demonstra-
ton" to be held that fright
ems the populace and causes
it to avoid the stores that
day?
Many companies will find
that their employees will be
