SAN FRANCISCO, June 20
- The Young Republicans of
the Nation-all dressed up for
the dance they never got to-
argued all night over a dozen
minor jobs and then at 6 am,
today adjourned without ever
acting on civil rights or any
other resolutions.
1t was a wacky ending for
one Of the least plausible po-
litical gatherings in ages-the
biennial convention of the
Young Republican National
Federation.
1t began four days ago with
State Representative Charles
McDevitt of Idaho proposing at
a news conference that the
Government turn the veterans
hospitals back to the States as
one step in an economy plan"
that would permit the abolition
of the income tax. Mr.. Nc
Dewitt was later tagged-to his
political disadvantage here -
as a secret liberal and lost the
race for national chairman.
It was a convention where I.
Lee Potter, director of the
Southern division Of the Repub-
lican National Committee,
found his talent as an organ
list more useful than his skills
as a political organizer. Mr..
Potter was called upon to pump
out THE Star Spangled Ban
ner" and the Battle Hymn of
the Republic" to quell incipient
riots over such vital matters
as the Nebraska unit rule.
Potato Samples Given
Early this morning, while the
delegates were entangling
themselves in another parlia-
mentary snarl, someone came
through the meeting hall hand
ing out free samples of instant
mashed potatoes.
1t is probably a mistake to
say anything serious about
such a gathering. except to wish
the newly elected national
chairman, Donald E. (Buz) Lu-
kens of Washington, D. c., good
luck when it comes his turn to
attempt to preside over the next
convention.
The Young Republicans, how
ever, are no joke to the senior

Not G. o. P. Literature

Indeed, the real question now
is whether any senior, serious
Republican can influence the
organized Young Republicans.
The literature that circulated
at the convention was not Re-
publican literature. There were
reprints from National Re-
view and Human Events and
handouts from a variety of
right-wing fringe organizations.
But there was nothing from
party headquarters. When the
name Of a Republican office
holder came up, 1t wasn't his
record of party support the del
egates knew, but his AGA
(Americans for Constitutional
Action index rating.

gates came in. they found their
chairs adorned by a pamphlet
attacking Gov. Rockefeller OF
New York. That Mr.. Lukens
chose to indorse Senator Gold
water of Arizona for the presi-
Dental nomination at the very
moment he was seeking election
as the spokesman and leader
of all Young Republicans also
struck them as unfortunate.
Guidance Seen Lacking
The clearest thing about this
meeting was its demonstration
that the responsible Republican
leaders-the men Of the middle
aren't getting their message
through to their juniors.
Two years ago, when the
Young Republicans last con-
vened, Richard M. Nixon flew
into Minneapolis and single
handedly hauled them back into
the land of political reality
Now there is no one to hold
them in check.
Gov. Rockefeller and Cows,
Romney of Michigan and
Scranton of Pennsylvania were
invited this year but chose not
to come. So, the delegates
heard and presumably needed
their hero, Senator Goldwater.
But he did little to halt them
in their flight to the neither
regions.
Perhaps he should not be
held accountable. Senate r
Goldwater does function in the
real world, where Republicans
must lure votes from the ma
jority Democrats, but many of
his young fans dwell in a make
believe land where Republicans
must prove their conservative
credentials to each other by
espousing the Liberty Amend
ment and condem in g

CnlS year on TAX Reductions.
risk Of offending Chairman
Mills of the House Ways and
Means Committee, the most
powerful man in Congress in
the tax field.
Mr.. Mills is so inSistent on
closing ''loopholes" that the tax
bill probably will contain some
token reforms.
Tax Cut Gets Priority
Mr.. Kennedy made his move
m an appearance yesterday
before q symposium on eco
nomic growth sponsored by the
American Bankers Association
at the Mayflower Hotel.
He predicted In his speech
that "the country will, in the
not too distant future, be struck
by its fifth postwar recession"
If Congress fails to cut taxes
promptly. Then. after the
speech, a questioner suggested
that his proposals for revenue
raising reforms might arouse
30 much controversy that tax
cuts would be delayed.
The President replied:
81 quite agree that what we
need Is the (tax cut bill this
year. and nothing should stand
in its way. =. I would say the
first priority Is a bill. We have
to realize that If we don't get
the reforms. then, of course,
the tax bill would have to be
rewritten. The important
thing is to get the bill this year.
Whatever is necessary to get
that bill. I would support"
Mr.. Kennedy has proposed
tax reductions Of $13.6 billion
over three years. partly offset
by revenue : raising reforms
totaling $3.3 billion, for a net
cut of sos billion. He had
insisted on enactment of the
reductions and reforms In q
single package.
Although he reiterated yes
terday that the package APP
proach would be best, he vir-
tually abandoned the fight.
His reform proposals are I'M
popular in Congress. They had
q bare chance for enactment
only II the President waged an
about campaign.
Now that the President has
said he would accept q tax
reduction bill without reforms,
the campaign probably will COL
lapse. He has given his con-
sent to opponents of the re-
form proposals.
But Mr.. Mills, an Arkansas
Democrat, is an enthusiastic
supporter of the reform idea.
He privately Endorsed the Presi-
dents original tax program I'M
general only because 1t in
cluded substantial reforms of
the tax structure.
Minor Changes Possible
With major reforms prac-
tically abandoned, Mr.. Mills
may not support the tax reduc-
tions. He might, however, 90
along with tax cuts if the bill
contained a few relatively nom
controversial reforms as a |
token, and If the President
pledged to push for reforms
next year.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-02-26

An informed official at the
Treasury said today that no
tax bill can clear Congress
without some reform provi-
sions, because Mr.. Mills Is SO
firmly committed on the ques-
ton.
Although the Presidents re-
marks doomed the major part
Of the reform program, includ-
ing the proposals to limit item
tied deductions, some Of his
recommendations are not so
controversial.
The question is whether Mr..
Mills would settle for relatively
minor reforms.
House Speaker Mccormack
said today Democratic leaders
are confident that at least some
OF the proposed reforms will be
approved by Congress. He
talked to reporters after the
leaders conferred with the
President at the White House.
Senate Majority Leader
Mansfield said the administra-
ton still is aiming for a bill
including both tax reductions
and reforms.
Vital to Economy
Controversy over reforms had
made 1t likely that final con-
gressional action on the tax
program would be delayed at
least until September or Octo-
Der. BY dropping the fight for
major reforms, the President
has made 1t possible to get a
bill a little sooner-unless Mr..
Mills opposes him.
Mr.. Mills and the Treasury
have favored reforms this year
partly to reduce the revenue
losses resulting from tax cuts,
and partly because they be-
iieve Congress win reject re-
forms unless the pill Is sweet
ened by rate reductions.
Walter w. Heller, chairman
Of the Presidents Council of
Economic Advisers. and some
other administration leaders
have been unenthusiastic about
reforms. They put a priority
label on tax cuts to stimulate
the economy.
If Congress rejects reforms,
the President said yesterday,
the rate reductions should be
scaled down from his original
proposals so that the revenue
loss would approximate $40 bill
lion. Cuts of less than $40 bill
lion. he said might be too
small to do the job.
He did not exclude the pos
sibility Of cutting taxes more
than $40 billion, but conserva-
tives in Congress would OPP
pose bigger revenue losses at
a time Of increasing budget
deficits.
Mr.. Kennedy said he was not
predicting a recession this year, ),
but neither did he rule out that
eventuality. He said only that
there will be q recession "in
the not too distant future" If
Congress does not cut taxes
promptly.
Another recession, he warned,
would cause record brea.sing
budget deficits.
