Senator Morse warned the
Senate last night of possible
lobbying, discrimination
against Negroes in promotions
and conflicts of interest within
the Washington police depart
ment.
The Oregon Democrat took
the floor to brief his colleagues
on questions he wanted an

tensive study" promised by
Senator Morse, Senate District
Subcommittee chairman, next
year.
MY work on the District
Committee causes me to believe
that the type of study I am
going to make of the police de-
partment is long overdue" the
Senator said in a speech at the
end of the days business in the
Senate.
He demanded to know how
often, if ever, Police Chief Rob-
ert V. Murray and the District
Commissioners consulted with
the District Policemen's Asso-
citation on legislation affecting
policemen.
ITO put it bluntly, I have
been lobbied time and time
again by the Policemen's ASso-
ciation," Senator Morse said.
And I have never been given
the impression that the asso-
citation was acting in a vacuum
as far as the mutual interests
of the chief Of police and the
District Commissioners were
concern"
He had written to Walter N.
Tobriner, president of the
Board of Commissioners, ask
ing him for all statements by
Chief Murray and his officers
above the rank Of captain
through the last six years on
any legislation dealing with
District law enforcement.
Mr.. Tobriner told reporter
today, I'VE will supply the in
formation requested by the
Senator as soon as possible"
Senator Morse also requested
a list of all police promotions
within the last five years.
The Senator also asked for a
list of real estate holdings Of

July | Target Date
Is Set for Tax Cuts
Details Due
In MESSAGE
Next Week
BY LEE Nj. COHN
Star Staff Writer

July ! is President Kennedy's
target date for the first INSTALL
ment of his $l3.5 billion tax
cut program. informed sources
said today.
Revenue-raislng tax re-
forms" would start taking ef-
feet next January /, according
to the Presidents timetable.
The July l target is admit
tedly optimistic. 1t appears
doubtful that the controversial
tax legislation can be pushed
through Congress by that date,
and the idea of retroactive tax
has been abandoned.
The Presidents special mes
sage submitting details of his
tax proposals is tentatively
scheduled to go to Congress on
Thursday Of next week, Janu-
airy "a. House Speaker McCor-
mack announced after a break
fast conference with Mr.. Ken
nedy at the White House today.
Early Hearings Expected
The Speaker, saying he is in
complete agreement with the
President in giving top priority
to tax cuts in this Congress.
said his information is that the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee will proceed very quickly
with hearings shortly after
Congress receives the message.
Mr.. Kennedy said in yester-
days state-of- the Union mes
sage that his three-step
tax-cut program would start
with 1868 reductions of some
$6 billion at annual rates"
Administration sources en-
phasized that the President did
not mean his proposals call for
cutting taxes by So billion this
year.
Delays Possible
/ If the first reduction takes
effect July /, they said, the
cuts would total only about So
billion in 1868, because they
would apply only to the second
half Of the year. If congress
Sional action is delayed beyond
July /, the reductions presum-
ably would total proportionate-
ly less than So billion in 1868.
Additional reductions would
take effect in 1864 and 1865,
ultimately making up the total
reduction of $13.5 billion.
Revenue-raising reforms will be
designed to offset about SIS
billion of the tax reductions,
trimming the net cut to $40
billion.
The bulk of the tax reduc-
tons probably would take
hold in 1864. BY plan or
coincidence. 1864 will be an
election year.
Fiscal 1868 will end next June
80, so tax cuts effective July /
would not increase the Federal
budget deficit for the current
year. That deficit was last es-
timated officially at $7.S bill
lion.
