Little Legislation
Is Believed Needed

be sent to Congress next year
In the second installment of
the report, on July II, the
committee touched on the
sharp stock market break of
last year by commenting that
most stock specialists on the
New York Stock Exchange did
not help stabilize the market
during the time that prices
were being driven down.
To Comment on Credit
The break was the worst
since the historic plunge of
1929. Some 35 million shares
of stocks changed hands in
about $4,000 seperate trans
actions in two days. In one day
May 28--an estimated $19.5
billion was clipped from the
total value of all stocks listed
in the New York Stock Ex-
change.
Committee was generally mild
in tone. The second INSTALL
ment recommended unex-
pectedly drastic changes in
traditional market mechanisms.
Among them was the elimi-
nation by 1865 of floor traders
members Of the exchanges
who buy and sell on the floor
in search Of a quick profit
on the New York and Ameri-
can Stock Exchanges.

Italian Court Burs
WhistIinq at Girls

ROME, Aug. 8 (AP).-Italy's
Supreme Court has ruled it a
punishable misdemeanor for
sidewalk wolves to whistle at
girls and comment aloud on
their physical charms.
But it took almost five years
to get a final ruling.
The wolf whistling and the
loud comments on comeliness
took place at Bari in October,
1858. Two schoolgirls COM
planned to police who arrested
two youths as the whlstlers.
The Bari Police Court sem
fenced the youths to 10 days in
jail. A Bari civil court re-
versed the ruling, holding that
the two girls could have taken
it in better spirit.
Italy's Supreme Court over
ruled the civil court yesterday,
ruling such attentions are "vul-
gar and punishable under the
law"
The Bari youths will not have
to serve the 10 days, however.
All minor crimes and misde-
meanors have been covered by
amnestles since 1858

Can Continue
Underground Tests

Ninth: The risks in clan
destine violations under this
treaty are far smaller than the
risks in unlimited testing. IN
deground tests will still be
available for weapons develop
ment; and other tests, to be
significant, must run substan-
tial risks Of detection. No ma
ton tempted to violate the
treaty can be certain that an
attempted violation will 60 I'M
detected, given the many means
of detecting nuclear explosions.
The risks Of detection out
weigh the potential gains from
violation. and the risk to the
United States from such viola
ton is outweighed by the risk
Of a continued unlimited nu-
clear arms race. There is
further assurance against clan
destine testing in our ability
to develop and deploy addi-
tional means Of detection, in
our determination to maintain
our own arsenal through under
ground tests, and in our readi-
ness to resume atmospheric
testing If the actions of others
so require.
Tenth: This treaty is the
product Of the steady effort Of
the United States Government
in two administrations, and
its principles have had the ex-
plicit support Of both great
political parties. 1t grows out
Of the proposal made by Presi-
dent Eisenhower in 1859 and
the resolution passed by the
Senate in that same year; and
1t carries out the explicit
pledges contained in the plat
forms Of both parties in 1860.
Nothing has happened since
then to alter its Importance to
our security. 1t is also con-
sistent with the proposals this
administration put forward in
1861 and 1962-and with the
resolution introduced In the
Senate. with wide bipartisan
support, in May Of 1868.
This treaty is in our ma
tional interest. While experience
teaches us TO be cautious in
our expectations and ever
vigilant in our preparations,
there is no reason TO oppose
this hopeful step. 1t is rarely
possible TO recapture missed OPP
portunities to achieve a more
secure and peaceful world. To
govern is TO choose; and It is
my judgment that the United
states should move swiftly to
make the most Of the present
opportunity and approve the
| pending treaty. I strongly rec
ommend that the Senate Of
The United States advise and
consent TO It's ratification.

TEXT OF MESSAGE
President Sees
realty Inhibiting
WorIdArms Race

Following Is the tert OF
President Kennedy'S special
message to the Senate today
on the nucleGr test ban
treaty:
To the Senate of the United
States:
With a view to receiving the
advice and consent of the Sem
ate to ratification, / transmit
herewith a certified copy OF
the treaty banning nuclear
weapon tests in the atmoS-
ohere, in outer space and un-
derwater, signed at Moscow on
August S, 1868, on behalf OF
the United States Of America,
the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland,
and the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics.
This treaty is the first con-
crete result of eighteen years
of effort by the United States
to impose limits on the nuclear
arms race. There is hope that
it may lead to further meas
ures to arrest and control the
dangerous competition for in
creasingly destructive weapons,
The provisions of the treaty
are explained in the report
of the Acting Secretary OF
State, transmitted herewith.
Essentially it prohibits only
those nuclear tests that we
ourselves can police. 1t permits
nuclear tests and explosions
underground so long as all
fallout is contained within the
country where the test or
explosion is conducted.

proposals for changes in the
exchanges probably would help
preserve an orderly market.
The previous proposals called
for the elimination of floor
traders, strict controls over
floor specialists, and changes in
the system of handling small
transactions.
Floor traders are individuals
who buy and sell on the floor
in hopes Of quick profit, and
specialists are those who match
the buy and sell orders in
particular stocks and transact
business for their own account
when there is a surplus of buy
or sell orders.
No Reason for Breakdown
The commission said there
was no discernible reason for
what it called the breakdown
in odd-lot trading mechanisms
on the New York Stock Ex-
change during last years big
slide in prices.
The special committee, headed
by Chicago Attorney Milton H.
Cohen, steered clear Of pointing
out any special reason for a
pile-up of orders during the
drop.
In its summary, however,
there was special emphasis on
a comment by a New York Stock
Exchange specialist that the
volume of Stop-loSs orders
seemed to be a major factor in
holding up the execution of
transactions.
Stop-loSs orders are a direc-
ton that a stock be sold If the
price of the stock drops below
a point set by the seller. Such
orders are designed to prevent
an especially heavy loss.
The SEC has set up a new
section to carry out many of
the suggestions In the special
report, and the new division
has been stated, in part, with
some personnel who helped in
the long investigation.

While it will not end the
threat Of nuclear war or out

While it cannot wholly pre-

House Panel Rewriting
Capital Gains Tax Law

not taxed. Rejection an adj
ministration proposal to apply
capital gains tax at the time
of inheritance, the committee
came UP with q formula based
on the principle that the gains
ultimately would be taxed If
the heir sold the assets.
It reaffirmed this principle
yesterday, but with so many
exceptions-for example, for
small estates-and special pro-
visions, that the yield would be
drastically cut. The admin
istration's proposal was esti-
mated to be worth $500 million
a year additional revenue. The
final committee version might
provide 500 million.

Hopes of World
Focused on Pact

In the weeks before and
after the test ban negotia-
lions, the hopes of the world
have been focused on this
treaty. Especially in America,
where nuclear energy was first
unlocked, where the danger OF
nuclear war and the meaning
of radioactive fallout are so
clearly recognized, there has
been understanding and sup
port for this effort. Now the
treaty comes before the. SEN
ate, for that careful study
which is the constitutional
obligation of the members of
that body. AS that study begins
I wish to urge that the fol-
lowing considerations be kept
clearly in mind:
First: This Treaty Is the
whole agreement. United States
negotiators Moscow were in
structed not to make this
agreement conditioned upon
any other understanding; and
they made none. The Treaty
speaks for itself.
Second: This Treaty ad-
vance, though IL does not as
sure, world peace; and 1t will
inhibit, though 1t does not pro-
hibit, the nuclear arms race
While it does not prohibit
the United States and the So
Wet Union from engaging in
all nuclear tests, it will radi-
cally limit the testing in which
both nations would otherwise
engage.
While it will not halt the
production or reduce the exist
ing stockpiles Of nuclear weap-
ons, it is a first step toward
limiting the nuclear arms race.

BY the Associated Press

The House Ways and Means
Committee is having another
try at rewriting the rules on
capital gains taxation-one of
the next-to-last steps in con-
structing its version of a tax
cut bill.
The Job Of shaping a bill for
House consideration may be
essentially finished next week,
giving taxpayers the first clear
picture of the kind of tax legis-
lation being presented to Con-
gresS.
Capital gains-the profit on
sales of assets held for a stated
periods a difficult subject
for tax legislation. Such gains
already enjoy a tax advantage
over ordinary income. The adj
vantage would be increased I'M
der President Kennedy's pro-
posals and under various al
ternatives the committee has
considered.
The committee was reported
to be looking into a new form
ula under which the gain on
assets as long as two years
would be treated in this way:
Only 40 per cent of it would
have to be included as income
and in any case the maximum
tax would be 81 per cent. The
present rule on assets held six
months or longer is so per
cent inclusion and a maximum
rs per cent tax. The commit.
tee earlier had voted for a
three-year, 80 per cent, 1876
per cent maximum tax formula.
The tax writer's yesterday
tackled for a second time a
special aspect Of the capital
gains problem: How to handle
the gains on inherited assets.
Now when an heir takes over
assets which have increased in
value during the lifetime of
the deceased, the increase is

Not Substitute
For Good Defense

Seventh: This treaty Is not a
substitute for, and does not
diminish the need for, con-
tinued Western and American
military strength to meet all
contingencies. 1t will not pre-
vent us from building all the
strength that we need; and 1t
is not a justification for uni
laterally cutting our defensive
strength at this time. Our
choice is not between a limited
treaty and effective strategic
Strength-we need and can
have both. The continuous
build-up in the power and in
vulnerability of our nuclear
arsenal in recent years has
been an important factor in
persuading others that the
time for a limitation has ar
rived.
Eighth: This treaty will as
sure the security of the United
States better than continued
unlimited testing on both sides.
According to a comprehensive
report prepared by the respon-
sible agencies of Government
for the National Security Coun-
Gil. the tests conducted by both
the Soviet Union and the
United States since President
Eisenhower first proposed this
kind of treaty in 1859 have not
resulted in any substantial
alteration in the strategic bal
ance. In 1859 our relative
nuclear position was strong
enough to make a limited. test
ban desirable, and it remains
so today. Under this treaty
any gains in nuclear strength
and knowledge which could be
made by the tests Of any other
power-including not only un-
derground tests but even any
illegal tests which might escape
detection-could not be suf-
ficient to offset the ability of
our strategic forces to deter
or survive a nuclear attack and
to penetrate and destroy an
aggressor's homeland. We have,
and under this treaty we will
continue to have, the nuclear
strength that we need.
On the other hand, unre-
stricted testing-by which other
powers could develop all kinds
Of weapons through atmos-
pheric tests more cheaply and
quickly than they could under
ground-might well lead to a
weakening Of our security. It
is true that the United States
would be able to make further
progress If atmospheric tests
were eontinued-but so would
the Soviet Union and, indeed,
so could other nations. It
should be remembered that only
one atomic test was required to
complete the development Of
the Hiroshima bomb. Clearly
the security Of the United
States - the security of all
mankind-is increased if such
tests are prohibited.

Mnnesotans will be able to tell how sincere
their Congressional delegation is the matter Of
civil rights legislation by the position each Cong
ressman takes the discharge petition which was

These discharge petitions always separate the

Minnesota expects its Republican Congressman
to ignore party lines at time like this and sign the
discharge petition placing principles above part-
politics
This newspaper was critical Of the Democratic
governors who failed 10 go along with Gov. Rookie
feers proposals at the Governors conference earlier
this year They placed party politics above the civil
rights issue which should be bipartisan. They failed

principles above party. 1t looks like the Republican
leadership in the House Is making the same serious
error. This newspaper hopes Minnesota Republican
congressman won't make the same mistake.
