back of employees, the Pasca-

JFKUrges Prompt
OKOnTaxCut Bill
Palmer Expects
No Tax Increase

Sen. elect Merle Palmer told
Moss Point Rotarians Thursday
that reapportionment of the Lee
gislature would give Jackson
County better representation in
passing bills favorable to de-
velopment potentialities here.
Commenting on the depletion
of the state treasury, he ex-
planned that the budget Of the
past four years was based on
an anticipated is per cent in
crease in taxes collected by the
state. When this did not materia-
lie more than halfway, there
was a dissipation of the big sur
plus left by the last administra-
ton.
Palmer said that because of
his service as a House member
on the ways and means COM
mittee, he had been proposed to
be on the Senate finance COM
mittee.
He saw a "great challenge"
in the next four years and call
ed for close harmony and con-
Structive effort by all Mississip-
plans.
He said he expected no in
crease in sales taxes, and if
there is any tax increase, it will
be a small one, earmarked for
education.

the invocation. DR.. M. L. Smith,
assistant pastor, First Metho-
dist Church of Pascagoula, gave
the benediction.
Supervisor Edward A. Khayat,
District z, was master of cere-
monies and recalled the history
of the center, which grew out of
a county cerebral palsy school
nine years ago.
He said funds collected to edu-
cate CP children could not be
used for non-educable children,
and after seeing a need for
a place for these children, the
board of supervisors decided to
set up a center for non-trainable
children.
They visited the state school
for the retarded at Ellisville,
and privately-owned institutions
before setting up the center in
April 1856, with Mrs. Virginia S.
Wilson as director.
The Legislature of 1856 passed
a bill to allow the county to
support the center for retarded
children as well as the CP
school with up to a half mill tax.
The city of Pascagoula allowed
use Of buildings, and gave land
for the institutions.
Khayat said more than $4,000
came from United Fund and
other contributions to a fund
created by the schools Mothers
Club helped equip the build
ing.
1t. Gov. Johnson said, II know
that for years to come this fine
institution will rebound to the
best interest and general welfare
of these wonderful children, and
will stand as a monument to
those who have contributed so
much Of their time and energy
to make this dream a reality"
He added, "As governor, it
shall be my purpose to work in
close cooperation with the Mis-
sissippi Association for Retarded
Children"
Bartlett called the institution
and program another first in
Mississippi" He said it was the
first publicly owned facility of
this type in the nation"
Center Director Mrs. Wilson
said Of the children who attend
the center, "They need and are
entitled to a pleasing atmos-
pierre"
A tour Of the new building,
along with refreshments, were
given the public after ceremon-
les.

The tax bill provides for low
er tax rates on corporate and
individual incomes effective
Jan. 1, 1864. 1t is pending be-
fore the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
The President said in a
speech prepared for the 5th BIZ
ennial convention of the ALL
Clio that the need for more
jobs and economic security was
the overriding domestic issue in
the United States. The business
recovery may be running out Of
steam, he warned.
Unemployment 'Waste"
Kennedy who said that he
would not have been elected
without AFL-CIO support,
termed existing unemployment
an "intolerable waste" that
should be attacked by slashing
tax rates.
LAST years loss Of man.
hours, in terms Of those willing
but unable to find full time
work, was a staggering one bill
lion work days lost, equivalent
to shutting down the entire
economy with no production, no
services and no pay for over
three weeks" he said. "That is
an intolerable waste"
The AFL-CIO Executive
Council has demanded govern
ment action to deal with heavy
unemployment which has lev
eled off at SIS per cent of the
labor force in recent months.
The labor federation supports
the Kennedy tax cut bill.
"ThiS bill will build consumer
markets, build investment de-
mand, build business incentive
and thereby build the need for
more jobs and more workers."
Kennedy said.
Generate More Goods
cit will directly generate the
additional production of billions
worth of consumer goods and
services 80 and these in turn
will generate more wages, prof
its, and income-and these too
will be spent in more job-cre-
ating demand - for a total adj
dition of some $50 billion in de-
mand," he added.
Kennedy, spelling out changes
since his administration came
to office, said the average fac
tory worker is taking home $40
a week more and 2.5 million
more jobs have been created
since 1860. Labor income, he
noted, has increased by nearly
$50 billion in three years.
"In short, we do have this
nation moving again - and our
working men and women are
moving with it," he said to the
union audience. "But while we
can take some satisfaction with
this record Of past achieve
ment, we cannot be satisfied

Minnesota the Negro has all of the
rights by law that the people Of

In contrast to Alabama, Mime

The editor said he regarded Min

there was much work to do yet in

Hotel and restaurant discrim-

there is widespread discrimination

it may be necessary to launch a
drive for legislation against resort

tinue.
Newman said there was still
plenty of job discrimination but it
is usually hid in personnel office
practices, and the habit of private

that Negroes were almost COM
