400 Drawn by Funeral KneII to Presidents Church

A funeral knell at st. Stephen
the Martyrs Catholic Church
last night beckoned mourners
for its late parishoner, Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy. More
than 400 answered.
A black cloth covered the red
drape on the altar of the
church at Twenty-fifth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV.
Black vestements replaced the
blood-red ones normally used
on the day honoring st. Cecil
ia, the early Christian martyr.
The Presidents pew. the sew
enth on the right, was empty.
A black rope was at its en-
trance.
1T is Gods holy will" Msgr.
Joseph F. Denges told the So
lemn gathering. mostly women,
mostly fearful.
I'VE cannot understand =,
but we have faith that whatev-
er happens, happens under the
providence Of God.
He was a man of deep reli-
gious faith. He was a man died.
icated to service. A patriotic
man. A loyal and faithful AM
erican."
Father Denges consoled the
congregation: You should not
grieve like the rest, like those
who have no faith.
Those who died in Christ
shall rise first we shall all
be together with the Lord"
The pastor recalled the hap
pier days.
%. To God on high be
thanks and praise, Who deigns
our bonds to sever. His care
shall guide us all our days, and
harm shall reach us never" the
congregation sang.
Many cried unashamedly
near the end of the 40-minute
service, when all joined in the
National Anthem.
After the final blessing,
many fingered to offer their
personal prayers.

Day of Mourning
Asked by NAACP

The District NAACP Branch
today called upon all Washing

tomorrow as a day of mourn
ing and memorial for President
Kennedy.
THE Presidents aSSasSina-
ton was caused in a great part
by his strong civil rights
stand" said the Rev. E.
Franklin Jackson, District
NAACP president. HE was life
to all people and a servant of
God and a servant of all the
people"
DR.. Jackson added: Every
bigot and every official who
acted irresponsibly at the
State or National level and ut
tered venemous words of hate
contributed to the building Of
the platform on which the as
sassian stood"

The surge of shock and dis
,belief that spread across the
Capital and the Metropolitan
Area yesterday at the news of
President Kennedy's assassina-
ton moved like a swift, numb
ing paralysis.
Throughout the area, over
and over again people ex-
pressed disbelief as the first
radio and television bulletins
came in. In schools. private
homes. city and suburban Of
fees, Federal buildings, and on
the street, many at first
thought it was all a joke.
Early in the afternoon. small
groups formed in the streets,
clustered around those who
carried pocket-sized transistor

Never before in history had
the news of such a tragic event
reached so many people so
quickly.
Word Spreads in Schools
In schools here and in near

children remembered how
the word read into class
rooms from students or teach

Some aspects of the reaction
were age-old. A phrase writ

the situation yesterday. Car

The city was so quiet.
It gets that way sometimes

gan at least as far back as
December IL, 1862. Perez Jim
enez has been held in Jail in
Miami since that time.
Last Barrier Drops
The last State court barrier
to his extradition dropped yes
terday when the Florida Dis
trict Court of Appeals refused
to rule on an appeal by the
Dade (MiamD County sheriff
who sought a ruling on whether
State or Federal courts had
jurisdiction in the case.
The sheriff, in whose jail the
former dictator has been lodged
since December IL, 1862, had
been blocked from releasing him
by an order from Circuit Judge
Robert H. Anderson, who is
considering a paternity suit
filed against him.
Shortly after the Florida
courts action, however, Dade
County Attorney Darcy Davis
instructed the sheriff to re-
lease the former dictator from
Jail on orders from the United
States marshal.

said the United States has told
the Soviet Union it is inter-
eSted in discussing specific
points" without including them
in any broad framework.
Thus, the United States
would favor an agreement on
control posts, but sees no point
in linking such posts with other
issues, as the Russians have
tried to do.
Mr.. Rusk said the Govern.
ment was deeply distressed
by the problems in South Wet
nam resulting from the inter-
nal rift between BuddhistS and
the government of President
Ngo Dinh Diem.
He said the crisis came at a
time when military develop
ments we're proceeding quite
favorably against Communist
guerrillaS.
Although he had the impress
sion that Communist bloc gov
ernments in Europe wanted to
better relations with the West,
he said it was too early to draw
conclusions from this.

TAXES
Deciding Vote Cast
Committeeman

Martha Griffiths, Democrat of
Michigan, cast the deciding
ballot in the 1912 vote.
All 10 Republicans, it was
reported, voted against any
change in the present dividend
provision.
The two De ocrats who
voted with the Republicans
were understood to be Repre-
sentatives Heriong of Florida
and Watts of Kentucky.
A preliminary vote was 1912,
which under committee rules
defeats a motion. Mrs. Crit
fiths was not present. She had
previously opposed changing
the rules on dividends, COM
planning that the committee
had pared down administration
proposals for Tightening tax
rules on the oil industry and
other segments of the economy.
Dividend recipients, Mrs.
Griffiths commended, represent
ed a larger part of the popula-
ton than these.
Adjustment Fails to Satisfy
After her earlier dissent, the
committee did go part way
with Treasury recommended
tons on oil taxation, but still
rejected the greater part of the
administration recommended
tionS in this field.
Mrs. Griffiths had indicated
she was still unsatisfied. How
ever, when the final vote on
the dividend tax came, 1t is
understood she voted with the
Democratic majority.
The Speedup in payment of
corporate taxes, for corpora
tons with more than 100000
tax liability, would work this
way:
Beginning in 1864, portions
of the tax now due in the fol-
lowing year would come due in
April and June. In 1864, per
cent of the nov deferred tax
would be due in each Of these
months; in 1856, 4 per cent; in
1866, 9 per cent; in 1867, IA
per cent; in 1868, 10 per cent;
in 1869, % per cent and in
1870, rs per cent.
The additional receipts to the
Treasury were estimated at
$3.50 million during the fiscal
year that started last July /
and 5000 million in most of the
other years through 1870, ex-
cept that in 1865, 1867 and
1868 an estimated SIS billion
would come in.
