Effort 10 Lift
Dividend Taxes
BY the Associated Press

The present legal provisions
that tighten taxes on dividend
income should be continued,
the House Ways and Means
Committee has decided.
The committee yesterday re-
iected President Kennedy's
recommendation that the spe-
cial treatment of such income,
started during President Eisen-
hower's administration, be re-
pealed.
Repeal would increase Gov
eminent revenues by an esti-
mated $500 million q year.
The decision could be recon-
sidered later. as could the other
tentative provisions the COM
mittee has agreed upon so far
for the tax reduction and re-
vision bill. The vote In the
closed session was reported to
be IA to IL against repeating
the dividend exclusion.
The tax code sections in
volved allow a taxpayer to ex-
clude from his taxable income
the first $50 of dividends he re-
ceives and to deduct from his
tax bill a sum equivalent to
40 per cent Of his total divid-
ends. n
The committee also voted for
a slight liberalization of the
present rules on medical ex-
pense deductions but rejected
a proposal that could have en-
couraged purchase Of private
medical insurance. Some OPP
ponents of President Kennedy's
plan for health care of the aged
under social security were UNI
derstood to be pushing this
provision, which might have
reduced the pressure for a Gov
eminent system.
The committee voted to
eliminate, for persons IS and
over, the present requirement
that deductions for money
spent on drugs may be taken
only to the extent that total
expense exceeds l per cent Of
income. Mr.. Kennedy has
recommended this step. Per-
sons under IS, under present
law. are subject to the / per
cent floor on drugs and also
q 8 per cent floor on other
medical expenses, from which
the elderly are exempt. The
committee voted to leave these
provisions untouched. 1t re-
jected a Kennedy suggestion
for combining the l and 3 per
cent floors in a single one Of
4 per cent.
At present, premiums paid
on health and accident insur-
ance are deductible as part Of
medical expenses-subject to a
3 per cent floor for those under
SIS, fully deductible for older
persons. The proposal the COM
mittee turned down would have
made such premiums fully de-
ductible for everyone.

Crowd Cheers as Big Bells

AS q caravan of trucks eased
up the Washington Cathedral
driveway this morning, loaded
with 100 tons Of bells, a cheer
went up from a crowd grateful
to- see them arrive before the
rain,
The SO bells Of the new Kib-
hey Carlton and the 10-bell
Memorial Ring will make
enough noise TO be heard
throughout Washington when
they are placed in the Gloria
in ExcelsiS Tower late this sum-
mer. 1t will be the only tower
in the world with both a CARL
Ion and a ring of bells.
This fact seemed to impress
the neighbors who ran across
the lawn to see the bells ar
rive, the police escort which
came with the trucks and even
the drivers who leaned on their
trucks with arms folded. But
to a boy in yellow slicker the
ceremony was a dud. Ring
the bells, ring the BELLS" he in

The bells had arrived in

The largest bell is a silent

The l0-bell ring, cast by the

rung by volunteers from st.

trained in the art Of change

will be rung in succession, but

not to deafen the ringers" No

Arranged in
Rail Dispute
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
Rail operating unions agreed
today to a five.day extension
of the deadline In the railroad
work rules dispute and delayed
the threat Of a Nation wide
rail strike until next week.
The railroads had agreed last
night to the extension which
Secretary Of Labor Writ re-
quested when 1t became APP
parent no settlement could be
reached by the first deadline-
midnight tomorrow night.
Actually, the agreement by
the railroads made a strike
unlikely. because they must
take the initiative, by putting
the disputed work rules into
effect. before the five operating
unions can react with a strike.
After consultations last night
and a meeting early this morn
ing, the unions sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Mr.. Writ:
PLEASE be advised the labor
organizations will cooperate. /"
They also advised the rail-
roads Of their decision st the

After this deadline, the rail.

they have been trying to do fol
almost four years-put into eff

eliminate the Jobs Of some
10000 firemen on freight and

said they will call q strike when
the railroads put the new work

Long Session Yesterday
Mr.. Wirtz met with the ne

of progress.
Both management and
unions asked Mr.. Writ last
Tuesday to step in and try to
hasten a settlement. At that
time, Mr.. Wirtz said they re-
ported that agreement had not
been reached on any point In
the controversy.
The railroads contend that

called this "featherbedding."

ROUGH TIME - Members
Of the House Civil Service
Manpower Subcommittee gave
Vaux Owen, president Of the
National Federation Of Federal
Employees, a very rough time
when he testified before them
yesterday.
Mr.. Owen, declaring that this
country's unemployment was a
grave problem, said it was the
Governments responsibility to
keep its employees on the pay
roll. His remarks were in con-
nection with the loss Of jobs by
Federal employees, either
through economy programs.
displacement by military per-
sonnet, automation and other
factors.
The NFFE chief went on to
say that a temporary ban be
placed on automation to retain
employees on the job, and that
overtime work. both compen-
stated and uncompensated, be
suspended until there is an
improvement in the employ
ment situation. Mr.. Owen also
referred criticilly TO industrial
union leaders whose success in
getting higher pay and better
fringe benefits for their mem
bers results, he said. in higher
industry costs that brought
about unemployment.
All this brought criticisms
from some Of the members,
particularly Representative Der
winski. Republican Of Illinois.
In a scathing attack, Mr.
Derwinski accused Mr.. owen
of advocating that the Govern
ment cut the salaries and fringe
benefits Of Federal workers in
order TO make more econom-
ically feasible their retention
on the payroll He also said
Mr.. owen was advocating
featherbedding and the aban-
donment Of economy and
efficiency In Government in
order to retain large numbers
of employees even though some
of them may be unnecessary.
Mr.. owen replied that his
remarks had been miscon-
strued. but other members such

tioning.

have failed to understand and
capitalize on the enormous in
ternal immigration of starving
southerners streaming north to
find work in industrial cities.
The Communists on the other
hand, behaved like Irish ward
politicians Of the last century
towards these immigrants,
meeting them at the train, help
ing them to find work and
l odgings. They represented

wildered "Terrone" seeking the

the disconcerting margin of the
Communists manifested in April
was a matter Of circumstance
rather than issues and that the
gains were temporary, based on
protest and, in roughly 10000
cases. on love. The wives and

ROME, June lin Rome
this morning. the sun was
shining brightly while it rained
very hard.
And so 1t was with the re-
turns from Sicily's regional
parliamentary elections. Every
thing seemed to be happening
at once, and everybody seemed
pleased.
In Sicily, where the cult Of
Italian individualism is little
less than a mania, reason
seems to have descended
briefly, and cratic Sicilians
seem to have stabilized the
whole political situation.
The relief of the Christian
D ocrats is unspeakable.
They picked up three seats,
while the Communists gained
one.
II they had suffered another
setback such as they did in the
national election In April, when
the Communists scored an adj
vance of / million votes, the
whole "center-left" coalition
would have been in jeopardy
and the chances of forming a
government virtually nil.
Firmer Base for Moro
The immediate result of the
encouraging news from Sicily
is that Aldo Moro, the secre-
tary of the Christian Demo-
cratic Party, who has been
charged with organizing a gov
eminent, now can proceed from
a firmer base. Mr.. Moro, for
the last several weeks, has been
running from one to the other
of the three leftist groups in
his coalition like u man trying
to carry water in his hands.
Now he can proceed with
more confidence, and it is pos
sible that, II President Ken
nedy insists on coming here
in July, he will find a govern
ment functioning and somebody
in charge to talk to.
At the same time, the Com
munists profess to be happy
Also, the party newspaper, L
Unita, is Growing that the home
of the Malta has provided new
proof that the Communist
Party is on the march all over
Italy.
Luckily for Mr.. Moro, the
three other parties involved in
the famous Aperture ALA
SiniStra"-the opening to the
left, so apprehensively en-
barked on by the Christian
Democrats-did well, too.
Other Gains
The Nenni Socialists, who
have not actually Joined the
coalition but have given 1t
their support, picked up one
seat in Sicily. They are now
