DETROIT. Jan. 5 (AP) -
Two prominent Episcopal cler-
gymen suggested today that
more taxes should be collected
from churches - particularly
those all-white congregations
which exclude Negroes.
Their findings were included
In a 65-page booklet on church
financing. with strong emphasis
on the desirability of tithing
by church members. Tithing
involves giving 10 per cent of
ones earnings to his church.
The report was written by
Rev. Carl F. Sayers, vicar of
st. Stephens Church in Bir-
mingham. Mich, and chaplain
of the Michigan National
and Rev. Bertram T.
White, director Of stewardship
and evangelicism for the Epis-
copal Diocese of Michigan.
There are clear instances
where churches should be
charged taxes" said the two
clergymen.
They continued:
1--WE think, for example, Of
congregations in our
inner cities which exclude Ne
gro citizens from their fellow
ship.
I'm this instance, Govern
ment ethics which enforce i'm
partiality before the race issue
stand closer to Christ than the
lily = white religious clubs
which bear the names Of
churches over their restricted
doors. These should not be
tax-exempt."
Urging general adoption Of
tithing TO help churches get
their finances in better shape,
the two ministers wrote:
Special discounts for the
clergy and special consideration
for churches In financial and
world transactions tend TO
cheaper the body OF Christ in
the eyes Of the secular order.

be entitled to any exemption

increase in social security taxes
probably will be turned down
again, Senator Dirksen told re-
porters yesterday.
On Mr.. Kennedy's plans for
a tax reduction, Senator Dirk
sen indicated most Republicans
will take the position he and
House Republican Leader Hal
leck hold: There should be no
cut unless spending is slashed.
On the foreign aid front,
Senator Dirksen foresaw deep
trouble ahead for the always
beleaguered program. These
difficulties, he said, will be
compounded by the expected
submission by Mr.. Kennedy of
a $99- billion budget.
II think the temper of the
country is turning against for
eign aid" Senator Dirksen
said. "The people don't see any
real results from it. They are
getting tired of pouring money
into a program they don't
think is effective"
Senator Dirksen indicated he
has no intention Of joining
with Democratic Leader Mans
field of Montana in offering a
compromise rules change when
Senate liberals launch an ef-
fort to ease the Senate debate
limitation requirement.
The liberals plan to propose
a rule under which a majority
of Senators could cut off talk.
AS matters stand, this can be
done only by a two-thirds ma
jority of those voting.
Senator Mansfield has an
nounced support of a proposal
to permit three-fifths of those
voting to impose cloture and
end debate.
That won't satisfy either
side" Senator Dirksen COM
mented.
The Illinois Senator indi-

Gated he is keeping an open
mind on Democratic overturesI
that he take a post on the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. Because he has given
Mr.. Kennedy strong support
in international crisis, Senator
Mansfield has proposed that
Senator Dirksen fill one of two
vacancies on the 17-member
committee.
Would Boost Strength
If he accepted, the Democrats
would agree to let the commit
tee division stand IL to 6 in
their favor, instead of reducing
the G. o. P. representation to
five and giving the other post
to a Democrat.
Senator Dirksen also told the
reporters, meeting with him in
his office on his 9th birthday,
that he and Mr.. Halleck expect
to resume weekly news confer
ences shortly to point up their
party's differences with the
Democratic administration.
For economy reasons the Ma
tional Republican Finance
Committee has cut off the funds
to finance staff operations for
the conferences, widely known
as the "Ev and Charlie Show"
Senator Dirksen said, however,
he anticipates no difficulty in
getting the money elsewhere.
The Illinois Senator indicated
he and Mr.. Halleck will ignore
party critics who say they think
younger and more aggressive
Republicans ought to be heard
from. Representative William
H. Ayres, Republican of Ohio,
has been in the forefront of
those who contend that the "Ev
and Charlie Show" has got to
go.

For Mr.. Adenauer, a devout
Roman Catholic, the day start
ed at 8 am. with a mass said
by one of his sons at st. Elisa

was to be driven to the white
chancellory overlooking the
Rhine River for the reception
of prominent members of the
government and the diplo-
matte corps. Other activities

Reluctant to Quit
The chancellor enters 1868
dogged by troubles that grew
out of the sensational Spiegel
affair, which is still in its
initial legal phase. The govern
ment's treason action against
the influential weekly news
magazine raised cries Of "Ges-
tapo methods" and ''muzzling

shuttle his cabinet last month

Air Blows Kill
Al at Border,
Saigon Asserts

SAIGON, Wet Nam, Jan. 5
(AP) South Wet Nam claimed
today that Al Communist guer-
rillas were killed Wednesday in
fighting near the Cambodian
frontier, largely as the result
Of air strikes.
In another operation that be-
gan December 21 near the Wet
Cong-controlled area known as
ID zone" the government said
l27 guerrillas had been killed
so far.
Other operations we're under
way, but no important results
were reported.
Wet NameSe and American
officers analyzed Wednesdays
bloody battle near Tan HEP,
in which 68 government troops
were killed and about 10 in
jured. Three Americans were
killed and 10 wounded and five
United States helicopters
downed.
The consensus among Amer
ican officers who participated
in the fight was that made
quate intelligence, poor CO.
ordination and lack of aggres-
siveness on the government side
were contributing factors in
the biggest Wet Cong success
since the United States began
a massive military assistance
program in South Wet Nam
more than a year ago.
40 Bodies Found
The government claimed
more than 100 Wet Cong were
killed during the battle. About
40 enemy bodies we're found.
Artillery, helicopter and
fighter bomber attacks against
the Wet Cong hamlet of Ap
Bac evidently we're less effec-
tive than expected. A force Of
at least 200 Communists was
believed operating there and
the village population was
about 600.
Commanders felt that many
civilians had been killed in the
attacks, but only two of the
bodies found were identified
definitely as civilians.
Wet Cong machinegunners
continued firing effectively
even after planes fired rockets
into their positions and doused
them with napalm. Wet Cong
earth barricades and foxholeS
gave good protection.
Most of the damage done to
government forces was caused
by machineguns-one or two
of which were in trees over
looking the field near the
hamlet.
1t was clear that the basic
pattern of helicopter-borne as
saults would continue.
Air Strikes Possible
There is the possibility air
strikes against detectives might
become routine to make sure
enemy gunners are silenced be-
fore helicopters arrive, but
some commanders object that
an air strike is a sure tipoff
that an operation is about to
open.
Helicopter formations and
landing patterns may undergo
some changes.
There are prospects of drop
ping the use of eagle flights"
groups of troop-laden hell
copters that fly around with
out any planned objective,
looking for the enemy.
Eagle flights have resulted
in frequent helicopter casual
ties although many of them
have been effective in sur
prising enemy units.
Some Wet NameSe command
ers have argued against land
ing troops from helicopters as
close to objectives as has been
the practice. Most American
advisers feel, however, that
helicopters must be landed on
top of the enemy before he
can run away.

declined to predict the outcome
of the vote or estimate how
many Republicans might sup
port expansion of the commit

she was among % House Re-
.publicans who voted with 1876
Democrats to increase the COM
mittee from IL to Is members
for the duration of the 87th
Congress.
The detailed statement re-
leased by her office today was
considerably more emphatic and
detailed in listing reasons why
she believed Republicans should
support the Rules Committee
expansion plan.
1t also was regarded as signi-
ficant in view Of some other
G. o. P. differences of opinion
on strategy.

rules of the old 87th Congress
for the new 88th. Then, House
Democratic Leader Albert would
move to amend those rules by
providing for a l5-member COM
mittee.
In another development in
the Rules Committee situation,
Representative Landrum, Demo-
crat of Georgia, told reporters
yesterday he had made no deal
and received no promises for
assignment to the Ways and
Means Committee.
Mr.. Landrum voted against
enlarging the Rules Committee
in 1861. He recently announced
he would vote for expansion
this year. Currently a member
of the Education and Labor
Committee and sponsor of the
Landrum-Griffin labor legisla-
ton several years ago, he is an
avowed candidate for one of
the two Democratic vacancies
on the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
He told the Associated Press
he does not know how he would
vote on the medicare issue but
would favor a tax cut for in
dividuals and corporations.

A Republican woman mem
Der of the House called for sup
port of the administrations po-
Sition in the Rules Committee
fight today as leaders Of con-
flicting Democratic groups
failed to settle their own differ
ences over the issue.
Representative Florence
Dwyer of New Jersey, begin
ming a fourth term in the
House, urged her party COL
leagues to vote for a l5-member
committee.
"A vote to maintain the Is
member Rules Committee will
not be vote for President Ken
nedy's legislative program,
Mrs. Dwyer stated. But a vote
to return to the 12-member
committee will most assuredly
be seen as a vote against his
program-against all of it,
blindly and in advance even of
the opportunity for the House
to look it over.
Il hope my party will not
commit itself to a negative
course, but will retain it's free
dom to oppose or support leg
islation as the welfare of the
country may demand"
Mccormack, Smith Confer
While this further evidence of
some Republican disunity on
the Rules Committee issue de-
veloped, Speaker Mccormack fl
nally met late yesterday with
Rules Committee Chairman Ho-
ward w. Smith, of Virginia who
wants the committee to revert
to IL members.
According to authoritative
accounts, the conference in the
Speakers office was friendly,
but produced no unity on the
issue.
Both men reportedly prom
ised, however, to do all they
could to prevent bitterness
within Democratic ranks, ire
spective of the outcome of a
scheduled showdown vote when
the 88th Congress convenes
Wednesday.
Silent on Tactics
Mr.. Mccormack wants the
House to keep the committee at
is members as a means Of safe
guarding Kennedy administra-
ton measures from a possible
Republican and Southern Dem
ocratic coalition in a l2-member
committee.
