Shop Takes Back
Girls Skunk After
Airing in Court

The household of Gaylord
Anderson at 314 Cornwall road,
Fairfax, Va. was legally skunk
less today after an airing in
the Districts Small Claims
Court.
The star of the suit-a g.
month-old deodorized skunk
was bought last month by Mr..
Anderson's daughter Gayle, IT.
from the South East Pet Shop,
631 Pennsylvania avenue Sc,
with $35 she had saved. from
her allowance money.
But the skunk. referred to in
court papers as a nocturnal
animal" was rejected by her
parents.
Thomas J. ScanIon, Mr.. An
derson's attorney, said the
skunk was unwanted solely on
grounds that Gayle's menagerie
was growing too large. She
also owns a poodle, a cat and a
parakeet. he said.
The case was brought into
court after the pet shop refused
to take back the animal. The
shop owner. Roger Reinhardt
changed his mind when Mr.
Scanlon convinced him the girl
was a minor and could not be
held to her sale.

sibility, they would involve
years of preparation, plus sew

hundreds of millions of dollars
per successful experiment" he
said.
AS a practical matter, he
said illegal testing in outer
space is not a reasonable prop
osition for the Russians. In the
lower atmosphere, he said, even
very small explosions can be
detected.
He said illegal tests in the
upper atmosphere - above six
miles - would run q high risk
of detection, and would not
produce much information. He
said almost any secret under
water test could be detected.
AS Mr.. Rusk stressed the day
before, Mr.. Mcnamara said
American laboratories would be
prepared to resume testing If
the Russians suddenly broke
the treaty. The United States
would not be caught flat-fo
as it was in the fall OF 1861, he
said.
He said acceptance Of the
limited test ban indicated that
Russian leaders have "grasped
an essential fact - that the
sheer multiplication of a ma
tons destructive nuclear ca
pability does not necessarily
produce q net increase in its
security"
He noted that, as President
Kennedy has said, a full nu-
clear exchange lasting less than
so minutes, with the weapons
now in existence, could wipe out
more than 800 million Ameri-
cans, Europeans and Russians"
A limited test ban, he said,
is only a beginning, but it will
retard the proliferation of
weapons to other countries, and
it should provide a test Of Rus
sian intentions without rum
ming a very high risk.

tab; q $4,000 a year man 1925
from his present ,$3,41O: and
$4,000 a year man $2,207 from

Taxpayers at the high and
low ends of the scales would
get the biggest proportionate
saving.
Present rates range from 20
per cent on the first $4,000 of
taxable income to 81 per cent
on income over 100000
Under the Treasury proposal,
the bottom $4,000 bracket
would be split into four $500
brackets, taxed at IL, is, Is.
and II per cent. The climb in
rates would stop at incomes
over 100000, which would be
taxed at 70 per cent.
Rates in between would be
scaled down. Lowest income
taxpayers would get an addi-'
tional break from q new mini
mum standard deduction.
Mr.. Dillon said taxpayers in
what Is now the lowest bracket
would save an average of 22.5
per cent of their tax; all tax
payers with taxable incomes
$4,000 or lower would save an
average of l5.5 per cent and
top bracket taxpayers would
save an average of % per cent.
Two-thirds Of the savings
for individual taxpayers, I'M

rotary Dillon, the revised pro.
posals would result in a net
reduction Of $l0.645, 100000 ii
individual and corporate tai
rates by 1865. In contrast, Mr.
Keinedy's proposals in January
were estimated to, net a $10.-
s2O.OOO.OOO reduction,
Thus, the administration re.
shaped its rate reduction pro-
posals to come up with APP
proximately the same net result
after taking into account
changes made by Sthe commit
tee in the Presidents revenue
raising proposals.
A major factor, Mr.. Dillon
said. was the committees re-
lection Of a 5 per cent floor
under itemized deductions
This provision would have cut
down itemized deductions-for
local taxes, interest. charity
and Likely allowing only the
amount in excess Of 5 per cent
of q taxpayers income.
So Billion Pickup Lost
BY rejecting it. the committee
wiped out more than two
thirds of the So billion pickup
in revenue the Treasury had
counted on in its original tax
proposal. The committee did
not restore in a sense a pickup
Of about $500 million by dis
allowing certain State taxes,
principally those on gasoline,
cigarettes and liquor.
Both committee actions were
reflected in the new Treasury
proposal. In effect it dropped
the earlier administration pro-
posal for a floor under the
itemized deductions, and went
along with the committees plan
to end deductions Of certain
State taxes.
Under the plan, State and To-
cal real estate, general sales
and income taxes was well as
mortgage interest and chart
table contributions would be
fully deductible.
The pattern of economic de-
velopment since the Presidents
message in January has served
to confirm the need for a net
tax reduction Of sos billion,
Mr.. Dillon said. He added:
while progress so far this
year has been somewhat better
than earlier expectations, the
outlook for reducing unemploy-
ment, In the. absence of sub
stantial tax reduction, has cer-
tainly not improved. With the
postwar baby boom beginning
to reach the labor market,
unemployment is bound to in
crease unless we release the
economy from the shackles i'm
posed by our present high in
come tax structure"
The tax rates advanced by
Mr.. Dillon range from IA to 70
per cent in place of the 14-to-
IS spread originally proposed.
Present rates run from 20 to
81 per cent.
The Treasury figured that
under its proposals a married
man with two dependents who
earns $4,000 a year and claims
average deductions would save
$65 Of his present $500 a year

United States no longer needs
to test In order to "weaponize"
a variety of ABM warheads.
In Same Boat on BIackOut'
In addition, larger warheads
can be improved by under
ground testing under the treaty,
he said.
Mr.. Mcnamara said both the
United States and Russia have
had about the same experience
in testing the "blackout prob
lem" This concerns the effect
Of a nuclear explosion on COM
munications and radar net
works.
He said theoretical analysis
of present data will yield the
necessary information without
the need for further testing in

Thus" he concluded, with
or without a test ban, we could
proceed with the development
Of an anti-ballistic missile sys-
tenn"
Mr., Mcnamara said he also
was confident that no Soviet
ABM system could defend
against American attack. THE
United States will continue to
have the capability - and the
Soviets know that we will con-
tinue to have the capability -

$500 Million Annual Cost
In his testimony, Chairman
Macy said the administrators
bill would carry an annual
price tag of $500 million.
The six-month cost for this
fiscal year. figuring on a start
ing date in January, would be
$254 million. This is over and
above the cost for the second
step of the pay raises already
voted by Congress.
Representative Gross wanted
to know where the money is
coming from "for all these

Isardonically that the Govern
lment could borrow some funds
from one Of the international

In support Of the admins

"The United States has nu-
clear superiority. We are de-
termined to maintain that SUI
periority. In order to achieve
10, we maintain a total number
el nuclear warheads, tactical
as well as strategic, in the tens
OF thousands" he said.
Mr.. Mcnamara revealed that
the United States now has
more than 500 undetermined
intercontinental missiles, and
will have more than l,700 by
1865. In addition, he said, SOC
long-range Strategic Air Com
n1and bombers are on 15-min-
ute alert.
Soviet Power
BY comparison, he said the
Russians have fewer than $50
bombers that could attack this
country, and are estimated to
have today only a fraction as
many ICBMs" as the United
States. American intelligence
estimates the Russians have
100 to $50 ICBMs and 100
missiles that are launched from
surfaced submarines and have
only a short range.
The Soviet Union is not ex-
pected to have more than 1000
ICBMs by 1868.
Mr.. Mcnamara also noted
the tremendous stockpile the
United States now possesses
Of nuclear explosives for varied
tactical purposes. In this high
ly sophisticated class of weap-
onry, the United States is far
ahead in design, diversity and
numbers, Mr.. Mcnamara said.
The Russians are technology
cally ahead of the United
States in development of o high
yield, l00-megaton bomb, Mr.,
Mcnamara conceded. But, he
said, this "superbomb" has
limited military usefulness and,
in fact, is inferior to smaller
weapons Of 20 to 40 megaton
yield that are cheaper to make,
easier to deliver on a target,
and harder to defend against.
a. 100 megaton bomb - de-
spite its mammoth destructive
power - cannot destroy all I'M
