Missiles From
Italy, Turkey
PoIuris Destined
To Provide Shield
For NATO Powers
BY the Associated Press

American-made Jupiter mis-
siles seem destined to be pulled
out of Turkey and Italy because
in only four years they have
become antiques Of the rocket
age.
Behind the scenes negotia-
tons point toward withdrawal
of 80 Jupiters from Italy and
is from Turkey.
When they are dismantled,
and so somewhat similar Thor
missiles are finally removed
from Britain, there will be no
more deep-striking land-based
ballistic missiles implaced in
NATO countries and aimed at
targets in Russia.
Instead, the NATO alliance
will rely on a multinational
force of Polaris submarines
mounting missiles that can be
fired at targets in Russia from
below the surface of the sea.
POlaris Range Longer
The Jupiters and Thors have
a range Of 1,500 miles. The
Polaris missiles, mounted on
submarines. have an 1,800-mile
range.
The multinational force may
not be a reality until close to
1870, but in the meantime the
United States has more than
enough long-range missile
power to shield the alliance.

President Kennedy today sent
Congress his bitter-sweet pro-
gram of big tax reductions and
tough tax reforms.
He estimated that his pro-
posals would cut individual in

come taxes by $8.6 billion-18
per cent for the average tax
payer = by 1865. Corporation
tax payments would drop 5000
million. Provisions affecting
both individuals and corpora
tions would reduce the Govern
ment's net revenue loss to $8.7
billion.
The President told Congress:
THE most urgent task facing
our Nation today is to end the
tragic waste of unemployment
and unused resources. The re-
vision of our Federal tax sys-
tenn on an equitable basis is
crucial to the achievement of
these goals
Now is the time to act" Mr..
Kennedy said. 1--WE cannot af-
ford to be timid or slow"
Asks Broad Reforms
Reform sections of the pro-
gram include revolutionary pro-
posals to limit tax deductions.
repeal the dividend credit and
exclusion, curtail oil and gas
depletion allowances, tighten
rules for claiming capital gains
benefits, tax gains from stock
options as ordinary income and
tax employees on the employers
contributions for group life in
surance premiums.
While the reforms mostly
would raise revenues, some
would cut taxes by boosting
standard tax deductions in low
income brackets, reducing tax
rates on capital gains, liberaliz-
ing tax rules for elderly persons
and increasing deductions fof
child care expenses.
But the big tax reductions
would come through rate cuts
Individuals would feel the
first impact of the three-year
program next July, when the
withholding tax rate would de-
cline from 18 to 15.5 per cent.
Tax rates for 1863 income
would range from 1875 to 84.5
per cent, down from the pres
ent range Of 20 to 81 per cent.
BY 1865, the range would
drop to ID to IS per cent.
Cut for Corporations
Corporation taxes would de,
cline from So per cent now to
so per cent in 1864 and Al per
cent in 1865. But accelerated
tax payments by corporations
would cost them S1.5 billion
annually for five years.
Taking account of both re-
ductions and reforms, the
President said taxes on indi-
viduals earnings up to $4,000
would be cut 80 per cent by
1865. The net reduction would
average 2l per cent in the
5000 to $4,000 range, Is per
cent for those earning $4,000
to $4,000, and 9 per cent over
$4,000.
The Treasury said a typical"
taxpayer with two
children, itemizing deductions,
would pay $245 Of taxes on
$4,000 gross income under the
proposed program. down from
$500 under existing law. At
$4,000 income. the tax would
decline from s1.196 to Sl,Ol4.
At $4,000, the tax would drop
from S3.4l0 to $2,952.

Changing the Navy Chief of Staff

we'll. The Korean War was
really lost to the West be-
cause the Joint Chiefs were
unduly influenced by civilian
presSureS.
During World War I and
World War II. on the other
hand, the chiefs Of the Army
and Navy sat at the Presi-
dents elbow. There was no
one between them and the
Commander in Chief. The
purpose of Congress in Gre
ating the Defense Depart
ment was primarily to secure
coordination in many mat
ters of administration, espe-
cially questions that are
largely of a non military ma
ture. 1t was never intended
that the Secretary of De-
fense would become virtual
ly a commander in chief Of
the Army, Navy and Air
Force.
But the formula now has
been broadened to permit
the Secretary of Defense to
take over many Of the duties
of the Commander in Chief
and, in effect, decide on the
strategy that shall be fol-
lowed. Thus he decides, for
instance, what apons
should be bought. Secretary
Mcnamara, it has just been
officially stated, made the
recommendation to President
Kennedy that Admiral An
derson be replaced and that
Gen. LeMay be appointed
for only / year instead OF
the normal 2-year term.
High officers who dare to
oppose the Secretary can be
deprived of promotions and
otherwise intimidated. 1t is
not a healthy situation for
the military operations Of
the United States. 1t could
impair the morale of mill
tary men throughout the
country.
A thorough investigation
of the usurpation of power
by the civilians in the De-
tense Department, from top
to bottom, is really needed.
For there is only one civil
ian who has been given the
power under the Constitu-
ton to govern the military
branch of the Government,
and that is the President Of
the United States-and there
is no power in the Constitu-
ton which enables him to
delegate military functions
to anybody but his subordi-
nate military officers.

In front Of the old SUBJ
treasury Building on Wall
Street there stands a statue
Of George Washington, mark
ing the spot on which the
first President took his oath
of office. Down the street Is
the New York Stock Ex-
change. In front Of the ex-
change someone ought to
erect a statue Of an eager
little man with a slightly
pointed head holding a fist
full of securities. The man
should be bare from the waist
up-symbolic Of those who
have lost their shirts in the
market.
Both George and the little
man deserve the respect of
the American people. George
nursed the infant Nation
through the hazard of fed
eralism on the right and
wild-eyed democracy on the
left until 1t learned how to
walk as aa republic. And the
shirtless one provided the free
market that produced q Wig
orous economy. You can't
have the right to win without
assuming the right to lose.
To millions of the unini-
tiated. Wall Street is a gi-
gantic poker game in which
the losers must balance off
the winners. This isn't true.
More can be won on Wall
Street than need be lost. For
this isn't q rigid game Of
deuces wild or spit-in-the-
ocean where a fixed amount
Of wealth merely changes

rise in one doesn't have to
mean a fall in another. Dis
counting temporary fluctua-
tions. over the long period,
the cumulative value Of all
securities traded has risen
enormously simply because
the wealth Of the country
has risen likewise.
But the trouble with a
stock exchange is that the
value OF a stock is judged not
simply in terms Of the finan-
cial health Of the company
or in the percentage OF its
dividend return. but also on
a much more rubbery theory
namely, what you think

Dropping of Anderson After One Term
In Favor of Mcdonald Is Criticized

Sooner or later, the Con-
gress Of the United States
will have to assume the re-
sponsibility specifically i'm
posed by the Constitution to
see to 1t that military func-
tions are performed hereafter
by military men and not by
civilian officials.
Was the latest change in
the Joint Chiefs of Staff a
rebuff to Admiral George w.
Anderson, jr., the head of
the United States Navy, be-
cause he courageously re-
fused to agree with the civil
ian Secretary of Defense on
military policies essential to
strategy? The episode has
focused attention on the con-
fusion in military planning
which prevails today.
While the President is
designated by the Constitu-
ton as the "Cominander-in-
Chief" of the armed forces,
it is the sole duty Of Congress
ito declare war to raise
and support armies to
provide and maintain a Navy
to make rules Tor the
Government and regulation
of the land and naval
forces"
Yet the role of Congress
seems to have been relegated
to that Of an investigator
after the damage has been
done. Military men with an
expert knowledge of strategy
are not permitted today to
decide what are the best
weapons. Civilians, with eyes
on the political effects de-
sired by the administration
for certain States with big
electoral votes, make the final
decisions.
The admiral had said un-
equivocally in his testimony
that it was his duty as a
naval officer to question the
wisdom Of the decision of
the Secretary Of Defense in
awarding the Tx aviation
contract. AS for the merits of
this dispute, Congress is look
ing into them now. 1t seems
unfortunate that an impress
sion should be conveyed that
Admiral Anderson actually is
being punished for adhering
to his sincere convictions as
a military man.

Shaping a oNATO NucIeor Policy

er, is instructive.
During his recent visit Mr..
Wilson received detailed and
confidential briefings on
American nuclear policy. AZ
ter these briefings he con-
fessed that he understood for
the first time what America
had In mind, and the dangers
in Europe that had to be
avoided. He saw that the real
danger was not the inde-
pendent French nuclear force
but the desire Of West Ger
many to have parity with
France in nuclear weapons.
Mr.. Wilson agreed with
American officials that Ger
many in coming years would
have the new weapons. The
practical choice, in terms Of
policy, is whether Germany's
nuclear power will operate
within the restraints and linz
It's of the NATO alliance or
whether 1t will be the unre-
strained servant of German
national ambitions. The lead

Germany welcome the Amer
ican initiative because 1t will
produce a system of cooper
alton which will enable West
Germany to become a nu-
clear power without adding
perilous strains to European
security. Russia would never
view an independent German
nuclear force with the de-
tachment which it has shown
toward the French force.
The present American plan
for a nuclear partnership, to
be broadened with expert
ence. is the best hope Of
avoiding a nuclear crisis over
Germany. That is, in fact.
the crowning merit Of the
American proposal.
Mr.. Wilson has now re-
served the right to reconsid-
er Britain's nuclear role in
the light Of changing condi-
tions in the NATO alliance.
