Khrushchev in Berlin
For Party Congress

BERLIN. Jan. IA (AP). -
Premier Khrushchev arrived in
East Berlin in a snowstorm to-
night for the East German
Communist Party Congress
which gives him a chance to
air his quarrel with the Chi
nese Reds.
The special train bringing
the Soviet leader from Poland
pulled into the flag decked sta
tion. where he was greeted by
Walter Ulbricht, the East Ger
man Communist leader, and
other Communist dignitaries.
Mr.. Khrushchev's train was
covered with Ice and snow.
The visit gives the Soviet
leader a chance 10 do three
things:
See for the first tim e
the Communist wall running
through Berlin.
Make some pronouncement
or proposal concerning a Berlin
settlement with the West.
And blast the Chinese Com
munists and ask support from
his European party associates
Tor his own foreign policy line.
Mr.. Khrushchev's host for the
past two days-Poland's Red
jarty leader Wladyslaw Co
nulka--arrived earlier in the
lay at the ostbahnhof Ceast

Jlbricht.

notably by trimming the size
of the proposed cuts and by
delaying their impact on the
economy.
The most important point to
the President is that taxes
must be cut this year to move
the United States "along the
path to a higher rate of growth
and full employment"
Tax System Obsolete
The economy is doing well,
the President told Congress,
but performance still is not
good enough. He laid the heavi-
est blame on "our obsolete tax
system which exerts too
heavy a drag on private pur-
chasing power, profits and en-
ployment,"
Lower taxes, he said, would
generate items of billions Of
dollars more each year in pro-
duction, profits. wages and
public revenues" by increasing
purchasing power, encouraging
investors to take risks and
.heightening incentives for
harder work.

The President called for re-
ducing individual income tax
rates. which now range be-
tween 20 and 81 per cent, to "a
more sensible range" Of IA to
IS per cent.
Individual tax cuts would
aggregate $11 billion. The
other $2.5 billion reduction
would come from reducing the
corporate income tax rate from
So per cent to AZ per cent.
This years first stage tax
cuts would total $6 billion.
Mr.. Kennedy proposed that
these reductions be accompan-
led by reforms effective next
year that would offset some
$3.5 billion of the decreases, re-
ducing the Governments total
revenue loss to about $40 bill
lion a year when the full pro-
gram is in effect.
Would Spur Growth
He declared that spurring
economic growth by revising
the tax structure is "the most
urgent task" confronting Con-
gress this year, overshadowing
all other domestic problems.
In the foreign field, the
President said hopes for peace
must be tempered with caution.
He defined the present situa-
ton as "a moment of pause"
instead of a promise of peace"
Emphasizing a mote Of
hope" however, he declared:
I'VE are not lulled by the
momentary calm Of the sea or

cuts spread over three years,
and the first reductions prob
ably will not take effect before
midsummer of 1868.
Moreover, the Presidents
plan for a total net reduction
of $40 billion falls far short
of the amounts advocated by
some theorists. They expect
unemployment to remain above
| 5 per cent of the labor force
at least through 1868, even if
Congress quickly grants all the
tax cuts proposed by Mr..
Kennedy.
Responding to pressure by
conservatives-especially Chair
man Mills of the House Ways
and Means Committee - the
President appears to be trying
hard to minimize the tax pro-
grams impact on the Federal
budget.
The conservatives are reluc-
tant to cut taxes when the
budget is running at a deficit
even though many economists
argue that bigger deficits would
be healthy now.

this simple film touches a
major chord of faith with an
irrepreSSible joyouSneSS.
The unsentimental, or I'M
sticky, charm of ''LilieS of the
Field" is to be found in the fact
that 1t is more human than re-
igiouS. Essentially it is the
story Of a earefree spirit,
Potter, who is a long way from
heaven and quite sure that the
trip there is less worth the
effort than people try to tell
him.
Narratively and pictorially,
this is set forth with all the
simplicity and cheerfulness at
the command Of Ralph Nelson
who produced and directed it.
Source Of the film is a novella
by William E. Barrett, who
called it THE Left Hand of
God" It has been adapted for
the screen by James Poe, whose
Immediately precedent work
was the film version Of Lillian
Hellman's psychotic parable.

Fortifying the inspiration of

by Jerry Goldsmith who can see
no reason why sacred music
should not be used amusingly.
