planned to introduce a bill Of
this kind in the House this
afternoon. He noted that a
somewhat similar provision was

eral aid to education.
But I am disturbed that the
administration has included
this in the huge and highly
controversial omnibus BILL" he
said. The administration
seems to be holding hostage
these popular and vital acts
(for aid to impacted areas) to
facilitate the enactment of new,
expensive and controversial pro-
grams in the field Of educa-
ton"
Legislation permitting Federal
assistance to such areas in
Guiding several in nearby Vir-
ginia and Maryland will expire
June 80 unless continued by
Congress. Mr.. Frelinghuysen
said there was no assurance
that Congress would approve
the administrations omnibus
aid to education program by
that time.
He noted also that the ad-
ministration has proposed ex-
tensive changes and some
in the impacted

planned that the committee has
not been told how many school
districts would be eliminated or
otherwise affected and has not
been presented with a ration

why Congress should act

Review affirmed the discharge

mits discharge in order to
promote the efficiency Of the
service"
Among the grounds listed
are criminal, Infamous, dis
honest. immoral, or VIGOROUSLY
disgraceful conduct"
In a majority opinion writ
ten by Judges George T. Wash
ington and John A. Danaher
the court held that the FAA
had properly exercised its dis
erection and that it was not
arbitrary to remove him for
his past conduct under the
circumstance.
The court said that past
conduct similar to this case
had been sustained in other
discharge cases.

has been variously estimated
from $40 billion on up to $40
billion by the end Of this
decade.
Mr.. Holmes estimate, given
to a House Space subcommit-
tee yesterday, did not represent
a new figure but was based on
more precise cost schedules
othan had been possible
previously.
But Mr.. Holmes cautioned,
as other top officials of the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration have done, that
any cut in the NASA budget
now means a showdown in the
moon schedule.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
AT Last: Student Job Clearance
Is on innocent Misunderstanding

jobs here would be affected by
the legislation. These are the
student trainee and inferno
jobs which have civil service
registers. The other 5000 jobs.
including clerks. typists and
other 700-hour temporary Jobs
and politically excepted posi-
tons. would not be subject to
the apportionment requirement
and still could be filled mainly
by students from the WASH
ington area.
Mr.. Beckworth said his bill
would remove the political pa
tronage aspect Of these summer
jobs-either personal patron
age by agency bureaucrats
hiring their own children OF
friends. or White House pa
tronage clearance-by requir-
ing competitive exams through
out the country.
At the close Of the hearing
Representative Dulski, Demo
crat Of New York. chairman OF
the subcommittee. predicted his
group will approve the bill. The
only dissenting vote is expected
to be cast by Representative
Broyhill. Republican Of Vir-
ginia.
Actually. the measure has q
very good chance OF being ap-
proved by Congress.
But IL probably would rur
into a veto by President Ken
nedy.
The Civil Service Commission
opposes the bill on the grounds
that II would deprive the Gov.
eminent OF some Of the best
talents among college students
Mr.. Macy disclosed that Of

SO. 900 are under the apportion.
ment sytem. The rest are ex.
empted under provisions in Tn,

How ashamed we are Of our

The administration after a

gres the real true blue reason
why such clearance Is required.
II isn't because Of patronage.

1Ile HOUSE ways ana Mea1S
Committee, which has heard
some 200 witnesses on President
Kennedy's tax cut and revision
proposals, starts next week the
even longer task of writing a
bill.
Informed guessing on Capitol
Hill is that the legis' alton will
go to the House for action in
June and that it will contain
more immediate tax reduction
than Mr.. Kennedy recommend
ed-about So billion - though
ultimately the reduction might
leve' off at about his long
range figure-$10.2 billion.
Moreover. most congressional
observers will be surprised If
the committee incorporates In
this years bill mort than a
minimum Of the tax revisions
that Mr.. Kennedy called neces-
sary reforms and recouping Of
some Of the revenue sacrificed
by slashing tax rates.
To Go Over Outlines
To provide tax cuts without
compromising tax revisions and
yet not swell too much an i'm
pending $l1.9 billion deficit. the
committee would have to fore
go rate reductions as deep as
Mr.. Kennedy recommended. In
steac of trimming the present
20 to 81 per cent personal in
come tax range as low as Mr..
Kennedy's proposed IA to IS,
the spread might have to be
more like is to rs.
The decisions on matters like
this are well in the future.
For the next two weeks, the
committee plans to go over
with Secretary Of the Treasury
Dillon and other officials the
general outlines of alternative
possible tax changes and the
argument aired during six
weeks of public hearings. Then
Congress will be taking its
week-long Easter recess. No
crucial committee votes are in
sight before May.
Mr.. Kennedy has made it
clear he is interested primarily
in an economy stimulating tax
cut and will not make diff
culties II Congress enacts this
only at the cost of shelving
much Of what he called his tax
reform program.
Floor Prime Target
The six-week-long hearings
highlighted some of the more
vulnerable parts of the pro-
gram. The last two days were
given over to an onslaught by
oil industry witnesses, Cover
nors of oil producing States and
others on proposals for tighten
ing some tax rules affecting the
industry, especially the con-
troversial 271s per cent de-
pletion allowance. This was
figured at $3.50 million COM
pensating revenue.
Earlier, q prime target had
been the Treasury proposal for
a floors per cent of income
under the personal deduction
that would be allowed individ-
ual taxpayers for OUTLAWS like
charitable contributions. mort
gage interest and local taxes.
The Treasury had calculated a
$2.S billion recovery from this
change.
AS the lengthy hearings
ended, Representative King,
Democrat of California, said too
many congressional hearings
have become a tedious waste
Of time and an occasion for
witnesses to build up lucrative
Mr.. King, the No. 2 Demo-
crat on the Ways and Means

challenge the main details Of

Therefore, the Governments

for having misunderstood.
After all. when Lawrence
