cast. What happens then?
A. I don't think there is any
possibility of this happening
Every time we have cut taxes 1t

@. You m entioned earlier
about the Senate committee In
relation to the tax bill. Is there
any underlying factor?
A. I have a feeling that once
the House has passed the bill
then the picture will become
much clearer to people around
the country and think there
will be much greater interest in
having the Senate get a bill out
fast than there has been in the
House.
Support Expected
I think the most important
support now will come from
organized groups, the business
community, for instance, and
labor.
@. Has there been any PLAN
ming from your point of view
on basic reforms in the inter-
national monetary system?
A. We have been studying all

cation tax, which would apply
to the purchase Of foreign Sc
curities by Americans. Do you
care to comment?
A. 1t probably is a fair state
ment that the reaction in Can
ada was more extreme than
we had anticipated, though we
had known there would nat
urally be some reaction there
because they were the big bor-
rowers down here.
We had felt they coulG ad-

That is the only place where I
think there was any surprise to
us. The reactions elsewher
were about as we expected.
First Step in Decades
@. Do you feel Congress has
imposed on your time in re-
questing your appearance some
60-odd times in the past seven
months?
A. No, I don't, because the
great bulk of them have been

think it is a very funda-
mental and very important
objective which will do more
for our economy and more for
curing our unfavorable balance
of payments than any step Il
know.
@. Would you like to see the
debt ceiling handled in a Diff
ferent manner?
A. I do think that there has
grown up some confusion over
the purpose of the debt ceiling.
People have come to think it's
meant to control expenditures.
OF course, that Is not so. 1t
was created originally after the
First World War to allow us to
finance without going to Con-
gress to have every single loan
approved.
1t has been only in the last
IS years, that there has been
this effort to hold the debt lin
1t down tightly to estimates
under the theory that this will
control expenditures.
Congress Approval Needed
However, this isn't the case
since the expenditures are all
undertaken only with the ap-
proval Of Congress.
q. Some Republicans h ave
said the President would not
have much trouble passing the
tax cut bill If he agreed to put
on the shelf some of his pro-
grams not involving d defense
and space. Would this be good
tactics, since it is evident some
of these will not be passed at
this session.
A. 1t Is very clear that a
number of these programs are
not at all likely to be enacted,
not necessarily for reasons of
e economy only but-for in
stance-the problem of edu-
bills in view Of the re-
ligious controversy.
So I think a request for a
statement like this is political
In nature and is not economic,
because those who make the
request know the programs are
not going to pass in any event

Official Of U.N. Supports
IsroeI's Charges VS.. Syrio

Gen. Bull reported he had taken
various steps ito alleviate tension
and restore peace and tranquility
in the area" These steps include
UN investigations of the border
area to a depth of a little more
than six miles to see what weapons
each of the opposing military
forces has. Certain heavy weap-
onS are not permitted to either
side in the demilitarized zone.
The UN official also reported he
had proposed to both sides an ex-
change of prisoners held by each.
He said that Syria is holding eight
ISraelis, while Israel is holding 10
prisoners. In addition, he noted
Syria is also still holding the three
ISraelis, man and two women
taken by the Syrians when the
motorboat in which the IsraeliS
were riding, on Lake Tiberias,
foundered. Israel charges these
three IsraeliS were kidnapped.
Gen. Bulls report stated that,
according to the evidence at our
disposal" the disabled motorboat
had landed on the eastern shore
of Lake Tiberias due to circum-
stances" beyond the control of the

U. S. Should Ra+ify
Genocide Convention
Official Emphasizes

STARLIGHT, Pa. - The United

progress at home with a step to

ratification of the genocide con-

DIR. William Korey, director of
the New York bureau of the B'nai

that "at a time when racial bar

corollary that American endorse
ment of this modern declaration
of international freedom is still
lacking" He spoke before 400
delegates to the joint convention

Birth Girls.
He said that though 81 nations
have already ratified the United

U.N. Observers Saw Tracks Left
by Syrians; Bull Proposes
Prisoner Exchange
At the spot where the two Is

This evidence included spent Syri-

proof that the infiltratorS had

complaint, that the Israelis had
used armOred cars in the demil-

Reports Indicote
Jews Are Denied
SuncHfied Burial

LONDON - Fresh details on re-
ports that Jews in Moscow were
being refused permits to give their
departed a traditional JEWS h
burial were received here Tuesday
from the Soviet capital.
The reports indicated that while
Moscow officials had allocated a
new site for a cemetery because
one of the biggest Moscow cemeter-
les was full, the new site has no
place within it for a Jewish ceme-
terry section.
Earlier reports were confirmed
that the large general cemetery on
Vostrakovskoe Street, which has
within it conSecrated Jewish bur-
ial ground, was full, as was the
Jewish section. 1t was also reported
that the fact that the Jewish Sec
ton has no more room for graves
was not announced in advance and
there were incidents when burial
groups arrived and were told on the
spot that there was no more room
in the Jewish section.
In some of the cases, the mourn
ers persuaded officials to permit
burial but in the others, burials
had to take place in mixed ceme.
