Packard, executive vice president of the council, said the major responsibility for the “lamentable situation" shown in the table “lies in the large federal budgets we have enacted over the years." He said big budgets have booated personal and corporate income taxes and federal excise taxes. “Everybody understands how income taxes cut into their income." Packard said. “But many people think that corporate income taxes don't affect individuals. “The truth is that corporate income taxes become part of the cost of doing business, just as the cost of materials, labor and overhead. Whenever the federal government raises corporate income taxes or federal excise taxes, and result is higher prices. This follows as the day follows night.” 1 Packard concluded that the only way to safeguard the value of the dollar is to cut the budget and put

a constitutional ceiling on income tax rates. “That would force the administration—any administration — to live within its means and stabilize the purchasing power of a man’s Income,” Packard said Since 1939 the council has been spearheading, a movement for a constitutional amendment to put a ceiling on income tax rates. To date, Packard said. 33 states have petitioned Congress to submit such an amendment for ratification. which would require the approval of 36 states. Marvin Stucky To Enter Harvard U. Marvin W.

Biggest Fight Still Looms On Civil Rights Southerners Lose Major Battle Over Civil Rights Issue WASHINGTON (UP) — The South has lost a major battle in the Senate for the first time over civil rights legislation, but has not yet lost the war. The biggest battles are still to come and probably will tie up the Senate during most of July in a filibuster. But even then, the chances that southern Democrats can defeat the bill will be much less bright than in past years. Supporters of the proved administration civil rights bill won a first-round victory in the 1957 struggle Thursday night. By a vote of 45-39, the Senate refused to follow normal procedure and send the House bill to its Judiciary Committee, where a similar measure has been bottled up since last winter. The effect of this vote was to hold the bill in the Senate, where it efen be taken up by a majority vote like any bill reported by a Senate committee. The motion to take up the bill is not expected until shortly after the July 4 holiday. Because that motion will be subject to filibuster, it can, in fact, be carried only if supporters of the bill can muster the 64 votes required to shut off debate under the Senate’s anti-filibuster rule. Thursday night’s vote did not represent a true test on the civil rights issue because it came on a procedural question and involved a departure from Senate custom. For instance, a number of northern and western Democrats, such as Sens. John F. Kennedy (Mass ), Mike Mansfield (Mont.) and Wayne L. Morse (Ore.), who favor civil rightsN legislation, lined up with If* M them bloc. They believed the bill should have been referred to committee and an attempt made Jater to discharge it if the committee failed to act. In all, 11 Democrats and 34 Republicans voted against referring the bill to committee; 34 Democrats and 5 Republicans voted for referral. The vote came after eight hours of debate on a move formally launched -by Senate GOP Leader William F. Knowland. The Senate Was functioning under procedure which, did not permit unlimited debate or filibuster, so the vote could not be delayed indefinitely. Reception Honors Pastor And Family & A reception in honor of the Rev. Virgil Wesley Sexton and his family was held Wednesday evening in the social rooms of the First Methodist church. Rev. Sexton was recently returned as pastor of the church. Lowell J. Smith, lay leader of the church, was in charge of arrangements for the affair, which was attended by approximately 75 members.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith gave future plans of the men’s and women's organizations of, the church, respectively, after which Rev. and Mrs. Sexton each spoke briefly. Robert Sprague and Katie Smith each presented vocal solos, after which, group games were participated in. Later, refreshments of ice cream, cake, coffee and punch were serevd by the Women’s association of the church.

Congress to exercise their own good judgment,” Jensen said. Jensen, a member of the budgetcutting House Appropriation Committee, has rict always seen eye-to-eye with the President. But after today's breakfast be said: “He’s a great guy. He always seems willing to give members of Congress the privilege of voting their convictions and still staying in the President’s good graces.” House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. said vacation talk came up at his table. Most of the New Englanders at the table took advantage of the "wide - open oooortunity to proselyte for their local Chamber of Commerce” in the hope of luring the President to New England, Martin said. Rep Robert H. Michel (HI.) who attended the Young Republican National Federation convention in Constitution Hall Thursday night while the President was there, mentioned the discussion of rock ‘n’ roll. One of the performing groups on the stage Thursday night was a band which specialized in rock ‘n’ roll. The freshman congressman from Illinois said he was happy to learn from this morning's breakfast table talk that the President "is light of heart enough to appreciate rock ‘n’ roll." White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said the President is paying for the breakfasts “out of his own pocket” because he "prefers to hate these people down as personal guests.”
