Kennedy Harpoons Own Tax Program

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Presi-, dent Kennedy appeared today to have harpooned his own tax re-' form program. Kennedy surrendered Monday whatever leverage he might have had for prodding a reluctant Congress into enactment of some revenue-boosting tax reforms. He did so by saying that he was willing to abandon every one of his tax reforms, if necessary, to win enactment this year of a net income tax reduction of $lO billion or more spread over three years. This had been implicit all along. But the fact that the President publicly acknowledged it strengthened the position of those battling against the tax-tighten-ing reforms. Undermines Committee Head Conversely, it undermined the position of Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., of the House Ways & Means Committee, who was largely responsible for persuading Kennedy to include “tax reforms” with his tax reduction program. Mills declined comment on Kennedy’s statement. But no one doubted that the veteran lawmaker was unhappy over the President's latest tax pronouncement. Some lawmakers were puzzled as to why the President was taking a line that could not help but hurt his own relations with Mills, who presumably will be called upon to carry the legislative ball for the tax cut. Gravely Concerned One theory was that Kennedy had become gravely concerned over his failure to generate public enthusiasm for tax cuts and felt he should try to whip up support by holding out the possibilBirths At the Adams county memorial hospital: Jack L. and Jacqueline Gleason O’Dell, Berue, are the parents of a baby boy born today. The baby was born at 5:50 a. m. and weighed 8 pounds and 15 ounces. Hospital Admitted , Miss Eva Sprunger, Berne; Mrs. Opal Kehrn, Berne; Mrs. James Zintsmaster, Decatur; Mrs. John W. Beal, Southview nursing home, Bluffton. Dismissed Baby Christine McDougall, Deca-' tur: Mrs. S. Oren Woodward and baby girl, Berne; Mrs. Alpha, Fenstermaker, Geneva.

ity that the reforms — distasteful to groups affected — would be jettisoned in the final bill. At any rate, Kennedy at a question-and-answer session before a group of bankers asserted that Congress might jettison all of the tax reforms. He said he would certainly support such a move if it were necessary to get tax reduction enacted this year. “Nothing should stand” in the way of a tax cut this year, Kennedy said. “The first priority is a bill.” Leading Characters, Chorus Meet Tonight All principal characters and members of the chorus of the Jaycee-sponsored production of “The Music Man”, are to meet this evening in the Central Soya main office basement at 7 o'clock.
