Winston Churchill Honorary Citizen •'

LONDON (UP!) — "We were terribly thrilled.” Lady Clementine Churchill spoke simply and sincerely for her husband, Sir Winston Churchill, who had just been proclaimed an honorary citizen of the United States. The couple watched the citizenship ceremony Tuesday on television at their Hyde Park home. They saw President Kennedy in Washington confer the unprecedented accolade upon the former wartime prime minister in a broadcast beamed across the Atlantic via the U.S. Relay space satellite. —— Sir Winston, 88, and Lady Churchill sat alone in the darkened room. Honorary U.S. Passport U.S. Ambassador David K. E. Bruce planned to give Churchill an honorary U.S- passport, the only one of its kind, in an informal presentation tonight. Sir Winston leaves Thursday for a vacation in Monte Carlo, where he broke his left thigh in a fall last June 28. Millions in Britain, five other Western European countries and Communist Hungary and Czechoslovakia watched the broadcast or expected to see it in taped rebroadcasts. There was no statement from Sir Winston at his London home. He seemed to feel that his message to Kennedy, read in Washington by his son Randolph, would be sufficient. Crowd Cheers Him The message expressed “solemn and heartfelt thanks for this unique distinction” and praised British - American cooperation for leadership among the world’s democracies. A large crowd of Londoners waited outside Churchill’s home in hopes of catching a glimpse of the • man who led them through the dark hours of World War 11. They were not disappointed. Sir Winston came to the open win-

Donovan Hopeful Os Return Os Americans HOMESTEAD AFB, Fla. (UPD —Attorney James B. Donovan said Tuesday talks with Cuban Premier Fidel Castro left him “very optimistic about the early return” of the remaining Americans imprisoned in Cuba. Donovan made the remark after his return from Havana with nine American fishermen and a California missionary whose release he negotiated from Castro over the weekend. The New York attorney said he thought there were 22 or 23 Americans still in Cuban prisons but he isn’t certain because “they’re going in faster than I can get them out of Cuba ” Donovan said he found Castro “very courteous." He spent several days with the bearded Cuban leader, seeking the release of the nine fishermen. Their freedom was obtained, Donovan said, when he presented documentary proof the men were fishermen and not American spies. The nine crewmen of the 100foot fishing boat “Shrub,” which sank in the Bahamas Jan. 25, looked ill-clothed and thin when they stepped from a special Pan American World Airways flight. They said they had spent 67 days in Cuban jails, 43 of them in solitary confinement. The skipper of the group, Jack W. Browne of Miami, 45, said the men were bound for fishing spots off the Dominican Republic when the Shrub sank in heavy seas. They took to a whaleboat and drifted for five days before they landed, hungry and sunburned, on the coast of Camaguey Province in Cuba, Browne said. Browne said the men went through “rough” questioning at the hands of Castro’s G-2 agents, then were jailed on spy charges.

TAX COMMITTEE (Continued from Page One) observers with the “daily optimism” over an early solution to the revenue problem. Ristine expressed a hope one of them will gain acceptance. The Senate Republicans suddenly decided to quit waiting on a tax conference committee to produce a plan and decided instead to lay the various plans out for a vote as amendments to an existing bill. Die plan which observers believed had the best chance of acceptance was proposed by Sen. John Shawley, R-Michigan City It would bring in an estimated $245 million above anticipated revenues under existing taxes. Would Raise Gross It calls for an increase in the present gross income tax rate on individuals from 1% to 2% per cent. Accompanying it would be an increase in exemptions from SI,OOO to $1,500 per taxpayer. The Shawley plan also called for hiking the three-eighths of one per cent rate for retailers to onehalf of one per cent but left the 1% per cent rate for service businesses unchanged. Earlier, leaders in the legislature were told that even to reenact the present bienial budget for the next two years would require $42.3 million in extra revenue. John Hatchett, former state budget director who now heads the Department of Administration, said if the lawmakers tried to leave the present budget unchanged and carry it over for the 1963-64 biennium it would leave a big gap between appropriations and anticipated income from present tax sources. “This would obviously be a tragedy,” Hatchett said. His statement eame as the newest revenue plan in the special session's efforts to solve its financial problems in the 91st day of the 1963 Legislature failed to win general approval and was scrapped. Meanwhile, the tax conference committee resumed its efforts to find something agreeable to the majority of legislators, and Democrats on the committee discussed the matter with Governor Welsh this morning. Hatchett said social security payments for teachers and state employes, increased by law, would require $8 million more the next two years than the current two years, and welfare programs would require $5 million more. He said the present general fund budget is $586 million and the expected revenue the next two years is $556.7 million, which would leave a gap of $29.3 million. Hatchett said if the 1963-64 budget were reduced $29.3 million below the present budget, local property taxes would have to absorb a substantial - share of the loss since essential state functions have no other revenue source while local schools do.

Diey escaped unharmed. More than 200 firemen and 50 pieces of equipment responded to the call and all available men were summoned to aid in fighting the blaze. Burning emliers swirled in a brisk morning breeze and set numerous fires in the Grand Truck Railroad yard and at a school and coal yard. Destroyed in the first was Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church. About a half-dozen automobiles in the area were destroyed as debris from the burning plant crashed down on them. The Duncan Steel Co. also was badly damaged by fire. A school connected to the church was damaged by water and smoke as was the home where the sisters who taught in the school lived. At the church, all that remained standing were the twin spires and a few stained glass windows. The inside of the brick church was burned out.
