Top Brass Approves A-Test Pact WASHINGTON UPI—The nuclear test ban treaty appeared today to have cleared the major obstacle between it and Senate ratification by gaining endorsement by the Joint Chiefs of Stalf. The three-committee group holding hearings on the treaty called Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman of the Joint chiefs, to repeat in public lesLmony today wnal he said privately Wedncs-day-that the pact banning all but underground nuclear testing is “compatible witn tne security interests of the United States.” Taylor joined Dr. Glen Seaboig, chairman of the Atomic Fmi rgy Commission, and the secretaries of defense and state in endorsing the tie ty and calling foi Senate approval. Seaborg testified Wednesday before the three-committee panel that the strenuous objections of nuclear scientist Dr. Edward A. Teller were “not important enough to torego” tne treaty. Taylor said the criticisms Teller advanced had been considered by government advisers “over and over again.” The testimony of Taylor on Wednesday, and Teller the day before, before closed hearings of the Senate preparedness subcommittee was made public late Wednesday. One of the most telling points the Joint Chiefs made in favor of the treaty was their conclusion that deveiopnient of an anti-mis-sile defense system “does not depend on atmospheric testing" which is barred by the treaty. The pact would not “significantly influence any imbalance that may exist" between the United States and the Soviet Union, they said. The chief opposition the treaty has encountered since it was submitted for Semte ratification has been the question of whether the historic agreement would in any way compromise this country’s defenses.

House Committee Votes Income Tax Cuts For Everyone

Jackie's Activities Will Be Limited HYANNIS PORT, Mass. UPI —First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was in the starting stage today of a long convalescence that will keep her out of the official While House limelight until early next year. The President’s 34-year-old wife left the Otis Air Force Base Hospital Wednesday in “very satisfactory” condition. She had spent a w'eek there during w'hich her third child, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, was born and died less than two days later. Mrs. Kennedy had undergone her fourth Caesarean, and although weak and w'an looking she walked out of the hospital hand in hand w-ith the President. She smiled and seemed happy to be going home to Squaw Island and her children, Caroline, nearly 6, and John Jr., almost 3. Mrs. Kennedy is on the road to recovery, but her obstetrician, Dr. John W. Walsh of Washington, ordered her to cut out all official activities for five months “in order to insure her complete rehabilitation and continuing good health.”

WASHINGTON UPI — Democratic tax writers, having voted to cut everybody’s income taxes, planned today to scale down the relief that would go to taxpayers receiving sizable income from stock dividends. The House Ways & Means Committee Wednesday approved President Kennedy’s request for the biggest tax cut in history. Every taxpayers-individual and corporation-would share in the tax relief starting next Jan. 1 Their total tax savings would be somewhat greater than the net reduction of $10.6 billion recommended by Kennedy. Tax treatment of dividend income was the most controversial of the few remaining issues w'hich the committee hoped to settle today. The bill then would be ready for final drafting touches next week and expected House passage in September. Whether the Senate will complete action this year remained uncertain. Kennedy wants dividend income of stockholders taxed at the same rates that apply to W'ages and salaries. His proposal, designed to produce $370 million in new revenue, would leave untouched the existing tax exemption for the first $50-a-person in dividend income. Despite GOP opposition key Democrats claimed they had the votes to win committee approval of a compromise.

Dismissed Wednesday: Bar bara Wilson, Roachdale; Kenneth Mundy, F'illmore; Jerry M. Skinner, Florida; Wanda Gooch. Wanda Patton, Betty Poynter Maude Williams, Greencastle.

Mayor Daley's Home Picketed White and Negro civil rights demonstrators Wednesday picketed the home of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Djley, and integration leaders planned a meeting today to map their next move in the city’s turbulent racial scene. Other demonstrations marked the nation’s racial picture in the South, the Middle West and the East Wednesday, but there was a lull in the violence that erupted earlier in the w'eek. Five pickets marched in front of the home of Daley, last of the nation’s big city political bosses. They also picketed the home of Clair M. Roddewug, president of the city board of education. The protest centered on the use of mobile trailer-like school classrooms which the demonstrators contend perpetuate alleged de facto segregation in the city’s schools.
