By United Presi International Communist China and North Viet Nam today rejected President Johnson's plan for peace in Viet Nam. Soviet leaders made it clear they would not support any peace talks until the United States stops bombing North Viet Nam. A statement attributed to North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh reiterated demands the United States withdraw its troops from South Viet Nam. Peking said Johnson's call for ‘‘unconditional discussions” of a peaceful settlement was a trick ‘‘overflowing with lies and deceit” to induce the Viet Cong to stop fighting, “It is an old device presented in new’ form for the sole purpose of alluring the South Vietnamese people to lay down their arms and cease their struggle so that U. S. troops may stay on in South Viet Nam to continue their acts of aggression and intervention there,” the Chinese statement said. “The United States, for all its lip service to peace, is preparing for a bigger war.” Communist China described Johnson's proposed aid program for Southeast Asia as “a dream to strike a political bargain with a billion dollars and quantities of surplus farm products.” Peking said the plan “could not possibly soften the Vietnamese people’s resistance.” North Viet Nam’s official Communist newaspaper echoed the, Peking line. “The bellicose nature of the U. S. imperialists has been exposed.” Hanoi said. “They again resorted to the old trick of goodwill for peace and etonomic aid while brandishing the threat to continue using force as a means toward negotiations.” The Soviet position was reflected in continuing attacks against U. S. policies in Viet Nam by the three top Kremlin leaders — Premier Alezei N. Kosygin, party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev and President Anastas Mikoyan. Pease Elected WV/I Commander Fred Pease, who has been i leader in Greencastle American Legion activities for many years, has been elected Sixth District Commander of World War I Veterans. Other WWI district officers for the coming year are: Paul Herod, of Coatesville, Senior Vice Comander: Monroe Whitmoyer, Lebanon, Junior Vice Commander.

By agreement, the Senate was to vote promptly after its routine business on an amendment which would assure court review of the bill’s constitutionality. The Senate was to meet at 10 a. m., EST. Administration lieutenants were alerting senators for a final vote in mid-afternoon. Tbe strategy was to obtain
Senate approval of the bill in precisely the form it was passed by the House March 26. thus routing it directly to the White House for President Johnson’s signature. Key aid programs under the bill — the first major aid measure in history for elementary and secondary schools — would give federal help, indirectly, to private schools, including church - connected institutions. These provisions have raised the constitutional issues of church-state separation in the Senate,
WASHINGTON UPI — Internal Revenue Commissioner Sheldon Cohen says the government is thinking about a “graduated withholding” plan to help taxpayers come out even on
April 15.
Cohen told newsmen Thursday that the proposal would increase the amount withheld as income rises and decrease it when paychecks got smaller. The Internal Revenue Service chief said that House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Wilbur Mills, D-Ark., was sympathetic to such a plan, which would requir® congressional approval. Hie withholding problem has attracted considerable attention this year because of the many underwlthholdmg cases due to the tax cut.
