THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1965 THE MICHIGAN DAII Apoves Urban * Cabinet' Position WASHINGTON (P)-The House voted yesterday to create a new federal department to give the nation's cities a voice in the President's cabinet. The Senate is expected to go along, probably within a month, and President Lyndon B. Johnson is certain to sign the bill, creating the new department of housing and urban development. Like President John F. Kennedy before him, Johnson has said the cities must have a place in the front rank of government. The Democrats needed their better than 2-1 edge to get the bill through the House by a 217-184 vote. There were 66 Democratic defec- LABOR PARTY PROBLEMS: Britain's Wilson: Coming Disaster? Protest Note Sent by U.S. BERLIN (P) - In one of the angriest notes ever sent to the Soviet Union, the United States yesterday denounced the "sense- less, cold-blooded brutality" of East German guards who shot a West Berlin couple Tuesday., U.S. Ambassador George C. Mc- u Ghee, in a note to Pyotr Abrasi- mov, Soviet ambassador to East Germany, warned that the U.S. will take all necessary measures to protect life and property in the T.S. sector of West Berlin. "We will hold the Soviet au- thorities responsible for, whatever consequences may ensue from the actions of the East German au- thorities which give rise to such measures" McGhee said. Elke Martens was shot in the head and seriously wounded and. her fiance, Hermann Doebler, was killed while boating on a border canal.' The .official East German news agency ADN said the Soviet Em- bassy refused to accept McGhee's protest. The agency said an Amer- ican representative who tried tc deliver the letter was told that "such questions come under the SJurisdiction of the authorities of the (East) German Democratic Republic." ADN said the boat cruise was designed to create "political prov- ocation," that the couple intended to test alertness of East Germar border guards, and that Doebler -had been paid by masterminds. Denying this, McGhee said thai the East German regime was "anxious as always to cover up ts inhumanity." -tors-most of them from the South -and only nine Republicans aban- doned their leaders to support the White House. Still, House approval was con- sidered a legislative victory fbr Johnson. Twice in 1962, the House refused to support the project whenKennedy submitted it. In two days of easy going de- bate, Republicans attacked the bill as an effort to bypass the states. Instead, led by Rep. Florence P. Dwyer (R-NJ), they asked that a new office be established with- in the President's office to co- ordinate activities that bear on the cities. This proposal, offered -as an amendment by Mrs. Dwyer, was defeated on a standing vote of 91 to 65. Then, when Republicans moved to send the bill back to committee, substituting the Dwyer plan for the administration one, they were defeated on a roll call vote of 259 to 141. The bill would combine the ac- tivities of the Federal Housing Administration and the Federal National Mortgage Administration and other activities of the Hous-. ing and Home Finance Agency. e F By ARTHUR L. GAVSHON ] Associated Press Staff Writer] LONDON-Prime Minister Har- old Wilson seems in danger ofE sliding to electoral disaster. Only the most biased of his Conservative opponents would dare to write Wilson's political obituary yet. But the impression is spreading at home and abroad that his eight-month-old Labor, government is, fighting for its life{ and will be forced into a national election by the fall. Recent Developments Among the most recent develop- ments contributing to this impres- sion: Britain's international trade took a sharp turn for the worse during May, The nation for the fifth successive month spent more abroad than it earned. -The already wobbly pound sterling weakened again on world money markets. This pointed to a new financial crisis by October, when seasonal pressures on the pound are greatest. -Laborites claim they have brought Britain's trade deficit down this year to half the 1964 average, when the Conservatives were ruling. But they also confess the national performance still is not nearly good enough. With con- sumer price inflation, a falling production index and the pound on the slide, a tough new eco- nomic squeeze action is in the cards. This is unlikely to improve Wilson's standing with the public. Conservative Lead -A Gallup poll published last week gave the Conservatives a 4.5 per cent lead over the Labor- ites-enough to put them bask into power if an election were held now. In the previous poll Labor led the Conservatives by 1.8 points. -A bookmaker specializing in election betting shortened the odds on a Conservative victory in the next election to 4 to 6 and offered 11 to 10 against a Labor victory. What has gone wrong for Wil- son? To begin with, he scraped into office last October with a margin of only three votes in the 630- member House of Commons. Fiscal Crisis He inherited a massive fiscal crisis that compelled him to raise a series of multi-billion-dollar loans to sustain the pound against devaluation. Ever, since, his administration has looked as if it were trying to do the splits between short-term emergency measures and long- term measures promised in its election program. One result: Labor has failed to fulfill the excessive expectations aroused during the campaign. Instead of the brave new society in which inefficiency, frustration and selfishness was to vanish, Britain has seemed to stumble and' bumble along from one crisis to another. Instead of creating a revitalized Britain, the government, playing for time, has had to make do with policies that have a secondhand look. Instead of sounding Britain's voice loud and clear in world councils as Wilson pledged to do, Labor has seemed in its defense and foreign polidies to be even more conservative than the Con- servatives. Wilson has had to retreat on several fronts. A bill to outlaw racial discrimination has been watered down. The nationalization of steel has been indefinitely shelved, as have plans for the state to take over urban building land. New housing has lagged. Imports have reached record levels and exports remain sluggish. Prices go on rising. Agreement Reached To Cut Excise Taxes WASHINGTON VP) - Senate-House conferees late yesterday agreed on a $4.6 billion tax cut bill wiping out most of the excises dat- ing from wartime and the depression years of the 1930's. Congressional leaders said they hope to rush the bill to President Lyndon B. Johnson by tonight, with the House acting as soon as it con- venes today and the Senate following. Sen. Russell B. Long (D-La), Senate manager for ,the bill, said the President might sign it tomorrow. If that is the case, the first stage cuts, affecting a whole series of major consumer items, would go into effect Saturday. The Senate voted to make this first stage ef- r DAILYOFFICIAL 8B IEN ..E... ri .... . ...? ......,..:...."} .n {":"P"'h '. {i SWorld News Roundup By The Associated Press NEW YORK - An engineers strike against 184 United States merchant ships poses a long-range threat to the American-flag trans- Atlantic passenger trade, but its immediate public impact was slight.

The House conferees accepted this provision: the House bill had a July 1 effec- tive date. In the other big item in con- troversy, affecting the 10 per cent auto tax, a compromise was reach- ed which retains one percentage point of this levy. However, the conferees junked a Senate provision sponsored by Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff (D- Conn) under which the repeal of four percentage points of this tax would have been made conditional on agreement by the manufactur- ers to install a series of safety devices on their cars. As the Senate passed the meas- ure, one percentage point of the car tax would have been retained, but earmarked for use in disposing of auto junkyards. The conferees eliminated the earmarking feature, which was sponsored by Sen. Paul H. Doug- las (D-Ill). They decided, instead, to allow the $190 million of reve- nue produced by the one per cent tax to stay in the Treasury gen- eral revenue. However, House managers said they would suggest that Congress later might decide to put this rev- enue in the highway trust fund. The auto tax would be cut in annual stages starting with a three per cent slash retroactive to May 15 and wiping out all but the one per cent by 1969. Aides to Ribicoff and Douglas told reporters that the two sena- tors might attempt to oppose the compromise measure, since their amendments were dropped. But pressure for fast action on the bill was expected to win the need- ed Senate votes. I The final version of the legis- lation went beyond Johnson's rec- ommendations. He had proposed a' $3.9 billion excise reduction re- taining half, or five percentage points, of the auto tax. Urges Against Viet Bombings LONDON (P) - Prime Minister Harold Wilson sought yesterday to rally statesmen of the British Commonwealth behind an appeal for general cease-fire in Viet Nam, government informants reported. But on the eve of a 21-nation Commonwealth summit meeting there appeared to be no great ex- pectations that, such a call will lure Communist North Viet Nam and China into peace talks. Aides said Wilson is shaping up a plan of action along these lines A call on President Lyndon B. Johnson to order a second and longer suspension of United States bombing attacks on North Viet Nam. Wilson would like the bomb- pause to precede, and perhaps ex- tend over, the summit conference of Asian and African leaders be, ginning June 29 in Algiers. SEN.
