Calls Program First
- In 'Thorough' Reform
WASHINGTON (') - President
John F. Kennedy asked Congress
yesterday for broad tax changes as
weapons against aging factories,
unemployment, tax cheaters, ex-
pense account living and the flow
of gold overseas.
He called his requests "a first
though urgent step" toward more
thorough tax reform next year..
That reform, the President said,
could mean a general income tax
cut for everyone.
Meanwhile, his 6,300-word spe-
cial mesage to Congress asked
these major changes:'
1) A special tax incentive for
business to expand and modernize.
2) Withholding of taxes on divi-
dends and interest.
3) Repeal of the special benefits
given stockholders.
4) Sharp limitation of expense
account deductions.
5) Ending special treatment for
- corporations that invest in com-
peting industrial nations.
Kennedy said his proposed
changes, when taken together,
would not cut government revenue.
He said that while his incentive to
modernize business would mean a
$1.7 billion loss, the other changes
would bring in at least $50 million
more than that.
The mesage immediately ran
into Republican criticism in Con-
gress. Rep. Bruce Alger of Texas,
called it "a declaration of war on:
American free enterprise."
Democrats like Rep. Thaddeus
M. Machrowicz of Michigan prais-
ed the message but said some of
the proposals would have diffi-
culty passing Congress.
The House Ways and Means
Committee will open hearings May
3 on the President's proposal.
Welch Cites
Communist
Penetration
By The Associated Press
SHREVEPORT-Robert Welch,
outspoken founder of the contro-
versial John Birch Society, Wed-
nesday charged the Communists
"have heavily influenced all ma-
jor decisions in our government
since 1941."
In a copyrighted speech, Welch's
one hour and 45 minute talk dealt
with what he called "the princi-
ple of reversals" being used by the
Communists.
This principle, he said, is at
work in the Protestant ministry
"because that is almost the last
place the ordinary American would
expect to find them."
This principle, he said, is at,
work in our Protestant'clergy,
"the largest single body of Com-
munists in America, because that
is the last place you'd expect to
find them."
The founder of the Birch society
accused the press of misquoting
him and petting "completely false
statements in my mouth."
He said he was recently mis-
quoted in Santa Barbara concern-
ing the society's stand on racial
segregation.
Meanwhile in Congress, Rep.
Edgar W. Hiestand (R-Calif), a
member of the society, introduced
a resolution in the House to cre-
ate a special subcommittee to in-
vestigate the society and "the
smear campaign against it."
He cited as evidence of the al-
leged smear the Army's action in
relieving Maj. Gen. Edwin A.
Walker, accused of distributing
society material.

MIAMI (")--Guerrilla invaders\
of Cuba appeared last night to
be digging in for a long hit-and-:

ernment.
While the Cuban regime claim-
ed to have crushed the counter-
revolution, rebels in exile kefused
to admit defeat and insisted their
main objective was achieved.

They said Monday's landing in
the Bahia de Cochinos was not
a full scalei invasion but only a
supply operation. They said it
succeeded in .bringing supplies and
support to guerrilla units already
entrenched in the Escambray
Mountains.
The rebel claims were backed by

a radio station calling itself "Ra-
dio Escambray Libre" (free Es-
cambray) which was heard here.
The station said it was broadcast-
ing from the Escambray Moun-
tains and reported that the guer-
rillas had been joined by the
sea-borne newcomers after bloody
fighting.
Castro's radio conceded that
some elements of the invading
force remained on Cuban soil, de-
spite heavy casualties and the loss
of equipment. As the struggle
wound up its fourth day, the
bearded Cuban premier remained,
or continued to be kept, in the
background.
The Cuban government radio
called for a big rally at Havana
University at 9 p.m. last night
but there was no word as to
whether Castro would attend.
There was still no hint in broad-
casts heard here of the Cuban
premier's whereabouts. The voice
of the bearded leader has not been
heard on the official radio except
in transcriptions of earlier speech-
es since the day the invasion
started.

I-
as
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The
United States sought yesterday to
bar any United Nations action
which might hinder future aid to
forces seeking the overthrow of
Cuban 'Prime Minister Fidel Cas-
tro.
Reliable sources made the Unit-
ed States position known as the
Assembly's political committee
neared a vote on resolutions deal-
ing with the fighting in Cuba.
Meanwhile, Guatemala's Carlos
Alejos charged, that the Castro re-
gime was using Czech and Soviet
weapons to massacre Cubans. He
said "Communists" were piloting
MIG planes and operating Soviet
tanks, and asked for a UN inves-
tigation as to whether Cuba "is
being occupied by foreign troops."
In the face of reports that the
anti-Castro forces had lost their
initial battle, the United States
took a stand. against a Mexican
non-intervention resolution. The
proposal called on all nations to
refuse aid to anti-Castro fighters.
It found substantial support
among 'Asian and African coun-
tries, and some diplomats said it
had a chance for approval.
JERUSALEM (OP)-In his own
memoirs of the role he played in
Nazi Germany's mass murder ma-
chine,, Adolf Eichmann emerged
yesterday as a dedicated bureau-
crat with a passion for train
schedules and obedience to orders.
He depicts himself as an ad-
ministrator, not a killer.
The picture is etched sharply in
a six-volume, 3,400-page record of
Eichmann's interrogation by Is-
raeli authorities after his capture
last year in' Argentina. In this
massive record, made public by
Israel yesterday, Eichmann denies
accusations that he ordered use
of poison gas to kill Jews in ex-
termination camps and asserts:
"I am neither a Jew-hater nor
an anti-Semite. Some of the rela-
tives of my stepmother married
Jews. Even in Hungary, there
SBORGANA
were my Jewish relatives, which
was never denied."
Again and again, Eichmann de-
nied in rambling answers thathe
took any active part in the estab-
lishment of extermination camps
but stressed he would have obeyed
any orders given him "no matter
what they were."
