Celebrezze will soon appeal to Congress, in behalf of the nnedy administration, for a new version of federal aid to educa- n, according to the Christian Science Monitor.

The principal character is mer- urial Katanga Premier Moise .shombe, who has kept the pot oiling with his on-again off- gain attitude. No one knows from one hour to ;he next what Tshombe will do, or or that matter what Congo Pre- nier CyrillesAdoula will do. Both re full of surprises. One example was the mixup ver whether Tshombe had been laced under house arrest in Elisa- ethville. Last Wednesday night a JN spokesman said such an arrest Sad been ordered by Thant.

The new bill will include aid to public schools as well as to col- leges and universities, plus some new features, and probably come in the form of an omnibus bill, although this has not been finally decided. Celebrezze said the new plan will "pinpoint aid according to areas of greatest need. This, the administration feels, would avoid the kind of general school aid pro- grams in which parochial school leaders feel their schools should be included. Students .Riot In Damascus DAMASCUS (AP) - High school students clashed with police in Da- mascus yesterday as Syria moved through a new political emergen- cy. It was the second straight day of demonstrations by youths said to support President Abdul Gamal Nasser's United Arab Republic. European Members Challenge French, BRUSSELS ()-Five of the six nations in the European Common Market last night rallied behind Britain against the threat of a blackball from President Charles de Gaulle to block British entry into the flourishing trading bloc. West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg chal- lenged the French leader's con- tention that Britain was not yet ready to link up with Europe. Standing Alone De Gaulle faced the prospect of standing alone-a role he has played before and often won out. This time he held a strong hand, for admission to the exclusive economic club must be by unan- imous vote. Britain pressed its application for membership in negotiations here with the Market's ministers- including the French representa- tive-in an atmosphere of anxiety with traces of anger. Foreign Minister Paul - Henri Spaak of Belgium hurriedly called a news conference and said: Intransigeant "I hope that no delegation will show itself intransigeant. That would be to take on a very great responsibility. Such a check would lead to international complications that it is better to avoid, for we are, after all, allies of Great Brit- ain in other fields and even in essential fields." Spaak said he had been embar- rassed by de Gaulle's statement on television Sunday at the very mo- ment Belgium was taking over chairmanship of the negotiations for Britain's entry into the market. De Gaulle has insisted Britain remodel her economy along con- tinental lines before being ac- cepted to full membership in the trade bloc credited with booming Western Europe's economy to un- precedented heights. Britain has held out for terms that would bring a gradual ad- justment-and safeguard major economic links with Common- wealth countries. Proposed Tax Slash Discussed WASHINGTON (A') - President John F. Kennedy tentatively plans to detail his proposals for a $13.5 billion slash in tax rates in a spe- cial message to Congress Jan. 24. The timing of the tax message was confirmed yesterday by House Speaker John McCormack (D- Mass) after he and other Demo- cratic congressional leaders met with President Kennedy at the White House. McCormack, agreeing with the President that tax legislation is the top priority item facing Congress this year, said the House Ways and Means Committee will con- sider the administration proposals "very quickly." May Delay McCormack and Senate Demo- cratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana indicated that early at- tention to taxes may well delay committee consideration of Presi- dent Kennedy's controversial plan to provide medical insurance, for the aged under the social security program. President Kennedy will also send Congress a proposal for more than $53 billion in new appropriations for defense and military aid. This will include more than $52 billion for defense and about $1.5 billion for more military aid to friendly countries. McCormack said the adminis- tration's youth opportunities bill, to aid unemployed youths with few job skills, also was discussed. Congress was showing unmistak- able signs it intends to accept President Kennedy's invitation to cut taxes this year. But members awaited more concrete details be- fore committing themselves to the actual formula. Secretary of Commerce Luther H. Hodges said yesterday a tax cut, if not too little and too late, is the surest way to spur economic growth and ward off future reces- sions. Tax Liabilities He said a reduction in tax liabil- ities of individuals and corpora- tions would stimulate production, jobs, and higher income and prof- its. Speaking before the Women's Forum on National Security here, Hodges said the purpose of a tax cut is not to ward off a recession because he feels there is enough steam in the economy to carry ahead. SWorld News Roundup By The Associated Press LONDON-Labor Party Leader Hugh Gaitskell's medical condition has deteriorated and is giving rise to "some anxiety," a medical bul- letin said last night. Gaitskell, au- tomatic choice for prime minister should his party win control of the government, entered the hospi- tal 1 days ago for treatment of a virus infection. PHILADELPHIA - The work- day life of more than a half mil- lion people was disrupted yester- day by a strike which stalledmost of the city's public transportation. UNITED NATIONS-The Unit- ed States and Soviet Union contin- ued private disarmament talks yesterday in an effort to find a formula for ending nuclear weap- ons testing. The discussions began Monday but neither side would comment after a meeting lasting two and a half hours. WASHINGTON-A long-await- ed report on the outlook for de- velopment of a supersonic airliner urged yesterday that the United States get started on the project immediately. By CARL COHEN A group of faculty members agreed that generally President John F. Kennedy's latest State of the Union Address was moderate and more realistic in its demands than the previous two that the President has made. Prof. John P. White of the poli- tical science department stated that, "it appears the administra- tion is seeking significant but lim- ited objectives, and therefore is determined not to ask too much from Congress, which is still con- servative in its complexion." He said that the President has asked for things that he can hope to get from Congress. Prof. White noted that Kennedy apparently didn't feel that this was the time to ask for civil rights legislation, but that he "could ask for it at a later date." Peace Corps Prof. White said that the Do- mestic Peace Corps "reflects the general impression that the orig- inal Peace Corps has been success- ful." The predictions of the op- ponents have not come true, and the criticism, "Why should we send people overseas when we have problems at home," has. been par- tially eliminated. "We might meet the still remaining criticism of the original Peace Corps in the near future," he said. Prof. Norman Thomas, also of the political science department, agreed that the speech was gener- ally a conservative one. He pre- dicted that it will be better receiv- ed by Congress than the other President Kennedy State of the Union Addresses. He suggested that the President may be "casting an eye to 1964," and that he wants to be sure of "getting something done," to bet- ter his chances for re-election. He also noted that the President seems to be "maturing in office. His Program The President is concerned with "boosting a faulty economy," and his program of tax reduction and tax reform is a "good and sensible plan," Prof. Thomas commented. President Kennedy may not get all he asks from Congress, "but it is hoped that they do a consider- able amount in the area," he add- ed. District Judge Issues Order RIPLEY, Miss. (A) - A district judge issued a temporary injunc- tion yesterday ordering mechani- cal and electrical contractors to stop work immediately on housing facilities for soldiers guarding James H. Meredith. The order was issued because the university airport, where con- struction has begun, belongs to the University of Mississippi and has not been leased or sold to anyone, said Judge William H. Anderson.I The.order forbids the mechani- cal and electrical contractors to continue work on the project, but does not name the federal govern- ment, Anderson said. Kennedy May At In Dock Dispute NEW YORK ('-Assistant Sec- retary of Labor James J. Reynolds said yesterday that President John F. Kennedymight act in the water- front strike if the issues aren't narrowed in a "final attempt" to- day. Prof. Thomas also noted that Kennedy had "slighted other areas of the New Frontier," such as civil rights, aid to education, and Medi- care, but he predicted that these topics will nevertheless get the at- tention of Congress. Radical Proposals In conclusion, Prof. Thomas not- ed that no drastic or radical pro-. posals were made, and that the, speech seemed to favor effective and active steps in our domestic problems, and it was not "inac- curate in emphasizing our position in world affairs." Prof. J. Philip Wernette of the business administration depart- 1I ment said that he believed that Kennedy would get some of his tax reform proposal, but "not the whole package." He noted the sig- nificance of the absence of Senator Kerr this year, who had always defended the 27 per cent oil deple- tion tax allotment. "He was always a stumbling block for a tax reform bill," Wernette said, so the pros- pects for passage of a bill of this type are enhanced. Prof. Wernette called the ad- dress a "generally good represen- tation of recommendations to Congress." He said that the pro- posed changes in the tax rate were "sound," and that they would be "helpful in the long run." are charmifl Faculty Views State of Union Address Lu B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation 11 SABBATH SERVICE, Friday, Jan. 18 at 7:30 P.M.
