Cite Clash of Interests
As Cause of Soviet Rift
WASHINGTON (P)-Communist China and the Soviet Union are
moving away from their strictly theoretical arguments of a year ago
into an increasingly harsh clash of national interests along their com-
mon border in Central Asia, United States officials said yesterday.
This appraisal was made after the latest incident between Pe-
king and Moscow involving the expulsion of a group of Chinese who
were caught trying to transport anti-Soviet publications into Russia.
SOUTH VIET NAM:
Senators Demand End of Aid
Plan Serves
As Insurance
To Economy
Kennedy Act Saves
Taxpayers $11 Billion
WASHINGTON M)-Demands
for a cutoff of United States eco-
nomic and military aid to South
Viet Nam were made in the Senate
yesterday by Sens. Frank Carlson
(R-Kan) and Joseph S. Clark (D-
Pa).
The two senators spoke out af-
ter they and eight colleagues, had
signed a resolution by Sen. Frank
Church (D-Idaho) to end aid to
any country which practices re-
ligious persecution.
hurch told a reporter the fact
ti' 10 other senators signed as
cosponsors of his resolution in the
first few hours after it was cir-
culated indicates there is strong
Senate sentiment for halting
American expenditures to the Ngo
Dinh Diem regime.
Confronting Mme. Nhu
Carlson, like Church, a member,
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, told his colleagues the
United States should "accept the
challenge" of Mme. Dinh Nhu,
sister-in-law of Diem, to cut of f
aid. She had said that this coun-
try did not dare to stop the as-
sistance program.
President John F. Kennedy has
said that "it would not be helpful
at this time" to reduce aid to
South Viet Nam.
Carlson tabbed Diem a ruthless
dictator and, said there was not
much hope that he would halt
religious and other persecutions.
Knocks Religious Persecution
"Let's once and for all serve no-
tice on the Diem regime that we
will have no further truck with
a government that practices reli-
gious persecution and has no re-
spect or regard for human life and
human rights," Carlson said.
Clark said he wanted to asso-
ciate himself with Carlsor in this
statement.
Carlson said he does not think
the United States can "continue
the intolerable and indefensible
position it is now in in South Viet
Nam."
Violation of Human Rights
"Day after day we are informed
of the violation of human rights
by (Vietnamese) President Ngo
Dinh Diem, a ruthless dictator," he
said.
"Our nation's policy in Viet Nam
seems to be one of hope that this
dictator and his associate rulers
will become more benevolent and
less ruthless. However, their ac-
tions and their statements give us
no cause for hope. The time has
come for us to be realistic and
* practical...
"We have invested over one bil-
lion dollars in military and eco-
nomic support in this country,"
Carlson said.

The publications were found dur-
ing a routine customs examination

Whether the incident would
push Peking into an open split
with Moscow was still unknown.
Last week, Chinese Red authori-
ties said that the brink already
had been reached.
Whatever the consequences of
the latest incident, American an-
alysts of Chinese-Soviet affairs
are now calling the Central Asian
frontier between the two Commu-
nist nations "an area of uncer-
tainty."

plane companies and three engine

Saigon Protest Falters
As Troops Ring Schools
SAIGON (M)-The Saigon student campaign against Vietnamese
President Ngo Dinh Diem's administration faltered yesterday under
a show of military force at high schools, of the capital.
Troops occupied some schools before dawn and ringed others,
quietly blocking plans for the biggest in a series of antigovernment
demonstrations that Saigon University students launched Aug. 25.

NEW YORK -- The New York
Stock Exchange rallied today to
approach the record highs set last
Thursday. The Dow-Jones aver-
ages showed 30 industrials up
4.51, 20 rails up 1.31, 15 utilities up
.21, and 65 stocks up 1.45.
>According to newsmen, there were
no arrests.
Rebels Subdued
But the young rebels slacked off
quickly after some preliminary
peering and desk banging. More
than 1,000 teen-agers had been
rounded up during outreaks Sa-
turday and Monday.
The government, which contends
Communists have infiltrated both
student ranks and the Buddhists
opposing Diem, presented two
Vietnamese high school girls in
support of that theory.
The girls told a news conference
at the government information of-
fice they have been part of a
Communist Viet Cong network
operating in the Saigon school
system.
Phan Van Tao, director-general
of information, told more than
100 assembled newsmen the girls,
"who could be like your daughters
or younger sisters," had been mis-
led. They were among students ar-
rested Saturday.
WASHINGTON (IP) - President
John F. Kennedy's $11 billion tax
cut bill was approved by the House
Ways 'and Means Committee yes-
terday completing the first leg of a
perilous journey in Congress.
Kennedy urged the legislators,
many of whom doubt the bill can
be enacted into law this year, not
to "tempt fate" by delaying the
measure, which he described as
anti-recession insurance.
Speaking to a national confer-
ence of the Business Committee for
Tax Reduction in 1963, Kennedy
said the present period of good
business has run about as long as
the average for recent years.
Doubtful Results
Without predicting a recession,
he said, "I do not know that the1
prompt enactment of this bill,s
making certain both immediate1
and prospective tax reductions,
will improve business conditions
and make the most of the1
anti-recession thrust."
The administration counts heav-
ily on pumping more spendable j
income quickly into the economy
by reducing income tax withhold-
ings on Jan. 1. This can be done
only if House and Senate agree on
a tax cut bill before that date. If
they let this year go by without
acting, the Treasury has said no
bigger pay envelopes can be ex-
pected before April, at the earliest.
Treasury estimates indicate
most wage-earning, tax-paying
families might ultimately get some
$2 to $4 a week more take-home
pay from the tax reduction. Under
administration plans, two-thirds
of the cut would go into effect
Jan. 1, 1964, the rest a year later.
Change in Tax Scales
Income tax scales would range
from 14-70 per cent instead of the
present 20-91 per cent table. Cor-
poration taxes would be 48 instead
of 52 per cent.
The healthy state of the econo-
my and congressional sentiments
have resulted in some changes in
Kennedy's proposals: upper-in-
come levels have been given more
of a break and lower-income
groups slightly less relief than
originally recommended.
Before approving the bill, the
tax-writing Ways and Means Com-
mittee defeated 12 to 11, with two
members voting "present," a Re-
publican move to make the second
stage of the tax cut depend on con-
trol of expenditures.
Conditions of Amendment
The 1965 cut would not go into
effect, this motion - provided, if
government operations for the
year ending next June 30 resulted
in more than an $8 million deficit.
Under such circumstances, Ken-
nedy said, businessmen would re-
gard the promise of a second stage
cut as "no promise at all" and so
would be likely to go slow on ex-
pansion.
Ask Kennedy
To Prosecute
WASHINGTON (A)-A House
Judiciary Suboommittee has asked
Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy to
seek indictments against 60 Ameri-
can students who traveled to Cuba
this summer in violation of State
Department restrictions.
The subcommittee said Monday
it regards the "so-called student
trip to Cuba' as a "willful, delib-
erate and organized violation of
the law.'

MENTAL HEALTH:
House Votes
To Pass Bl
WASHINGTON M)-A $238 mil-
lion federal aid program to help
combat mental illness and retarda-
tion won House approval yester-
day.
The House passed the authoriza-
tion measure by a roll call vote
of 335 to 18.
The bill would authorize useof'
federal funds to pay part of the
cost of building research centers,
and facilities for care of the
mentally retarded.
But the measure, originally ask-
ed by President John F. Kennedy,
would provide $612 million less
than the $850 million the Senate
had voted.
