The official sources said all the

up Tuesday night for questioning
about reports they were trying to
organize a protest movement with-
in the bar association. Chien was
reported freed after two days of
interrogation.
Medical sources said the arrest
of Prof. Hoanh led to a sitdown
strike by 30 doctors and 130 med-
ical internes in four hospitals run
by the faculty of medicine of the
University of Saigon. The doctor's
wife and daughter were reported
taken away with him on suspicion
of anti-government activities.
Topic of Conversation
On the other side of the world,
Viet Nam's political-religious crisis
remained a prime topic at the 61-
nation Interparliamentary Union
Conference in Belgrade.
Ceylonese delegate Maithripala
Senanayeke challenged Mrs. Ngo
Dinh Nhu's denial that there was
persecution of Buddhists in South
Viet Nam. He called their treat-
ment by Diem's government "a
serious violation of human rights
and a threat to world peace."

ident's official. hostess planned to
present her rebuttal in a news con-

In Congress
WASHINGTON (P-House Re-
publicans asserted yesterday a tax
cut proposed in an administra-
tion-backed bill awaiting House
action would amount to only "cig-
arette money" for the average
wage earner.
Nine of the 10 GOP members of
the Ways and Means Committee
charged also in a minority report
that an amendment proposed by
the Treasury Department would
result in a $4.4-billion windfall to
big business over the next 10 years.
The Republicans said they op-
pose a tax cut at this time and
called the measure "an integral
part of an over-all fiscal program
of planned deficits-a tax cut on
borrowed money."
"A tax cut of more than $11
billion with no hope of a balanced
budget for the foreseeable future,
is both morally and fiscally
wrong," they asserted.
The Republicans rejected what
they called "President John F.
Kennedy's claim that planned defi-
cits will produce economic pros-
peritl. Past experience shows that
deficits produce the opposite re-
sult."
"Is the tax cut worth the price?"
they asked. "For the average wage
earner, the bill will result in a tax
reduction by the year 1965 of be-
tween $1.50 and'$2.00 per week.
Are these taxpayers willing to have
the government go into debt at the
rate of $10 billion per year for the
foreseeable future to give them the
equivalent of cigarette money?"

Greek Rite
Rejects Plea
ATHENS (AP)-The head of the
Greek Orthodox Church turned
down yesterday papal appeals for
unity with the Roman Catholic
Church.
He called the Roman church
"centralist and absolutist."
"The Orthodox world will never
be disposed to accept the infallibil-
ity of the Pope, said Archbishop
Chryssostomos.
The archbishop, primate of
Greece, talked with newsmen less
than a week before Orthodox
churchmen from around the world
are scheduled to meet on Rhodes
to discuss Pope Paul VI's invita-
tion to send observers to the Vati-
can's Ecumenical Council.
Most of them, led by Patriarch
Athenagoras of Constantinople,
are believed to favor accepting the
invitation. The Greek branch
of the Orthodox Church, however,
has maintained stiff opposition.

Nuclear Pact
Gets Suppori
WASHINGTON (M-)-The limite
nuclear test ban treaty gained a
influential backer yesterday whe
Sen. Harry M. Jackson (D-Wash
announced he will vote formit. Th
senator is considered one of ti
Senate's top military experts.
Jackson said "my heart is ne
leaping up" over the pact but wit
the safeguards assured to protec
the nation's security "I believe thi
the Senate may prudently give i
advice and consent to ratification
But Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss
chairman of the Senate prepares
ness subcommittee, firmly main
tained his opposition. He told th
Senate the pact would permit tI
Soviet Union to "leap-frog furthi
ahead of us" in nuclear weaponr
in one, two or three years.
TWO POINTS:
UN To Hear'
Kennedy Talk
On U GS. Goals
WASHINGTON (A) - President
John F. Kennedy will deliver this
nation's opening speech at the
United Nations General Assembly
next Friday, it was announced yes-
terday.
Assistant Secretary of State for
International Organization affairs
Harlan Cleveland listed for news-
men these two main United States
goals for the /fall meeting of the
General Assembly which gets un-
derway in New York Tuesday with
more than 100 items slated for its
agenda:
1) Strengthening of the United
Nations.
2) A testing of the Soviets on a
wide range of issues to see where
East-West relations will go from
here.
Kennedy's appearance at the
world forum is timed to follow
what the administration hopes will
be Senate ratification by a respect-
able margin of the limited nuclear
test-ban treaty. The Senate is ex-
pected to vote about Wednesday
or Thursday.
By his personal attendance at
the UN session, Kennedy hopes to
add the weight of presidential
prestige to the United States posi-
tion and accentuate America's role
as host.
Secretary of State Dean Ru k
is slated to go to New York aroudl
Sept. 22 for a fortnight of talks
with foreign dignitaries attending
the session, including Russian For-
eign Minister Andrei Gromyko.
The President intends to see
Gromyko too, but aides said this
would be in Washington. Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev has
said he will not attend the UN
session this year.
Could Win
BARTLESVILLE, Okla. (2) --
Talking like a man who would like
to try, Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-
Ariz) said yesterday Republicans
can win in 1964 if they offer a
"clear-cut choice" to President
John F. Kennedy.
Goldwater, a conservative con-
tender for his party's presidential
nomination although not an an-
nounced candidate, said in a
speech prepared for the Republi-
can Men's Club that no "little Sir
Echo" nominee will do.
"The Republicans can and must
offer this nation a choice when
any of our candidates go before
the electorate," he said. "We must
offer the chance for sound policies
here at home and for freedom
around the world. We don't want
to be known as little Sir Echo. We
want real Republican voices and
choices to be heard."
No Incidents
In Huntsville and Mobile, where
racial barriers also fell recently
under federal court orders, Negro
and white students went to class
together again without incident.
The scene in Mobile was peaceful
in contrast to Thursday's demon-
stration which resulted in arrest of
54 students.
A spokesman for the anti-Negro
National States Rights Party said
he and three of his aides have been
subpoenaed by a specially conven-
ed United States grand jury meet-
ing here next Monday.
Pledges To Keep Fighting
Edward R. Fields, the party's in-
formation director and editor of
the race-baiting publication, "The
Thunderbolt," pledged to continue
a campaign "to establish white
private schools."
Hundreds of white students re-
mained away from West End High
for the fourth day in a row, but
the Birmingham School Board said
attendance was higher than at any
time since the boycott began.

GEORGE ROMNEY
... tax program
r
Gov. George Romney's tax-
reform program, as expected, has
drawn comments from all points
of the- state, including a big roar
of disapproval from Detroit where
city leaders claimed the program
would cost the city at least $10
million-not $4.5 to $.5 million as
Romney said.
Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavan-
agh said the governor's proposal
to cut city income tax payments
of nonresidents to one-half of one
per cent and to exempt corpora-
tions from the Detroit income tax
would cost the city, at least $10
million a year at a time it is fight-
ing back to attain fiscal stability.
"The governor's program," Cav-
anagh said, "seems to be complete-
ly inconsistent and in contradic-
tion with his oft-stated position
that he proposed to give local units
of government more adequate
sources of revenue.
Sees Loss of Revenue
"It does exactly the opposite
as far as Detroit is concerned.
The loss as revenue to the city
would be an extremely serious det-
riment to the continued efficient
operation of city government and
to Detroit's efforts to eliminate
its deficit."
Though his criticism was direct-
ed mai ly at the portion of the
Romney program, affecting Detroit
finances, Cavanagh said he had
"reservations about other aspects
of his (Romney's) program."
Meanwhile, Grand Rapids City
Manager George Bean said:
"I would say that our analysis
of the one. per cent proposal so
far 1-'as been that it will meet city
needs for quite some time in the
future.
"The only concrete thing that
WHAT IS LEADERHI 1

university reformed church
has been done (about the city in-
come tax) in Grand Rapids, how-
ever, is that in the budget mes-
sage to the city commission for
1963-64 it was mentioned as the
only alternative of raising neces-
sary revenue to carry on our pro-
gram."
Delos Hamlin of Farmington,
chairman of the Oakland County
Board of Supervisors and a mem-
ber of the board of directors of
the National Association of Coun-
ties, said he first would want tax-
payer reaction before commenting
on the putting into effect the new
provisions proposed by Romney in-
cluding the auto tax and property
transfer.
"Counties in general can use the
money," Hamlin said. "We're be-
ing required to assume gradually
more services that historically
were rendered by the state. For
example, in the field of mental
health. Our revenue sources have
to be expanded to meet these de-
mands."
Impressed with Program
Robert Fryer, executive secre-
tary of the Michigan Municipal
League, said he was favorably im-
pressed with the Romney pro-
gram.
"It appears there has been an
attempt to consider the needs of
all levels of government, but
whether they are fairly dealt with
is something to be determined
later," Fryer said.
Berkley Mayor George Kuhn,1
head of the Vigilance Tax Com-
mittee which is seeking voter ap-
proval of any income tax, said the
fiscal program violated Romney's
campaign pledges of citizen par-
ticipation in government.
'Star Is Falling'
"The governor's ,presidential
star probably is falling pretty
fast," Kuhn said. "It is unthink-
able that he would suggest new
taxes without control or limitation
or voter approval. I oppose the
program as a package because it
totally disregards our committee's
ideas about citizen control."
Livonia Mayor Harvey Moelke
said he had "real resevrations"
about any program involving an
income tax.
Saginaw Mayor G. Stewart
Francke called Romney's propos-
als the "best program that has

Thinks Cities Penalized
He said, however, that exempt-
ing corporations from local in-
come taxes would penalize highly
industrialized cities, which incur a
large expense to serve their indus-
tries.
Mayor Lawrence A. Frost of
Monroe said the program is a "just
and equitable application of tax-
ing power." He said tax adjust-
ment in Michigan is long overdue.
He said the optional one per
cent city income tax is "not so
optional." He said that taking
away sales taxes on food and
drugs might force the city to
adopt an income tax. He said
Monroe has not been considering
an income tax.
