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.

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?" Laos Leader Makes Chargep VIETIANE (P-Pro-Communist Laotian leader Phoumi Vongvichit yesterday accused right-wing lead- er Gen.

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.

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.

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 douglas coe, washington, d.c. SUN!M.AY AT 4ECVCEN 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 KINMMe ...... , :::;: ?r 'JJ:; .

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. Sept. 27 A ONE-DAY RETREAT at Clear Lake, Saturday, Sept. 21. Keynote Speaker: DR. LEWIS B.
