"come Tax Tariff Slash Contemplated

WASHINGTON (CP) — Presi- dent Kennedy asked Congress in a State of the Union mes- | sage Thursday for unparallelled | power to. slash taxes and tar- iffs. ~

Standing in the rostrum of the House chamber, Kennedy out-

growing economy, a_ healthy, prosperous, well-educated ~peo- ple, military might, and an end | to what he called a global civil war that ‘‘has divided and tor- mented mankind.” : The greatest burst of ‘applause from the Senate and House members and the jammed 4al-

nedy said the situation in Ber- lin still is threatening and un- predictable then added: ‘‘We are prepared to talk, when ap- | propriate, and to‘ fight, if nec- essary.’

On civil rights,

Kennedy nad

pledged legislative action when .

he campaigned for the White @House but resorted only to ex- ecutive action once he got there There were signs he planned to continue relying on executive powers in this area. But Turs- day he called for legislation to outlaw literacy tests and poll taxes as voting requirements.

MEASURE SIDETRACKED On aid to education, the prest- dent had urged a bill that would provide federal assistance for school construction and teacher salary increases ~ but not for private or parochial schools. This measure was sidetracked in a scrap over the religious i®- sue and the widespread expecta- tion was that Kennedy would veer away from it this time Instead, he didn't retreat inch on the broader bill nudged Congress to shove through at this session Kennedy asked Congress to give him standby authority to lower personal income taxes and to speed ug federal publie works spending as insurance against future recessions. de proposed, too, a pér manent strengthening of the system. for payments to people out of jobs, Kennedy also recommended training men put out of work by

He Won't Get Tariff Bill | Is Republican Prediction

WASHINGTON (CP) — Pres- ident Kennedy served notice on a Conservative-toned Congress

- Thursday that he will demand

| authority to eliminate tariffs al- together on some goods and re- duce tariffs by as mich as 30 per cent on others in a five- year plan to crack Common Market tariff walls and expand world trade

“He won't get it,’’ said Rep- resentative Noah Mason, top Republican on the House ways and meas committee, which will have life-and-death power lever. the revolutionary tariff bill Kennedy will present to Congress shortly.

But the president's ‘enthusi- astic following of Liberal- minded Democrats, led by Con- |gressman Hale Hoggs of Loui- |giana, predicted victory before {the -second session of the 87th Congress folds for November | elections.

Kennedy, sensing the legisla- |tors’ cautious attitude, offered {a concession for protectionists, saying escape - clause mechan- isms, under which the United States can withdraw or modify tariff deals when domestic in- | dustry is hard-pressed by im- | ports, will be. safeguarded.

‘reaching in_seepe but. designed with great_care to make certain,

its benefits far outweigh any risks,’’ Kennedy said

“The bill: will:permit gradual elimination of tariffs here in the United States and in the Com- mon Market on thase items im which we together supply 80 per cent of the world’s trade— mostly items in whieh-ouf abil- ity to compete is demonstrated by the fact that we sell abroad substantially more than we im- port

will permit a gradifal reduction -

of duties up to 50 per. cent— permit bargaining by major

categories—-and provide for ap .

propriate and tested forms of

assistance to firms and em- ployees adjusting to import competition.-’ ¢

The traditional practice of

extending the results of bilateral tariff bargaining to all members of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade will be con- tinued, Kennedy indicated means Canadian exporters would benefit from lower U.S. and European rates. But Ken-

_Medy’s aides. expect these nom including °

European countries Canada, to adopt more liberal tariff policies of their own.
