By United Press International It is a matter of opinion whether President Kennedy is in orderly retreat or demoralized rout with his tax and civil rights bills. He has been compelled to compromise. Liberal Democrats are denouncing the tax bill and Negro leaders are accusing Kennedy of a sellout on rights.

Republicans and conservative Democrats oppose Kennedy's plan to finance tax reduction with borrowed money. Left-wing Democrats accept tax reduction at the expense of more borrowing but they object, and in some anger, to the administration's surrender on some of the tax reform program originally proposed as essential to tax reduction.

The House Ways and Means Committee eliminated these reforms. The administration decided against trying in the Senate to reinstate them. Sen. Paul Douglas, D-Ill., and others among the left wing of the democratic Party now call it a rich man's bill. Douglas and Sen. Albert Gore, D-Tenn., gave Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon a hard time during his testimony before the Senate Finance Committee.

THE TAX BILL continues to enjoy No.1 priority among administration legislative proposals. The brave talk of enacting the tax reduction before Christmas, however, has diminished. More likely, the tax bill will go over until the second session of the 88th Congress, which will convene next Jan.3.
There is no assurance, of course, that the civil rights bill will get through Congress before Christmas. If it fails to do so and if the tax bill also is stymied, the traffic jam in session No. 2 of the 88th may be a record breaker. That would come at a bad time for the Kennedys. Next year comes a presidential election. President Kennedy urgently needs to set his administration's record straight before going to the voters again.
All of this is doubly distressing to the Kennedys. They need the tax cut in this session on the theory that it will stimulate the economy, make jobs and so improve the political climate as to help next year to re-elect the President. As Dillon told the Senate committee a week ago, the overriding necessity was for Congress to enact the tax reduction
THE KENNEDYS also urgently need civil rights legislation now. The more time that elapses between an angry Senate civil rights filibuster and the meeting of the 1964 Democratic National Convention, the more time there will be for party hurts to heal. So civil rights has a sort of second class No. 1 legislative priority of its own.
No matter how it may wreck plans or the second session, civil rights cannot be postponed until 1965. Not with a presidential election coming up next year. The bill now pending was supposed to have been passed the first session of the first Kennedy congress, in 1961.
this year.
Eat Sip and Smile But in Moderation
Candidate Kennedy promised that o the Negroes in his 1960 campaign.
If civil rights goes over to the second session it may block other legislation essential to the Kennedy record.
LOS ANGELES—(UPI) -A leading authority on heart disease said yesterday no single factor—such as high-fat diets, smoking, or stress—should be blamed exclusively for heart ailments.
Dr. Irvine H. Page, director of the research division of the Cleveland (Ohio) Clinic, told the closing session of the American Heart Association's scientific session, that heart disease can result from a variety of things.
Commenting on American habits, he condemned:
- Eating too much. "We should eat less now in the hope of living to eat more in the future."
- Too much interest in spectator sports.
- Abusing the "nice things in life, like tobacco and alcohol."
"We should think of moderation n all things,but be sure not to miss anything," he said.
Another authority on the subject, Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, a Houson, Tex., surgeon, told a news conference that the time when defective human hearts will be replaced by permanently implanted artificial pumps is in the not too distant future.

DENVER—(UPI)—Mrs, Jeanne Marie Goodfellow, 29, history's sixth liver transplant patient, died today after surviving a record 23 days with a new liver.
Liver Transplant Fails; Colorado Woman Dies

Walter Noakes, assistant director of Colorado General Hospital, said Mrs. Goodfellow's body apparently "rejected" her transplanted liver as foreign.
All previous liver transplant recipients also died, but from blood clotting or blood malfunctions.
Mrs. Goodfellow died at the hospital at 3:40 a.m. EDT, just into the 23rd day after the Oct. 5 operation. The 23 days were the longest any liver transplant recipient has ever survived.
Mrs. Goodfellow, an Arvada, Colo., housewife, received the liver in surgery by a team of Denver doctors who have made medical history in the last year with a series of successful kidney transplants.
Mrs. Goodfellow's progress up until a few days ago had encouraged doctors to think she might be the first in history to survive a liver transplant.
The same team performed four of the five previous liver transplants.

Stevenson Blast Expected Of Visiting Madame Nhu
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — United Nations Ambassador Adlai Stevenson was expected to heat up his cold war with Mme. Ngo Dinh Nhu today at a news conference just a short distance from where the controversial first lady of South Viet Nam was scheduled to deliver an address.
Stevenson and Mme. Nhu have levelled thinly-veiled barbs at each other during the past few days, although their paths have never crossed directly during their visits to the same cities.
Stevenson was struck with a picket sign and spat upon following an address in Dallas the day before Mme. Nhu arrived there on another stop in her tour of the United States.
Mme. Nhu said in Texas last weekend that an attack on Stevenson in Dallas Thursday by anti-U.N. demonstrators might indicate that Texans "are fed up with people who are soft on communism."
However, a spokesman for the ambassador said yesterday that Stevenson "now intends to make a major statement" at today's news conference "in regard to the latest statements by Mme. Nuu."
HE SAID Stevenson would meet the press shortly after addressing a breakfast meeting of the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Foundation at the Fairmont Hotel. Mme. Nhu was scheduled to address the Commonwealth Club of California at noon.
Her comment in Los Angeles came after Stevenson indicated to reporters that he felt Mme. Nhu was receiving too much news coverage during her present tour.
The glamorous sister-in-law of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem remained secluded in her hotel room last night and indicated she might cancel two of her three scheduled speaking engagements.
This was Mme. Nuh's last stop in the United States but even members of her official party did not know when she would depart or what route she would take back to Saigon.
