Senate Will Begin War Budget Debate
Page 3
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Senate prepared today to follow up its historic vote for a peace-promoting treaty with action on a $47.4 billion money bill to pay for the instruments of war.
The big appropriations bill, amounting to nearly half of the entire annual federal budget, was scheduled for debate immediately after ratification of the nuclear test ban treaty.
Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis. said he planned to offer at least one
Tax Cut Bill In Senate For Debate
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The House today began debate of a bill that would provide the biggest tax cut in history.
House passage of the $11 billion tax cut was anticipated by nightfall tomorrow despite the opposition of many Republicans. They contended it was irresponsible for President Kennedy to push for tax cut in view of the record high peacetime spending.
These Republicans, backed by some conservative southern Democrats, hoped to attach budgetary strings to the tax reliefs just before the showdown vote tomorrow.
But GOP strategists conceived the move probably would fail.
EVEN SO, there was considerable doubt the Senate would act in time for the first of the bill's two annual tax cuts to take effect in January.
tax Rep. Clarence J. Brown, R-Ohio, appealed for approval of the GOP amendment. It would prohibit the tax cut unless President Kennedy in his budget message next January forecasts future spending at levels below those now anticipated.

In a prepared speech, Brown said: Let us, by our votes, acknowledge that which our common sense tells us—that to enjoy lower federal taxes, so badly needed, we must also hold down public spending.
He said that despite Kennedy's pledge to economize his administration is sponsoring bills that would add $7.4 billion to federal spending.
Rush Beginning For Jay Janes
amendment to cut $60 million added by the Senate to the House bill to speed research on a mobile medium-range missile.
Jay Janes rush will be held for upperclass women today and tomorrow.
An orientation meeting for those whose last names begin with A to M will start at 4:30 p.m. today in the parlors of the Kansas Union. There will be a meeting at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow for those whose names begin with N to Z.
Becky Williamson, Wichita senior and Jay Jane president, said that 27 women will be selected, bringing the total membership of the pep club to 60.
BUT SEN. RICHARD E. Russell, D-Ga., top Senate military expert, issued advance warning last week when the bill cleared the Appropriations Committee that any effort to cut the outlay would be strenuously opposed.
Women will fill out petitions at the meetings, members will be chosen on the basis of grades and activities. Events planned for this year include a trip to the Nebraska game and several pep rallies.
Russell, chairman of both the Senate Armed Services Committee and defense appropriations subcommittee, said that because of the test ban treaty, it was all the more imperative that the United States remain militarily strong.
In all, the bill totals $47,371,407,000,
which is $289.4 million more than
the House approved last June but
$1.6 billion less than President
Kennedy requested.
So huge was the sum in the bill that one Senate staff aide calculated it would take one man—spending at the rate of $1,000 a minute—almost 90 years to get rid of that much money.
IN RESTORING some of the House cuts, the Senate committee put in more money for airplanes and missiles, and added $92.5 million for stepped-up research and development on new weapons.
Spelunkers Married
TRIESTE, Italy — (UPI) — Two young cave-fanciers were married near here yesterday 441 feet underground.
However, the bill does not include any funds for an estimated $500 million military pay raise, slated to go into effect Jan. 1, or about $500 million for military housing which has been shifted this year to a separate money bill.
The bride, Laura Gregoris, 21,
wore a white speleologists outfit,
gumboots and a helmet for her
wedding in a cave called Grotto
Gigante. So did the groom, Rinaldo
Saunig. They were married by the
chaplain of their speleological
group.

Another 40 students are spotted throughout all freshman English classes. They meet three times a week.
The third group consists of two sections of 20 who have been exempt from the regular rhetoric course. Their work will be an "analysis of expository and narrative prose."
Mail English Class Could Be in Future
The U.S. office of Education has awarded KU thirty-two thousand dollars to finance an investigation of a "correspondence-tutorial" method of teaching freshman English.
Freshman English by correspondence may be the course of the future at KU.
THE GOAL of the study is to determine the effectiveness of teaching freshman English by this method. Unlike other correspondence enrollees, the students would be on campus and could have the help of a tutor-professor.
STUDENTS in all three groups will be tested four times during the semester to measure their grasp of the material being presented.
Professor Willingham said that as far as he knew, no other university has investigated this program.
Professor John R. Willingham, member of the faculty and the director of correspondence study, will direct the investigation.
The study will involve three groups of freshmen English students this year. The first group are in the "tutorial" section. They have received their assignments and may
The project hopes to expand its program to include 80 students next fall. Again, students will be enrolled in both the tutorial and regular sections of freshman English.

By the fall of 1965, the program is expected to be expanded to 320; 160 in both tutorial section and the regular course.
Associate director of the study is Rothwell, associate professor of English and director of the freshman-sophomore English program.
