Southern Democrats Reject JFK Tax Bill
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Conservative Southern Democrats were reported today swinging to support of a proposed Republican ant-spending amendment to President Kennedy's $11 billion tax cut bill.
Rep. Omar Burleson, D-Tex. chairman of an informal Association of Southern Congressmen, said neither he nor other members of the group were satisfied with Kennedy's economy pledges. Other Southern sources confirmed this report.
THE AMENDMENT'S sponsor, Rep. John W. Byrnes, R-Wis., prepared to make an equal time radio and television broadcast at 5 p.m. to reply to Kennedy's tax cut appeal and to defend the GOP economy plan.
Byrnes was expected to argue that taxes should not be reduced in the face of continued government deficits unless Congress acts at the same time to block further increases in spending.
Kennedy, in a broadcast to the nation Wednesday, pledged that waste and inefficiency in government would not be talerated but he urged Congress not to tie to the tax cut ruinous amendments that might delay or impede its beneficial effect on the economy.
The tax cut comes up for House action next week. It would trim both corporate and personal taxes, with the first phase of a two-point reduction to take effect on Jan. 1.
BYRNES, TOP Republican member of the Ways and Means Committee which recommended the bill on a split vote, will ask the House
First, Kennedy would have to submit to Congress in January a revised budget for the rest of the current bookkeeping year which ends June 30, projecting total outfalls of not more than $97 billion. This is about $1 billion less than the spending now planned.
to make the cut contingent on two specific economy steps.
Under House rules, the bill will be subject to only a one-shot try at amendment. Byrnes, as senior Ways and Means Committee member, will control the attempt. House Republicans have formally embraced his proposal.
Second, the President in projecting spending for the fiscal year which starts July 1 would have to propose a budget of not more than $98 billion. This, too, is less than is now considered likely.
Prof. Byers Receives $7,500 Science Grant
Burleson conceded this was possible. But he said the Byrnes language was the only tool available to conservatives in their effort to put some kind of lid on spending as a complement to the tax cut.
DEMOCRATIC leaders assailed the Brynes plan as a phony. They said it wouldn't really save money, since either the President or Congress, once the tax cut had been triggered, could and most likely would act to raise the actual spending above the levels projected.
George W. Byers, associate professor of entomology, has received a National Science Foundation grant of $7,500 to study Mecoptera, a rare insect group.
Dr. Byers' taxonomical study will include the biology and the life history of the insect group. It will also include accurate descriptions of the various members of the group. The study will initially cover species of North America, but will be broadened to include species in Southeast Asia and South America.
The grant will enable him to prepare a taxonomical revision of the insect group in North America. Prof. Byers will also prepare a paper on the characteristics of all genera of Mecoptera in the world. He will present his paper next summer at the 12th International Congress of Entomology in London.
With the present makeup of the House, if there were no absentees and no Republican defections, 41 Democratic switches positively would turn the tide toward the GOP. Under some circumstances the crucial number might be a few less.
Dr. Byers, assistant curator of the Snow Entomological Museum, has studied Mecoptera since 1954. The museum contains specimens he has collected in the United States, Korea, Japan, Mexico and European countries.

It's pretty hard to believe, but that is the situation at Hashinger Hall this week.
The intercom system between each room, and the central switchboard broke down Tuesday and is not expected to be fixed before the weekend barrage of visitors begins.
DURING THE EMERGENCY the switchboard operators have adopted the system of locating the girls by foot or, when possible, ringing the phone on the girls floor and having someone there find her.
"Running up and down these eight flights of stairs certainly does wear me out," one switchboard operator was heard moaning.
Meanwhile, the women are panicking. Concerned voices can be heard coming out of rooms bemoaning the situation:
"It's almost Friday and he hasn't called yet . . . But I absolutely have to get that assignment . . . What do you mean I have a call on eight floor, I live on third . . . I was just sure he'd call this week . . . and when I got there he had hung up!"
Fraternities and sororites on the KU campus soon may have the opportunity to install radio transmitters in their houses at no expense.
KUOK Foresees Expansion To Fraternities. Sororities
The service is planned for October by KUOK, the campus radio station. At present the system is used in the large dormitories on the campus.
All radio signals are sent from the KUOK station in Hoch basement, along individual lines to the dormitories. Each dormitory has its own transmitter which serves all occupants of the building.
"WE HOPE THAT by October we have the finances and equipment to service the fraternities and sororities." Pete Wellington, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and station manager of KUOK said.
All expenses of the station are paid by the advertisers who subscribe to its services.
The new staff members of KUOK who have assumed their positions this semester and who will be associated with the new service are:
