Kennedy urged the legislators, many of whom doubt the bill can be enacted into law this year, not to "tempt fate" by delaying the measure, which he described as antirecession insurance.

Speaking to a national conference of the Business Committee for Tax Reduction in 1963, Kennedy said the present period of good business has run about as long as the average for recent years. Without predicting a recession, he said, "I do know that the prompt enactment of this bill, making certain both immediate and prospective tax reductions, will improve business conditions and make the most of the anti-recession thrust."

Selective Service authorities said state draft officials had been told to release married men due to be Inducted Tuesday. A service spokesman told a reporter the pool of single men classified 1A, and thus eligible to be drafted, is entirely adequate for foreseeable needs. However, young men who marry after receiving induction notices merely to escape the draft might find themselves in the Army. Selective Service officials said local boards could consider all the circumstances and grant deferments or order inductions as they see fit. The officials said they expect no great rush to the altar to dodge the draft.

Should this occur, they said, and the pool of eligible single men dry up to any great extent, Tuesday's order made clear that the drafting of married men could be resumed without any further presidential action. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 President Kennedy stopped the drafting of childless married men Tuesday. About 340,000 young men were freed of draft status immediately. Married men with children have not been inducted into the military services since 1956, Selective Service officials said.

An order signed by Kennedy stipulates that married men may not be drafted while there are single men available between the ages of 19 and 26. But those who claim exemption as husbands must "have a wife with whom they maintain bona fide family relationship in their homes." This will mean, among other things, that more single men younger than the present 23-year average will be tapped, the White House said. The President's order was made effective immediately and for some it came bama National Guardsmen into federal service, threby re moving them from the control of Wallace, who had ordered part in noisy, unruly demonstrations protesting the desegregation of West End.

A tall, clean-cut youth appeared rather unperturbed about the situation. "Oh, I guess eventually we'll get used to it," he said. "We'll have to." Blue-uniformed city policemen, many of them on duty for long hours, sat on the grass in front of the school.

On a granite marker somebody had pasted stickers which read: "Back Governor Wallace. Fight for Segregation," and "Birmingham Betrayed, Not Beaten." Carloads of teen-agers waving Confederate flags and displaying segregation placards paraded past the school. Inside, one of the Negro pupils sat at a desk in a classroom with one white youth and the teacher. The other Negro had no classmates for the first class.

But Rep. John W. Byrnes of Wisconsin, senior Republican member of the Ways and Means Committee who made the unsuccessful motion Tuesday, said he will try again when the bill reaches the House floor. While the committee re jected Byrnes' amendment, it did vote to write into the bill a declaration that Congress favors expenditure control and expects the additional revenue, which the bill's proponents say will come from stimulated business, to be used to reduce deficits. With this declaration, and a few minor amendments to specialized parts of the legislation, the committee approved the bill 17 to 8.

Three arrests were made by stern Mobile police. And meantime four Negro pupils went to classes with white children at Huntsville for the second straight day. It was at Huntsville that the color barrier first fell in the Alabama elementary public school system. Inexplicably, Wallace did not ban Negroes from integrated classes there as he did at the other three cities.

Now only the state of Mississippi has no integration in its elementary school system. Before dawn, Wallace had ordered his state troopers to return to their home stations. Their commander, Col. Al Lingo, had been served with a restraining order signed by the five U.S. district judges in Alabama ordering Wallace and all his agents to stop interfering with court-ordered school integration.

The much-amended legisla said only creation of such a board or a contract settlement could halt the walkout against United.

The United spokesman said because of the industrywide nature of the walkout he believes a presidential fact finding board would have to be appointed.

10 A dragging, poorly-attended Senate debate on the nuclear test ban treaty was momentarily enlivened Tuesday when Sen. John O. Pastore made an impassioned plea to "the doubters" to resolve their doubts in favor of ratification. The Rhode Island Democrat, who is chairman of the Joint Committet on Atomic Energy, told the doubters that, under the constitutional requirement of a two-thirds majority for treaty approval, each senator against the treaty has "two votes." Then, flinging open his Jacket and striking the left side of his chest, Pastore said: "I say to those who have doubts about this treaty that I want them to open their hearts and look into their consciences. I want them to realize what they might be doing.

If by their vote, they destroy and kill the treaty, God help us! God help us!" After President kennedy's customary Tuesday morning conference with Democratic legislative leaders, Sen.
