Washington, June 28 Senate investigators today ripped into sworn testimony from a youth counselor in Chicago's First Presbyterian church that no guns were purchased on a trip he made with leaders of the Blackstone Rangers to Michigan.

John Fry, who has been accused of encouraging and condoning criminal activities of the Rangers, puffed nervously on his curved-stemmed pipe as a federal narcotics agent produced affidavits aimed at LaPaglia for a possible perjury charge. Charges Are Denied Moments earlier, LaPaglia had told the Senate permanent investigations subconim i 1 1 that there were "positively" no guns purchased by the Rangers on a trip he led to Circle Pines camp, near Delton, in September, 1966. He categorically denied charges of George Rose, a gang dropout and a chief witness during the current hearings, that the guns were carried back to the church in LaPaglia's automobile. As LaPaglia was making his denial. Sen.

John McClellan chairman of the subcommittee, was motioning Walter S. Fialkewicz. a federal narcotics agent on loan to the subcommittee, to sit at the witness table. Recalls Selling Guns The agent produced a sworn affidavit from Jerry Coryell, the owner of a gasoline station at Shelby ville, near the camp, who said he recalled selling a .22 caliber magnum rifle with a telescopic lens and two shotguns to "a group of Negroes and a white man" in September, 1966. The white man might have been a Puerto Rican, the station owner said.

"The policy in Viet Nam was LBJ Signs Ta BY ROBERT YOUNG Chicago Tribune Press Service Washington, June 28 President Johnson today signed into law legislation imposing a 10 per cent income tax surcharge and a mandatory cut of 6 billion dollars in federal spending. The 10.2-billion-dollar tax increase applies to individuals and corporations.

The surcharge is retroactive for corporations to last Jan. 1 and for individual taxpayers to last April 1. Higher tax withholding rates for individuals will start in 15 days. The surcharge is temporary under the law the President signed today. It is scheduled to expire June 30, 1969 a year from next Sunday.

Individuals will pay the surcharge on nine months of their 1968 income and on six monihs of their 1969 income. This will mean an actual surcharge of 7Sz per cent this year and 5 per cent in 1969 on a full year basis. When he signed the legislation today, President Johnson said the tax boost was needed for sound fiscal management to deal with an "unacceptable" budget deficit resulting from the added billions of Viet Nam war costs and domestic education, health, and urban programs. 'We must now apply the fiscal brakes." the President said in a statement. "Now we can attack decisively at the roots of the threats to our prosperity accelerating inflation, 1 soaring interest rates, deteriorating world trade perform- ance.
