"In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." The crowd, which had to be made up of Wallace stalwarts to brave the freezing temperatures, roared its approval. Wallace also sent word to Wash dustry and inhabited by a proud feasibility.

It was no "soft" generation that marched the 20 blocks in the sub-freezing weather of the Inaugural Parade. er we know we possess in the Southland We, not the insipid bloc voters of some sections, will determine in the next election who shall sit in the White House of these United States." During his remarks Wallace also made reference to the school integration issue in Washington, CALL FOR ECONOMIES Many legislators have called for economies to offset any tax cuts, but Kennedy took the position that this cannot be done right now. He predicted, however, that his plan would lead in time to "a balanced budget in a balanced full employment economy." The tax reduction, biggest in world history, would become effective in three annual stages, between 1963 and 1965. About $11 billion of the savings would go to individual taxpayers; the rest to corporations.

The first-step reductions would take effect this year and would be at an annual rate of $6 billion but the reduction for 1963 would not be that much unless it were made retroactive to Jan. 1. Present indications are Kennedy will not ask such retroactivity in his detailed tax requests. The President, in his view of the world, combined cautious rejoicing over Communist discomfitures of the past year with a specifically, the recent race riot which erupted following a foot ball game. TRIBUTE TO WALLACE He called the riot report "disgusting and revealing" and added: MwWMWiiliiw iJwilWiimiilMth.

Mrs. Kennedy received long, enthusiastic applause when she entered the presidential gallery. She wore a black-dyed mink coat over a sleeveless black wool dress. Aside from the tax proposal, chief interest centered on Kennedy's cautious hint that the non-Communist world may be on the years ago.
