I to to President Rules Out 'Brakes on Economy' In Form of Tax Hike Complied From Wire Reports WASHINGTON President Johnson said Tuesday too soon to apply anti-inflation brakes such as a tax increase on the nation's economy. At an impromptu news conference, the President also discounted reports that the Democratic-controlled Congress is in mutiny against him and blandly shrugged off a question whether organized labor "seems to be going independent."

SIKORA HARRISBURG (UPI) Commissioner E. Wilson Purdy and three state policemen were the targets of contempt proceedings Tuesday for obeying Gov. Scranton's order to ignore a House committee investigating the force. The 10-member met and voted unanimousive to begin criminal contempt proceedings against Purdy, Deputy Commissioner Frank McKetta and Detectives Leo Moran of Harrisburg and Albert Pfadt of Greensburg. All four had been served with subpoenas to testify at a committee hearing March 15, but refused to appear because Scranton issued a blanket ban on state police corporation with the inquiry the previous day.

The committee's decision, believed to be the first of its kind in state legislative history, was announced by Rep. Ronald G. Lench, D-Beaver, chairman of the committee which lately has been looking into charges that the force used illegal wiretapping techniques during investigations. Lench said the "precise mechanics" of the citations would be determined at a meeting here March 28. He noted the action would require clearance of the full House, but predicted such approval would be forthcoming because of the unanimous decision by the six Democrats and four Republicans who attended the committee's 75-minute meeting.

Other Disclosures Lench also disclosed: -He had been directed by the committee to ask Scranton and other top political figures to keep the case from becoming a "political football." -The committee would start hearings March 29 on the administration's request to increase the force by 600 men. Lench said Purdy, McKetta and others would be subpoenaed again, but had no idea if they would show in view of Scranton's ban. THE ARE Switzerland's JOHN HARLIN Exchange Leaders Urged To Move From New York (c) N. Y. Times News Service NEW YORK Members of the New York Stock Exchange urged their leadership Tuesday to consider "most seriously" moving the nation's largest securities market to another state.

At the same time, they endorsed the stand taken by exchange, and the board of govincrease in stock transfer taxes as advocated by Mayor John V. Lindsay. Members commended Keith Funston, president of the exchange, and the board of gov-e rnors for their "prompt and forceful action" last Thursday in cancelling plans to construct a new $50-million building at the foot of Broad Street. The resolution also urged Funston and the board "to consider most seriously moving our operations to some other state." An inspection of possible sites outside of New York began last week in New Jersey and a team from the exchange visited locations in Fairfield County, Tuesday. For Funston it was a day of meeting and maneuvering with political figures, even as the battle lines appeared to harden.

The contest March 3 when Mayor Lindsay proposed a 50 per cent increase in the stock transfer tax levied by New York State as part of his tax package. The mayor said then that the city was in "shocking financial condition." On Wall Street, the exchange immediately denounced the plan that would add an estimated $50 million the $100 million the state collected in stock transfer levies last year and allocated to the city. At present, the transfer tax rate on stock sales in New York state is one cent a share for issues selling under $5 a share. This rate is graduated upward to a maximum of four cents a share on stocks selling at $20 a share or more. This transfer tax is paid by the person who sells the stock.

The exchange has argued against the tax on grounds that about 70 per cent of the customers using its marketplace live outside. New York state and, are taxed unfairly by such a levy. At a press conference Tuesday, Funston stressed that the exchange has not made any final decision as to whether not it will move from New York. The exchange, which has been located in New York since its founding in 1792, moved into present Roman Renaissance home at the corner of Wall and Broad streets in 1903.

Eiger has claimed another life. Alpine Plunge Kills American KLEINE SCHEIDEGG, zerland (AP) A fair-haired American plunged 3,000 feet to his death Tuesday, the 26th victim of the passion that sent generations of alpinists against the towering Mt. Eiger north wall. John Harlin, Los Altos, an Shief pilot, smashed against the ice-covered rock he was scaling at the head of a five-man British-American team. His death threw a spell of bad omen over his teammates and the eight German climbers who vowed to conquer the summit through the treacherous direct ascent route.

"We are praying. This is a warning," an emotion-gripped German voice crackled through the radio from a bivouac high up on the wall. Two days ago, the Germans and Anglo joined forces determined assault on the mountain. Harlin himself joined the team Monday after a brief rest, telling his friends: "This is it. All the way to the top." This afternoon, as brilliant sun glittered on the surrounding Alpine peaks, Harlin was a redclad puppet hurtling down, his arms spread in a pathetic gesture.

No one knew whether the expedition will continue. Climax of Career To Harlin, this climb was to climax his career of alpinist, adventurer and world traveller. "Climbing is sophistication of exploration," said a few "he days ago. "This one is the biggest Alpine climb ever conceived." A stocky, sunburned man, he loved nature, rocks, mountains, and the wind howling amidst wilderness. To him this was his life and turned out to be death.

President Apologizes For Harassment of Critic Archbishop of Canterbury In Rome for Visit With Pope By SHEILA WALSH ROME (UPI) Archbishop Michael Ramsey of Canterbury, spiritual head of the Anglican Church, flew here Tuesday for an historic meeting with Pope Paul VI. He was heckled on his departure from London and his arrival in Rome by a small of Irish and British group Protestants.

The youths, estimated to be 15 or 16 years old and dressed in khaki, were chained to the 75- pound mount of the heavy weapons, presumably to prevent them from fleeing the battlefield. They were the gunner, assistant gunner and ammunition bearer. The heavy chains were attached to shackles around their necks. "They wouldn't have been able to drag that gun mount away with them in the heavy brush," said Pfc. Douglas Sturgies, 22, of Paterson, N.J., one of the first Americans to reach the emplacement after it was knocked out.

He apparently was left there to help cover the Viet Cong retreat. Worth Repeating This nation will survive if only men can speak in whatever given them to utter what way their hearts hold. -William Allen White 1966 already is buzzing over who should get the blame for it. A growing number of legislators, many running for reelection in November, believe a tax increase is coming and they're bracing for a painful confrontation with the voters back home.

If there has to be one, the President appears to be ready to shift the blame not only to Congress, but to the Communist Viet Cong and perhaps The business unions and take organized the labsition that a tax increase is not necessary at this time. But if one goes through they want the burden to fall on business, which they claim has enjoyed soaring profits while the working man is long overdue for higher wages. Many feel that the administra-1 tion, no less than Congress, is responsible for federal spending in the new budget, always a potent influence on the economy. No matter who gets the blame, there is increasing pressure on the President to seek tax increase to help finance ca the Viet Nam war and head off inflation. So far, he and his advisers have resisted.

They argue that the business expansion might be ruined, as Treasury Secretary Henry H. Fowler put it, "by slamming down hard on brakes." On Capitol Hill, election year pressures to approve public works and other politically popular spending programs could give Johnson a good excuse to counter with higher taxes to dampen the effect. Congress already added $200 million to Johnson's planned budget deficit of $1.8 billion by passing a new GI bill of rights costlier than the President had requested. Organized labor tends to see the economic boom as a reason to bargain for hefty pay increases, rather than to exercise restraint. AFL-CIO President George Meany has declared on the administraware tion's voluntary guideposts for wage boosts limited to 3.2 per cent.

With scattered labor shortages, both skilled and semiskilled, beginning to appear, the economists argue that now is the time for unions to seek better wages without paying more 1 taxes.

War Funds Approved By Senate $13.1 Billion Cleared, 87-2 WASHINGTON (P) The Senate voted 87 to 2 Tuesday to give the administration an extra $13.1 billion to fight the war in Viet Nam.

Passage of the appropriation accompanied by demands, from Sen. Richard stepping B. Russell, for a up of power to "bring this war to a close." Russell, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said present tactics may require 10 or 12 years to bring the Viet Cong to their knees and "the American people are going to be very unhappy about it" unless the Communists are forced to the peace table soon. Port Closing Urged Sens. Stuart Symington, D.

and Hugh Scott, R-Pa. joined Russell in demanding that the North Viet Nam port of Haiphong be closed by bombing, mining or blockading. Voting against the bill on the final roll call were Sen. Ernest Gruening, D-Alaska, who protested against an escalating war and "the increasing slaughter" of Americans and South Vietnamese, and Sen. Wayne Morse, who frequently joins Gruening in criticizing U.S.

foreign policy. The measure won House passage by a 389-3 vote last week but it must be returned there for action on Senate amendments limiting the defense secretary's authority to transfer funds in support of South Vietnamese and other allied forces. Most of the $13,135,719,000 in the bill was requested by Presiand more firepower Viet dent Johnson to provide, more Nam war, but it also includes $415 million in economic aid. There was no argument between the House and Senate over the amount of funds. The money is for the current fiscal year ending June 30.

Russell told the Senate it "flies in the face of common sense" to let the Reds continue to receive supplies through Haiphong. He said the Pentagon has decided that closing the North Vietnamese harbor "has a lower priority" than the bombing of petroleum dumps, and he said he disagrees with this. By JERRY T.

Roche took his emphatic stand before a Senate subcommittee after the head of a private detective agency G.M. used in the investigation of author-lawyer Ralph Nader tioned whether Roche meant the apoligy he had given earlier in the day.

Gillen contended there had not been harassment.

It will be the first official meeting between the spiritual leaders of the church of England and the Roman Catholic Church since King Henry VIII broke with Rome in the early 1500s. Dr.

Ramsey's predecessor as Archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all England, now Lord Fisher of Lambeth, visited the late Pope John XXIII in the Vatican in 1960. But that meeting was informal, and not In a brief airport statement, Ramsey said he was looking "forward enormously to Rome and to my interview with the Holy Father." "If 1 were asked about my expectations can of this only say visit," wait he and see." High Vatican sources already had cautioned against expectations of any drastic or immediate results. Pope Paul himself said this "is not yet a visit of perfect union, but is however a visit of friendship and to union." Dr. apparently was introduction, unaware of the incident at the Rome airport.

There the Pope and the Archbishop, joined by a congregation of thousands, will issue a common declaration on Christian aims.

FIRST CALL DODGERS wicks "Is that the club president or the club pitcher?" Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N. and committee Chairman Abraham A. Ribicoff, both took issue with Gillen's interpretation of Roche's remarks.

Gillen said, "Let's get this clear. Mr. Roche apologized if they happened, and they didn't happen." 'Sorry It Happened' But Ribicoff said he was under the conclusion that Roche was disturbed about the investigation and was "sorry it happened." Kennedy then spoke to Roche who was sitting in the spectators' section and asked him if that was the correct interpretation of his statement. Standing, Roche asked for time at the end of the hearing to clarify G.M.'s position. When Roche did return to the witness chair he said he wanted to make clear that he is taking responsibility for the actions that Nader and the committee complained about.

And he said he wanted to apologize and hoped the apology would be accepted "in the spirit it was given." While Roche, in his earlier appearance, had taken responsibility for any harassment of Nader by even though he said he learned about the month-long investigation only two weeks ago he disclaimed any G.M. responsibility for lures" and some other things of which Nader complained.

The 32-year-old crusader for auto safety, author of "Unsafe at Any Speed," testified earlier this month of peculiar events that happened to him after his book was published. Nader told of sleuths detectives quizzing following his friends him and old college acquaintances about his sex life, asking whether he was anti-Semitic, if he belonged to any left-wing groups.
