June 27 Hi A compromise bill keeping in force four billion dollars in corporation income tax rates and excise levies cleared the House today.

But the Senate wanted to talk about It, and a final vote was postponed to tomorrow. There was virtually no doubt the measure would be sent to the White House ahead of a Thursday midnight deadline, when the taxes would drop back automatically to pre-Korean war rates or expire the extension action. As Congress moved toward ad journment of this session, perhaps next week, there were these other legislative developments: i. ine benate. by voice vote.

Brown also said he had no intention of revealing where the California delegation will turn ultimately, nor would he state his own preference between Kennedy and Stevenson. He said he expects to get California's 81 votes on the first bal lot at Los Angeles but that the picture could change before the first roll call Is over. Meyner was taking a similar stance with reference to what New Jersey's delegation will do.

May BUts Convention Kennedy still may reach his goal or blitzing the convention on the first ballot at Los Angeles next month. And he still could get a sizeable assist from the California and New Jersey delegations in doing it. 'The nation's governors were busy talking politics on the side and discussing the whole field of education in their first formal business session. Brown has had friendly words for Kennedy. But he told a reporter that he certainly isn't going to use the governor's conference as a backdrop for an program to helD cities Yugoslavia, but it slowing down the arms and nu clear weapon race for the present.

An all-Western rump confer ence continued to alt after the walkout to assess the damage. The five Western delegates contend the adjournment of the conference by the days chair man Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marian Naszkowski, while they were vainly clamor ing for the floor waa Illegal, But their decision to meet again tomorrow on the slim hope that the Reds would show up was mainly reminiscent of the Western summit leaders' wait in Paris in mid-May for Soviet Premier Nlklta Khrushchev to come around after his lashings at President Elsenhower. A Communist source said the continued sitting by Britain, France, the United States, Italy and Canada was utterly ludicrous. The tumult over the dramatic walkout was disclosed in the verbatim record released tonight. Communists Speak Naszlcowskl called on his four C6mmunist colleagues one by one, and then spoke himself, to Justify the walkout The record then went like this: "Naszkowski: "That was my statement in my capacity as representaUve of Poland.

determine If the death was suicide or accidental. The coroner said John Frailey, 59, was shot in the head with a shotgun. He estimated that the gun had been only 18 to 24 Inches from Fralley's head. The body was found at 6 am. outside the Prailey home by Donnle Frailey, son of the victim.

Members of the family told the coroner that the victim had been shooting at red foxes which had been raiding his chicken house. Besides the son, Frailey is also survived by a daughter, Mrs. Ida Corder, Beach Grove, three brothers, James and Robert Frailey, Cave-In-Rock, and Arthur Frailey, Chester, and a sister, Mrs. Ethel Burshlre, Columbus, Ohio.

world peace. In a radio-TV report to the nation, Elsenhower blamed Communist-Inspired riots" for blocking his visit to Japan. But he said ratification of the new U. 8. -Japanese Security Treaty which the rioters sought to thwart was "a signal defeat for International communism that far outweighs' the blocking of his visit Eisenhower reported he has no plans for further foreign Journeys during his remaining months In the White House.

But he made plain he would not be dissuaded by any Red-promoted opposition. nouncing a preference for any body. And Meyner told a news con ference he expects his name to be put In nomination as a favorite son at Los Angeles. That would give him New Jersey's 41 votes on the first ballot. Kennedy supporters claim some 35 of those votes wUl wind up with their man, possibly through a switch before the first roU call is closed.

Meyner said the New Jersey delegation will caucus after the first ballot and decide what to do. The 61 California votes are an even bigger prize. "What I do will depend on the California delegation," Brown said. "It will meet July 10, the day before the convention opens. The Brown and Meyner stands obviously were a setback to Kennedy's hopes of nailing down the nomination before the voting actually gets under way.

But his supporters here regarded them as only temporary setbacks. It takes 761 Votes to put over a nominee. Gov. Michael V. Disalle of Ohio, a strong Kennedy man, said he finds most Democratic governors for the Massachusetts senator, either openly or unof- See PAGE 4, Column 1.

Because some contracts now wUl be awarded sooner than had been expected, officials said spending on roads during the next 12 months will exceed the $2,873,613,000 originally contemplated. They said they, have not yet estimated the amount of the additional spending. Contract controls are designed to keep road spending in line with the revenues of the highway trust fund, financed from taxes on highway users. (In Frankfort, Deputy Highway Commissioner J. C.

Moore said he had not yet received official word of Mueller's move and "would not be In a position to say what effect it will have on Kentucky." (Harold Tipton of the Frankfort office of the VS. Bureau of Public Roads likewise said he had not been informed officially and therefore had no comment. (Kentucky Highway Commissioner Earle Clements and Frankfort public roads bureau chief J. C. Cobb both were out of town and unavailable fori comment.) 1 Bluffed The United States must "never be bluffed, cajoled, blinded or frightened" by Red tactics aimed at splitting the free world, he said.

He declared the value of his visit to 27 countries since he took office In 1953 has been proved by what he said was a "Communist decision some time ago" to oppose goodwill tours. Aaks Continuation Of Trade The President appealed to Americans not to allow "the unhappy events of the past several weeks in Japan" to impair U. S.Japanese trade relations or weaken the friendship "which unites the vast majority of the Japanese and American people." Elsenhower reported to the American people a day after returning from a two-week Journey to the Philippines, Formosa, South Korea and U. Okinawa. His planned visit to Japan was called off after Japanese mobs, opposing a new security treaty with the United States, created near chaos there.

The President attacked what he termed Communist-Inspired demonstrations against his trip. rie aiso gave a basic defense of his undertakings in personal diplomacy since he came to the White House in 1953. He noted that now. since he is near the end of his presidential tenture, "the brosoects are he wUl not be going abroad as President again. Rebuffs Demo Criticism By Implication.

Eisenhower also rebuffed criticism -from some Democrats In the aftermath of the summit conference blowup and the cancellation of his Japanese visit We cannot win out aealnst the Communist purpose to domi nate the world by being timid, passive or apologetic when we are acting in our own and the free world's interests," Elsenhower said. "We must accept the rteks of bold action with coolness and courage. All the profit gained bv past and any possible future tripe (by U. S. leaders) will be quick ly dissipated should we Americans abandon our present course In foreign relations or slacken our efforts in co-opera tive programs with our friends." Then Elsenhower, noting he has been to 27 countries as President, added this "personal word:" "So far as any future visits of my own are involved, I have no plans, no other particular trip in mind.

Considering the shortness of the time before next January, and the unavoidable preoccupations of the few months remaining, it would be difficult to accept any invita tion for me, again, to go abroad. Says Trips Valuable "But so long as the threat Communist domination may hang over the free world. I believe that any future president will conclude that reciprocal visits by heads of friendly governments have great Value in promoting free world solidarity. "And this I assure you: "If any unforeseen situation or circumstances arising in the near future should convince me that another Journey of mine would still further strengthen the bonds of friendship between us and others, I would not hesi tate a second in deciding to make still an additional effort of this kind.

advised by the Kentucky water pollution control commission that they not be permitted to dump raw sewage into the lake. They requested a meeting with representatives of the water pollution control commission which was held In Lyon County three weeks ago. After that meeting, Mr. Lampkln requested the legal opinion of Attorney General Breckinridge on the government's responsibility to provide sewage treatment facilities to the residual towns and the penitentiary. His reply.

Which was addressed to Mr. Lampkln. was received In Lyon County today. Meeting HONO KONG, June 27 W) Red China's Commun 1st leadership Is reported today to be meeting In the Shanghai area to discuss its wrangle with the So viet party over the meaning of the term "peaceful coexistence." The split between the two big Communist allies appears to have reached the stage of a hot war of words between Moscow and Peiping. Speculation around the rim of the Communist world Is that the Chinese Communist party central committee is determined to give the entire quarrel a thorough airing.

The report of the Chinese meeting came against a background of warlike propaganda from Pelplng, keyed to the 'liberate Formosa" slogan. The Red Chinese put forward the hint that It would go along with So viet Premier Nlklta S. Khrush chev's Ideas of peaceful coexistence only if and when na-, tlonallst-held Formosa is shorn of American military support and brought under Pelplng's de- monation. Informed quarters in Hong Kong say Chairman Mao Tze- Tung, President Liu Shao-Chl and Premier Chou En-Lai are attending the current meeting. In effect, the quarrel revolves about Khrushchev's insistence that in a world faced with weapons of mass destruction, there must be revision of the Leninist theory that war with capitalism is Inevitable.

Thus, Khrushchev has been defending his policy of top-level, personal diplomacy. Say War Inevitable The Chinese Communists con-' tend war remains Inevitable as long as capitalism exists, and that Khrushchev was wrong wnen he attributed any peaceful intentions to president Eisenhower. Peiping has been issuing violent blasts against "modern re visionism." The term usually is applied to President Tito of as been Khrushchev recently wno nas been revising the basic tenents of Leninism with regard to war and peace. Peiping is accompanying these blasts with ominous saber-rattling and propaganda against Chiang Kai-shek's American-supported nationalist regime on Formosa. The Communist capital raUied 50,000 militiamen, armed with mortars, machine guns and -rifles in a "liberate Formosa" rally.

The excuse was the 10th anniversary of the order by President Truman to the UJS. 7th Fleet to prevent a Communist attack on Formosa or a nationalist Invasion of the mainland from Formosa during the Korean War, Call Ike 'Bandit Chief This was accompanied bv ex tremely violent personal attacks on President Eisenhower. Liu Jen, political commissar of the Peiping Garrison Command, speaking to the militia, described Eisenhower as a "bandit chieftain," and compared him to "a rat running across the street with everyone shouting 'kill in this connection.

Sabotage Is Claimed In Cuban Blast HAVANA, June 27, Cuban authorities tonight soft-pedaled talk that sabotage caused a munitions dump explosion which rocked Havana like an earthquake and left three persons dead. Investigations continued. A claim that the Cuban anti-Castro organization called La Cruz (the Cross) touched off the big Sunday night blast was received here in official silence.

A Miami, spokesman for La Cruz said time bombs handled by its agents caused the detonation of the old ammunition and explosives that stunned Havan-ans, shattered windows over a four-mile area and left only a smoking crater where the depot naa stood on Havana bay. Trucks carrying the time bomb were parked about 6 p. m. yes terday near the depot at Cayo Cruz on the southwest corner of the bay, La Cruz' spokesman told the Miami News. Two small blasts preceded the terrific, earth-shaking outburst shortly before 7 p.

Cubans looked to Prime Minis ter Fidel Castro for an an nouncement of the government's official position. Castro, who has blamed United States for Cuba's troubles, may discuss the explosion in a previously sched uled TV address before the sugar workers union tomorrow night. The armed forces press bureau listed three dead one killed in the explosion, another man run down by a car in the excitement of the incident and a woman felled by a heart attack. More than 200 persons were reported injured. Many of these were cut by flying glass.

A guard detachment of Cuban soldiers based only 200 yards from the dump was relaUvely unharmed.

The House approved, by voice vote, a requirement that there be detailed public accounting of all counterpart funds spent by Congress members and employes while on government business abroad. Counterpart funds are foreign currencies acquired by the United States under its foreign aid operations. Administration Bill The tax bill would retain pre sent rates on corporation in come and current excises for another year. The Elsenhower administra tion anxiously pressed for con tinuation of these taxes, contending that loss of the money they bring in would kill any hope of balancing the budget. Under this same bill, the tem porary legal debt ceiling would be pegged at 293 billion dollars 2 billion below the present tem porary lid but 8 billion higher than the permanent limit.

The legislation would keep the tax rate on corporation profits at 52 per cent Without the extension, the rate would drop to 47 per cent, costing the treasury about 2'4 billion dollars.

100 Dead In Luzon Typhoon MANILA. June 27 6PV Ty phoon Olive hacked across the Island of Luzon Monday with 80-mile winds and slashing rain, leaving at least 100 reported dead and hundreds missing. It was the Philippines second major weather disaster in a month. Valuable coconut trees, crops, homes and schools were blown down and washed away throughout Southern Luzon. Bridges and roads were out.

Tens of thous ands of persons were homeless. Property damage soared. The typhoon boiled off across the China Sea. Manila, a metropolis of two million, was partly paralyzed.

Ample warning held the casualty toll down in the Manila area. The picturesque resort and port city of Legaspi, 150 miles to the southeast, was hit hard. Legaspi lies in the shadow of cone-shaped Mt.

This compares with actual output last week of 1,739,000 tons or 61 per cent ot capacity and is the lowest since production of 1,291,000 tons in the week of November 9, 1959, when mills were starting up after a long strike.
