Pace 2 PIAYGROUNO DAILY' NEWS, Ft. Walton Beach, Mon. Oct. 9, 19G5 Johnson Anti-Inflation Plan Hearings Start In Senate Today WASHINGTON (UPI) --The 1,100 of the nation's largest Senate will be asked Monday to approve President Johnson's anti-infiation plan that, according to one survey, will fall iar short ot the administration's aim to restrain investment. Theasury Secretary H.

Fowler goes before the Senate Finance Committee to plead for suspension of two tax breaks that have helped corpor- ate plant investments become one of the most inflationary aspects of the economy. The House last week approved its version of the program. It would withhold for 16 months the 7 per cent tax credit for corporate plant extension and modernization. The legislation would also suspend rapid tax writeoffs for depreciation on new buildings. The administration program Is designed to curtail the boom in plant investment.

Currently, firms are permitted to subtract from their net tax bill up to 7 per cent of the funds spent on plant expansion. Racing to meet consumer demand, firms have been building new plants, hiring more workers, buying more machinery and borrowing more to finance it all. But a survey by the Influential National Industrial Conference Board (NICE) indicates that President Johnson's program will have only a minor effect on pant investment. The New York-based board does research for industry and publications. The board's survey, a based on questions a capital investment plans put to firms between Sept.

13-20. With replies from 522 firms, the board said it appears that there will be no significant short term let-up in demand for capital goods by U.S. business. Many economists believe the legislation would dampen the demands starting in 1967. But the board survey showed that planned reductions from current levels would barely reach 3 per cent--even in the second half of 1967.

The survey tends to support ciitics of President's program who contend it is more a political move to appease the inflation-hit voters than an effective attack on rising prices and wages. Until recently, even Fowler has contended that suspension of the 7 per cent credit was an Weather Rocket Launch Called Success VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) satellite designed to televise daily picture coverage of the world's weather rocketed into a nearly perfect polar orbit Sunday. A U.S. space agency spokesman said the 320-pound spacecraft, called ESSA 3, would radio ils first test pictures, of the Northern Hemisphere, about noon Monday to a receiving station in Alaska.

"Everything looks good," the spokesman said several hours after the 3:39 a.m. PDT launching into a 114-minute orbit ranging from 859 to 923 miles above earth. Plans called for 1be 22 14 inch, hatbox-shaped spacecraft to go into a circular" orbit 865 miles high. It was the first West Coast launching of a Delta rocket, made up of a Thor missile with three solid rockets strapped on its sides for extra thrust and topped by two smaller stages, Deltas have orbited 37 satellites from Cape Kennedy, Fla. The satellite is the third of a series named for the Environmental Science Services Administration of the Department of Commerce.

Two earlier ESSAs were launched last February. They are members of the Tiros weather satellite family. ESSA 3's photographs will be stored on magnetic tape and radioed on command to ground stations. It carries two cameras, either of which can meet its goal of photographing weather all over the world once each day. Also aboard are sensors to measure the solar heat energy available to keep the earth's atmosphere in motion, creating storms and winds.

in the NICE the proposed ineffective way to slow the investment boom. Before bowing to the President on the suspension, Fowler indicated a flat corporate tax hike would be a more effective fiscal tool. More than 90 per cent of the firms polled survey said revisions would not spur them to cut their investment programs during the rest of 1066. The percentage fell to 82 per cent in the first half of 1967 and to 78 per cent for the second half of 1967. Several of the corporations noted that they had already curtailed capital programs in response to Johnson's request to restrain investment.

Some explained that their plant and equipment projects had been cut back by cash shortages and tight money. It rocked the critics and shocked sophisticated NO CHILDREN UNDER 16 WILL BE ADMITTED-SHOWS-- 5 p.m. p.m. BONN, West Germany (AP) Konrad Adenauer assailed U.S. policy Sunday on the ground it favors Asia over Europe.

The 91-year-old former chancellor also endorsed Eugen Gerstenmaier, president of the Bundestag, to succeed Chancellor Ludwig Erhard. Adenauer declared in a recorded television interview: "American policy in my opinion, and I have said it often, is jased on false assumptions. They see their greatest danger in Asia and I say that the greatest danger for the United States lies in Europe, and partly Russian Asia. "If Russia succeeds in taking over France and Germany intact, then the economic and military potential of Soviet Russia will be stronger than the American economic and military potential and the Soviet Union will be the strongest power on earth. And then the United States won't be able to do anything about it." Adenauer said an upcoming American-British-West German review of the defense situation was concerned with West German promises to buy goods in the United States and Britain.

"What is that all about?" he asked. "They know we can't pay, but the American side has taken that as a plausible reason to withdraw more troops." Recent "Soviet maneuvers in- Czechoslovakia, he said, were based on the assumption that there would be withdrawals, The object of the maneuvers, he explained, was to see if West German airfields could be destroyed before American reinforcements arrive. In an interview published by Welt am Sonntag, one of West Germany's most widely read Sunday papers, Adenauer said he had endorsed Gerstenamier "weeks ago." Gprsrenmaier's, name was pul forward last week by a weekly paper which put a headline "Gerstenmaier is ready 1o be chancellor" over an interview in whicn the Bundes- tag president said he was loyal to Erhard but that in some cases loyalty to country took precedence over loyalty to an individual. He said later he was not after Erhard's Adenauer had a friendly wore for Gerstenmaier in the television interview as well: "I hac absolutely decided not 1o take any more political initiatives, but I hold with what Herr Gerstenmaier said. When the need of the fatherland 1he dangei to Germany is as great as I believe it now is, then I too wil stand up for my differing opinion.

Hurricane-wise residents in Marathon Key, about midway down the Florida island chain, began boarding up windows and store fronts Sunday. However in the Miami area adopted a wait-and-see attitude. Inez' six-day rampage across he Caribbean proved to be one of the most deadly in recent listory.

He said 'at least 1,000" persons were -tilled in the little town of Jacmel on Haiti's southwest coast. Duvalier told his consul jeneral in Miami, Eugene Vlaximillien, that 100 were oiled in the capital city of Port au Prince.

(UPI Telephoto) Threat Forces Evacuation Of Baptist Church In Macon MACON, Ga. (UPI)--A bomb threat forced evacuation Sunday of the Tatnall Square Baptist Church where an African exchange student was denied entrance because of a church iule against seating Negroes.

The telephoned threat came as the student, Sam Jerry Oni, was making Ms second attempt attend services at the segregated church. The church was searched and no bomb was found. About half the congregation filed back into the building for the remainder of the services. Oni left saying he would not make any effort to attend the church again. "I have made my point," he said.

Oni told church deacons that Southern Baptists' had sent missionaries to his native country to convert him TO Christianity, then refused him admittance to a Baptist Church in Georgia. The deacons said Oni was a member of all white Vineville Baptist Church in Macon and offered to drive him to services at that church. Tho Tatnall Square congregation voted several weeks ago not to seat Negroes. The congregation fired the pastor, Dr. Thomas J.

Holmes; assistant pastor Douglas Johnson, and minister of music Jack N. Jones when they disagreed with the action. "We felt that we could not be true to the Christian faith and exclude people from the house of God on the basis of color," Holmes said. Police said the bomb threat was called to the church by what sounded like a "young, apparently well-educated man." Oni is a student at mercer University in Macon. University officials watched the incident Sunday from President Rufus Harris 1 home across from the church, but Dean of Students Joe Hendrick said they were "just observing." Third Party Move Depeno On November Poll Resutt WASHINGTON (AP) How segregationist candidates fare at the polls next month may determine whether there will be any strong 1968 third party movement for the first time in 20 years.

Alabama's Gov. George C. Wallace is waiting with great expectations for what he appears to regard as the certain election of his wife, Lurleen, as his stand-in at the Montgomery Capitol. Wallace will be dead politically if this doesn't happen. If it does, he will be more or less openly running for president on a third party ticket the day.

But to mount a third party movement of any force he would need the kind of intensive help other governors provided when Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina polled 1.69 million votes and got 39 electoral votes in 1948. Wallace has some vague commitments from some other Southern governors at this point. But they are certain to look at the election returns before they risk a fresh Dixiecrat excursion.

"Our men in Viet Nam need these planes, these helicopters, these weapons," said Johnson's statement. "They are essential to their very lives. And they need them now--not next week or next month." The President, spending the weekend at his retreat in Camp David, consulted during the day with Wirtz and Califano. Wirtz telephoned the statement to negotiators in New York before it was released at the White House. Califano, in response to a question, said there was no mention of invoking the Taft- Hartley law, which could allow an 80-day, eooling-off period.

He said no time or site had yet been set for Monday's nego- riations. 'Miss Flame' To Be Chosen The Eglin Fire Protection Division has plans for the Miss Flame contest well in hand.

Marcos and Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato agreed Sunday to strive for peace in Viet Nam and to cooperate in economic development projects in the Philippines. Both expressed "serious concern" over the war in Viet Nam.

The two leaders issued a joint communique only hours before Marcos was to end his six day state visit to Japan. Marcos and Sato said they would strive, each in his own way, to bring about peace in Viet Nam. But the communique made no mention of the projected seven- nation allied summit conference scheduled to be held in the Philippines Oct. 18. in Maryland's presidential mary in 1964.
