congressional activities and then leaped into the controversy raised by the Senate speech of Senator John Williams Delaware Republican and criticism of the Baker affair by Rep William Miller of New York Republican national chairman and Rep 11 Gross Iowa Republican Williams told the Senate Wednesday he can see no difference between the stereo set and the mink coats and deep freezes of the Truman administration scan- dais or the vicuna coat and oriental rug accepted by President Eisenhower's top aid Sherman Adams from Bernard Go Idfine The President told first of the purchase of the policies made after the heart attack he suffered in 1955 They were bought by the Johnsons' company he said so that Mrs Johnson and their daughters would not have to sell their stock and lose control of the company "in case something happened to me" The firm is the LBJ Company a holding company for the John-sons' radio and television inter ests On a portion of the premiums the President said Reynolds got "a small commission" BY WILLIAM MOORE WASHINGTON Jan 23 (CTS) Pwsident Johnson personally told reporters Thursday that his now celebrated $585 stereo set was a gift from Bobby Baker Don Reynolds who sold the President insurance policies to taling $200000 has testified that he gave the set to Johnson in MA when Johnson was Senate Democratic floor leader The Senate rules committee which is investigating the Bobby Baker affair has a photograph of the manufacturer's invoice hich designates Johnson as the man to receive the stereo and Reynolds as the man to be billed for it The President had denied this after the story of the gift became known Tuesday through Pierre Salinger White House press secretary who said Baker presented the set The Chief Executive took the unusual stxp of replying to criticism personally late in an unusual day for White House reporters Salinger had cautioned them to remain close at hand the customary indication that a major announcement is to be made Ile cautioned them several times as the day wore on in an atmosphere of tense expectation Late in the day they were summoned to the Fish Room a White House conference room where President Johnson read them what he said was a restatement of the administration's position on Panama Veteran reporters found little in it to account for the tenseness that had prevailed No one asked any questions about the statement One of the veterans asked how months in advance of an election Efforts by civil rights forces in Congress to outlaw the poll tax as a requirement for voting in federal elections date back more than 20 years But their attempts to do this by statute foundered in the Senate Anti-poll tax bills were passed by the House at le3st three times only to be filibustered to death in the Senate by Southern forces Southern senators and others argued that the Constitution gives the states the power to determine the qualifications of voters and that the poll tax could be outlawed only by a constitutional amendment The battle took a new turn when in the 81st Congress in 1949 Holland sponsored an anti-poll tax amendment to the Constitution To begin with he had only eight or 10 co-sponsors but in each succeeding Congress he reoffered his proposed amendment When he introduced it in the 87th Congress 67 other senators were listed as co-sponsors and on March 27 1962 the Senate voted 77-16 to approve the amendment The House followed suit on August 27 by a 294-86 vote Holland's fight against the poll tax goes back to his days as a state senator when he played a key role in Florida's elimination of its poll tax in 1937 BtarTelewram Photo SOMETHING Reynolds retired StarTelegram city circulation manager got a kiss from wife Mildred in addition to a gold watch and other gifts at a

ADS GET RESULTS: EDison 2-7722 office The South Dakota Senate ratified the 24th Amendment by a vote of 34 to The House approved it last week South Dakota thus became the 38th state to approve the amendment Ratification by three-fourths of the 50 states was required This represented the culmination of a long fight spearheaded by a Southern Senator Spessard Holland Florida Democrat Republicans in the South Dakota Senate complained that undue pressure was applied from Washington to speed up action President Johnson had telephoned the state Democratic chairman John Engel on behalf of the amendment The measure had been at the bottom of the Senate calendar but minority Democrats succeeded in having it pushed up to the top While formal certification cermonies probably will be conducted here later they are only a formality arranged by the General Services Administration No further legal action was necessary to make the amendment effective after South Dakota completed its ratification NEITHER THE President nor Congress were required to take any further action in the ratification process The amendment provides that the right to vote in any primary or general election for President or vice president or for senator or representative in Congress shall not be denied because of the failure to pay a poll tax or any other tax Only five states Alabama Arkansas Mississippi Texas and make poll tax payments a requirement for voting Adoption of the amendment will not bar these states from continuing to require voters in elections to pay a poll tax since it applies only to federal elections But whether this will be administratively feasible remains to be seen The Virginia Legislature anticipating ratification of the anti-poll tax amendment already bas taken action designed to offset its effect in part at least The new Virginia law in addition to retaining the states $150 poll tax for state elections provides that anyone wishing to vote only in federal elections must file a certificate of residence six months in advance The requirement for doing this like the requirement for paying a poll tax is expected to cut down on the number of voters The Virginia law already is under attack as unconstitutional but it could be the forerunner of similar action by the other poll tax states I MONNIFG'S TCU Reynolds a veteran of 33 years service with the Star-Telegram Other

had approved an amendment Monday for repeal of that levy As the bill now stands all federal excise or sales taxes would be continued without change In another final-day action the committee struck from the measure a provision for a maximum income tax rate of 50 per cent for persons choosing to forego various deductions credits and other allowances in filing their returns Administration sources reported that President Johnson "hit the ceiling" when he heard of the committee's approval of the sales-tax amendments at Thursday morning's session Ile immediately began telephoning the committee chairman Senator Harry Byrd Virginia Democrat and other members As a result Senator Clinton Anderson New Mexico Democrat moved at the afternoon session to reverse not only the morning's decisions but also Monday's action on the theater-ticket tax Ills motion was adopted 9 to 8 Senators said the President was mainly concerned over the fact that the repeal amendments would have increased the bill's cost in terms of revenue losses to the treasury by nearly $500- 000000 dollars Another consideration they reported was the prospect of additional repeal amendments on the Senate floor once the door had been opened "Where it would have ended nobody knows" one senator remarked "We might even have repealed the Social Security tax Nine of the committee's Democrats voted for the Anderson reversal
