Japanese Youth Granted
30-Day Stay In U.S.
SAN'FRANCISCO t.-P — Now
that Kenichi Horie is here he can
stay a while as far as the U.S.
government is concerned.
Kenichi, 23, got here by sailing
alone in a 19-foot sailboat all the
way from Osaka, Japan — a trip
of exactly three months.
His feat surprised authorities
here and in Japan. And the fact
that he arrived Sunday without
passport has been somewhat brush
ed aside in the public reception
being given the 5-foot. 1-inch
youth with quick, broad smile.
The U.S. Immigration Service
thought it all over and granted
Kenichi a 30-dav stay Monday.
Rut District Director Ralph Holton
added, “he can stay here six
months as far as we’re concerned.”
Kenichi had a vision of staying
two years, to study, but that would
be stretching the already stretched
law to the breaking point.
"He’s a fine boy and a credit to
his count ” Holton told newsmen.
We’re not going to require him
to get out of the United States in
a hurry.”

Kennedy Looks Forward lo Multi -
Million Dollar Tax Slash In January
WASHINGTON W — President
Kennedy has decided against asking
an immediate tax cut, but has
promised to work for a multi-bil
lion dollar slash in individual and
corporate levies in January. He
feels the present tax system is a
“drag" on economic recovery and
growth.
His review of the economic situa
t'on and tax-cutting proposals in
a television-radio speech Monday
night drew generally favorable re
sponses in the business and fi
nancial world.
Hut, as in Congress, where his
decision not to ask a tax reduction
now brought general approval,
there were some in the business
community who said his approach
was political.
A post-breakfast conference at
the White House brought word
from Demorcratic congressional
leaders that they will push for
action this session on six bills
Kennedy said were needed to
strengthen the economy.
Will Push Six Bills
These include the tax bill now
before the Senate, the bill to pro
vide federal help to state and local
public works, the youth employ
ment opportunities measure, the
temporary unemployment compen
sation bill, the trade expansion bill,
and the proposal to aid higher
education.
"The leadership intends to do
its very best to see he does get
j those bills,’ Sen. Mike Mansfield,
the majority leader, said.
The White House, meanwhile
said several hundred telegrams had
been received since the speech,
: and they “run about 2 to 1 in
favor of the President’s stand.”
In Congress, the President’s call

Although opposing an immediate
I tax cut as one that might boom
| erang, Kennedy said that if the
unexpected happens — if the na
tion slides toward recession later
this year — he will call Congress
into special session to lighten the
“far too heavy” tax burden.
He described the present tax
system as “a drag on economic
recovery and economic growth,
; biting heavily into the purchasing
power of every taxpayer and every
. consumer.”
j A number of Democrats in Con
| gross applauded his speech. A num
j her of Republicans accused him
i of playing election-year politics,
i They emphasized a favorite COP
theme that slashes in government
spending should accompany tax
reductions.
With "Borrowed Money"
This theme was also stressed by
Sen. Harry Byrd, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee. He said
that when Kennedy submits his
tax measure, and his budget, next
year “he will have an opportunity
to indicate whether he plans to
reduce expenditures or pay for a
tax cut with borrowed money.”
Kennedy was serious of mien and

years.”
But this is the wrong time to call
for an immediate tax cut, he said.
Rejecting demands from the
US. Chamber of Commerce, the
AFL-CIO and others for such tc
tion, he said: “Under the right
circumstances that is a sound and
! effective weapon, but like many
weanons it should be fired only at
a period of maximum advantage.

Kennedy’s plan for tax reduc
tion next year, retroactive to Jan.
1. 1963, had been disclosed before.
But for the first time he mention
ed the scope of the cuts he desires
—“billions of dollars.”
The measure, he said, “will in
