Two Russian Ships
Steam Through Sub
Thresher Search Area
ABOARD USS FT. SNELLING
W — Two Russian ships Thurs
day steamed through the subma
rine Thresher search area in the
face of a United States request
that all shipping stay 25 miles
away during the underwater opera
tions.
Both were escorted from the
area by the USS Ft. Snelling, com
mand ship in the search operations
for the missing nuclear powered
submarine.
Two other Russian vessels earlier
this week passed through the area
and those also were asked to
change their courses, because of
search dives by the bathyscape
Trieste.
Other than one unidentified
vessel the Russians were the only
vessels to pass in the search area
since the Trieste arrived at the
site 220 miles off Boston last
Sunday.
The Soviet ships passed about
four hours apart. Both were iden
tified as support ships for Soviet
trawlers operating in the North
Atlantic.
Helen Keller Has
Decided to Relax a Little
EASTON, Conn. Uf) — After a
bustling life, Helen Keller had
decided to relax a little.
So there wasn’t any fuss yester
day — her 83rd birthday.
But there was no rest for the
mailman as he bore his heavy
burden to Miss Keller’s sprawl
ing old house, Arcan Ridge.
Greetings to the blind and deaf
author came from the humble and
the great. There also were bou
quets of roses, Miss Keller’s
favorite flower.
“You are one of the select com
pany of men and women whose
achievements have become legend
ary in their own life,” writes Pres
ident Kennedy.
In recent years, Miss Keeler has
limited her activity but she con
tinues as a consultant to the
American Foundation for the
Blind.
“Miss Keller is happy, alert and
content,” says Mrs. Evelyn Seide,
her secretary and companion.
“But she now wants to enjoy
some of the quiet that has been de
nied her over the years.”

GOP Leaders
Don’t Foresee a
Tax Cut this Year
WASHINGTON W — Republican
congressional leaders said Thurs
day the prospects of a tax cut this
year are becoming “increasingly
remote.”
Sen. Everett Dirksen, Senate
minority leader, said that in the
light of administration pressure
for civil rights legislation, he has
begun to “wonder whether the
administration wants a tax cut for
this calendar year.”
He added that when the ad
ministration wants something vital
ly it knows when to put on the
pressure and “there seems to be
no pressure at the present time”
for a tax cut.
Rep. Charles Halleck, House
minority leader, told the same
news conference that accumulat
ing evidence “makes the matter
of a tax cut more improbable all
the time.”
Sen. Mike Mansfield, the Senate
majority leader, promptly chal
lenged the GOP appraisal. Asked
for comment, he told newsmen:
“We still will make every effort
to pass a tax bill this year.”
He said he hoped and expected
the bill would be ready for the
start of Senate debate within two
months after the House has acted
on it.

DUNGANSTOWN, Ireland UP —
President Kennedy returned to the
homestead of his Irish forefathers
Thursday and drank tea in the
barnyard with cousins and their
neighbors.

serve “cousin Jack.”
The party assembled in the barn
yard between Mrs. Ryan’s house
and the tin-roofed cottage the
President’s great-grandfather, Pat
rick Kennedy, left when he emi
grated to Boston 120 years ago.
Hundreds of jubilant Irish mill
ed around the lane in front of
Mrs. Ryan's home.
The President came to the ham
let of Dunganstovvn after a tumult
uous welcome from thousands at
nearby New Ross, the port from
which Patrick Kennedy sailed to
the United States. “If he hadn’t
left, I’d be working at the Alba
tross Co.,” Kennedy told the wel
comers, drawing a roar of laughter.

The streets of New Ross — a
virtually sleepy port of 5,000 —
bulged with crowds of excited Irish
who cheered wildly as the Presi

car.
Chairman A. R. Minihan of the

“The late Pope John XXIII was
known as the Pope of Peace. We
