L . T. OLDS, FISHER. FRIDAY , NOVEMBER 1 5, 1963 (Hottelel substitut ing ) Preside 11 t Kennedy 's em p has is on j obs in toda y 's address - was appropriate enough , speaking before - the nation's largest labor organization. The AF L -CJO . Still , Mr. Kenned y 's insistence - was worth noting. He went out of his way - lo put employment before civil rights. Stressing that it's impossi6le to take advantage of civil rights - unless you have the fiaancial wherewithal. Unless you ha v e - a job. That's why the President reiterates - wlr.at he has said so often - that we need a tax cut now. He thinks a tax cut would prevent - a recessio,i. AND keep employment - on a high plateau . ln spite of the t' resi d ent's a p eal - wort on bis tax bill is ~ t goin g to be s p eeded up. The ~enate Finance Committee, so deciding - ay a vote of eleTen to one. The sole '1••- Hartke of Indiana, who sponsored the proposal. lhat this means in practice - is thet ~ongre•• almost certainly will not p ass a tax cut t h is year. ~ authorization The foreign aid/that has just passed the Sanate - calls for over three and one-half billion dollars. A lot of money· but eight hundred million less than President Iennedy asked for. A good exa■ple of Senate cuts in the Adainistratbl fi1ure - ia the contingency fund. The •titt7• - for e ■ er1enciea. The Preai4ent wanted - three hundred aillioa 4ollar1. The Senat• reduce• that aaount - b7 al ■oat half. Even 10 - forei1n aid ia not out of the wooda. '-' The ■ eaaure now go•• to a 8•-nate-Bouae Conference Co ■■ ittee - where differences between the two chaabera •ill be diacuaaed. I BARGHOORN One indication of how little the Soviets under - stand the West - is their attitude to the arrest of Professor Bargoorn. Not merely the want of legal gu a r a" t e es - to /Jr o t e c t the ind i vi dual in the so v i e t Union. That /Joint has bern clear enough - since Stalin's reign of terror. The really mystifying angle is the Soviet assumption - that the United States would treat the Barghoorn case as an isolated incident. And go ahead with negotiations - for new cultural exchanges. The Russians seem genuinely surprised - that Washington has brought those negotiations to a dead stop. More than that, Americans are showing our resentment in both the United States and the Soviet Union. The Russian cultural mission over here- is twiddling its thumbs. Or,r officials have ber,,i ordered to give the members the cold shoulder - i,11til BARGHOORN - 2 Professor Barghoor11 is released. And in Moscow, Americans boy otted today's anniversary celebration. It's thi1•ty years since Franklin Delano Roosevelt restored diplomatic relatio,zs - with Russia. A lot of Russians tt1rned up at Moscow's Friendship House - for the festivities. Americans from the Moscow Embassy - were conspicuously abseNt. And the Russians insist - they don't know why! Maybe they should ask - Frederick Barghoorn. Ji SI a EIU«l. Th• American delay of two Soviet vehicles tod a, - was meticulously ti ■ed. Exectly twenty minutes - for the coamand car. Exactly nineteen minutes - tor th• bua. Each case - retaliation. That's how long the Soviet• held up two Aaerican patrol cars - in East Berlin. A fact that an Aaerican offic•r explained to th• lua•lan• - before they were allowed to proceed. as for Allied traffic on the autobahn to leat Berlin - it'• aoving without hindrance. ~ritish, frencb aacl Aaerican convoJ• are being waved on throqh - t.be Coaauniat checkpoint.a. The in•eatigation ot Bobby Baker - who used to be Secretary to the De ■ ocrat1 in Congrea1 - took a new turn today. We've heard the questiona about - Baker'• actiYitiea o~aide Congress. Today th• question ca■• up - about his aoti•itiea insiGe ~ongre11. Did the Majority SecretarJ - work againat aeabera ot tb• Uajorit7?

Both of the vessels remained afloat - as long as they were locked together by the impact ot their collision. And the freighter was able to proceed under her own stea ■ - they after!•• were parted. But the tanker began to ■ hip water - where she had ■ en torn open. She settled slowly - and then went down ■ tern first. The water isn't deep - at that point oft Bu11ard'• Bay, Massachusetts. So the bow of the tanker - le above the surface. A danger to ■ hipping - until the U.S. Aray Engineer• re■ove the wreckage. ATOMIC The second American atomi c explosion in two da v s - makes e x actl y one hundred since w e resumed testing. And tonight there is more i nformation abottt what our scientists are doing - in Ne v ada. They are carrying out experiments - to see how far underground explosions can be detected. Here 's - how th e s ys t em works . Large scale photos are taken of the area - before the blast. And - afterward. The idea being - to pick up any discrepancie& To see how the sr,rface of the earth is rearranged - when a nuclear device goes off underground. The Emperor of Ethiopia spoke very circumspectly today - but there was no mistaking his implication. Haile Selassie is moving to prevent - any ~oviet penetration of Africa. The Emperor's first concern being his neighbor - So ■ alia - which•• says ia getting arms from Russia. Secondly, he appeals to Algeria and Morroco to settle their border quarrel - without foreign interYention. Without bringing in - Communist troop• or weapon,. RUSSIA We reported last night that the So iet got ernme,zl is tr\ ing to reduce alcoholism b making drunks pay lo ober up in state hospitals and drying-out establishments. Today comes a ' repo1"t that runs the other way -- or perhaps even explains the first. The Soviet Union apparently is trying to buy alcohol in the United States to meet a shortage of vodka. The President of a big Ane rican distilli,ig firm says that it has been approached about tlie possibility of selling thirty thousand tons of drinking alcohol to the Soviets. Such an amount would cost about $50 million. The tnsuiries come on the heels of negotiations to buy 150 million bushels of US wheat for a qtlarter of a billion dollars. The vodka deal would perhaps be an even greated blow to Russian pride than to the pocketbook - it was only last week that Nikita Khrushchev told visiting A merica,i business men, "011r vodka is better RUSSIA - 2 titan you-rs". Of course he could do three things at o,ece, salve his pride, save his money and dry out #tis drunks by not importing any. That's the news. As LT would say, so long a,,etil Monday
