Connally sees biggest deficit By MICHAEL L. POSNER WASHINGTON (UPl)—Trea siry Secretary John B. Connal ly predicts the administration may run up a budget deficit of up to S2B billion this fiscal year —the highest one-year red ink spending since World War 11. Connally made his estimate as the focus on economic developments turned to Capitol Hill where President Nixon was scheduled to address a joint session of Congress at 12:30 p.m. EDT. The fiscal year that ended June 30 saw a deficit of $23.2 billion. Connally gave his outlook for the current business year to the House Ways and Means Committee Tuesday as the panel opened its hearing on Nixon’s tax plans for stimulat ing the economy. During his appearance Con nally urged Congress to ap prove the tax reduction plans intact, likening the individual and corporate tax cuts as needed like “fingers on a hand.” Nixon has proposed eliminat ing the 7 per cent auto excise tax; advancing to 1972, instead of 1973, previously scheduled increases in the personal exemption and standard deduc tions; implementing a 10 per cent investment tax credit; and granting tax deferrals for U.S. exporters. Nixon’s tax plans would reduce government tax receipts by $5.8 billion in the govern ment year ending next July 1. On a calendar year basis, the reductions total $9.5 billion.

Law ford to wed Mary Rowan HOLLYWOOD (UPl)—Peter Lawford, 48, and Mary Rowan, 21, daughter of comedian Dan Rowan, will be married Oct. 31, the actor announced Wednes day. Lawford said his son, Chris, 16, would act as best man. The wedding date is Miss Rowan’s 22nd birthday. Lawford was divorced by Patricia Kennedy in Gooding, Idaho, in 1966 ending 11 years of marriage. Mrs. Lawford, aster of the late President John F. Kennedy, was granted custody of their four children. Rowan, of television’s “Row an and Martin’s Laugh-In,” said of the planned marriage, “I’ve known Peter for a number of years and found him to be a gentleman. He and Mary have been going steadily for a year now and seem to know one another very well. I’d rather see her marry a man closer to her own age than mine. But they are in love.” Bug bags SHOEBURYNESS, England (UPl)—When an unidentified object showed up on radar screens heading for the secret army gunnery range, the army asked the coast guard to investigate.

(UPI) Kennedy Center rings with bravos, applause WASHINGTON (UPI)-Overwhelmed, Mrs. Rose Kennedy stood proudly in the red velvet Presidential box taking her bows. Bravos and applause rocked the rafters at the brilliant opening of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. “I’m thrilled,” said the 81-year-old matriarch of the Kennedy family. “I know the President—my son—would have been, too.” Mrs. Kennedy led a joyful procession to the new S7O million center on the Potomac Wednesday night to hear the much heralded opening performance—“ Mass” by composer Leonard Bernstein. The late President’s widow, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who had commissioned “Mass”, remained at her home on the Greek Island of Skorpios “for personal and private” reasons. Mrs. Kennedy and her family were ecstatic in their praise of the unorthodox dramatic religious theatre piece. She thought it was “beautiful...lovely stu pendous.” “I was overwhelmed,” she told reporters. “I’d like to see it two or three times.” Mrs. Kennedy, a devout Catholic, was one of the few persons who stood when the celebrant on stage, said: “Let us rise and pray.” But her reaction was not unanimous. Tart-tongued octengenarian Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, said: “I enjoyed it enormously. Next to ‘Hair’ it was my favorite maudlin thing.” Asked what impressed her the most, she smiled and said: “Nothing.” The Rev. Gilbert Hartke, chairman of the Drama Department at Catholic University, questioned the composer’s knowledge of Catholic liturgy. Not even a believer,” said Father Hartke. “He doesn’t know anything about the mass.” Bernstein is Jewish.

MEADE, Md. (UPI)— The prosecution has won a preliminary legal round in its effort to prove that Col. Oran K. Henderson received reports of atrocities at My Lai in 1968 but failed to follow up with a thorough investigation. The military judge at Hender son’s court-martial, Col. Peter S. Wondolowski, ruled Wednes day after a round of arguments by the government and Hender son’s chief defense attorneys that a witness could describe the angry complaints of a helicopter pilot about operations he said he found on the ground in the sweep during which an estimated 50 to over 100 unarmed civilians were killed. The witness, Maj. Thelmar A. Moe, now stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., then told Thursday, September 9 7 the jury that he heard Wo Hugh Thompson, the pilot, report heatedly to his commanding officer on at least two incidents which he said disturbed him. Moe testified Thompson twice confronted Maj. Frederic Watke, his commanding officer. One time, Moe said, Thompson told of a sergeant who was going to wound a child Thompson was evacuating. Moe said that at another point Thompson told Watke how he talked to a lieutenant about “women and possibly old men” and how he “wanted to get them out of there.” “I would say Mr. Thompson was angry, indignant and emotional,” Moe said when questioned about Thompson’s attitude and demeanor at the time.
