WASHINGTON (UPI) - Taxpaying
Americans will have a few dollars a
week less to spend early next year
because neither President Ford nor
Congress will budge from their
positions on whether a federal spending
ceiling should be attached to a tax cut
bill.
The House Thursday upheld Ford’s
veto of a six-month extension of 1975’s
tax cuts. Frustrated Democrats said
they had no further plans this year to
try again.
want the story told right.”
“It may be a book, or series
of articles or television inter
view,” he added, “but it
certainly is not going to be
further news conferences.”
Mrs. Exner, now the wife of
professional golfer Dan Exner,
emerged from 15 years of
obscurity when bits of her life
crept into secret Senate com
mittee testimony about CIA
assassination plots. She told a
news conference Wednesday
she had a personal relationship
with two Mafia figures at the
same time she was seeing the
late President.
But she never discussed her
relationship with Kennedy when
seeing Chicago Mafia chief Sam
Giancana and his associate
John Roselli, she told reporters.
Monaghan said Mrs. Exner
talked with representatives of
CBS’ “60 Minutes” program
shortly after the news conferen
ce.
A spokesman for George
Hoover, executive producer of
information services for CBS in
New York, said “60 Minutes”
representatives are not bidding
for the story.
“No money will ever be put
up for this,” he said.
In her prepared statement,
she said she knew Giancana,
Santa visits Elves
By ELAINE S. POVICH
JACKSON, Miss. (UPI) -
Some little elves got a visit
from Santa Claus Thursday.
Dr. Alfred W. Brann, dressed
in the traditional red suit and
long white beard, dropped in on
a Christmas party for
“graduates” of the intensive
care nursery at University
Hospital Medical Center here.
Brann, a member of the Emory
School of Medicine faculty in
Atlanta, is the former director
of the UMC newborn center.
All of the “elves” are
children who came into the
He wanted
money back
BERKELEY, Calif. (UPI) —
Randolph G. Grant, 32, tried to
get his money back from a
nude massage parlor on
grounds he had been acting as
an undecover policeman when
he paid a visit, but the ruse
backfired.
Grant was suspended from
his job as a University of
California campus policeman
and arrested on a charge of
attempted petty theft.
City detectives said he paid
S3O for a visit at the Intercity
Consultant Agency on Dec. 8.
They said he was wearing a
Navy reservist’s uniform when
he visited the massage parlor.
The next day, they said, he
showed up at the parlor in his
campus uniform, told employes
he was working undercover for
the city Police Department and
demanded a return of his
money on grounds he had used
city cash.
Inspector Frank Sabatini said
Grant failed the first time and
returned to the parlor on
several occasions trying to get
his money back.
Congress then began packing to go
home this afternoon for Christmas.
Further efforts eventually will be
made to pass a tax cut. But unless some
surprise compromise evolves, that will
not be until next year. The cut could be
made retroactive, but in the meantime,
withholding rates will rise by roughly $4
to $6 a week —a $1 billion-a-month blow
to an already weak economy.
Once Ford’s veto was upheld, each
side scrambled to lay the blame on the
other. But neither suggested a
workable compromise.
Congressional Democrats said Ford
was so afraid of Ronald Reagan that he
was gambling with the American
economy to gain right-wing votes. A
Ford lieutenant, budget director James
Lynn, said Congress should forget its
Christmas vacation and give the public
both a tax cut and a promise to stop
runaway government spending.
Ford vetoed the bill Wednesday
shot down in his Chicago
suburban home in June a week
before he was to testify before
the committee, and Roselli.
She described the relationship
as of a “personal nature” but
that it was “in no way related
to or affected by my relation
ship with Jack Kennedy, nor
did I discuss either of them
with the other,” she said.
Mrs. Exner evaded questions
world prematurely, most under
Brann’s care. Some weighed
less than two pounds at birth,
and many spent the first few
months of life in incubators.
The big man in the red suit
seemed to scare some of the
children at first, but as the toys
and balloons were taken from
the fat man’s sack, they
seemed to decide he was okay
after all.
The gifts were donated by
area charities and nationwide
drug companies.
Santa handed out gifts to all
the children, and soon the floor
was full of crawling kids,
playing with their new toys.
Some children munched on
cookies during the festivities,
while others seemed fascinated
by all the commotion.
One child contentedly pushed
a new truck across the floor —
stubbornly in the opposite
direction from a proud hospital
staffer with a camera.
Another child who weighed
just over two pounds when she
was born, seemed more con
cerned with a bright green
balloon than anything else. The
bouncy young girl, now a
healthy 18 pounds, clutched the
inflated toy with both hands
and seemed to know that it
exactly matched her new green
dress.
Most of the chilldren ignored
television cameras and mem
bers of the press. Even Gov.
Bill Waller went unnoticed by
the happy children, until he and
Santa teamed up to greet the
kids.
Little brown and blue eyes
followed the red costume
around the room, eagerly
anticipating an individual gift.
As the gifts were handed out
to the children, Waller sur
veyed the room full of excited
children who owe their lives to
new hospital technology.
“The miracles are all about
us,” he said.
because it did not contain a ceiling on
fiscal 1977 spending — something
Democrats refused to do until they see
Ford’s budget.
Democrats decided in a special
meeting of House and Senate leaders
Thursday they would take no further
action on tax cuts until after Ford
submitted his budget plans early next
year or until Ford was ready to back
away from his demand for the spending
ceiling.
The result is likely to be this:
American businesses will quickly
begin re-programming their check
writing computers with higher
withholding tables. Since this takes a
few weeks, the first increased
withholding taxes might not hit until
mid or late January.
The increased tax bite will vary but
should be less than $6 a week in most
cases.
On a yearly basis, that means an
about whether she was Ken
nedy’s mistress. She said the
facts had been documented and
stored so “the full story will be
told” at a later date.
“I can at this time emphati
cally state that my relationship
with Jack Kennedy was of a
close, personal nature and did
not involve conspiratorial
shenahigans of any kind,” she
said.
Mrs. Exner said she had no
knowledge of a CIA plot against
Castro and was not a conduit
between Kennedy and the two
Mafia figures who were hired
to kill the Cuban premier.
She saw Kennedy often
during the 54 weeks of their
relationship, she said, including
20 times at the White House
where she was free to call and
lunch with him. She said she
never met Mrs. Kennedy.
She also said Kennedy was
unaware of her gangland
connections until he was
apparently told by the FBI.

average family of four making SIO,OOO
would pay $216 more in taxes than if the
bill had passed. For the same family
making $6,000, the extra bite would be
$245, and for one making $15,000 and
above it would be SIBO.
In general, the tax increases would
hit hardest at lower middle income
families with children.
For upper middle income workers —
those making more than $14,100 — the
tax bite will be doubly bitter because
the government will resume taking the
5.85 per cent Social Security tax from
their checks.
The override vote was 265-157, 17
short of the required two-thirds
majority needed to override. Only 19
Republicans voted with the 246
Democrats in favor of the bill while 32
Democrats joined 125 Republicans in
opposing the override.
