Acting alone, neither the U.S. nor Europ? could be certain of restraining Red expansion. For the West, the reality of danger could not be obscured by personal or na- tional differences. He told a press conference Thursday he has confidence in de Gaulle's pledge to respond to the needs of the alliance and "I hope that our confidence in him would be matched by his confid- ence in us." In quiet tones, Kennedy re- butted de Gaulle's argument for ropean Common Market. De Gaulle maintains Britain is not ready for admittance; that she is maritime, insular and has too many interests in other parts of the world. Kennedy countered that without Britain, there can be no unity in Europe. "We have strongly supported Britain's admission to the com- mon market because 'we think it ips build a united Europe," ye Said, Impoverished nations are in great need of help and the U.S. hasn't sufficient resources to re- spond alone. That was another reason why the U.S. supported Britain's entry into, the trade and the U.S. could meet the re- sources task on a basis of equity. One day Europe may be so secure that the U.S. could with- draw its 400,000 troops and go home.IThe U.S. had no desire to stay in Europe, except in de- blocking Britain from the Eu- fence of that continent. De Tax Cut Savings Slight For Some WASHINGTON (CP) -- Pres. | ident Kennedy's proposed tax) cuts, now before Congress, may shave about 1,500,000 low ~ in-| come earners from the federal) tax rolls, but for many of the) remaining 49,000,000 final sav. ings may be the equivalent of| no more than cigaret money. The reductions look good for the very rich and the very poor --but not for those in-between. | By the time Congress gets| through with its own hacking) and reshaping, there may not be much left at the two ends of the tax stick either, | Kennedy's tax cuts would go} into effect in three annual) stages, reducing the lowest rate of 14 from 20 per cent and the highest rate to 65 from 91 per) cent. A married man with two de- pendents earning $5,000 a year would save about $65 a year when the changes are-fully in ef.- fect. His payment would decline to $245 from $300. His saving in the first year of the graduated reduction, which Kennedy says should begin in 1963, would be a little more than $20--just about 40 cents a week. For a married man in the same category making $10,000 a year, now paying $1,196 in fed- eral taxes, the final, over-all saving would be about $180 a year--or about $63 in 1963. But for those making $100,000 annually--married with two de- pendents--the final. annual sav- ing would be about $5,000, with the payment reduced to- $32,400 from $37,500. Along with federal taxes, American breadwinners pay state income taxes as well. In an effort to convince Con- gress of the need for tax cuts, Kennedy painted a glowing picture of what his proposals would do. He said that would reduce pressure for a 35-hour work week, ease wage demands, lower price pressures, curb de- mands for higher import re. strictions. They even would bol- ster U.S. leadership over the free world, he-said. Congress is not yet convinced The economy is sluggih and the Kennedy administration is op- erating deep in the red. The national debt is soaring. And there seems to be no great con- viction in Congress that the economy will suddenly blossom with the Kennedy proposals. Gaulle has expressed the fear that one day Europe may fail under complete U.S. domina- tion, but Kennedy argued: "We do not desire to influence or dominate." De Gaulle said a week ago France could aot accept inte- gration in a NATO multilateral nuclear force because France feared the U.S, might not re- spond in the event Europe came under a nuclear threat. That, said Kennedy, is inaccurate. The U.S. has pledged to defend Europe and though some parts of Europe may sot believe that, "I believe Chairman Khrush- chev does and I think he is ight." bloc. Together, the new Europe] right Kennedy's pleading public re- sponse to de Gaulle's blunt re- jection of American proposals contrasted with the inner anger known to exist in the Kennedy administration against de Gaulle's policies. But some of this anger emerged in the Sen- ate Thursday when Senator J. W. Fulbright, chairman of the Senate foreign relations com- mittee and a close Kennedy freind, publicly accused de Gaulle of endangering Western security and prosperity with "romantic illusions of a Napo- leon," ASK CUBAN QUESTIONS While Kennedy concentrated on European problems, question- ers expressed greater curiosity with Kennedy's part in the 1961 Cuban invasion and reports of a new Soviet arms buildup on that Caribbean island. Kennedy denied the reporis. He said that since last October there has been only one Soviet ship that might have brought arms into Cuba. But there was still some 16,000 to 17,000 Soviet troops there, handling ground- to - air missiles, 'exercising' and building barracks. "There is no influx of milit- ary equipment, other than the ship and, as I say, our scrutiny of Cuba is daily." CHICAGO (AP) -- Winter's longest and worst siege of cold weather clung to much of the United States today, causing a sharp rise in the death toll and threatening damage to crops in the southland. The huge cold air mass cov- ered most of the country from to the Atlantic coast. It knifed deep into the south, where lowest tempera- tures of the' century were re- corded in some areas. There was promise of mod- erating temperatures in some sections of the hard-hit mid-con- tinent. But another stream of cold air headed from Canada into northern midwest regions. The coldest weather, with readings ranging from zero to 16 below, extended from north- ern Tennessee northeastward inio the northeast in the upper Mississippi Valley, northern sec- tions of the middle Mississippi Valley and in most of the North- ern Plains. Since the outbreak of the cur- rent cold weather earlier this week at least 112 deaths have been reported from exposure, asphyxiation, over - exertion in snow, fires and in traffic acci- dents on ice-covered highways. Europea May Be t LONDON (AP) -- Europe's killer winter--which already has claimed more than 200 lives -- showed signs today of slacken- ing its grip on parts of northern Europe. In Britain the death toll was estimated unofficially at more than 100. The southern fringes of the continent reeled under the lash of storms, blizzards and intense cold that left a fresh trail of floods, wreckage and death from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Bulgaria and parts of the Soviet Union were hit as the winter's fury concentrated on the south. In Denmark, Germany and Belgium it was getting a little warmer, Britain, almost totally snowbound for more than a month, expected a slight thaw within 24 hours. The normally sunny coasts of Spain and Portugal were struck by fierce storms. Nearly 300 persons waited through the night for rescue from two Span- ish ships in difficulties in storm- ravaged bays of southern Spain. In Italy, where 24 persons have been killed by the cold wave, snow fell for the fourth straight day in parts of the cen- tral Apennine Mountains. Some 300 communities are isloated there. In Yugoslavia the death toll stood at 29. Factories and ship- ran out. OTTAWA (CP)--A nine-day session by the nine-member Northwest Territories Council has ended with announcement of the intended birth of a new territory and practically free university education for every- one in the territories. Nunassiaq is the new name for the eastern section of the territories--to be divorced from the Mackenzie district in the west--probably by next year. This depends on the necessary legislation getting through the Commons. The N.W.T. Council made the christening Thursday after Es- CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 | HOSPITAL 723-2211 | jits kimos twice voted in favor 'of their word for The Beautiful Land. But the educational assistance program was clearly the big- gest item to come from the council which earlier expressed determination' to see that every ambitious student had a chance in university. Council agreed to make out- right grants, covering the cost of university tuition and trans- portation, to all students want- ing to enrol. In addition, loans will be made available to cover |the cost of board and lodging. ICAN WRITE OFF If the graduates return to the territories for three years: the loans can he written off. They can also earn a_ write-off through academic achievement. Next year with 21 students in |Canadian universities, the coun- cil will pay out an estimated $25,200 under the scheme. By 1972, when numbers swell to a predicted 157, it will cost. $188,- 400. « The plan went through with- out a dissenting note after del- egates urged a system that would give equal opportunity to whites, Eskimos and Indians. Council Thursday also turned its attention toward 'snipping ee New Territory Born In Mackenzie Area away at the hurdles that re- mained in the way of the for- mal division of the. territories. CARVE INTO FIVE The Mackenzie district carved into five electoral dis- tricts-- the Arctic, Mackenzie Delta, Mackenzie River, Yel- lowknife and Slave Lake -- in preparation for the day when jfive elected members will join four appointed colleagues in Fort Smith. Two districts were declared in Nunassiaq--tentatively called South Keewatin and South Baf- fin--and a generous strip of northern territory was left as a representative area for the one appointed member. A commissioner will be estab- lished in the Mackenzie district, while the affairs of the less- prosperous and less-populated Nunassiaq will be handled largely from Ottawa. cee ai yards were closed because fuel} Was | - around the new legislative table!

Smudge pots were started in the citrus groves of Florida after forecasters predicted pos- sible freezing weather. . How- ever, it appeared that the icy air would not extend into the rich everglades farming area in the southern part of the state. A wind-lashed storm off Lake Ontario hammered parts of northem New York today, clos- ing roads and schools and isolat- ing hundreds of snow-shocked residents. The storm, fueled by 30-mile- an-hour winds, spread a six- inch carpet of new snow over Jefferson County, still reeling from Thursday's two-foot now fall, Drifting snow, six to eight feet high, closed all roads in the county. Schools in the county were closed. As the state counted 11 dead from the storm, the weather bu- reau forecast continued cold to- morrow and more snow squalls off Lakes Erie and Ontario. The gales off the lakes, which reached more than 50 miles an hour, subsided somewhat today. n Cold Easing Radio reports out of Commu- nist Bulgaria indicated a major crisis as the country Jay buried under 30 inches of snow. Bliz- zards severed rail and road Inks, and fuel and food sup- plies were running perilously low.

Blowing snow made driving hazardous in Oswego and St. Lawrence Counties but roads re- ma'ned open. Two major highways, a bridge and all schools were closed Thursday in Buffalo by blowing snow, poor visibility and the numbing cold, which hit 11 be- low zero. North of Buffalo, bus service was suspended between Niagara Falls and Lockport. Asia Slashed By Record Cold Spell TOKYO (AP) -- Some of the roughest winter weather in memory has slashed across northeast Asia in recent weeks, killing at least 166 persons, le- velling houses and paralyzing transportation. : Storms killed at least 149 per- sons in South Korea, including 137 drowned Jan. 18 when gales capsized a ferry in the Korea Straits. Heavy snow and avalanches killed at least 17 in Japan and 14 others are missing. For the first time since it was opened more than 50 years ago, the port of Inchon 15 miles west of Seoul was frozen solid. Twenty inches of ice knocked out ferry service to 14 Korean islands and coastal ports. In Japan, a record snowfall has crushed houses and forced cancellation of 2,000 train runs. Railway officials deployed 150 snow plow trains and 16,000 workers and soldiers to clear rail tracks along the west coast.

WASHINGTON (AP)--Cuba's military might--and whether it is on the rise--is the subject of a Senate investigation begin- ning today with state secretary Rusk as the first witness. | Rusk is expected to back Pres- jident Kennedy's contention that |there has been no new military buildup on the Caribbean island. But despite this assertion by the president at his press con- ference, several Republican sen- jators remain sceptical. And de- spite his renewed assumption of {responsibility for failure of the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, there is no slowing of a Republican drive for an independent inves- tigation of the fiasco. Kennedy said '"'the best infor- mation we have" from con- tinued U.S. air surveillance and other intelligence is that one ship arrived in Cuba since the October crisis 'which may have arms on it, possibly military | Cargo." | "But there has not been a military buildup in that sense of the equipment coming in from outside of Cuba," he said.

The Shirley Lykes docked at Port Everglades, the port of Fort Lauderdale, bringing a hu- man cargo back in. the space which had been used to deliver ransom supplies to Fidel Castro in exchange for the Bay of Pigs captives. Most of the Cubans, including 13 stretcher cases and seven pa- ralytics, were relatives of the 1,113 invasion prisoners ~who were released last month.

Early morning temperatures today were not as low as Thurs- day, with readings ranging from about zero in southern Ontario to 34 below at White River, in Northern Ontario. Temperatures should continue to moderate slightly today and Saturday, but no major break in the cold is indicated. Winds were expected to diminish in southern Ontario. Snow continued to disrupt traffic, particularly in south- western Ontario. Many rural schools in Essex, Kent and Lambton counties were closed as the Banana Belt shivered 'in record-breaking 14 below weather. In Bruce and Huron counties, where conditions are described as the worst of the winter, some 35 schools were closed. Roads on the Bruce Peninsula were al- most impassable and even snowplows could not operate as drifting snow reduced visibility to zero. BUSES RENEW RUNS In Owen Sound, where four feet of snow has fallen im the last week, buses were called back into operation after being taken off the streets Thursday. Two secondary schools in the city were closed today many rural schools remained' closed as students took their, fourth "enforced holiday this week, At St. Mary's, near Stratford, 300 rural schoolchildren could not get home Thursday night and had to sleep in town. Hospitals in the Niagara Pen- insula reported many cases of frostbite as the area was blasted by winds gusting up to 60 miles an hour. Some residents of Chippewa, near Niagara Falls, melted snow today to get water after a water main burst, apparently because of the bitter cold. Meanwhile, gale-force winds battered Newfoundland Thurs- day and a blizzard swept across New Brunswick.
