Communists Gain in Brazil

—A Communist group took over
leadership of Rio's port union

weekend.

1 French Foreign Minister Mau
rice Couve de Murville viewed
!the Laos situation as grave and
l'his speech to the opening of the
;SEATO foreign ministers confer
ence stressed the need for nego
tiation.
SEATO was described as ready
to consider dispatching soldiers
and weapons to Laos if the So
viets fail to choose a peaceful
course in the neighboring king
dom before the conference ends
here Thursday.
Informed sources said U.S.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
came to the conference to sell
this policy. The speeches of his
fellow-foreign ministers on the
first conference day. indicated
he had just about succeeded.
Rusk told the council "peace is
possible only through restraining
those who break it in contempt
of law.
"Speaking for my country,"
he continued, "I wish to assure
the members of this organiza
lion and the peoples, of South
east Asia, that-the United States
will live up to those responsi
bilities."
Many in the audience felt that
an even tougher view of SEATO
objectives was outlined by Brit
! ish Foreign Secretary Lord Home
whose country has been taking
the lead in pressing Moscow for
a cease-fire and negotiations on
Laos.
The British foreign secretary
said SEATO so far had acted
with restraint.
"Hecause civilized countries
feel obliged to try to find a poli
tical and peaceful solution, I must
give a warning that the Com
munists would be extremely fool
ish to presume too much on this
restraint."

Recession at Bottom
Budget Head Says
WASHINGTON (?P)—The Kennedy administration be
lieves the recession has about reached bottom, Budget Direc
tor David E. Bell said yesterday.
Bell told the Senate-House Economic Committee that
the economy should start moving upward "in the April-June
quarter, and recovery should be
under way at a good rate by sum-I
mer.
However, Bell said the upturn
is not expected to be anywhere
near as rapid as the administra
tion would want.
For example, he said that while
it appears un
employment has
reached its peak
and will, soon
turn downward,
the jobless rate
still will exceed
six per cent at
the end of the
year. This is a
far from satis
fa c t ory figure,
he said
Bell, who de
fended President
Kennedy's sh a r ply increased
budget estimates, testified that
production and personal income
figures seem likely , to start ad
vancing soon.
Asked about chances of an in
come tax cut to stimulate the re
covery, Bell said if Kennedy finds
in mid-April that the economy is
not responding satisfactorily "I
assume he will consider - very se-

riously the idea of a temporary
tax reduction,"
In his prepared' statement, the
budget chief said hope for a tax
cut probably would have to de
pend on a reduction in military
1 1 spending.
"Meeting our national needs re
sponsibility in the years ahead,"
he said, "may well mean in
creased rather than reduced fed
eral spending, until and unless
we can arrive at a satisfactory
agreement for the reduction of
world armaments."
Bell asserted it would be a se
rious error of public policy as
well as false economy to reject
Kennedy's protodals for expand
ed efforts and outlays in science,
education, health and service.
"This nation can afford higher
expenditures, public or private,
up to the limit of its capacity to
produce a limit it has not ap
proached for several years," he
said.
