A dozen students had filed for
positions as class officers for next
year, the first half day of filing.
The election is scheduled for Apr.
11 with a runoff set for Apr. 17.
Filings began Tuesday morning in
the Student Program Office of the
Memorial Student Center and will

applicant must have a 1.0 over
all grade point ratio, a 1.0 g.p.r.
for the preceeding semester or
preceeding two summer terms and
must hold a 1.0 g.p.r. during his
term of office.

SENATE GETS BILL
Democrats Win
House Tax Fight
CORRECTION
WASHINGTON UP) — A few
hours after President Kennedy
made a public appeal for passage
of his pending tax measure, the
House approved it Thursday over
determined Republican opposition.
A GOP effort to return the bill
to committee with instructions to
cut two major administration pro-
isions was beaten 225 to 190. Fi
nal passage followed a little later
on a 219-196 vote.
• The measure goes now to the
Senate where it is given a good
chance to pass without major
changes-but only after prolonged
committee hearings and floor de
bate.
On the crucial recommital test,
the Republicans held their ranks
solidly but were able to rally only
27 Democratic votes. On final pas
sage, 34 Democrats voted against
the administration while a lone
Republican-Rep. Richard H. Poff
of Vh'ginia-sided with the ma
jority.
Republicans centered their five
on two main provisions. One
would require withholding income
taxes of 20 per cent on dividends
and interest payments - which
would give the government an es
timated $630 million in annual
Gov. Price Daniel
Will Crown 28th
King Cotton Here
The Battalion incorrectly report
ed Thursday that tactical officers
will be employed by local motels
during weekends. The story should
have stated that the motels will
employ extra help, and have in
formally expressed the hope that
tactical officers will volunteer
their services.
Gov. Price Daniel will crown Wil
liam A. Stuhrenberg as King Cot
ton at the 28th annual Cotton Page
ant which will be held April 7
in Guion Hall. The pageant will
begin at 7:30 p.m.
Included in the pageant will be
the selection of a Cotton Queen
from the 160 duchesses that will
attend. Eight girls will also be
selected to escort the Cotton Queen
during the parade on stage.
Robert L. Boone, music director,
will sing a solo during the page
ant.
Saturday afternoon preceding the
pageant there will be a tea in the
dining room of the MSC for the
duchesses and the three judges
who will select the winner.
revenue. The other would allow
7-per-cent tax credits for business
expenditures on modernization of
production facilities-estimated to
cut revenues by $1.2 billion a year.
Kennedy made a strong pitch
for the bill at his morning news
conference even though it repre
sents considerably less than he
originally asked.
As submitted by the adminis
tration, the measure would have
balanced loss of revenue through
the business tax credit program
by tightening of collections in sev
eral areas in addition to the in
terest and dividend withholding.
These would have included vir
tual elimination of income tax de
ductions for business entertaining
plus much heavier imposts on in
come earned overseas by Ameri
can companies and individuals.
As a result of changes made in
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, the anticipated additional
revenues are expected to fall
some $600 million short of the
losses due to the incentive tax
credits. This is about the surplus
which the administration has
hopefully projected for its budget
for fiscal 1963.'
Hearings on the measure are
to begin Monday before the Sen
ate Finance Committee headed by
Sen. Harry y. Byrd, D-Va., and
are expected to last at least four
weeks.

Wire Wrap-Up
By The Associated Press
World News
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—With the military’s bless
ing, Jose Maria Guido took office as Argentina’s president
Thursday, replacing his banished friend Arturo Frondizi.
Guido, who has been president of the senate, was in line
for the job under the constitution but was reluctant to take
over. The military leaders who ousted Frondizi finally
persuaded Guido to take the presidency.
Frondizi, who embraced his tearful wife and peacefully
surrendered to arrest, was flown to imprisonment on a navy
island in the River Plate not far from Buenos Aires as the
military leaders finally carried out their long-threatened coup.
GENEVA — The 17-nation disarmament conference
agreed Thursday on a procedure for drafting a preamble for
a disarmament treaty but the Western powers expressed
some concern about the attitude taken by the Communists.
In British eyes, at least, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian A. Zorin seemed determined to plug the Russian
disarmament line from first to last, with little consideration
for the views of the non-Communist nations. The Americans
took a more hopeful view following a three-hour session.
U. S. News
WASHINGTON—The Public Health Service gave top
priority Thursday for use of oral polio vaccine in areas
threatened by epidemics.
Surgeon General Luther L. Terry said the Sabin oral
vaccine is especially valuable in combatting an epidemic be
cause it can be taken by mouth and quickly gives some pro
tection against spread of the disease.
He said widespread use of both polio vaccines “could lead
to early elimination of the disease.”
Texas News
DALLAS—The Texas attorney general ordered Thurs
day an investigation into the business dealings of Billie Sol
Estes, West Texas financial giant of Pecos Tex.
Estes, regarded as a multimillionaire at 37, was one of
the few outsiders who conferred this week in Dallas with a
group of national and local leading company representatives
about agricultural financing in the Southwest.
Atty. Gen. Will Wilson announced three assistants will
leave Austin immediately armed with letters of visitation
giving them the right to inspect books and records.
