House measures would broaden the 2 percent sales tax to services and remove exemptions, while income tax changes, higher driver licenses, and withholding proposals aim to raise revenues.

Debate centers on bypassing Faubus’ program and possible compromises on exemptions, with estimates of 16 million from sales tax and 5 million from income tax revisions. Continued on Page Two.
Agree Middle East Needs More Aid
Senators Jack Bell Sparkman and Douglas today voiced support for Vice President Nixon’s claim that the Middle East requires economic aid as much as American military guarantees against Communist aggression. They believe a long-range economic program may better deter Communist influence than pending troops authorization. Nixon defended the administration’s unified military and economic approach to the Middle East against critics in Congress.

Faubus OKs State Income Tax Increase Proposal
Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus said he had no objection to a proposed 560 percent increase in the state income tax rate but would not sponsor the measure. He favors broadening the tax base and boosting severance and sales taxes to raise about 22 million dollars for education welfare and state services. He noted Rep. Paul Van Dalsem of Perry County will introduce the bill but said he has not changed his administration’s program. The governor said Van Dalsem assured him obstructionist tactics would not be used to defeat the program. Van Dalsem, chair of the Taxation and Revenue Committee, has previously blocked tax bills.

Hammarskjold urged continued UN police protection and warned that occupation or further action could trigger grave regional consequences. Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Saudi leaders met in Cairo to oppose any occupation of Egyptian territory, insisting it would escalate conflict.
