Kennedy tax plan defends deduction cuts easing home owners burden
Treasury Secretary Dillon defended Kennedy’s plan to cut deductions while promising a net tax rate reduction over three years. He argued most taxpayers would gain overall, though a 5 percent floor on itemized deductions would limit mortgage interest, local taxes, and charitable writes. The plan faces public resistance as homebuilders fear less incentive to buy. Eric Rudolph Johnson, 62, a former restaurant resident of Davenport, died at Oakdale Sanatorium.

Reds Seek Ban on Nuclear Bases at Geneva Talks
At the 17 nation disarmament conference in Geneva the United States pressed a test ban treaty with Kennedy urging progress and on-site inspection while the Soviet side demanded removal of overseas bases for nuclear missiles. Kuznetsov called for dismantling foreign bases and bases hosting Polaris submarines and bombers to reduce war risk, signaling hard bargaining remains. Foster replaced Arthur Dean as U.S. negotiator and urged Moscow to abandon propaganda tactics and join in concrete talks toward a nuclear test ban and risk-reduction measures. Kennedy and Foster both acknowledged potential gains if both sides show willingness to negotiate and accept on-site inspection.
