No prizes were given for the best boats. Only a few were decorated.

President Kennedy went through another triumphal day of his state visit to Mexico today, then with President Adolfo Lopez Mateos issued a sharp warning against Communist meddling in the Western Hemisphere. Mexican crowds, still in the fiesta mood of the Kennedy arrival Friday, turned out for another look at the U.S.

President and the First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy scored a hit at a luncheon for President and Mrs. Lopez Mateos by making a short speech in Spanish in which she echoed her husband's praise of the Mexican government's ef forts to improve the lot of its people. President Kennedy seemed in good spirits throughout the day as he shook hands with Mexicans at a housing development, gave a pep talk to the U.S.

embassy staff just before a heavy rain poured down and traded jokes with President Lopez Mateos at lunch about Mexico's ban on reelection of its presidents. "I had not realized how radical the Mexican revolution was until I learned that its slogan was: Effective suffrage and no- reelec- tions," Kennedy said. "We have a good deal in common but, I'm glad to say, not everything." Visit to End Sunday The President winds up his visit Sunday after attending mass at the famed Roman Catholic Basilica of Guadelupe. After a 'luncheon, Kennedy and Lopez Mateos issued a joint com munique summing up their private talks. While both expressed opposition to communism in the Western Hemisphere they did so without deviating from their own individual policies toward Fidel Castro's Cuba.

Mexico has been carrying on a so-called soft line toward the Castro regime. The joint communique, a climax of the visit, stated that the United States and Mexico are deter mined to "oppose totalitarian institutions and activities which are incompatible with the democratic principles they uphold." This was taken as a clear warn ing to Castroists and Soviet Com munism to beware of meddling in the Hemisphere. But Kennedy apparently made no effort to change the policy of the Lopez Mateos government toward the Castro re gime. Cubans Told Mexican People Turn Out to Repudiate Kennedy Havana, June 30 (AP) Cubans were told today that the Mexican people turned out in droves to repudiate President Kennedy. A dispatch from the Fidel Castro regime news agency, Prensa Latina, on the Kennedy's state visit to Mexico told of balloons being released at the airport when the President arrived Friday.

It said the balloons carried signs saying, "Kennedy Go Home." "Almost all the American flags decorating the route the Presi dents (Kennedy and Lopez Ma teos) were to take this morning appeared destroyed," the dispatch from Mexico City said. The dispatch, appearing in Ha vana newspapers, said FBI offi cials huddled with Mexican secur ity agents "in an attempt to di minish the repudiations to the North American President" U.S. Recalling 7,500 Troops Washington, June 30 (AP) The Defense Department said today it will bring home from EuroDe about 7.500 army men who were sent abroad at the height of the Berlin crisis. The homeward movement is likely to start next month and 'con tinue through the summer. It ill be the first reduction in U.S.

strength in Europe since 40,000 men were ordered abroad last fall as Russia threatened to force a decision on control of Berlin. He Feels Time Not Yet Right, Aides Report By Jack Bell Of the Associated Press Washington, June 30 The Kennedy administration is thinking in terms of a tax cut if it becomes convinced such action is needed to keep the economy from sliding downward. Sources close to him said President Kennedy's present feeling is that the time for a tax reduction has not yet arrived. But they stressed that if the President feels real deterioration threatens the economy he will not hesitate to propose quick action. This probably would come in the form of a simplified reduction in maximum rates for corporations and an increase in personal exemptions for individuals.

At this time, the Kennedy ad visers are talking about the pos sibility of lowering the present top of 52 per cent on corporations to 50 per cent. This would involve a reduction for business. Under this plan the present $600 exemption for individuals would be raised to $800. This would take millions of low-bracket income taxpayers off the rolls and would involve a revenue loss of about $900 million. A tax reduction of this kind would fall within the $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion proposed by the U.S.

Chamber of Commerce Friday. But the chamber proposed a much more complicated formula of rate cuts for individuals and a 47-per-cent top on corporations. The feeling within the adminis tration is that remissions of this nature should await general tax revisions by the next Congress In previously barring any emer gency reductions, Kennedy an nounced he will recommend next year across-tne-board revisions for individuals and corporations to be effective retroactively to Jan. 1. Findlay Okays Gas System Findlay, June 30 (Special) Findlay residents today over whelmingly authorized the village to operate and maintain a muni cipal gas utility system and approved the issuance of $230,000 in bonds to cover the costs of setting up and maintaining the system.

Voters approved the propose! authorizing the village to operate and maintain the utility by a vote of 318 to 33. The $230,000 bond issue to finance the system was approved 319 to 32. There were 15 spoiled ballots on both issues. Village president Noble Ray, said the Federal Power Commission (FPC) had earlier given its verbal approval to the system designed by Warren Van Praag, Decatur consulting engineer ing firm.

A main feeder line will be connected to the pipeline. The village will purchase gas from the company, establish rates and resell the fuel to the town's residents.

Nixon, who met under a green and white striped tent on his farm in the first All-Repub lican Conference. He issued a strong appeal for businessmen to enter more fully into politics preferably Republican politics. "Businessmen now have to do a little waking up," he said. They could no longer be sure, he ad ded, that there were "well-designed and well observed limits beyond which government would not go." Politvs should be the "first busuMss" of a businessman, he said, and added that if he did not realize it, "he is not going to have a prosperous business, not in the long run." lusenhower declared: If we don't exercise the function of self- government, by golly, we'll be governed by someone else and that I don't like." The conference was a new de parture in Republican affairs, but the theme music had a familiar ring. Eisenhower appealed for Re publican unity and said he had gotten so I despise the term lib eral and I have almost gotten so I hate the term conservative.

Relief Checks To Be Delayed Chicago, June 30 (AP) Illinois State Auditor Michael J. Howlett said today that checks totaling $2,300,000 ready for mail ing to 60,000 relief recipients un der the Aid to Dependent Children of the Unemployed will not go into the mails Monday as planned because Congress has not appropriated its $1,100,000 share of the disbursement.

Howlett said the checks were ready for mailing when the Senate acts upon a House resolution renewing the one-year ADCU pro gram. With Congress recess for the weekend, there was no possibility that families expecting the checks by Tuesday will get them. Senate leaders in Washington said Friday they believed the wel fare program canbe renewed in a few days without causing any serious hardship. The checks held up are not, Howlett said, the regular Aid to Dependent Children allotments under the long-standing program for youngsters and dependent elders with no regular breadwinner in the family. The Illinois Public Aid Commis sion said when it became appar ent that the Congressional action would come too late to meet this month's obligation, that the IP AC cannot undertake! the full payments because of the state's fi nancial HILLSB0R0 GETS U.S.

"After some debate," he said, "It was decided that I would not make the speech."

Cerutto, owner of a billiards parlor, had an Irish Sweepstakes ticket on Tambourine II, winner of the Irish Sweeps Derby today at Curragh. "This is the first time I've ever won anything in my life.

I couldn't believe it at first," the happy Cer utto shouted. "I haven't even had a whole lot of time to think about it," he said. One thing Cerutto does plan to do is to purchase a house. "There's just me and my wife. I plan to buy my own home." Cerutto is also thinking about selling his business.

"I've been at mis for 11 years now. It takes up a lot ot time. I have to work long hours six days a week," he said. Cerutto received word of his good fortune about 10:15 a.m. to day while at work.

"One of the kids came in and told me he heard it on the radio. I wouldn't believe him," he laughed. Didn't Blieve It Cerutto, in fact, didn't believe it until he saw a wire service story at a Taylorville radio station. "That was about when I fig ured the whole thing must be true." So far, he said, no big celebra tions or parties have been planned. "I don't have the money yet.

In fact I'm not even sure how you get it," he said. Cerutto said he's been "sweat ing it out" since Tuesday when he learned he had Tambourine in the race. Cerutto said he's been buying tickets for the Sweepstakes for about 25 years. "It must be about a million to one shot to win," he remarked. Cerutto said his friends have been pouring into his billards par lor, located on E.

Merchant since the news came out. "I've received a lot of phone calls. My son-in-law in California called in to congratulate me," he said..
