In the Senate, both Chair

Charles P. Taft. president of

said the old price scheduled prob
ably would be retained.
I'VE likely will maintain the
same price," he said. "All the
ball clubs I know about are doing
the same. We already have sold
quite number OF tickets and it
would be almost a. physical i'm
possibility to make an adjust
ment, this season, anyway.
Our prices in Washington are
lower than most places. We
never have gotten what we
should for our seats. If there is
to be any change, it would have
to be made by the executives (of
the club, all now in Florida"
The baseball club prices are
$3.50 for box seats. So in the re-
served grandstand, $3.50 gen.

Dick McCann, general man.
ager of the Redskins football
team, said the season ticket
prices for six games would re-
main the same, at 5000 and
$500. Single game tickets will
be cut from $3.50 to $3.50 and
from So go to $3.50.
Athletic officials at George
Washington University have
reached no decision on what to
do. Max harrington, athletic
director said he will recommend
that the Athletic Committee re-
duce $3.50 football tickets to
$325 but keep the same $3.50
rate for cheaper tickets.
Mr.. harrington, former chair
man of a National Collegiate
Athletic Association committee
studying the tax situation, re-
ported 80 per cent of colleges
lose on athletic programs. He
said that while some large schools
may cut football ticket prices, a
majority of schools probably will
not.
The University of Maryland,
which already has printed 1854
football tickets with tax included,
also is undecided on policy. Will
liam Cobey, athletic business
manager there. said the schools
need the extra revenue that
would be realized by charging
at the old rate.

Hefty Savings Seen
On Luxury 1axCuts,
But Not Appliances

Consumers here can expect
| substantial savings on luxury
items as the result of tax re-
ductions effective tomorrow but
savings on home appliances and
entertainment probably will be
/ small.
This is the consensus of busi-
nessmen in terviewed today
about the effect of the cuts in
luxury and excise taxes.
While business is expected to
improve appreciably in some
lines, the merchants were cau-
tious about predicting a gen.
eral squirt.
Points to Distinction.
An official of one department
store pointed out that a clear
distinction should be made be-
tween luxury and excise taxes.
The former applies to furs,
silver. jewelry. luggage and cos
meticS. All of these have been
subject to the big 20 per cent
luxury tax. With a reduction to
10 per cent effective tomorrow
the lower cost will be noticeable
On the other hand, relatively
small, hidden excise taxes are in
cluded in the price of such items
as electric fans, toasters, irons
refrigeratorS, ranges and power
lawn mowers. The new law cuts
home appliance excise taxes
from 10 to 5 per cent.
But this is manufacturers
tax and many manufacturers fix
fair trade prices. For stores
| abiding by the fair trade agree
ment, the manufacturer will be
the guide. In some instances
these excise taxes apply to only
a part of the manufactured ar
ticle. so that the tax cut. even
if passed on, will be very small
amount.
| Herbert Rich, president of the
| Merchants and Manufacturers
Association. said many pur-
chases have been delayed in an
ticipation Of the tax cuts and he
predicted that business would
start booming Immediately in
I the luxury lines. He said he be-
lieved merchants would pass on
/ tax cuts wherever they occur.
| No Full Cut at Theaters.
In the amusement field. the
full cut was not expected to
! reach the customer.
/ Jack Foxe. spokesman for the
/ LoeW'S TheaterS, said most OF
the cut" will be passed along

announced. however. that the

the customer.
/ Edward Plohn. manager Of the
National Theater, said he was
awaiting word from the League
of Theaters in New York before
announcing policy. He said a
difficult problem is presented by
the fact that many tickets for
future shows were sold months
ago.

Business Sees Excise Tax Cut
As Just What Doctor Ordered

change to a lower tax-rate struc-
ture will pose certain complica-
tions.
The man who signed an in
stallment contract for a $3.50
automatic washing machine a
month ago will be billed at the
full rate for.the first month, but
will get the benefit of the tax
cut for the payments he makes
after April /. Similar adjust
ments will be made for GUS
toners who have been paying
for fur coats or refrigerators in
advance under the so-called
"lay-away plan."
The merchant is compelled to
pass the tax saving on to the
installment purchaser, retail
sources point out. because failure
to do so would be tantamount
to increasing the price above
that stipulated in the install
ment contract.

NEW YORK, Mar. 81. - "No
doubt about it; these tax cuts
will pep up retail sales"
"Just what the doctor ordered"
That's how manufacturers and
merchants reacted today to the
news that Congress had passed
the bill Slashing Federal excise
taxes on a wide range of mer-
chandise ranging from jewelry,
cameras and furs to refrigerators
and kitchen garbage disposerS.
General Electric Co.. one of the
worlds biggest manufacturers of
the home appliances on which
taxes now are to be cut from 10
to S per cent, said it was passing
the reduction on to consumers
land we're very happy to do so.
Opinion in New York retail
circles was divided on just how
big an effect the tax reductions
would have on business, but it
was generally agreed that the
cuts would help.
A New York appliance whole
saler said the impact is likely to
be more psychological than
actual"
Fifteen bucks off the price
Of a $500 refrigerator isn't a heck
of a lot" he said. But smart mer-
chandisers will make 1t look like
a terrific reduction, and the
ballyhoo will bring customers
into the store. That alone will
be good for business"

Eisenhower 10 Guard
Against Hardships if
Tariffs Are Reduced
~ washington, -. y.
WEDNESDAY. MARCH 81, 1884

President Eisenhower promised
today that the administration
will try to protect American buSi-
ness from any unjuStif1ed hard
ship that might develop from the
Governments program to pro-
mote international trade.
Gen. Eisenhower. in 5000
word message to Congress yes
terday, asked for a three-year
extension of the Reciprocal
Trade Act. with added power for
the President to make tariff cuts
in return for similar reductions
in tariffs of other nations.
Some Republican Congress-
men, traditionally committed to
high tariffs. gave the message
Q chill reception.
Sees Some Hardships.
Gen. Eisenhower, as if aware
of this reaction, told a news con-
ference today that as the United
States shifts from a policy based
on aid to a policy based on ex-
panding trade, certain difficult
ties, certain hardships can
occur.
The Government, he said. is
alert against any damage that
is not justified when the inter-
eStS of the whole Nation are con-
sidered.
The Government. he added.
will take steps to prevent such
unjustified hardships from be-
coming widespread or severe. He
added that for the free world,
free trade is the best peace in
surance.
SIaSheS Continued.
Gen. Eisenhower's trade mes
sage sent to Congress yesterday
called for a continuation of
tariff cutting procedures started
under the late President RooSe-
welt.
The Presidents recommenda-
tionS were based on a report
filed recently by a 17-member
commission headed by Clarence
Randall of Chicago, president of
the Inland Steel Co. Three
powerful congressional Republi-
can members of the commission
have already gone on record
against the report. They are
Chairman Reed of the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Representative Simpson of Penn
sylvania, another committee
member, and Chairman Millikin
of the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
Another Ways and Means
member. Representative Kean,
Republican, of New Jersey. said
he favors the Presidents objec-
tives but doubts Congress will go
along.
Wait for Reaction.
"An extension of the present
law" he said. lis about the best
we can expect" y
Another Republican member
Of the committee who preferred
to remain anonymous predicted
the committee will drag its feet
for a while until it sees how
sentiment is shaping up.

this point of view. House Speaker

Reaction from businesses
and industries which have
been subject to the taxes was
generally that consumers
would get the full benefit Of
the reductions and business
would increase.
Makers of major household
appliances. radios and T'V sets
announced plans, to pass the
cuts on directly. Theater
managementS took similar
steps but were faced with a
major headache in thes case
of thousands of tickets sold
far in advance for hit produc-
tionS. What to do about re-
funds is generally undecided.

Three new public hunting areas
will be made available to hunters
this fall. One area Isl in Wyandot

years. This new area will be avail
Another area, the Cooper Hollow
Public Hunting Area, will provide
over 1000 acres of land for hunters
this fall. 1t is located IL miles
southeast of Jackson, Ohio, just off
Route 35 in jackson County. Ohio
squirrel hunters should find this
area to their liking.
The third new area is in Brown
County, one mile southeast of Fay
etteville. 1t is called the Indian
Greek Public Hunting Area, and at
present is 468 acres in size. Future
plans call for all three of these new
areas to be expanded in size. In an
attempt to measure the pheasant bag
on the Indian Greek area, hunters
are requested to register in and out
of the checking station on the area.
Two established public hunting
areas were expanded substantially
this year, and the new additions will
be open to hunters this fall. Killdeer
Plains was expanded from 1000
acres to over 1900 acres, and is
located in Wyandot County 2 miles
southwest of Harpster. The Wolf
Greek Public Hunting Area, which is
8 miles southwest of McConnelsville
on Route rs in Morgan County, was
expanded from sos acres to 1,035
acres. Pheasant hunters are request
ed to register on the Killdeer area.
These new areas and new additions
are part Of a long-range program
by the Division of Wildlife to provide
as much weIl-distributed hunting
opportunity for Ohio hunters as is
possible. Magee Marsh and East
Harbor Areas are in the duck hunt
ing territory of Lake Erie. The Del
aware and Killdeer Plains Areas
produce a lot of pheasants. Good
grouse and squirrel hunting may be
had at the Woodbury. and Trumbull
areas. The Division, through pur-
chasing and signing agreements with
other agencies, has made at present
Sd public hunting areas, which total
393,863 acres, available to Buckeye
