Be Reduced Without
Danger
(Contlnued Ton first 80


In five year period. it is calcu-
lated about 50 billion Of added
revenues, at present tax rates,
would result from national growth.
This would more than Offset the
amount reductions would cost, an
estimated SS.4 billion.
MANS five year plan would make
annual reductions of 16 per cent
in the surtax part of each individ-
ual income tax bracket, computed
on the original surtax figure. The
present top rate Of 81 per cent, 20
percent Of base rate and = per
cent surtax, would be brought
down to a combined base and sur
tax rate Of about 35 per cent.
Surtax rates on other income
brackets would be reduced in pro-
portion.
The present law provides for a
five percentage point reduction in
corporate tax rates, bringing the
maximum down to AZ per cent.
Thereafter, according to the
NAM plan, a reduction of three
percentage points in each of four
succeeding years would bring the
rate down to 35 per cent.
