reduction OF between SO and 81
billion might be possible.
THE important thing" Prof
McCracken said, is to main
tain a high rate of private in

and because the rising amount
of capital invested per worker
is a primary source of high ano
rising productivity and standards

Private Investment Eyed
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Mills, Democrat
Iof Arkansas, devoted the morn
ing session to a discussion OF
the impact of Federal taxation
on private investment. Later to-
day. it planned to hear several
economists and attorneys dis
cuss the effect of present taxes
on the labor supply. professional
skills and employer incentive
and employe initiative.
AS it started the third day
of two weeks of open hearings,
the subcommittee already had
received conflicting suggestions
on the feasibility of substantial
tax cut next year.
In contrast to six economists
who said Monday they saw no
great economic justification for
tax reduction in 1856. a Dart
mouth College business admin
istration professor, Theodore A.
Andersen. declared yesterday a
$3-billion cut might be necessary
next July to stimulate consumer
spending.
Some AyOwed Alarm
Prof. Andersen and two other
witnesses. Dean G. L. Bach of
the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology School of Industrial Ad-
ministration and Prof. Richard
Musgrave of the University of
Michigan economics depart
ment. also caused some avowed
alarm" on another score among
Republican members of the sub
committee.
They agreed in general that
reduction of the $280-bil-
lion national debt was not a
prime essential at this time. Prof
Andersen said real debt reduc-
ton might not be possible for
another 10 years.

5-Year Security

The Defense Department has
rejected a Hoover Commission
recommendation that all person.

every five years.
The department held that in
Ivestigations would serve only to
alert suspects. However, it pro-
missed that the whole subject
would be reviewed.

Comments on a top secret re-
port by a special committee
headed by retired Gen. Mark
Clark dealing with the Central
Intelligence Agency and related
military intelligence activities
went directly to President Eisen-
hover.
Latitude for Service
Here's what the department
had to say about making periodic
checks on the security status of
intelligence personnel:
1T is considered that current
security practices and procedures
for acting on adverse information
essentially fulfill the detectives
Of the recommendation. Within
the detectives. however, it is de-
sirable to leave the individual

cases that an investigation would !

average family now in the $4,000
income group would have at least

years.
He explained that this would
depend on a continuation Of
what he called the tremendous
rise in per capita incomes and
the growth of the national econ

Tax Relief Urged
Mr.. Burgess and Prof. Paul w.
. McCracken of the University of

school, urged not only an easing
of corporation and dividend taxes
but also a cut in personal income
levies and some excuses.
Prof. McCracken suggested
that Congress even up and reg
ularize" excise taxes mainly to
remove inequities. He recon-
mended that the corporation In
come tax be trimmed per cent
from its present SO per cent rate
and that personal income taxes
be reduced principally in the
upper and middle ranges. There
should be no change in the capt.
tai gains tax. he said.
Mr.. Burgess, noting that bust
ness expansion is essential to
further growth, declared that "it
is unthinkable to continue a sys-
tenn of discriminatory tax rates
which penalize and discourage
business investment"
Double Taxation Hit
He proposed that Congress
take corrective steps such as "re-
duction of the high individual
income tax rates and a lessening
Of the degree Of progression in
the rates. together with further
relief Of the double taxation Of
corporate earnings and liberal
ization Of the treatment of cap
ital gains and losses"
Both economists said they be-
lieved that tax reduction would
be feasible in 1856. Mr.. Burgess
offered no estimate of a possible
cut but Prof. McCracken said a

mise agreement reached by House Senate conference commit tees was to be presented to both chambers Friday Acceptance seems assured since to reject the agreement would mean death to the convention bill.
 The House passed on a 19 to 3 vote a long bill to create a public service commission in Alaska for the first time to regulate rates charged by all public utilities, both privately and publicly own ed. The bill was rushed through only two days after its introduc- ton as several Democrats describ- ed it as legislation in effect in all the states and long needed in Alaska.
 The House also passed bill to create a territorial real estate board with authority to regulate the real estate business, give ex- aminations and issue licenses to brokers and salesmen.
 Another bill passed by the House would authorize the board of trustees of the Pioneer Home to require the elderly residents to give the territory any income they have over $15 a month. It also provides that S5 a month could be provided for oldtimers in the home who do not have any income at all.
 The S15 restriction was pro- posed because many of the resi- dents now draw Social Security checks and legislators and Terri torial Treasurer Henry Roden, a member of the home trustees, said the buying of liquor had become a troublesome administrative and hospital problem.
 A bill was approved to pro- vide for the territorial police to handle issuance and renewals of drivers licenses, with renewals every two years on the holders birthday, instead of having a re- newal lineup at the end of the year

Robert j. Martin of Baltimore
was reinstated as a Jockey by
the Maryland Racing Commits
sion today after serving four
years on a 10-year suspension.
Martin was suspended May IL,
1851. for betting on a horse
other than the one he was
riding in a race at Laurel. He
was leading rider in Maryland
at the time. He is 81 years old.
The racing commission set
special conditions for Martins
restoration to riding status. He

him approved by the commits
sion and must stay in Mary
land during the spring racing
season, reporting to the COM

fore his long term on the ground.
The 10-year ban resulted from
testimony by agents of the
