Tax Exemptions

Now that the new District
tax bill is being considered by
Congress, members of the
Washington Chapter of the
National Association of Re-
tired Civil Employees, COM
prising more than $500 of the
10000. members of the ma
tional organization. are great
ly disturbed by press accounts
with respect to that feature of
the bill which proposes to re-
duce the income tax exemp-
ton from $4,000 to $1,000 per
person.
It is our understanding that
the bill does not contain any
feature like an additional $500
exemption for persons IS or
over. such as is provided in the
Federal income tax law and in
those laws of most of the
States which have such a levy.
Neither does 1t make any pro-
vision for any retirement in
come exemption such as was
granted in the Federal law
(Section 81, Of the Internal
Revenue Code Of 1850 allow
ing retirees aged go or over an
earned income credit not to ex-
coed $1,000.
We wish to point out that
unless the bill proposed by the
District Commissioners is
amended to grant these addi-
tional exemptions. it will i'm
pose a tax upon many persons
who are not now required to
pay a local income tax. Among
those so affected will be the
retired persons IS and over.
most Of whom are already adj
versely affected by the de-
crease in purchasing power Of
their annuities by the increase
in cost of living. While infia-
ton may have been tempo
rarily halted. signs Of further
increases in the cost of living
are present. and every time
living costs rise they constitute
a cut in pensions and an
nuities and make more difficult
the plight Of persons en-
deavoring to live out the few
remaining years of their lives
on a fixed income.
We might also point out
that in addition to the re-
tirees Of the Federal and Dis
trict governments in Wash
ington, there are also retired
police, firemen, school teach
ers and individuals under
other retirement systems, pub
lie and private.
We earnestly pray that If
Congress chooses to amend
the District income tax law
as suggested by the Commits
sioners. persons IS and over
will be allowed two exemptions
similar to the practice of most
of the States and the Federal
Government, and that a re-
tirement come exemption
and credit similar to that al
lowed in section 81 of the In
ternal Revenue Code of 1854
be allowed retired persons age
so and over under somewhat
similar circumstances.

With the state Of the Union
entirely dependent upon a pre-
carious balance of power in the
world. and maintenance Of SUI
periority in the accelerating
arms race, 1t is surprising that
the President saw At to confine
his remarks concerning a REM
edy for these conditions to:
I'VE shall persevere in seek
ing a general reduction Of arm
amentS under effective inspec-
ton and control which are
essential safeguards to ensure
reciprocity and protect the Sc
curity of ALL"
The health of our entire
economy revolves around our
defense" program and efforts
to maintain the national Sc
curity." And yet it has been
widely recognized that there is
no defense against atomic and
hydrogen weapons retaliation
is hardly defenSe). How, then.
can our Nation be secure with
an economy based upon de-
tense when there is no defense?
Perhaps unwittingly. the
President included in his adj
dress an indication Of the only
truly effective defense" we or
any other nation can contrive:
Our weapons are the princi-
piles and ideas embodied in our
historic traditions. APPALLED, with
the same vigor that In the past
made America a living promise
of freedom for all mankind"
/ should like to call attention
to two Of these principles in
particular:
ID I'VE hold these truths to
be self-evident. that all men
are created equal. that they
are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights.
that among these are life. lib
erty and the pursuit Of happi-
ness. That to secure these
rights. governments are insti-
tuted among men. deriving
their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed"
II our National Government
can no longer secure our rights
to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness because Of the
threat of international conflict
and the use of weapons against
which there is no defense. then
men must institute a limited
world government to secure
these rights once again to
Americans as well as to men
everywhere.
(2) THE powers not dele
gated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohib-
tied by it to the States, are
reserved to the States respec-
lively, or to the people"
This would define our limited
world government as federal in
form, with powers not dele
gated to the United Nations.
reserved to the nations. the
States and the people.
1t is earnestly to be hoped
that Secretary for Peace Stas-
sen has not overlooked these
principles and their applica-
ton to the worlds dilemma, in
considering further American
proposals to the U.N. Disarma-
ment Commission. The state
of our Union can never be
what it should be until the
state of the universe Is found
ed en- the same principles we
have established in this Nation.
until we have all once again
secured our rights to life.
liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness.
