Humphrey Turns
ThumbsDownon
Any TaxCuts
Opposes z Senators
In Bid to Drop Rates
For Small Concerns
BY ]. A. O'LEARY

Treasury Secretary Humphrey
today opposed special tax relief
for any group at this time.
In asking the Senate Finance
Committee for a one-year eX-
tension Of SO billion in corpora
ton and excise taxes which ex-
pire April /. he turned thumbs
down on amendments by two
Democratic Senators to lower the
rates on small business.
Mr.. Humphrey testified that
present tax rates are too high
for long continued retention
and would in the long run seri-
ouSly hamper our vigorous eco
nomic growth"
The moSOpimportant and eff
fective tax change that can pos
Sibly be made to promote steady
economic development is a re-
duction in all rates for all tax
payers when our fiscal situation
permits" he added.
Points to Spending
But he reminded the commit
tee that this can only be done
after Government expenditures
have been reduced.
This prompted Senator Ander-
son. Democrat of New Mexico, to
suggest that those who are try
ing to cut expenses would be
more successful if the people were
told that these high corpora
ton and excise taxes will con-
.tinue until the budget is cut and
not Just for one year.
Senator Flanders, Republican
of Vermont, suggested that the
extension be made for only three
months in the hope that this
Congress may be able to cut the
budget by July J..
He said If that hope was
realized this Congress might be
able on July ! to repeal some OF
the present excise taxes, which
act as sales taxes.
Secretary Humphrey objected
to only three-month extension
now. but said he would go along
with fixing July ! as the expira-
ton date next year.
Two Senators Testify
The two Democrats whe went
before the committee this morn
ing to urge lower rates on small
business were Senators Fulbright
of Arkansas and Sparkman Of
Alabama.
Senator Fulbright is propos-
ing to cut the normal rates to
% per cent on the first $25, 900,
and raise the surtax rates to 81
per cent on income above that
point.
Senator Spafkman proposes
IA graduated scale. starting
at 5 per cent on the first $4,000
of corporate income and going
up to SIS per cent on all over
100000. He claims his amend
ment would boost Treasury in
come by nearly 500 million. and
at the same time. give tax relief
to all small businesses. Senator
Sparkman is also seeking four
other types of tax relief for small
business.

to the smooth operation"
