Economists Back Move
To Sidetrock Tax Cuts

for methods to improve the
timing Of its tax actions"
He urged Congress to work
out a package tax reduction pro-
gram to put on the shelf" for
handy access if tax cuts are
needed to counteract an eco
'nomic recession.
Even though a cut would be
inappropriate now" he said. 1.-THE
terms Of a balanced tax reduc-
ton could be worked out and
put on the shelf side by side
with the corporate and excise
tax cuts scheduled for mid 1858. "
Much the same thought was
expressed by Prof. William Fell
ner Of Yale University.
Within the present growing
economy, he said, is the need
for deliberate long-run planning
of gradual tax reduction" with
out "haphazard and risky cuts
in the budget"

The evident decision Of con-
gressional leaders to sidetrack
income tax reduction this year
is getting plenty of support from
the economists.
Virtually without exception,
experts testifying this week be-
fore a Senate-House Economic
Subcommittee have opposed tax
cutting now as inflationary dur
ing a time of rising Government
spending.
AS the subcommittee today
marshaled additional testimony
on types of tax relief, expert
opinion also seemed pretty much
agreed that Congress should
take a longer view of tax mat
tiers than it has.

Dr. Pickering. chairman OF

said the Caltech scientists have
learned a great deal about the
satellites orbit which he said
probably is not circular. but
slightly elliptlcal"
He said the Red sphere
closest approach to the earth
may be about 300 miles. al
though its average height above
the earth Is $50 miles. The
Russians had said their satel-

miles out IN space. but did not
say whether that was maxi

lance Dr. Hagen estimated
the satellites orbit took 1t ar
average OF 400 miles from the
earth.
Estimates Differ
Prof Blagonravov estimated
that the Russian satellite would
stay aloft about a month. But
Dr. Pickering said the sphere
probably will have an extremely
long life
Dr. Pickering also said the
