Takes 4 Months
Work For Taxes

During the month of May the
average American taxpayer begins
to work for himself The average
worker has had to work for the
months of January, February,
March, April, up to May 10, just
to earn enough 10 pay his taxes for
the year, according to Graham Pat
tersoE. publisher Of the Farm
Journal.
These observations were brought
out today by Mr.. Patterson. to
point out the urgent need for some
tax reform in our federal income
tax structure. There are a great
many people who still don't realize
just how deeply the federal income
tax cuts into their incomes" he
said MANY thousands of taxpayers
recently pOlled expressed amaze
ment that the tax rate went as high
as 35 per cent"
When told that income tax rates
go as high as 81 per cent, they
could hardly believe it, he said.
For the first time in twenty years
Mr.. Patterson said, a bill has been
introduced in Congress which
would bring about a major reform
in the income tax structure, and
reduce the steeply progressive
high tax rates which penalize sue
cess, stifie incentive, and block ven
ture capital"
He referred to the bill, H. R.
6452, introduced by Representative
A. N. Sadlak, Conn, which would
reduce the individual and cOrpo-
rate income taxes to a maximum
of AZ per cent, by annual reduc-
tions made over a period of five
years. Individual income tax Gu the
first $4,000 of net income-pai0 by
all axpayers-wOuld drop from
the present 20 per cent TO Is per
cent, and gradual reductions also
would be made in all the progress
sive surtax rates.
The Sadlak bill is the first prac-
tical attempt to put an automatic
brake on future spending plans. The
bill will compel big federal spend
ing programs to compete against
regularly scheduled income tax re-
ductiOns.
Once the government is commit
ted to orderly, forward schedu-
ling" of tax reduction, "the big
spending advocates" the publisher
said, would find themselves pitted
against the definite expectations OF
the American people of specific tax
cuts-instead of the vague hope
that taxes might someday come
down"
Also the Sadlak bill has unique
provisions for the postponement
of scheduled tax cuts in case of an
emergency. The reductions could
if necessary, be spread over a
maximum of nine years.
According to Mr.. Patterson, "the
bill is a commOn-sense approach to
tax reduction, and he felt that
Congress should schedule open
hearings on the Sadlak bill.
''The stricken taxpayer needs
relief, and this is a question that
must not be settled in political
caucus" Mr.. Patterson declared
I'VE are sure congressman will be
hearing from home in volumes OF
mail supporting the Sadlak bill
Certainly it deserves quick action
and early public hearings in Con
gress."

Rocket Fuel
Stocks Jump;
Market Dips

NEW YORK. Nov. 7 '(R.-
Rocket fuel stocks splurged
ahead in a sudden rally while
the stock market as a whole
remained lower in moderate
trading early this afternoon.
Wall Streets attention was
focused on high-energy fuels
for rocket propulsion after a
report that Russia's Sputnik
II used a liquid super-fuel.
United States Borax. Ameri-
can Potash and Olin Mathie-
son, all involved in high-energy
fuel projects, spurted suddenly
after a mediocre opening.
So heavy was the demand for
DIN Mathieson that trading
was suspended in the stock for
a half hour to match excessive
buy orders with sellers.
1t had leaped ahead 3la
points at the time trading was
suspended. It reopened on a
block of 5000 shares. up 3K4 at
4234.
Some of the rocket fuel
stocks pared their gains in
later dealings.
The performance was drab
for most key industrials which
were down solidly on average.
Aircrafts and other missile-re-
lated stocks were ragged. This
was based partly on profit-tak-
ing after their recent rise.
Wall Street sources said, too,
that factors included a pub
lished report predicting that
President Eisenhower tonight
will not recommend a drastic
change in the Nations missile
program and that the Defense
Department does not plan a
sharp Step-up in military
spending.
Corporate bonds were steady.
Government bonds were firm.

Decision Is Delayed
In Steel Merger Case

NEW YORK, Nov. Z (PD.-A
Federal judge has reserved de-
cision on the Governments mo-
ton for a summary judgment
to block the proposed merger
of Bethlehem Steel Corp. and
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.
At the end OF two days of oral
argument. Judge Edward Wein-
field yesterday gave both sides
additional time to prepare their
case.
Judge Weinfeld gave the Gov
eminent 10 days in which to
answer a defense brief, and al
lowed the defense two weeks
beyond that time to present
affidavits about testimony it
would produce at a trial.
The Government contends
the proposed merger would re-
duce competition and violate
the antitrust laws. The COM
panieS claim such a merger
would stimulate rather than
lessen competition.
