The Committee for Economic
Development yesterday called
for a temporary 20 per cent cut
in all income tax rates if the
economy in March and April
drops below the February level.
The privately supported re-
search organization said this
SIS billion booster shot, pos
sibly starting at mid-year and
running for nine months,
should be enforced with short
term public works and accele-
rated Federal spending.
The committee argued
against including any corpora
ton or excise tax relief in this
quickie cut in the money with
held from paychecks for in
come taxes. If emergency ac-
ton is needed at all. it said,
the Government should con-
centrate on a simple, strong
measure ION which quick
agreement would be most
readily forthcoming"
The committee said the re-
cession by last month was as
severe in terms of unemploy-
ment and production as those
Of l949 and 1884. Its state
ment emphasized the committee

But 1t added, I'VE must also

The Government, therefore
should agree at once on what
emergency measures it would
take if a further drop occurred,
the committee said, as well as
upon the conditions which
would trigger the remedial
measures.
IF the economic situation
becomes clearly worse than in
the earlier postwar receSsions,
strong action should be taken,
the statement said.

Nixon Sees Recovery
Tied to Buyer Market
Sales Drive
Would Mean
Cut in Prices
By GOULD LINCOLN
Star star Writer


, Vice President Nixon has .
very definite opinion that to
start the Nations economy on
the road to recovery. it is neces-
sary to bring about a buyers
market" in this country. This
may be interpreted as meaning
lower prices.
He is convinced. it was
learned yesterday, that industry
and retailers must engage in
the great sales program, COM
peting for the buyers dollars
all down the line.
Despite the business recess
sion, and the continuing high
cost of living, Mr.. Nixon con-
tends, many sellers are acting
today as if this was a sellers
market" and he adds emphati-
cally: 1T should be a buyers
market" and that "the sellers
should take a look at their
price structures" OF course. he
says, there's a floor below which
they cannot go in lowering
prices.
Mr.. Nixon does not contend
that a sales program, with lower
prices, is the sole answer to
the economic problem. But he
does say it can be an important
part of the answer.
Applies to Labor
The Vice President does not
confine this buyers market only
to those who have goods to sell.
1t should apply, he insists. to
labor as well as management.
In this connection, he points
out that within a short time
the country will be facing a new
problem, growing out of wage
negotiations coming up in some
Of the major industries-not-
ably. the automobile and air
plane industries. How those
negotiations go will have q very
definite effect on the economic
situation. General increases will
bring about increases in prices
of commodities, the spiral
which has been responsible for
the present situation.
He does not take the position
that there should be no wage
increases this year, but he in
sists that any wage increases
must be related to Increased
productivity" otherwise" he
says, 1.-The inevitable result will
be increased imitation"
Living Cost Up Again
Figures just released by the
Government show that the cost
of living again has increased.
Mr.. Nixon points out that the
increase has been due to the
higher prices of food-not Of
other commodities. He attrib-
utes this primarily to the ex-
IRENE winter weather in parts
of the country where produce
ton has been hard hit. as in
Florida.
Food costs. he says, are one

Judge Orm w. Ketcham, ir

what happens to the youthful
offenders they send before his
bench.
The decision to forward no
tice of court action breaks q

Former Judge Edith Cockrill,
Judge Ketcham's predecessor al
the court who left a year ago
refused the police such infor-
nation except in certain indi-
dividual cases.
Change Hailed by Winters
Detectives working with juve-
niles often have been handi-
capped by not knowing what
happened to the children re-
ferred by the police to Juvenile
Court.
The change was hailed by
Inspector John E. Winters, head
of the Juvenile Division, as
something "vitally neOded for
law enforcement"
Several years ago Police Chief
Robert v. Murray attempted to
work out a system of obtaining
the information but was blocked
by Judge Cockrill's discretion
airy powers under the Juvenile
Court Act.
When Judge Ketcham was
appointed to the bench. police
officials approached him and
asked further consideration OF
the matter.

night that he agreed a month
ago to furnish police with dis
positions. He noted that extern
