Tax Cut Of SIS Billion
Proposed by Truman
Gives Ideas
For Ending
Depression
by MARY McGRORY
and LEE M. COIN
eta atam Vy.tt


Former President Harry 8.
Truman prescribed today a IS
billion tax cut for middle and
low-income families and q
heavy increase in public spend.
ing as his remedies for the re.
ceSSion.
Mr.. Truman told a House
Banking subcommittee he
would mot sit in the midst
Of a pool Of economic stagna-
ton while the Russians are
overhauling us because Of some
fear-whether it be real or
fanciful-of imitation some
where down the road in the
future"
Mr.. Truman urged revision Of
the tax laws as an immediate
means Of putting more spend
ing power into the hands Of
average American families.
THE obvious and quickest
way to do this is to revise the
tax structure so as to reduce
by about IS billion the amount
Of taxes imposed on middle and
low income families. How
ever, the Congress should be
careful not to pass out tax
benefits to investors and we'll
TODD people who, if they are
suffering at all. are suffering
because average American FAM
lilies do not have enough pur.
chasing power"
11-Page Statement
Dapper in dark blue suit,
the former President read an
ll-page statement to a stand
ing-room- only crowd in the
Ways and Means Committee
room. He gave short answers
to Republican congressman
who queried him on various
aspects Of his paper.
He told his leading critic on
the committee, Representative
Tale. Republican Of Iowa, that
he had never been for a general
tax cut and that the foolish
tax cut of l954V enacted by q
COP Congress had been one Of
the causes of this situation.
In the current serious" re-
cession. Mr.. Truman said:
Eve can tighten the tax bur-
denS on low-income groups
without running the danger Of
a large temporary drop in rev.
enue. The reduction for low
income groups should be &C
companied by tax changes
which will increase revenues
from other sectors of the econ
omy and help to balance the
budget. Most important is to
close up the most glaring tax
loopholes. This should bring
in about So billion more in tax
revenues.
Production Stressed
Tax revenues can be in
creased by another 81 billion or
so by getting rid of some Of the
"inequitable benefits to provi-
LEGGED groups" in the tax reduce
ton of 1854" he said.
Once again Mr.. Truman
called for a return to the phi
losophy of maximum employ
ment and maximum produce
ton. He said:
In order to make reasonable
progress toward maximum pro-
duction and employment we
should lift the total national

Congress checked in for work today with word from the
grass roots that people worried-manly about

Many members returned with the belief a tax cut of
kind is needed but only few listed tax reduction

Of 53l-reSponded to a Nation
wide Associated Press survey of
what they found out back home
during the Easter recess of
Congress. Replies came from
l42 House members, 80 Sena-
tors: from 100 Democrats. 70
Republicans.
Four questions were put to
each member:

to be troubling constituents
most? The recession. unem-
ployment and the farm Ques-
ton stood out among dozens of
others which are bound to be
major or minor issues in the
upcoming congressional cleo
ton campaign.
Foreign Aid Criticism
2. Will he be inclined to favor
a tax cut bill now? Among
those taking a stand, the ratio
was about 2-l for a reduction,
but with widespread disagree
ment on the type. Only q
members mentioned taxes as
an issue back home. with seven
listing it first. The variety OF
tax-cutting ideas added to the
difficulty of agreement on a bill
that can be passed.
3. Do people want more, or

less. Federal spending? This
was close, with the edge slightly
for more. Widespread criticism
of spending for foreign aid un-
derscored the amount of trouble
the aid program already is en-
countering in Congress.
4. Are the grass roots for
or against foreign trade expan-
sion, or is there indifference
to the issue? There was plenty
of indifference. But by a mar
gin of about 2l2 to l. members
reported that sentiment among
interested voters leaned to-
ward increased trade.
Some Congress members
answered some questions only
in part or not at all. And like
the politicians they are. some
answered in such a way that
nobody can figure out where
they stand.
Several members, all Re-
publicans. reported little con-
Germ about anything at the
grass roots.

The parking facility alone

an auditorium which could be
used for summer workshops.
There should also be a special

kinds of schools. Children with
severe problems should be taken
out of the regular school situa.
ton and put into one where there
are different rules and expecta-
tions. These children need to be
removed from the tensions of
modern living in the home and
community.
Another center needed would
be one with vocational training
in subjects not offered elsewhere
in the community. There would
be high standards for entrance
which would be based on the stu
dents ability to accomplish some
thing worthwhile. II am leery
of a dumping-ground type of vo-
.cational school, warned the SUI

Still another type of cen
Ter, not in conjunction with

would be residential school.
