Congress would give the

following.
The President could use the
power onlJ after he had iSs,'ed

an undesirable inflationary up
spiral.
The range of adjustment
would be limited to 5 per cent

The duration of the adjust
ment would be restricted to six

Congress would retain the
power to veto the adjustment

VY SYLVIA PORTER

We have had four recessionS
since World War II, each fairly
mild. relatively short and COM
paratively painless to the ma
jority Of Americans. The main
reason for this is that in the
last three decades we have built
into the economic system
automatic stabilizerS" which
cushion a business decline al
most from the week it starts.
Unemployment insurance is
one obvious Stabilizer. Social
Security is another stabilizer.
A third is the huge Federal
budget. This is a stabilizing
force because, as business
slows, the Treasury's tax take
dwindles and a deficit appears
in the budget. AS a result the
Government pours billions more
into the business stream than
it takes out and thereby helps
to create jobs and increase pay
checks. The built-in flexibility
Of the Federal budget is esti-
mated to have offset one-third
to two-fifths of the postwar
business declines. This is an
impressive anti-recession wea-
pom by any standard.
Now we are on the threshold
of another attempt to conquer
depreSsions in the form of
automatically flexible tax rates.
If a tax weapon were added
to our anti-recession arsenal
at the first clear signal of a
business downturn, there would
be an automatic cut in the
tax rate. This tax cut would
pour money into the hands
of millions who would spend
it and thus give our economy
a cash shot-in-the-arm at a
crucial moment.
A flexible tax rate respond
ing to Short-run downs and
ups in the economy is a major
recommendation in the report
of the Commission on Money
and Credit released yesterday.

CHAPTER THREE
The King Looks for Clues

While the ministers we're
busy squabbling about what had
happened and what was to be
done about it, King Ferdinand
was taking a walk.
All alone in the public square
he walked round and round
the big hole. He took a smaA
magnifying glass from his key
chain and from time to time
he got down on his hands and
knees to study the ground. Sew
eral times he jumped into the
hole and measured parts of 1t
with a tape measure he secretly
wore as a belt for his trousers.
When he had seen all there
was to be seen the King stood
for a long while clucking his
tongue and shaking his head.
He was trying to imagine how
the detectives in his favorite
detective stories would handle
such a situation. Presently he
remembered that one such de-
tective always advised his as
sistants to get away and take
a long view of a problem.
That's what l must dol" ex-
claimed the King. Il will get
as far away as l possibly can i;
then I will take a really good
look at this extraordinary prob
lem"
He hitched his ermine robes
over his arm and ran into the
palace and up the broad stairs.
Even when he had reached the
fifth floor he did not stop. He
opened a secret door into a
secret closet and climbed a cir
cular staircase that led up, up,
up into the highest tower OF
the palace.
When the stairs ended, the
King stood in a small room at
the very top of the Kingdom.
This should be far enough
away" he thought with salts
faction. He ran to a window
and poked his head out and
peered below. For a moment
all he could see were spots be-
fore his eyes. Then he realized
