Warning ON Buildup

At his news conference, MI
Kennedy directed a warning
at Peiping while commenting
on the Red Chinese military
buildup opposite the Nation
alist off-shore islands Of Que
moy and Matsu.
THE United States will take
the action necessary to assure
the defense of Formosa and
the Pescadores," Mr.. Kennedy
declared. But he also said a
1854 agreement binding the
Nationalist not to move against
Red China without United
States agreement is still in
force, and he added:
II have indicated that our
interests in this area is de-
fenSive, and we would like to
have a PRONUNCIATION of the
use OF force" The United
States also repeatedly told Gen.
Chiang'S government that it
fatty opposes its threats of
attacks on the Communists.
The Peiping press, however,
emphasized what it called Mr..
Kennedy's "intimidating tone"
and reports of the departure of
several United States warshipS
from Japan for the Formosa
Strait "at the very time the
Chang Kai-shek gang is few

mainland"

Abraham Lincoln put quill
pen to paper 100 years ago to-
morrow and created the Inter-
nal Revenue Service.
The action was considered SO
inconsequential that The Star
waited two days to print the
news.
IRIS no longer can be ignored

annual business far surprising
that of any private corpora
ton, collecting nearly 500 bill
lion a year. And it probably
is the worlds most efficient
collection agency, with expen-
ses amounting to about half
a cent for every dollar of
revenue.
Of course, no collection
agency is apt to win public
applause-even on its Tooth
birthday. IRIS, recognizing the
inevitable, said in a centennial
announcement:
THE service is not likely to
become the most popular of
Federal agencies" But it mod
estly added that its function
is one of the most essential.
In Lincoln's day, IRIS was
needed to help finance the
Civil War for the Union. For
decades Federal budgets had
shown a consistent surplus
financed largely through tariffs
and sale of public land. But

Drive for Tax Cut Grows;
Kennedy Still Plans to Wait

during the new fiscal year
That is $40 billion under thu
administrations original fore.
cast, and would yield about ST.
billion less in revenues.
2. The tax cut due to be pro-
posed by Mr.. Kennedy himself
The President has not said how
much Of a cut he will seek.
3. Liberalized depreciation al
lowances for business equip
ment, plus an administration
proposal for tax credits for
manufacturers who invest in
new equipment. These could
slice SIPS billion from the Gov
ernment's income.
4. A likely increase in spend
ing over the level originally
recommended by the President.
Will Propose '63 Cuts
President Kennedy has said
he will recommend a broad tax
reform program, including re-
duction of rates in all brackets,
later this year for enactment
in 1868. He tentatively has re-
jected proposals by some of his
advisers to stimulate the econ
omy with a tax cut this year,
but has said he will reconsider
if the economy slumps.
Administration officials said
this position has not changed.
The Chamber, in a gesture
to its traditional position, said
its proposed tax cuts should be
partly offset by SIS billion of
reductions in Federal spending
Even though the tax cuts
would increase deficits, the
Chamber said, faster economic
growth would result and the
budget would shift into the
black in future years.
Tax cuts are needed now, the
Chamber said, because "a peri
cd of business indecision until
next year could well be all
that is needed to start the
(economy's) downward spiral"
"a delay now courts the
disaster of a recession" the Or
ganization warned.
Economy at Critical Point"
Mr.. Plumley told the news
conference he does not expect
a recession, but at a business
outlook conference later yester-
day he said:
II get a general feeling of
qualified optimism. The econ
omy has its bright spots and
some not so bright, and warn
ing signals of possible trouble
ahead. We are now at a criti-
cal point in the process of re-
covery."
The chamber said it's tax pro-
gram is designed primarily to
encourage business investment.
BY contrast, the AFL-CIO pro-
gram emphasizes expansion of
consumer purchasing power.
Several panelists at the out
look conference said they ex-
pect a recession to start this
year or in early 1868.

The official New China News
Agency, which speaks for the

Chinese people renounce their
right to liberate their own

mosa) :"
Red China has repeatedly re-
jected a no-force agreement,

Eisenhower. The Communists
claim that the question Of For

that they cannot be restrained
