Kennedy May
Ask Power 10
Raise, Cut Tax
BY the Associated Press

The Kennedy administration
Is reported to be seriously con-
sidering asking Congress to
give the President authority
to increase or reduce income
tax rates as a hedge against
initiation or recession.
The proposal, sources said
yesterday, may be presented
in one of President Kennedy S
major messages to Congress
this month. Presumably il
would be apart from the White
Houses tax revision program.
Behind the plan is the knowl-
edge that getting tax legisla-
ton through Congress is often
a drawn-out business. The in
formants said that by the time
a tax bill has been written,
put through hearings, amended,
passed and signed a recession,
for instance, could skid into a
depression.
Resistance Traditional
There is strong and tradi-
tional resistance to any Execu-
tive encroachment on Congress
taxing power. But admins
tration aides repeatedly have
worked out a formula they
think might be acceptable.
Although details were with
held, the plan was said to pro-
vide for presidential authority
to cut the basic 20 per cent
tax rate to possibly Is per cent
for a limited period only per-
haps for six months with the
cut subject to congressional
veto at any time.
Many economists have urged
that device on grounds the
Government needs a more
potent anti-slump weapon than
now available. D.
On the other hand, a tax
increase could help brake any
serious inflationary climb that
might rocket toward a boom
and bust.
Treasury Department tech
nlclanS and the Presidents
Council of Economic Advisers
were said to have reached sub
stantial agreement on what ups
and downs of key economic in
dlcators might be used as the
trigger" for presidential ac-
tion to order a temporary in
crease or reduction of the tax
rate.
Cut Would Act as StimuIant
1t is felt that Congress, if it
were to accept the program at
all, would insist that the trig-
ger indicators be clearly de-
fined by law.
Tax reduction long has been
recognized as probably the
most immediate and effective
Government stimulant to con-
sumner demand. 1t amounts to a
quick pay increase for wage
earners, and it can produce a
Federal deficit which auto
matically expands the credit
supply through the process of
Government borrowing.
On the other hand, a tax in
crease could help to curb any
really serious inflationary whirl
that might threaten to precipi-
tate a boom-and-bust.

Borboro Burns Ends
rogic Life at q

LOS ANGELES Jan. 2 (AP)
Barbara Ann Burns, unable
to break free from the mar
cotics that enslaved her, is
dead at 90. Her last wish had
been to die rather than go to
jail for an addiction she has
had since her teens.
The daughter of the late
millionaire comedian, Bob (Ba-
zooka) Burns, died in a hos
pital yesterday of an overdose
OF barbiturates, her third in
six months. She never regained
consciousness after being found
Saturday lying in a Hollywood
alley.
Il wish I had never seen
heroin or any other narcotic"
she said the first time she was
arrested for a narcotics of
fenSe, at 10. For anyone who's
thinking of trying it, just tell
them it's not worth it,"
Once an aspiring singer and
actress, Miss Burns had been
in and out of trouble with the
law because of her drug ad-
diction since her father died
in 1856.
Estranged From Mother
After the first arrest, she
told newsmen she became
estranged from her mother,
Harriet, over division of her
fathers estate. She became
lonely, she said. and turned to
dope.
Her supplier, she added, was
a man who gave her free
heroin for a month, then be-
gan charging her SIS to $50
a day. She said most of a
$500 monthly allowance from
her fathers estate went for
narcotics.
In a pocket of the pedal
pushers she wore when found
Saturday, deputies found a note
to her mother and brother,
Stephen, 81.
II love you. I'm sorry" she
wrote. "All I ever wanted was
your love and you hate me
and always will. Mr.. Weiss, all
money is to go to you and
Busby. Thanks for trying to
help"
Henry E. Weiss was her at

associate.

For Mental Health

The District of Columbia Association
for Mental Health, a United Givers Fund
Agency, will take timely advantage of
Mental Health Week (April 20 to May g.
to push for public support Of proposal
for a much-needed mental health clinic
in Southeast Washington. The associa-
ton has prepared some persuasive argu-
ments for presentation to Congress at
the Forthcoming hearings on the District
budget.
Although the District Health De-
partment recommended establishment
of such clinic to meet a growing de-
mand in the Southeast section, the small
fund requested, 5000, was eliminated
from the budget before it went to the
Capitol Yet, says the association, school
teachers, civic organizations and the
area Youth Council Board have asserted
that hundreds of children of that part
of the city should be given clinical
study and treatment. Some of these
unfortunates are being cared for at the
Northeast Clinic-but this facility is
badly overcroWded and underStaffed.
The public can give helpful support to
these mental health problems by join
ing the association and by joining in
the appeal to Congress for appropria-
tlon OF the clinic fund.

Green Liqht for Testino

1t was difficult for the President
TO give the order to proceed with
atmospheric nuclear tests And GER
tatnly no one can doubt that he walked
the last mile in his effort to persuade
the Russians to sign a test ban treaty
with adequate safeguards When they
persisted in their refusal, the signal
to resume our own tests became in
evitable
Chairman Holifield of the Joint
Congressional Committee on Atomic
Energy undoubtedly was correct when
he said that Mr.. Kennedy had made a
difficult and fateful" decision. But the
necessity for it is reflected in Mr.. Holi-
fields added comment that he believed
he spoke for all members of the COM
mittee in commencing the President
for his action. Most Americans, we feel
sure, will join in this commendation.
Much has been said, a great deal of
1t fantaStically untrue, about the fallout
hazards Of atmospheric tests. There
Will, OF course, be some fallout from
our tests, and no one suggests that fall
out in any degree is good for mankind.
Still, the fallout will be relatively in
significant, and certainly is not the
primary reason for the Presidents re-
luctance to resume testing.
The larger reason lies in the fact
that our tests probably will be followed
by another Soviet series, and where
this ultimately will lead no man can
say. But these facts remain: The
Russians last year preached the informal
test ban with an extensive series of
tests for which they had been secretly
preparing for many months while pre-
tending to negotiate with us for treaty
banning tests; they have refused to
this day to accept test ban with in
Spection adequate to prevent cheating,
and, If we should stand still, there
would be nothing to prevent them from
staging another surprise series of tests
from which they could derive a deci-
sive military advantage.
In this situation, the only prudent
course is to look to the dryness of our
own powder. We must accept the risk
OF doing this, knowing that the greater
risk would lie in doing nothing. And in
this process the senseless clamor from
the objectorS should be ignored. These
people cannot and will not contribute
anything to the security of the United
States and the free world That security
and the hopes for the future that go
with it rest exclusively on the superior
nuclear power of the United States. Lose
that and nothing will be left.

Few Kind Words

Finance Minister Jorge Mejia Pa
lacio Of Colombia, addressing the annual
meeting of the Inter-American Devel-
opment Bank in Buenos Aires, has
placed strained Interpretation upon
the Responsibilities" Of the Alliance for
Progress.
In passing kind word, he referred
to this keystone of the Kennedy admin
istration'S hemisphere good neighbor"
policy as "a crusade without compari-
son in history for its profound human
ity." His kindness, according to news
reports of his address, ended at about
that point On its failingS, by impli-
cation laid at the door Of United States
leadership, his remarks were more ex-
tended and specific.
The Alliance has, he complained,
failed to work out worldwide pact for
stabilization (at high leveD of coffee
prices and ito neutralize the adverse
tendencies in our economies" 1t has,
he added, stood by while foreign private
investment pulled back from Latin
America before the specter of Cuba"
and he suggested that "the morals of
private investors must be lifted and
their contributions must be demanded
in this historic crusade" It should, he
went on, finance the trade deficits that
Latin American countries have incurred
because our aid on highway and pow
er projects has stimulated the demand
for larger imports of automobiles and
machines.
Senor Mejia is aware, no doubt, that
Washington has made diligent efforts
to persuade European consumers and
African producers to enter into a world
coffee pact with the United States and
Latin America. We cannot command
them to do so. AS for "the specter of
Cuba" it is more than ghostlike for
those private investors whose vast prop
critics have been expropriated-with lit
tie or no hope at this point Of compen-
sation. There is no source here for
contributions" on a demand basis.
Neither Is there likely to be much public
support for financing trade deficits SIM
ply because we have been generous about
financing capital Improvements.
The Alliance for Progress was
launched as a cooperative project, an
alliance in fact that called for a great
basic effort on the part Of those who
stand to benefit the most If complaints
are in order, the record of this effort
should be examined.
