aging of the Presidents tax
program.
If the economic situation de-
teriorates, he may rush tax
cuts by splitting reforms out
of the package for later con-
sideration. If the nom y
looks relatively good next jan
uary, when the President sends
his tax proposals to Congress,
he may demand stringent re-
form legislation at the same
time as taxes are reduced.
At the moment, the most
likely approach apparently is
a single bill providing for STEP
by-step tax reductions and re-
forms over a period of one or
two years.
May Decide in January
If current circumstances
prevail in January, Mr.. Ken
nedy probably will propose a
first-stage tax cut retroactive
to January /, 1868. These re-
auctions would be linked to
some mild reforms to take
effect soon after the bills en-
actment.
The same legislation proba-
bly, would provide in advance
for further tax reductions and
additional reforms - more
stringent than the first batch
to take effect in 1864.
This step-by-step procedure
would be designed to minimize
the impact of tax cuts on the
budget deficit, encourage fast
congressional action, give the
economy time to digest reforms
and save some Of the tax-cut
ammunition for sparkling the
second stage of the hoped-for
economic upSwing.

tax loopholes, of course, sell

and saw 1879 of them win and
141 defeated. AGA Endorsed
1853 House candidates, of whom
122 we're victorious and SO lost.
The AGA record does not ap-
pear as impressive, however,
when a count is made of the
Endorsements of candidates in
other than safe" districts. In
the House races where the in
dorSed candidates really had a
fight on their hands, AGA
backed candidates won in rs of
so races. In similar situations,
COPE supported candidates
took So of 108 races.
On the Senate Level
COPE was far more success
full than AGA on the Senate
level, winning 20 of 20 contests
in which it made an indorSe-
ment, while AGA won in only
seven of ID.
COPE also Endorsed guber-
Material candidates, winning is
of the % races in which it ex-
pressed a preference.
AS a rule, COPE backed lib
orally inclined Democratic con-
gressional candidates. Excep-
lions were five liberal Northern
Republican Congressman in
dorSed by COPE - Senator
Aiken of Vermont and Repre-
sentatives Cahill of New Jersey,
Halpern of New York and Elmo
of New York. All won re-
election with ease.
AGA Endorsed conservative

lected the most conservative
candidate in Southern districts

The only Northern Democrat
Endorsed by AGA was Senator
Lausche of Ohio, who won easy
reelection.
COPIES Endorsement took an
unusual turn in the 18th dis
trict of New York (Staten
Island=Brookly-D where it
backed Republican Robert T.
Conner, a moderate conserva-
tive, over Democrat John M
Murphy, a man of generally
liberal sentiments. Mr.. Murphy
won and propably will vote
far more often for COPE
backed bills than Mr.. Conner
would have if elected.
Virginia and Maryland
In the Sd Virginia district
(Richmond), veteran Demo
cratic Representative Gary, a
moderate conservative, received
ACA's Endorsement but came
within 343 votes of losing the
election to ultraconservative
DR.. Louis H. Williams.
In addition to Mr.. Gary in
Virginia, AGA backed the sue
ceSSful reelection bids of Dem
ocratic Representatives Abbitt
and Tuck and Republican Rep
resentatives Broyhill and Poff.
COPE was on the losing side
in Virginia in backing Demo-
Gratis Augustus C. johnson
against Mr.. Broyhill and John
P. Wheeler, jr., against Mr.
Poff.
AGA made no Endorsements
in Maryland and COPE backed
the winning Democratic ticket.
1t also backed Democrat John
R. Foley in his unsuccessful
race against G. o. P. Repre-
sentative Matthias in the 9Th

New Attitude

I am glad that Carole
(TEEN, June 22) wrote to
Play Back to continue the
column. I used to think that
if I didn't write to Play
Back, someone else would,
but I realize now that if
everyone had this attitude
there wouldn't be any Play
Back column. I hope teen
ayers write to Play Back so
that it will be continued.
AS for Carole'S question
for discussion: rs World
War III inevitable?" I don't
think it is inevitable. At least
I hope that we teen-agers
will be intelligent enough to
prevent it. This may sound
corny, but I think one of the
best ways to prevent it is by
starting to go to church reg
ularly. I, too, would like more
opinions about this.

... a much bigger man than
1 thought. He's bigger than
my father. I didn't feel any,
thing until I looked into his
eyes. They're small and at
first you think they're deep
set. There's a wisdom and
almost a loneliness in his
eyes. It's like looking into
the eyes of Odin-powerful,
but friendly. President Ken
nedy is magnetic, but at the
same time he gives you the
feeling of being unattain-
able"
"COLORFUL," says Bob
Gardner of Hyattsville, Md.
Il had seen the President so
often on television that it
came as a shock to learn
that he does not have a
black, white and gray COM
pleXion. He is very SUM-
tanned, healthy and has a
redish glow. His clothing was
good looking. He had on a
dark blue suit, a light blue
tie and his hair was COM
pletely free of that greasy
kids stuff"
DYNAMIC, THE GREAT
EST" says Alabama teen
ager John B. Mckinney, jr.,
of Talladega. Here was a
man who was not only re-
spected and highly regarded
because of his high position,
but here I was confronted
with a man with a personal
dedication and devotion to
the cause of freedom every
where.

Presidents height and obvi-

hands in his coat pockets,
and gave us a challenge"
says Dave. He told us it's
our responsibility to fill the
responsible positions and be
the leaders. He didn't tell us
we would be, but that we
should be.
Then after about eight
minutes with us, the Presi-
dent said he'd better be get
ting on to a National Securi-
ty meeting. He thanked us
for coming and said goodbye
personally to some and shook
others hands. We stood up
and applauded until he was
way past the door.

President called my name out
and asked if I was in the

was truly amazed at him

Pueblo, Colo. He walks in
the room and you feel you
have known him all your life
and like you were home. He
spoke calmly, softly and he
was relaxed. He wasn't at all
as I had pictured him. He
looked more rundown, like a
person who had gone with
out and done without to
serve his country"
"HARDWORKING," says
Nick j. Hall of Saginaw,
Mich. He looks tired and
aged. I expected to see him
in an array of fashionable
attire. He was not dressed as
the highest officer of the
United States, but a human
being with human feelings in
an ordinary dark blue suit"
AWARE" is Derek (Pete)

Pasco, Wash, teen-ager says
that even in the rush of his
daily schedule, the President
seemed completely composed
and a ware of immediate
events"
Il was surprised at his
eyebrows. They're bushy,"
explains Pete. And the light
color of his hair surprised
me. He looks older and worn
out compared to his appear

seems definitely active and
alive"
SENSITIVE" says Rich

Teen-agerS are always good
for a candid opinion and an
astute observation.
And that holds true, even
after they have an unexpect-
ed meeting with the PreSi-
dent of the United States.
Forty-two teen-agers, who
were in Wa shington this
week as delegates to the
YMCA National Youth Gov
errors Conference, took a
tour of the White House.
While Special Counsel to
the President Theodore C.
Sorensen was explaining
functions of the White House
to them, President Kennedy
walked into the briefing
room.
For the next eight min
utes, as the President talked
with the group, the teen
ayers were listening, and do
ing some of the most con-
contracted looking of their II
and Is years.
TEEN asked Is of the
teen-agers how they would
describe the President in an
affective or two, and what
surprised them most about
seeing the President in a
closeup meeting.
ACTIVE, VITAL, INTEL
LECTUAL." These are the
adjectives Clifton c. Maclin,
jr., of Chicago chose for his
description of the President
of the United States after
meeting him.

and more athletic looking
than I thought he would be.

as CURE and CONFI-
DENT" says Jess Barfield of
Orlando, Fla. 1T made me
have a warm feeling down
inside to know that our coun-
try is in his hands. I also
felt I had known the Presi-
dent for a long while. He has
a deep-South hospitality. He
talked from his heart, like
he really meant it. I was sur
prised that he remembered
our names as he left to go
to a National Security Coun-
Gil meeting.
He dresses like us, not like
a high-hat politician. His
eyes, when they focus on you,
are almost enough to hypno-
tie you. Also, I could tell
from his complexion that he
enjoys his sailing"
"DIGNIFIED," is Rick
Lund's adjective. The Gardi-
ner, Me, teen-ager says the
Presidents walk and speech
show this. Hes very sober.
I was surprised to see that
he seems to have aged since
his election, and he looks like
he's lost weight"
TROUBLED" says Pete
Pendleton of Roanoke, Va.
HE has the look of a great
man, but you can also see
that the burden of the prob
lens of the world rest square
ly on his shoulders. This
shows in his face. He has
an older look. In 1860 I saw
him speaking in Roanoke.
Besides seeming older, he
seems more sober on his out
look on life. Even when he's
joking, he seems sober"
calm and PEACEFUL"
says Vince Brown, jr., of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-29

I thought he would be
paunchy, I guess because of
his neck in pictures - it's
right full.
His hair is lighter than I
thought it would be, it even
has a red tinge and a little
gray"
Il can see how he would
draw crowds. He's like Hitler
must have been. And when
you look in his eyes you get
a confident air. Mr.. Kennedy
would be comfortable in any
type of crowd.
He wore black, lace-up
shoes, with a seam across the
toe. He has a small foot to
be such a big man, about a
size 10 shoe"
ENERGETIC" That's the
feeling Diane La Marche of
Manchester. N. H., got from
the President. And was I
surprised when he came over
to shake my hand. I was
greatly surprised. I was sur
prised, too, that the Presi-
dent was interested enough
in young people to talk to
us. He made us feel impor-
tant and encouraged us in
our ambitions"
WISE" says Dave Drum
mond, of Kailua, Hawaii.
He seems endowed with a
rare wisdom-a man who is
just as able to be a student
and follower as a teacher and
leader. This is apparent in
his presence. And it remains
after he leaves you. You
want to belong to any group
he's in. What surprised me,
though, was that he took a
break in his busy schedule
to talk to U.S."

Republican gains in the
South were made by white
conservative segregationists.
Major Negro gains all over
the country were made, with
one exception, by liberal
Democrats.
These aspects of the cleo
ton will generate strong
pressures in both parties and
require careful consideration
by their national strategists.
The trends now signified in
such concrete terms have long
existed and the politicians
have temporized.
Perhaps their fast foot
work will suffice in off-year
elections for awhile, but
presidential candidates who
must seek their electoral votes
in so States will be required
to take a firmer stance.
The problem is new to
Republicans, who up to now
have been a regional party.
When their hold was firm on
the big industrial States they
could give lip service on the
race issue and still prevail,
for they had nothing to lose
in the South.
After the New and Fair
Deals broke that hold, ap-
parently for. good, they
began to eye the South.

70rdy Revelation of u. S. Deficit

gress for 9 out of the last
IL years, and the United
States Treasury shows a total
deficit of $45.5 billion in that
period. Even on a cash basis,
the Treasury shows a total
deficit of $29.7 billion in the
fiscal years 1853 through
1868.
The outstanding point is
that, despite the decline in
estimated income this year,
the administration kept on
spending and is promising
more and more spending for
the future. A tax cut is being
advocated for next year by
administration economists as
a means of improving the
business situation. But this
can be offset by the LII effects
of a growing deficit which
will, for instance, affect adj
versely the American dollar
abroad.
In private business, If year
after year more money is
spent than is taken in, and
there seems no prospect of
turning the tide as more and
more deficits are envisaged,
the usual result is bank
ruptcy. The Federal Treasury
could keep on borrowing to
meet deficits but at a higher
and higher rate of interest.
When, however, the public
loses confidence in the none
tary unit, prices tend to rise
faster than they can be alb
Sorbed by wage increases, and
a steady devaluation of the
currency is the inevitable
result.
The latest budget review is
certainly discouraging, as the
public will find it hard to be-
lieve the administrations es-
Inmates of a balanced budget
or surplus when, within so
brief a period as 10 months,
a promised surplus Of $463
million turns out to be a
deficit Of at least $7.8 billion
and now the outlook is for
a $40 billion deficit for the
next fiscal year beginning
July /, 1868, even without q
tax cut.
For the first time in many
years, an administration has
omitted to mention in its
mid-year estimates the exact
figure Of the national debt.
This evidently will be 1902
billion, which is in excess of
the limit imposed by existing
law, and Congress will be
asked in January to raise the
debt limitation.
