Tax Cuts Nod
Over Reforms
BY GARNETT d. HORNER
star staff Writer

President Kennedy gives tax
cuts priority over tax reforms
this year although he hopes
Congress will approve both.
He made this clear at a press
conference late yesterday soon
after sending his package pro-
gram of big cuts and tough
reforms to Congress.
But If the reform part of the
package is sidetracked, he en-
phasized. the cuts should be
less than he recommended.
The Presidents program
calls for individual and cor
porate income tax rate reduc-
tions aggregating $13.6 billion
in three stages, and a variety
of reforms-including a limi-
tation on itemized deductions
designed to produce a par
TALLY offsetting revenue gain
Of $3.4 billion.
Both Important
At his press conference, a
reporter remarked that Con-
gress seems to be more inter-
ested In reducing taxes than
in making reforms" and asked
If one depended on the other.
Il consider both very inn
portant," MIR. Kennedy said.
But he quickly stressed that
he thinks it is essential "that
we begin this tax reduction
this year If we are going to
maintain or develop or stimu-
late our economic growth"
He said he will put action
this year to cut taxes "as the
first priority"
Congress will have to make
the judgment whether both re-
form and reduction can be
done this year, he added. He
said he is hopeful that Con-
greSs will hold onto both"
Asked If he would accept a
tax cut bill which did not en-
body his proposed reforms, the
President said it is too early
to tell.
Package Best Approach
II think it would be unwise," !"
he added, ito carry out our
total tax reduction package
unless we picked up revenue
some other place or reduced
the amounts of the cuts. So
my judgment is that the pack
age is the best approach"
But in any case, he said
some progress should be made
on the first step of the three
stage reduction program,
come what may"
He pointed out that Chair
man Mills of the House Ways
and Means Committee has
been particularly interested in
the reform part of the tax
proposals." mot only because
it secures back some of the
revenue but also there
are some reforms which will
stimulate growth and steer In
come or investment into areas
which better serve the national
purpose"

If President Kennedy has his
way, you'll have to change youl
way Of figuring out your in
come tax.
Put yourself somewhere into
the shoes of a typical, mythical
family of four-Sidney the
clerk, his wife Gladys, the SUBJ
stitute kindergarten teacher,
and their two children.
Here is how they now figure
out their income tax:
Sidney earned $4,000 in 1862
Gladys earned $2,500. They
had no income other than their
wages. So they file q joint
income tax return and list what
is called their adjusted gross
income as $500.
Four Exemptions
A family Of four has foul
exceptions, each worth $500
So Sidney and Gladys deduct
$2,400 from the adjusted gross
income. That diminishes theil
taxable income to $500.
Now they must decide how to
deduct their expenses. They
may take the standard deduc-
ton of 10 per cent Of their ad-
justed gross income. That
would be $750. But they figure
their deductible expenses
amount to more than that SC
they decide to itemize their de-
ductions.
First. their medical expenses,
including some dental work
and some drugs, came to $500
in 1862. Under the law, they
may not deduct all this. They
may deduct for drugs only the
excess over / per cent of their
adjusted gross income. Then
they must add this to their
medical bills, and reach a new
total. But they can't deduct
this new total either. They
may deduct only the excess
over 8 per cent Of their ad-
justed gross income.
Pencil Work Needed
With some painstaking pencil
work, they figure out that their
floor" is $500, subtract this
from $500, and list $500 as
their medical deduction.
Then Sidney and Gladys list
their other deductions: $45C
for interest, including that
paid on their home mortgage
$3.50 for contributions, includ-
ing their Community Chest
fund gift; $500 for State and
local taxes, including their sales
taxes, and $50 for miscellane-
Gus, including the tuition paid
by Gladys for an evening course
that will help her get another
teaching certificate.
The itemized deductions total
$500. Sidney and Gladys
subtract this and arrive at 9
final taxable income Of $4,000
Under the present rate sched-
ule, their tax is 20 per cent Of
their taxable income or $720.
For the future, let's make
two assumptions, that Congress
approves Mr.. Kennedy's pro-

Tax Formula to Change
If President Has Woy

posed tax changes and that
Sidney and Gladys have the
same salaries and expenses in
1868, 1864 and 1865.
For 1864, they have a new
tax rate. They look it up on
a Government table and find
they must pay $3.50 plus 10
per cent of their taxable in
come over $4,000.
Since their taxable income
was $500 (or $1,000 more
than $4,000, they must pay
$370 plus 10 per cent Of 81, 500.
The total tax is $674, or SAG
less than they paid for 1862.
For 1868, they have a new
problem. Mr.. Kennedy wants
a basic change in itemized de-
ductions to 60 into effect in
1854. The big change-you
can deduct only the excess of
expenses over 5 per cent of
your adjusted gross income.
There is another change
Instead of the complicated
formula for medical deductions
used in 1862. Sidney and Gladys
now may simply use 4 per cent
as their floor" In their case,
it makes no difference in the
medical deduction.
Deductions Total Drops
AS we saw, Sidney and Gladys
deducted $500 in total item
lied expenses for 1862 and
1868. But now they subtract
5 per cent of $500 or 1915
from this. Their itemized de-
ductions now total SLIPS.
This increases their taxable
income to S3,975.
Sidney and Gladys now look
up their tax rate on the 1864
Government table. They find
they must pay 1910 plus II
per cent of their taxable in
come over $4,000.
For them, this means paying
S310 plus II per cent of 81 ,975.
The total tax is $646, or $28
less than the tax for 1868 and
STA less than the tax for 1862. q,
For 1865, the year the Presi-
dent wants his new tax rate to
take full effect, Sidney and
Gladys, with their taxable in
come Of $3,975, look up their
rate on the 1865 tax table.
The table shows their tax is
$3.50 plus 16 per cent of their
taxable income over $4,000, in
short, $3.50 plus l6 per cent OF
$1,975. So their 1865 tax is
1896, or $50 less than their tax
for 1864. $78 less than their
tax for 1868, and 124 less than
their tax for 1862.
Any typical family, by follow
ing the example of Sidney and
Gladys, may figure out their
taxes under the Presidents pro-
posed changes for 1868, 1864
and 1865.
OF course, since not every
typical family has the same
taxable income as Sidney and
Gladys. their rates will be diff
ferent.
Here are some sample rates
for married taxpayers to help
you fit better into the shoes OF
Sidney and Gladys:

Jets Told to Use

The Federal Aviation Agency
has ruled that, after June 80
all jet airliners and all other

strument flight rules above
$4,000 feet, must use DINE
distance measuring equipment
The agency said yesterday
the new requirement will be ex-

craft operating on instruments,
regardless of altitude.
Airborne DINE provides pilots
with continuous information
on distance from a known
ground station.
With other navigational
equipment DINE gives the pilot
information on his direction
