DRY POINTS
BY FRED GRAM

The TV keeps screaming that
we'll get dish-pan hands If we
wash the dishes in harsh laundry
detergents. We don't believe it. We
know a chap who has been using
the stuff as shampoo for years,
without developing dish-mop hair.
The Bay Of Pigs may not have
been a paper-back publishers con-
spiracy, but it is mighty suspicious
that it came along just about the
time the market had completely
run out on exposes Of Pearl Har-
Dor.
We expect Minnesota to become
the 50th state to find out who was
elected governor Of Minnesota.
The University Of Mississippi
may not be the best in the bus
mess, but we have been told that
its co-eds would make top-notch
tutors to drunken sailors wishing
to enrich their vocabularies.

Why The Tax Cut
Leaves Us Cold

Perhaps one good reason why the Kennedy Ad-
ministraton's tax-cut proposals are not meeting
with much enthusiasm is that they put too much
emphasis too high in the income scale.
You can be pretty sure that the total reduction
In the lowest brackets will be reflected 100 per cent
In increased consumption In the middle brackets a
considerable amount of the tax saving will be used
as venture capital, to build the kind of small, ex-
given our economy its dynamic character.
And you can be pretty sure that the tax savings
Of the individual who win be saving taxes in four
or five figures will be invested by professional in
vestment counselors whose first rule Is to play 1t
safe. In other words, the big tax savings in the
Kennedy program would be invested in the blue
chip stocks and bonds Of large American corpora
lions which are now carrying out automation pro-
grams and reducing jobs at frightening pace The
tax cut will give them more funds to speed I'D the
pace.
We believe that the program Is topsy- -turvy
Tax policy, well other government policy, must
be concerned first of all with the great WIDEN
ing economic gap between the most favored and the
necessary to improve the lot of the least favored
IF it does not face up to this the many other social
problems, already grievous, will be aggravated still
We believe that it is almost equally important
to encourage the small industrial and business ven
lures which have always been our real source of
economic growth Such ventures will create Jobs
which is what need. We believe that the Kennedy
emphasis on big tax cuts at the top of the economy
will have the opposite effect.

Believes Sunday Closing
Law Diseriminafes Against
Certain ReIiqioUS GROUPS


Editor: It is incumbent upon
every American, who believes that
fundamental democratic principle
guarantees first class citizenship
to his fellow-Americans of all
faiths, to oppose forthrightly the
Sunday closing bill currently under
consideration by our State Legis-
lature. If passed as presently
drawn, the measure will contravene
this principle, demoting to second
ary status as Americans signific-
ant number of the citizens of our
state.
Down the years, Americans of
all faiths have responded willingly
to this great countrys call - and
many have made the supreme sac
rifice - that the blessings of
freedom and equality be shared
in like measure by all men. Sec
ondary status for even a single
individual constitutes a denial OF
the basic values which inspired the
founding fathers of our great ma
ton.
The proposed legislation, osten-
sibly being sought as a health and
welfare" measure for our citizens,
actually is a weapon employed in
an economic struggle between re-
tailers and discount houses.
If the sponsors Of this bill sin
cerely desire to limit the work
week to six days, then another
more equitable - approach can be
employed. 1t involves the passage
of legislation restricting a business
from operating more than six days
in any one week, with authority
given the proprietor to make the
determination of the day on which
his business will be closed. Neigh
boring Wisconsin, as well as other
states, have passed such a law,
and apparently are finding it
workable.
Some may oppose this approach
on the ground that a majority of
citizens traditionally mark their
day of rest, recreation, relaxation
and togetherness either on Satur-
day or Sunday. But even here,
though somewhat more restrictive,
democratic freedom of choice can
be afforded the businessman in
selecting either Saturday or Sun
day as a closing day. Legislation
can be passed to render it illegal
for a business to remain open on
both of these days consecutively.
The proposed bill denies equality
of treatment, though a feeble ef-

Evorott Lu00am walked out over
the old question Of the number
of on-site inspections. On Febru-
ary 1, the US. resumed under
ground testing.
A study Of the latest points Of
issue Is important In understand
ing the difficulties that exist in
reaching a teSt-ban agreement.
In the final stages Of the nego-
tiations, the Soviet Union had &C
cepted the principle of on-site in
spections but only two or three
year." The us. is still demanding
$40 inspections per year. Neither
side seems to be willing to compro-
mise any further.
The Soviet Union further claims
that the reason why the us.
wishes $40 inspections is because
the US. wishes to spy on the Sow
let Union to pinpoint Soviet mis-
sile sites. This would be in con-
formity with the "counterforce
strategy" accepted by the us.
Counterforce strategy is the
maintenance of a superiority in
nuclear weapons sufficient to des-
troy the enemy's nuclear striking
power, with enough force left over
to hold the enemy's cities hostage
against any retaliation by any of
his delivery systems - such as
submarines - that may have es-
capped destruction. Because several
nuclear weapons must be directed
at each nuclear emplacement of
the opponent, counterforce STRAIT
egy calls for an overwhelming su-
periority. This superiority Secre-
tary of Defense McNamara claims
the us. does have.
Counterforce is by its very ma
ture first-strike strategy. There
is hardly any point in building up
a gigantic capacity to destroy the
enemy's missile sites if we were to
wait until the enemy fires its mis-
siles.
The Soviets therefore argue
that the reason why the Us. de-
sires as many inspections as it
does is because the US. wishes
to pinpOint Soviet missile sites.
This argument is somewhat
weakened however because of
Soviet willingness to grant three
Inspections. Whether 1t actually
would be more difficult to pre-
vent spying If seven inspections
were granted instead Of three Is
debatable.
This argument over inspection
seems to be overrated. The big
danger is not that the Soviets
would test underground but that
they would prepare a series Of
tests above ground, then renounce
the treaty for some reason, and re-
sumo testing in the atmosphere.
Russian fears concerning the us.
are probably similar. Under the
circumstances no agreement is
possible because any agreement
must be based on some trust.
There is another stumbling block
that the us. must consider in ap-
preaching any agreement. Any
agreement with the Soviets must
be ratified by the Senate by a
two-thirds majority. Considering
the attitude within the Senate, it
is doubtful whether they would
ratify any agreement.
It is easy to see what would
happen to us. prestige if the Ad-
ministration made an agreement
with the Soviet Union and this
were turned down by the Senate.
It is of course possible that SIM
liar situation exists within the
military bureaucracy of the Krem-

fort in that direction is undertaken
by its sponsors.
According to the bill, those who
choose Saturday as their day Of
rest and relaxation must file q
statement with the Clerk of Dist
rict Court in their home county
attesting to the closing of their
business on Saturday. This is a
requisite for remaining open on
Sunday. On the other hand, the
proprietor who keeps closed on
Sunday would not be required by
law to file any declaration. AS a
result, the proposed bill discrim-
mates against the Seventh Day
Adventists, the Seventh Day Bap-
fists and the Jews, as it also un-
fairly restricts one whose faith or
inclination would urge the choice
of a day other than Saturday or
Sunday.
Conformity thus is established
as standard in an area relating
to personal freedom, with the con-
comitant imposition of second class
citizenship on those who are forced
to conform only at the price of
hardship and pangs of conscience.
The registration requirement as
a prerequisite to freedom of choice
certainly represents infringement
upon personal liberty. It is incon-
gruous with the standards Of a
free society.
This idea of second class citizen
ship for certain of our citizens was
first adopted in our area when the
Minneapolis City Council passed a
Sunday Closing Ordinance. Under
this Ordinance, the statement of
choice by the Saturday adherents
must be filed with the Police De-
partment. The proponents of legis-
lation such as this would do well
to remember that Nazi Germany
also made minorities register and
wear Identifying symbols. Such
discriminatory provisions have no
place in proposed legislation in a
free country and should prove alb
horrent to every fair thinking
American. - Very sincerely yours,

Criticism of FPC
By Morgan Spurs

Criticism Of the Federal

enchanted retiring commits
sioner has spurred a House
Commerce subcommittee to
hold public hearings.
Representative Harris. Demo-
crat Of Arkansas, chairman Of
the full committee, announced
that hearings will be held Feb
ruary ~ and 20.
He said the groups interest
in the FPC has been height
ened by q recent letter from a
commissioner to the President
containing some rather critical
general remarks about the ad-
ministratlve process. We are
interested in getting a little
deeper into the BACKGROUND
that stimulated the commits
sioner's criticism"
He referred to FPC Member
Howard Morgan. who recently
told the President he did not
want to be reappointed to his
post when his term expires this
summer. He indicated he was
tired Of being the lonely dis
senting member on the side Of
the consumer in FPC decisions.

members of regulatory agencies
bow to conformity" to hold
their jobs.

compensation for the executive
as wages and salaries.
He recommended, therefore,
that the spread be taxed at
normal income rates at the
time the executive exercises his
option to buy the stock. The
tax bite would be cushioned by
provisions for averaging income
In yeats OF high and low earn
ings, and by allowing payment
Of the tax In installments.
The new rules would apply to
stock options granted after last
January "a. the date of the
Presidents tax message to Con-
greSs.
Mr.. Kennedy said stock OPP
tons have some merit now
because tax rates are SO high.
But he said his proposed tax
reductions would make such
special incentives unnecessary
because regular salary raises
would mean more to executives.
Fear Discrimination
At yesterdays hearing on the
tax program, civil service or
CARNATIONS protested that the
Presidents proposals would
discriminate against their re-
tired members.
Spokesman for the organiza-
tons said some retired civil
servants receiving annuities
from contributory pension
plans would pay higher taxes
than they do now. Even those
who would pay lower taxes. the
spokesman said, would receive
smaller tax cuts than persons
retired from private industry
under social security or rail-
road retirement programs.
The Presidents proposals
would reduce taxes on most
persons IS or older by giving
them q $500 credit against
taxes. This flat credit would
replace the extra $500 exemp-
ton now allowed for oldsters
and the retirement income
credit formula.

Il was Eichmann's trial In

President Kennedy's proposal
for taxing stock options comes
under critical scrutiny by the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee today.
Stock options are a kind Of
fringe benefit for corporation
executives. They can provide
extra income subject to low tax
rates. The Presidents proposal
would eliminate this tax break.
Scheduled witnesses at to-
days hearing included repre-
Sentatives Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co.,
the Chrysler Corp. and the B,
F. Goodrich Co.
When executives reach high
income brackets, salary in
creases produce relatively little
added take-home pay, because
tax rates are so high. Some
corporations. therefore, offer
their executives stock options
as an incentive and reward for
meritorious service.
Buys Below Value
Typically, the executive is
offered the opportunity to buy
stock in the corporation at a
specified price below the market
value. II he buys the stock and
holds 1t for at least six months
he may sell 1t and make q
profit on the price spread
without full taxation Of his
profit.
The executives profit Is taxed
at the capital gains rate, which
is half the rate on ordinary
income. UP to q maximum Of
IS per cent. For example, an
executive who would pay q tax
Of 40 per cent on q salary In
crease would pay only 20 per
cent on stock option profits.
Stock options would be even
more lucrative II Congress
enacted another provision of
the Presidents program, which
would reduce the tax on capital
gains to 30 per cent of the nor
NAL rate, to a maximum Of 1875
per cent. But the President also
would require that an asset be
held at least one year. rather
than six months, to qualify for
capital gains treatment.
