Tax Cut Plan
JAW Chief Wants
$l.50- Per-Week
Reduction for All
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy's tax pro-
gram has run into fresh cross
fire OF criticism from a labor
leader, the National Association
of Manufacturers and top
House Republican.
Walter Reuther, United Auto
Workers president and ALL
CLIO vice president, proposed |
his own $3.50 per week tax-cut
program in a news conference
yesterday. He said Mr.. Ken
nedy's medicine is not strong
enough and his doses are too
little and too late"
Representative Arends of |
Illinois, House Republican
whip, said in a statement that
opposition to the Presidents
program lis not to a tax cut
but to a tax cut without a |
reduction in Government
spending"
Mr.. Reuther said he believes
Mr.. Kennedy wants an i'm
mediate increase in buying
power but is being "unduly |
influenced by the negative at
titude of Congress"
Offers Simple Plan
Instead of the three-year
program with a net tax reduc-
ton of $10.2 billion which Mr..
Kennedy proposed, Mr.. Reuth-
er offered one which he said
could be written on the back
of postcard" and enacted in
five minutes without changing
the present rate structure.
1t calls simply for a $1.50I
a week cut in taxes for each
taxpayer. He said it would am
mount to $40 billion within a !
year.
In the absence of a stable
and early tax reduction" Mr..
Reuther said. I'VE can slide into
another recession for there
are already disturbing signs
that the steam is running out
of the forces of recovery"
More Aid for Corporations
The National Association of
Manufacturers called mean

middle and upper incomes, and

dent Kennedy has proposed.
This is similar to the position
taken earlier by the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
The NAM said in a state
mint the Kennedy tax program
would give greater reductions
to lower brackets than middle
and higher brackets, thus in
tensifying what it termed the
murderously steep progression
of present tax rates.

Juvenile Beats
Transit Driver
40 Bourd Bus
Near MIDNIGHT

A 5l-year-old d. c. Transit
System bus driver was beaten
last night by one OF q group Of
about 40 juveniles who boarded
his vehicle. apparently on their
way home from q party.
William A. Miller of 5905
Landover road, Cheverly, Md,
bus driver for 20 years, said
he stopped near First and ALI
son streets NE, just before
midnight to let on the group of
young Negroes.
He said one of them refused
to pay and the rest of them,
mostly teen-agers, wrestled and
yelled in the seating area. AS he
tried to quiet the riders, Mr..
Miller said one boy slugged him
in the forehead with his fist.
Renewed Attack
The youth, Mr.. Miller told
police, tried to snatch the
change carrier but was unable
to break 1t loose from a chain.
The youth then got out the
back door. ran up the front
and renewed the attack, strik-
ing the driver again in the face
and making another attempt TO
seize the change carrier.
All this time, the driver said,
some one was standing on the
rear door treadle and he was
unable to move his bus or close
the doors. However. the We
hicle started drifting back
wards, he said, this apparently
prompted most Of the crowd to
flee from the bus. Only six of
them remained, Mr.. Miller said.
Similar Case
The incident recalled a
parallel case last March II
when a d. c. Transit driver,
Page M. Powell. was beaten by
six youths and robbed OF more
than $50 as about 80 other
passengers sat and watched.
The other passengers made no
offer to help Mr.. Powell when
the gang attacked him at Elev-
enth and U streets NV. He
was left bloody and dazed.
The passengers also refused 10
give their names as witnesses.
Subsequently, three l9-year-
old youths were convicted In
Municipal Court Of aSsaulting
Mr.. Powell. One OF them re-
ceived a l80-day jail sentence,
but the other two had their
jail sentences suspended by

who placed them on proba-

clared. he asked a man TO call

Miller handed the man a dime
and asked him TO 20 TO any

The driver said the man re-
fused on the ground that he
was afraid TO get off.
Mr.. Miller said he then drove

himself.
Policemen from the robbery
