West Slated For
Phone Number
Change Sept. 18Th

Telephone numbers in West
will have a new look next
September 18th.
That is the date when West
will receive the latest sys-
tenn of telephone numbers =
seven numerals = the frs
three being 967 followed by
a four digit number.
It's all part of a nationwide
numbering system said E. B..
GOA, Southern Bell mana
ger.
The telephone numbers on
all telephone subscribers will
be changed and each sub
scriber will have three diglts
of 967 followed by a new
four digit telephone number.
This is necessary for two
reasons. First the new num-
boring system will make pos
sible many more number
combinations and this is i'm
portant for future growth.
Also. the seven digit system
is necessary for West to par
ticipate eventually in the ma
tionwide direct distance dial
ing network which will al
low telephone users to dial
their own long distance calls.
Mr.. GOA said a new tele-
phone directory will be is
sued before the number
change.
"While the number chang
es will not be made until
September Is, Mr.. GOA said,
1--WE want our customers to
know about this well in ad-
vance to prevent livestock
ing on letterheads, advertis-
ing materials, and similar
items which carry present
telephone numbers"

YOUR MONEYS WORTH
Will Large Deficit
Avoid Huge One?
BY SYLVIA PORTER

, reduction. The last significant
tax cut we got was in 1854.
| The reason has been q COM
bination Of rising spending and
the slow growth of the econ
omy since the end Of the post
war boom and the start Of the
next boom when the warborn
babies begin marrying. (This
assumes that the economy will
then be in shape to give the
youngsters Jobs so that they
can afford to get married and
spend)
In the good-tAme years Of
this period, the economy hasn't
been strong enough to create
sufficient paycheck and prof.
its to provide the taxes to cover
the spending budget. In recess
sion years, paychecks and prof.
its surely haven't been big
enough to provide the needed
taxes.
Deficits Developed
So the deficits have devel-
oped year after year "pas-
sively." Our slow rate of growth
has resulted in chronic deficits.
This is what Mr.. Kennedy
meant when in his major tax
policy address at the ABA
symposium, he emphasized
Chronic deficits produced by
a tagging economy" This is
what he was talking about
when in answer to a question,
he said, "Our budget would be
in good condition If our econ
omy grew as fast as it ought
to-"
Now Mr.. Kennedy is fore
casting a multi-billion dollar
deficit without tax reduction
and urging tax reductions
which easily could push the
deficit in 1864 to a new record.
What's the reasoningp The
reasoning is that our punitive
tax structure has been the
cause of our sluggish growth
and, unless we speed our
growth, Wen be running huge
passive" deficits year after
year. So? So the reasoning is
we should reduce taxes and risk
a big transitional" deficit on
the basis that the tax cuts will
spur business and consumer
spending, create more pay
checks and profits. Thus pro-
duce more taxes and eventually
balance the budget.
Or better still, to decorate
the professors wisecrack, the
way to avoid a huge chronic"
deficit is to plan a large "stim-
ulating" one.

Steel Upswing
Is Fastest in

| CLEVELAND (AP). - With

day.
Scurrying TO keep pace with
the fastest market upswing in
over a year, producers once

the Woodworking weekly said.
There's no runaway-no real
boom-"The publication con-
tinued," but enough accelera-
ton to convince even skeptics
that they should boost their
forecasts and relight idle fur
naces ahead Of schedule"
Although some users have
increased their inventories
lately, few have done 1t for
strike hedge purposes" the
magazine said. THE heavy
stockpiling will start next
month.
THE contrast between this
years buildup and the one a
year ago is noteworthy. In
January, 1862, mill shipments
of 60 million tons exceeded
consumption by about 900, 900
tons and made a substantial adj
dition to user inventories. In
January Of this year, mill ship
ments of ST. million tons fell
about 100000 tons short of es-
timated consumption"
Sluggish demand for scrap
has finally forced scrap prices
down after holding steady

said. Steel's composite on the

1.-THE way to avoid a hug
deficit is to have a large one.
This ironic comment wa
made off-the-cuff by a univer'
sity professor at the American
Bankers Associations symposi'
UNI on economic growth re-
Gently. / looked around to SCI
the reaction Of the FREEDOM
Iinently conservative group Of
800 industrialists, bankers eco
nomists etc.
1t ranged from a look Of dis
gust on the face of the presi-
dent of a big corporation to q
sardonic grin on the face of
the president of one Of a led
ing bank.
The fact is, that this acid
sentence dramatizes the philos-
ophy underlying the White
Houses drive for substantial tax
reduction in a year in which
President Kennedy is projecting
an all-time record budget Of al
most 500 billion and forecast
ing a near-record peacetime
deficit of $11.9 billion. Actually,
it's a deadly serious wisecrack.
Explanations Difficult
Mr.. Kennedy is having a
dreadful time trying to spell out
his tax deficit philosophy in
words that would persuade Con-
gress his argument is valid. His
advisers are becoming increas-
ingly frustrated as they attempt
to explain to the Country that
there's a difference between a
passive" deficit resulting from
a sluggish economy and thus a
disappointing tax take and a
stimulating" deficit resulting
from efforts to speed UP the
economy and thus boost the tax
take.
Nevertheless, since the wise
crack does capsulize the Ken
needy Administrators present
economic philosophy, here's my
to explain it.
In five of the past six fis-
cal years-including the final
four of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration and the first full
of the Kennedy administration
the budget deficits add up to
$34.3 billion. Only in 1860 was
there a surplus, and then it
was only $1.2 billion.
The reason for the deficits
hasn't been just skyrocketing
government spending, although
spending has risen, Of course.
From fiscal 1858 through this
1868 year ending July l, the
rise in Federal spending has
been 1929 billion, well below
the cumulative gross or net
deficits of the six years.
The reason hasn't been tax
