dents subsequent statement
was In the nature Of a salute
While the official Treasury
position still is that tax cuts
and tax revision should be con-
sidered together, there has been
increasing evidence that the
administration would sidetrack
revision If necessary to get a
tax cut enacted. Mr.. Kennedy
himself has said nothing should
stand in the way Of rate cuts
this year.
The President acknowledged
in his statement that the buSi-
nessmen we're not wholly in
accord with his proposals. New
ertheless, he said, their action
indicates a substantial area of
commonly held views which is
far more significant than the
area of difference"
In one point Of difference
with the administration, the
committee advocated that a
proposal for a 5 per cent floor
on itemized deductions be set
aside.
There is a difference in en-
phasis. too, in that the ad-
ministration favors a three
year plan Of reduction, while
the businessmen want the ma
jor slice to take effect as early
as possible.
On rate cutting, the busi-
neSsmen and the administra-
ton generally agree.
The business group called
for lowering the corporate in
come tax rate from So per
cent to at least a per cent.
1t said individual rates-which
now range from 20 to 81 per
cent should be lowered too,
Evening star., 1963-04-26

in the closing days Of the ses-
sion. after the House has taken
a longer time to reach its de-
cision. Senator Gore said he
made 1t clear in signing the
appeal that 1t was no indica-
tion Of what his position on
the bill may be.
Dirksen Agrees
Others who are understood to
have joined in the request for
early hearings are Senators
Anderson. Democrat Of New
Mexico; Douglas, Democrat Of
Illinois, and Hartke, Democrat
Of Indiana. All are members
Of the Finance Committee.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen told reporters he
agrees with Chairman Byrd
that nothing would be gained
by having Senate hearings be-
fore a tax bill has been drafted
in the House.
The main reason why tax
payers seek to testify at the
Senate hearings is that the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee nearly always holds its
hearings without having an
actual tax bill before 1t.
The House committee has
completed its hearings and is
now celebrating on the kind
of a bill 1t will report to the
House.
Evening star., 1963-04-26

but made no specific recon-
rnendation as to how much.
As for spending, the busi-
neSsmen said they advocate
rigid expenditure discipline, "
adding:
1T is merely common sense
to recognize that the lower tax
rates can be permanently
maintained only II a reason
able balance between Federal
income and expenditures be
brought about at an early
date"
The group did not give a dol
lars and cents recommendation
on budget reduction.
Five Executives Elected
At yesterdays organizing ses-
sion, the 36 executives elected
five of their number as the
nucleus Of an executive COM
mittee. Beside Mr.. Ford. they
are:
Mark w. Cresap, jr., president
OF Westinghouse Electric Corp. !;
Sam Fleming, president of the
Third National Bank Of Nash
Vile and former president Of
the American Banks Associa-
ton; Stuart T. Saunders. Presi-
dent of the Norfolk a. Western
Railway. and Frazar B. Wilde,
chairman of the Connecticut
General Life Insurance Co.
Evening star., 1963-04-26

nothing would be gained by
taking testimony in the Senate
while the House is still drafting
the bill.
Senator Byrd has taken the
position that any witnesses
called in now could only discuss
the Presidents recommenda- =
tions and would still want to
be heard again after they see
how the House acts on those
recommendations.
House Vote in June
The House is not expected TO
pass the bill until June, and
Senator Byrd has estimated it
would be close to Labor Day
before his committee could
complete its hearings and get
the bill to the Senate.
Senator Byrd explained TO-

Star Staff Writer

The House Ways and Means
Committee today postponed
until next Wednesday action
on raising the Federal debt
ceiling.
The committee asked the
Treasury to provide more de-
tailed figures projecting tie
debt.
Indications we're that the
committee wants TO draft the
legislation in a way that will
keep the ceiling tight, without
raising the danger Of the Gov
ernment running into real fl
nancisl difficulties.
Decline in Ceiling
The ceiling on the debt de-
clined from $208 billion to $S05
billion April /, and is sched-
uled to drop to $500 billion
June IS and $2s5 billion July 1.
President Kennedy had asked
Congress to keep the ceiling at
$308 billion through June 30.
He had said he would request
a further increase for the .is-
cal year starting July /.
Treasury Secretary Dillon
has said the administration
probably will request q ceiling
Of about 1920 billion for the
new fiscal year.
Congressional economizers
thwarted the administrations
hopes for action to raise the
debt ceiling in March. The
debt was $3O3.5 billion-only
Evening star., 1963-04-26

yesterday as they launched a
drive to whip up interest in tax
reduction.
Among the major recommen-
dations of the group, called the
Business Committee for Tax
Reduction in 1868, are that
Congress make "a substantial
part" of the reduction effective
as early as possible this year
and that "a reasonable bal
ance" be struck between Fed
eral income and expenditures.
The plan the President has
presented to Congress - a
three-year $13.6 billion cut to be
partly offset by $3.4 billion
OF revenue-raising changes in
the tax structure-was not in
dorSed as such.
Cool to RevisiOns
n fact. the businessmen who
met yesterday with Mr.. Ken
nedy at the White House sug-
gested specifically that consid-
Grafton Of revisions should be
removed from the path Of tax
reduction lest cuts in rates be
snarled in debate. Personally,
don't agree with the proposed
reforms" auto executive Ford
told a news conference.
Still. the new group is op-
Grating with the active support
of the White House and the
Treasury Department in the
push for congressional approval
Of a tax cut and is trying to
rally as much support in the
business community as possible
Secretary Of the Treasury
Dillon and other administra-
ton officials addressed the
group yesterday. The Presi-
