Highway Deaths
Rise Slowly for
Holiday Period
BY the Associated Press

Traffic fatalities continued
to mount slowly today in the
final hours of the four-day
New Year holiday period.
Deaths from traffic accidents
were occurring at a pace that
held out the possibility that a
record low might be set if the
current trend continues to the
end of the 102-hour period at
midnight tonight.
The count of traffic victims
stood at 271. Fires accounted
for 70 deaths. and 101 persons
died as the result of miscel-
laneous accidents, for an over
all toll of 444.
The lower than expected
pace Of traffic deaths caused
the National Safety Council to
revise downward its preh0liday
estimate of the number Of per-
sons VINO might die in traffic
accidents during the long holi-
day week end.
Before the start Of the holi-
day at 6 Pm. local time) Fri
day the council had estimated
the toll would range from 420
to 480. But yesterday, after
analyzing the number of deaths
during the first three days OF
the holiday. the council revised
its estimate to $50 to $50.
The record low traffic toll for
a four day New Year holiday
was 375 during the 195l-l952

Tax Cut Plan
Now Would Drop
RetrouctiVity ldeu
BY LEE Nj. COHN
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy has
slowed down the timetable for
tax cuts, high administration
officials said today.
They said the President has
dropped the idea of retroactive
refunds Of taxes paid early in
1868, before Congress COM
pletes action on the tax pro-
gram.
Instead, these sources indi-
Gated, the President will pro-
pose reduced tax withholding
and quarterly payments start
ing after the rate cuts are en-
acted. Taxes paid earlier in the
year will stay paid.
April l is the earliest con-
ceivable date for final con-
greSsional action on the tax
bill. However. the President
would be lucky to push the
legislation through Congress by
early summer.
That means the rate reduc-
tions probably will apply to no
more than half the 1868 IN
come Of individual and corpo-
rate taxpayers. 1t is quite
possible that the cash payoff to
taxpayers will be delayed until
1864 If Congress does not act
at top speed.
