The Government collected a
record 1894 billion in taxes
during the 1862 fiscal year
which ended June 30. the Inter-
nal Revenue Service reported
yesterday.
In its Tooth annual report,
issued after President Kennedy
proposed a $l3.5 billion tax-cut
program. IRIS Commissioner
Mortimer M. Caplin said col

sources of revenue.
Not all the money went

The 1894 billion presented

rose $4 billion to $7l.9 billion
Employment taxes went up
5000 million to $12.7 billion
Estate and gift taxes increased
$l00 million to 50 billion. Ex-

Using both new and old pro-

By T eIstur Pickup

NEW YORK, Jan. Is (AP)
= Television viewers in the
United States were able to
watch the opening of the East
German Communist Party Con-
gres today through a pickup
by Telstar, the first communi-
cations satellite.
The three major networks,
ABC, NBC, CHS, taped the pro-
gram when Telstar made its
pass between 5:48 am. and
6:03 am. today.
There was no sound with the
pictures which showed Russian
Premier Khrushchev being
greeted as he entered the hall
and the East German Commu-
mist Leader Walter Ulbricht's
speech opening the Congress.
The proceedings were trans
mitted to West Germany on
intervision lines, taped and edi-
ted into a l5-minute report and
then transmitted to the United
States via Telstar. The net
works showed only part of the
is = minute program and
planned to repeat it through
out the day.
(Stations in Washington said
the proceedings would be used
on regularly scheduled news
programs.).

end of the quarter in which the
income was earned.
The President did not count
this SIS billion in his $3.5 bill
lion total of requested re-
forms. The latter proposals
might include:
Scaling down the depletion
allowances, under which a per-
centage Of income from nat
ural resources may be excluded
from taxation. The allow
ance ranges from 27l2 per cent
for oil down to 5 per cent for
clay.
Members of Congress have
heard that Mr.. Kennedy wants
the oil allowance cut to 22h
per cent. Oil-State legislators,
a powerful bloc, have pro-
claimed they will give battle,
and they usually win their bat
ties.
Repeating outright the ex-
clusion and tax credit on divi-
dends received on the taxpay-
er's holdings of corporation
stocks. The Treasury tried
vainly for this in 1861; it then
estimated the move would have
recaptured $3.50 million in
revenue.
Tightening the capital gains
provisions, under which the
gain from the sale of any as
set from a share of stock to
an office building is taxed at
no more than 25 per cent.

propose reduction of the cor
poration tax rate from So to A
per cent, reduction Of the top
bracket individual rate from 81
to IS per cent and reduction
of the bottom bracket in
dividual rate from 20 to IA per
cent.
These reductions will be put
into effect gradually, officials
emphasized.
In the bottom bracket, in
dividuals now are taxed 20 per
cent on the first $4,000 of in
come. For married couples fill
ing joint returns. the 20 per
cent rate applies to the first
$4,000 Of taxable income.
The President will propose tc
tax the first $1,000 Of income
for single individuals and the
first $4,000 for married couples
at IA per cent. The second
81 900 for single persons and
the second $4,000 for married
couples would be taxed at a
rate below 20 per cent and
above IA per cent.
Mr.. Kennedy's program calls
for rate reductions probably
between 3 and 5 percentage
points for all brackets be-
tween the bottom and top of
the income scale.
Some Of the tax reforms will
give certain categories Of tax
payers a break, but most Of the
proposals will aim at raising
revenues.
The President is expected tc
propose that earnings from
stock options be treated as or
dinary income rather than as
capital gains. Capital gains are
taxed at half the ordinary rate
up to a maximum OF rs per
cent.
Mr.. Kennedy also is expected
TO propose stricter rules for
qualifying income as capital
gains, including a requirement
that assets must be held longer
to escape ordinary tax rates
Assets held six months now
qualify for capital gains treat
ment.
Other leading possibilities In
the area Of tax reform include
proposals TO eliminate the $50
credit and 4 per cent exclusion
for dividend income. tighten tax
rules for depreciable real es-
tate, reduce the 27.5 per cent
depletion allowance for oil anc
gas producers and establish
lower limits for some income
deductions.

Medicare Plan
To Be Pushed,
Speaker Says

House Speaker Mccormack
emphasized today that Pres
ident Kennedy still strongly
favors action by Congress to
provide for financing medical
care for the aged through social
security taxes.
Mr.. Mccormack, talking with
reporters after a breakfast con-
ference Of Democratic congress
sional leaders with the Pres
ident at the White House, was
asked If Mr.. Kennedy's brief
mention of medicare in his
state-of-the- Union m ssage
yesterday indicated that the ad-
ministration was not going to
try to get the program through
Congress this year.
He replied that the brevity of
the Presidents remarks about
medicare did not indicate any
lack of interest. you have got
to consider" he said, that the
President has expressed him
self strongly over the past two
years"
In his message, Mr.. Kennedy
had only this to say about medi-
care: Our working men and
women-instead Of being forced
to beg for help from public
charity once they are old and
ill-should start contributing
now to their own retirement
health program through the
social security system"
While he considers favorable
action by Congress this year
on medicare desireable, the
President is known to feel that
it is not as urgent as legislation
to cut taxes.
Mr.. Mccormack said he had
no indication from Chairman
Mills of the House Ways and
Means Committee as to when
that committee might consider
medicare legislation. The COM
mittee plans to give first con-
sideration to the Presidents
tax cut proposals, which proba-
bly, will keep 1t busy for months.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield said he would not
anticipate any effort for the
Senate to originate a medicare
bill as it did last year when
the program was defeated. Nor
mally any legislation involving
social security taxes would orig
mate in the House and Senator
Mansfield said he would expect
that practice to be followed this
year.

The state OF the Union, the
President reported, is good. 1t
is hardly a patch on his own.
Two years ago, he stood in
the same chamber and deliv-
cred q speech that was full of
toreboding. He bleakly spoke
Of "the harsh enormity of the
trials" we faced, of the hour
OF maximum danger"
{. Yesterday, in contrast, his
mood was positively exhilarated.
His delivery of the speech, to
borrow one of its phrases, was
consistently urgent" But its
content. save in regard to taxes,
was not.
A New Phase
He was, it seems, ushering in
a new phase of the New From
tier. No echo of the stern ad-
nlonition of his inaugural was
In the air: ASK not what your
country can do for you-ask
what you can do for your
country"
Having observed a steady
improvement in the opportuni-
ties and well-being of our citi-
Gems" and thanking God for
seeing us through a perilous
passage" the President told the
. people what the country could
, for them. 1t would cut their
taxes.
The President insured maxi
''lum attention for his tax pro-
"'sal by devoting so much
me to 1t. He also insured
maximum attention to himself
ty having withheld from most
members advance mimeo-
graphed copies Of his speech.

dent, speaking Of Federal
spending, said. I'VE will do
what must be done. For our

shopping list. President Ken
nedy asked for the Immediately
obtainable.
And he wasted no time in
deploring or exploring the ex-
istence Of great problems. He
took no notice. for instance,
of labor management relations.
He took small corners of
problems and suggested solu-
tions.
He did not mention aid to ed
fucation, but the Importance of
retrieving dropouts; he did not
speak of civil rights, only of
the need to insure the right to
vote; not Of a Department of
Urban Affairs, but of one urban
problem. mass transportation.
Some Family PreoccupatiOns
Family preoccupations were
reflected in some details: He
twice mentioned the Peace
Corps. which is in the charge of
his brother-in-law, Sargent
Shriver; of mental retardation
measures. which preoccupy his
sister Eunice, or the right to
counsel, which falls in the field
of his brother Robert, the At
torney General.
The President, with the heat
off momentarily in the world
situation, feels he is free to
pursue modest goals at home.
The members and guests who
filled the great chamber prob
ably took away much more an
impression of the speaker than
the speech, which seems to be
what the President had in
mind.

Brace yourself for a shock
when President Kennedy spells
out to Congress this month
the $3.5 billion worth of "re-
forms" he wants tied to taS
reduction.
The loopholes he would close
may be your own.
They may range from the
stock options given to corpor-
alton heads right on down tC
the common income tax deduc.
tions long available to every
middle-income householder.
At least a score or proposals
to broaden the tax base" -
meaning, to make more income
subject to taX-and curtailS OF
erase unfair or unnecessary
preferences" have been under
study at the Treasury since Mr.
Kennedy took office.
Just which ones the Presi.
dent will request, to offset ir
part the revenues that woulc
be lost by his three-year plar
to reduce taxes by $l3.5 billion
remain a Treasury secret. Mr.
Kennedy gave no hints in his
state Of the Union message tC
Congress yesterday.
LESS Pain" Likely
In any event, tax specialists
at the Capitol predict that Con-
gress won't give all, or ever
nearly all, that Mr.. Kennedy
wants. 1t would be much cas-
ier politically to give less tax
cut and less reform. they point
out, thus arriving at the same
deficit with less pain.
Least popular politically
among the proposals known tc
be under study would be elimi-
nation of income tax deduc-
tions most families have come
to consider a matter of justice
and right. Nevertheless, Mr.
Kennedy may request the
pruning of some of these;
/. Deductions for medical
outlays and casualty losses.
2. Deductions for sales and
excise taxes paid to State and
city governments.
8. Deductions for interest on
mortgage payments.
4. The privilege enjoyed by
married couples of filing joint
returns which split their in
come and reduce their total tax
Single persons may pay more
on the same income.
Administration officials are
said to look with considerably
less favor on cutting the first
three than the fourth item
named, but insist that the fl
nal decisions remain to be
made.
Old Reform Goals
Mr.. Kennedy's targets are
very likely. however, to include
some other tax provisions al
which reform advocates have
been shooting for years-the
capital gains rate, depletion al
lowances, stock options, tax
exemption for State and mu-
