President Kennedy h a S
handed the taxpayers, as
well as the Congress, a plan
for tax reduction and tax re-
form - or revision - which
seems to give with one hand
and take away with the 9TH
er. This depends largely in
which bracket the taxpayer
happens to be. Clearly, how
ever, from the explanations
so far given by the White
House and the Treasury De-
partmeht, those who will
benefit most are those in the
lower income tax brackets
and, to a degree, those in
the highest, leaving it a gam
BILE for the great body of tax
payers in the middle.
Many members Of Con-
gress - some of its leaders
- want to take a look-see
before they announce a defi-
mite position on the admin
istration's fiscal plans -
both the taxing and spend
ing plans. For the record,
the administration leaders on
Capitol Hill are extolling the
Kennedy tax plan. And those
members of Congress who
consider 1t a great gamble,
and who believe the admin
istration should cut expendi-
lures If it is to cut taxes,
have no good words.
The President has urged
speedy action on both his
proposals for tax reduction
and tax reform. He regards
both as essential. He may
have to settle, however, for
the reductions and for only
a few of the proposed re-
forms. His goal, and pre-
sumably that of members Of
Congress who wish tax re-
ductions, is the enactment of
a tax law by July l. Work on
the measure will begin with
hearings by the Ways and
Means Committee Of the
House, opening February 6
with Secretary of the Treas,
ury Douglas Dillon as the
first witness. Then a recess
until February 18, when the
committee will get to work
on the bill and stay with it.
Many Views on Issue
The situation regarding
tax legislation, however,
seems today as wide open
as a 40-acre field. Already,
members of Congress and
interested groups from out
side, are preparing to urge
the committee to go beyond
the proposals of the Ken
nedy administration. There
are those who wish to cut or
abandon some of the excise
taxes (Which in reality are
sales taxes) now imposed by
the Federal Government.
There are others who will de-
mand greater personal ex-
emptions for the individual
and for his or her depend
entS.
On the Senate side, Chair
man Of the Finance Commit
tee Harry F. Byrd Of Vir-
ginia does not intend to be-
gin hearings on the tax
measure until a bill has been
passed by the House, where
1t must originate. His point
is that until the House has

A Tangled Tax Situation

acted. the Senate committee
really has nothing to work
on; that testimony before
the Senate Committee might
have no relation to the meas
ure as worked out in the
House. Not during the 80
years he has served in the
Senate, under Democratic or
Republican control, has any
other course been followed
by the Finance Committee.
II the bill does not reach
the Senate until June /, as
may be the case, final action
sending the bill to the White
House may be delayed a long
time, even until the second
session Of the 88th Congress,
an election year. A tax reduc-
ton then might help Presi-
dent Kennedy at the polls.
But a delay in the reduction
Of taxes - intended to spur
the economy of the country
- might be so late as to de-
feat its purpose.
For Cuts in Spending
Senator Byrd is a bitter
critic Of tax reduction with
out real reduction Of Gov
ernment spending. He has
commented that nothing
could please me more than
responsible tax reductions"
for taxes are excessive. But"
he said, excessive expendi-
lures are the only reason for
excessive taxes" President
Kennedy's 1888 billion bud
get does not impress Senator
Byrd as any real attempt on
the administrators part to
hold down expenditures.
The Virginia Senator also
is seriously exercised over the
imbalance Of payments be-
tween the United States and
foreign nations. United
States gold reserves have
been reduced from $24 bill
lion, about rs per cent Of
the worlds holdings, to 81
billion in free gold and $l2
billion backing our currency.
Foreign nations may demand
payments under existing law
in gold or dollars. Because
Of our tremendous expendi-
lures abroad, depletion of our
gold resources has become a
serious question. There are
great outlays for our armed
forces and their dependents
abroad, and by American
tourists. Some of our manu-
facturers have great invest.
ments in branch plants
abroad.
All Of which adds to the
danger to the value of the
dollar. In Senator Byrd's
opinion, the planned billion
dollar deficits announced by
the President to be incurred
by our own Government may
greatly lower the value of the
dollar and en6anger the
country's econon 8.
The administrations whole
fiscal program, in the opin-
ion of Chairman Byrd, is a
gamble - a gamble without
parallel in the past here or
in any responsible govern
ment abroad. Nevertheless,
the pressure for tax reduc-
ton now is very great, from
many sources. and President
Kennedy may get much Of
what he has asked.

Early this spring q two
ship reconnaissance will be
carried out in the area be-
tween the Seychelles Islands
and the Coast Of Kenya in
Africa. 1t is hoped to deter
mine whether the ocean floor
in this area is typical of
other deep ocean areas or
whether 1t represents a down.
warping of the African con-
tinental boundary.
Throughout the voyages
special attention will be
given to Arabian Sea biology
to determine whether It Is
similar to other oceanic
areas.
Descriptive Survey
This biological work." says
the report, will be done in
conjunction with the physical
work and will consist mainly
of a descriptive survey, to a
depth Of 500 meters, of the
biological structure Of the
equatorial current system.
There will also be a brief
survey of the south Arabian
coastal up-welling region.
This survey should provide
unique opportunity for de-
tailed cooperation between
the physical and biological
programs and will be aimed
at using the most recent
methods Of obtaining as COM
prehensive a picture as pos
sible of the geology OF the
region.
"A survey also will be made
Of the birds In the Arabian
Sea and Of their inter-rela-
tionships with marine plants
and animals.
THE United Kingdom will
make two general surveys OF
the Arabian Sea and these
will be complete biologically
as well as in their physical
and chemical aspects. There
will be extensive collections
Of biological material. Special
attention will be given to the
micro organisms OF the areas
covered. The nature OF these
vary considerably between a
sea and an ocean. The same
is true Of surface living ami
mails such as turtles, sea
snakes and squid."
A special study Is planned
Of the South Arabian coast
with detailed attention 10 the
water movements, water
chemistry, organic produce
tion and the SUGGESTIONS OF
plant and animal popula-
tions.

OIe Miss on TriuF

Congratulations to Cecil
Holland for his first-class re-
porting of "Ole Miss on Trial.
It's the best thing I've seen
yet on the tragedy at Ok
ford.
AS a recon structe d"
Southerner I agree with Mr..
Hollands implications: The
real tragedy is not the fact
that a way of life-sacred or
otherwise-is being threat
ened. The old order inevita-
bly, changes and yields place
to the new. The real tragedy
is that a tight knot of hate
on the part of a relative few
is gradually strangling the
humanism of the university,
as it would that of any CEN
ter Of learning. There has
been a complete moral
breakdown on the issue"
Quoting the Episcopal chap
lain on the campus) and peo-
pie have stopped communi-
eating with each other.
Mr.. Holland wrote Of one
now disillusioned professor
who after years of trying to
impart something of the toll
Grant light of learning now
wonders whether he hasn't
been wasting his time all
all along. The hate of the
young is hard to fathom and
hard to find an antidote
against. No wonder the fac
ulty is being decimated.
Do any of the zealots of
the citizens councils ever
have any occasional pricks of
conscience over what they are
doing to the inner life of Ole
Miss? Or what they are do
ing to the young minds on
campus who emulate them2
The answers to these ques-
tons are perhaps the meas
ure Of the special tragedy
that has befallen this ira
ditional seat of Deep South
learning. C. MurchiSOn.
Reference is made to your
front page article by Cecil
Holland, titled, "Ole Miss on
Trial"
The real issue on trial at
Ole Miss is the freedom Of
choice Of the individual,
meaning all individuals.
That "Ole Miss Is on
Trial" We agree; but GER
tainly 1t is not to determine
whether a Negro shall have
an education, because Mere
dith can get the education he
says he wants at any one Of
hundreds of universities. 1t
cannot be on the question
whether a Negro in Missis-
sippi can get an education in
Mississippi, for two reasons,
viz: (a) The education Mere
dith says he wants either is
available or could be made
available to him In other
schools in Mississippi; and
(b) Meredith did not go
from any place in Mississippi
TO ole Miss but instead, he
was flown in from elsewhere
by the Army. Nor can the ole
MISS Jrlal De on the SOUND
economic question whether
Meredith can be educated at
less expense in Ole Miss than
elsewhere, because far more
Of the American taxpayers
money has been spent on this
trial" than would have been
required to build. equip. staff
and maintain a completely
private university for one
Negro by the name Of James
Meredith.
The most fundamental
questions being decided in
the ole Miss trial involved
the freedoms OF the individ-
uals as guaranteed by the
Constitution Of the United
States.

The world may have six
oceans.
The sixth, hitherto unrec-
ognized as such, might be the
great Arabian Sea, including
the Red Sea and the Persian
Gulf, which generally h as
been regarded as the north
west sector of the Indian
Ocean. There is accumulat-
ing evidence. however, that it
really is a quite distinct body
Of water of oceanic propor-
tions.
This great water area will
be explored intensively by
British oceanographers dur
ing the International Indian
Ocean Survey planned for
this year. This area has been
selected as Britain's particu-
lar part in the enterprise,
according to the British Roy
al Society.
"The principal aim" says
the report, "is to establish
the crustal structure Of the
Arabian Sea and to deter
mine its relation to the sur
rounding continental land
masses. Is the sea a typical
ocean and is it possible from
the geophysical studies to say
whether it is younger than
the other oceans2 Long range
seismic refraction profiles
should enable the structure
to be resolved and the true
continental boundaries TO be
established.
Magnetic Anomaly
Many geologists now be-
lieve that the true continent
tai margin in the West In
dian ocean lies to the east
OF Madagascar. although
oceanic depths of more than
1000 fatholns lie within this
area. GRANTEES and syenites
form a large part Of the Sey-
chelles group OF islands and
are exceptional for oceanic
islands. An extensive study OF
these rocks and Of their rela-
ton with their environment
should prove to be Of great
interest.
Studies OF sea mounts in
the eastern North Atlantic
have shown that some are
characterized by a magnetic
anomaly while others are not.
Similar studies will be made
OF sea mounts in the Ara
bian sea. Detailed examina-
tions will also be made OF the
small abyssal hills found in
the deep basins where II is
possible that the rocks are
more representative Of the
true oceanic basement.
"The Arabian Sea base
ment is characterized by
abyssal plains. The sediments
forming these plains are
probably derived from the
