Kennedy Policies Hurt Economy

facts. however, prove how
short-sighted such a view
can be.
For over the week end
Clyde Davis, president of the
Chicago Livestock Exchange,
made a speech in Chicago
declaring that cattle prices
have suffered their worst
setback In years. He said q
wide combination Of develop
ments has hit the cattle and
beef market almost simulta-
neously in the last three
months. The dock strike
hurt, too. Foreign beef came
in last year at a record
breaking pace. Finally tax
rulings curbed business din
ners and entertainment ex-
penses in business, which in
turn caused a cut In the buy
ing Of top beef by some Of
the higher-priced restaurants
and hotels. 1t was the straw
that broke the cattle markets
back. Mr.. Davis said:
THE tax ruling on ex-
pense accounts makes it more
difficult to wine and dine
customers. This Develop
ment is becoming q more
important factor in the de-
pressed beef markets"
Certainly cheating on ex-
pense accounts is reprehen-
Sible, but the Government
ought surely to be able to
catch UP with fraud without
penalizing innocent citizens
and injuring the cattle BUSH
ness, the hotel business, the
restaurant business, and re-
lated trades and industries.
This Is but one illustration.
Already churches, colleges,
and other charitable institu-
tons are worried about con-
tributions because Of the S
per cent floor on individual
tax deductions. Far from
stimulating consumer spend
ing, the administrations
program may cause the citi-
zen to stop some Of his spend
ing.
To keep the people I'M
certain about tax rates and
reforms" proposals, the
quicker the new recession
will end. There Is time
enough in periods Of pros
perity to make reforms"
What is Immediately urgent
is to stop the new recession
in its tracks.

position is not like that Of
a noted predecessor, John
Foster Dulles. much criticized
by some who now criticize
Mr.. Rusk but for the differ
ing reason that Mr.. Dulles
controlled too much whereas
Mr.. Rusk controls too little.
Some say that Mr.. Ken
needy would be pleased to
have a Secretary Of State
who would bear more public
responsibility. But those who
work with the President say
that he has no patience with
the sniping at his Secretary Of
State.
1t is difficult to see how
either the administration Of
the State Department. or
American foreign policy
would be improved by the
simple expedient Of replace
ing Dean Rusk. SO long as
the President takes as much
responsibility as he does. and
so long as he wishes q va
riety of advisers. 1t would
seem that Mr.. Rusk's quiet
approach to diplomacy is
we'll adapted TO the Kennedy
methods.
Perhaps there are others
who could combine q retir-
ing nature with a brilliant
personality. But what the
President has evidently
wanted is a competent tech
nician who can play on a
team. He has such q Secre-
tary Of State now, and few
Of his problems will be solved
If he finds another.

Planned Budget Deficit, Tax Reforms
Seen Causing Uncertainty in Business

SSILuiHty UT DuSiHSSS
doesn't need - or a deficit
that he can't afford.
A tax cut by itself would be
a stimulus to business. But If
unaccompanied by CORE
spending savings of a sub
stantial amount in the budget,
1t causes fear Of initiation.
This means upward price
changes and instability due
to a decline in the purchas-
ing power Of the dollar.
What has happened in the
last 80 days Is that, upon
reading the Presidents tax
proposals. business became
confused. Uncertainty devel-
oped. Hesitation is an inev-
liable sequel. Only those ex-
penditures in which COM
mitments have already been
made are carried out. Any
thing that can be deferred is
postponed indefinitely. A
wait-and-see attitude ensues.
Business doesn't usually oper-
ate on a three-year basis,
and neither do most individ-
uals. It's the 10 or IL months
ahead that constitute the
main horizon.
Tax cuts are always help
full, but they can be ruinous
to the fiscal soundness Of the
Nation unless expenses are
cut, too. 1t may be "puri-
tanic." as one Of Mr.. Ken
nedy's advisers termed it, to
balance the budget, but the
American people want to see
a trend in that direction in
stead Of away from 1t.
The President often asks
critics for alternatives. A
program Of tax cuts plus q
program Of economies in
spending appears to be the
only answer to Mr.. Kennedy's
dilemma. Tax reforms"
should be postponed. Most
important Of all now is the
necessity for the admins
tration to recognize the dan
ger and meet 1t at once be-
fore the recession intensifies.
A persuasive example of
how dangerous tax reform"
can be is already available.
The Democratic Party in
Congress is Just as much re-
sponSible for the blunder in
this case as is the President.
Carelessly and without weigh
ing the consequences, Con-
greSs passed the new law on
expense-account deductions,
phrased in vague language.
The Treasury has recently
interpreted these vague
phrases, and this has brought
depression in the restaurant
and hotel business, But. It
will be said, that's a small
part Of the economy. The

DAVID LAWRENCE

President Kennedy has Just
told the country that his tax
proposals must be adopted by
Congress to prevent a recess
sion. But, due largely to
psychological factors, the re-
cession has already begun.
The only question now is
how deep it is going to get
and how long it will last.
The recession started when
the President announced that
he was deliberately planning
a budget deficit in addition
to the deficit already being
incurred. Momentum was
added when the President de-
clared that, coincidentally,
taxes would be raised by So
called reforms" and that
the reduction in tax rates
would be spread over three
years.
This combination OF giving
and then taking away much
of what is given frightened
business, espe cha lily since
there was no sign Of any
policy to stop the spending
spree Of the Government.
Projects that could readily be
postponed new appropria-
tions-were urged Just the
same by the President, ir-
respective of their impact on
the fiscal condition Of the
country.
Today labor calls the tax
program inadequate. The
United States Chamber Of
Commerce favors a tax cut
but insists on a reduction in
Government spending as we'll.
Economists are nervous. In
vestors are cautious.
Tax changes Of major pro-
portions involving a planned
deficit are similar to a surgi-
cal operation. Sometimes the
patient gets worse and some
times he RECEIVERS. But no.

Secretary Expected to Survive Row
Over State Department FouI-Ups
RICHARD WILSON

When things 60 wrong, as
they have lately in foreign
affairs. the natural inclina-
ton in a politically minded
government is to offer up a
sacrifice to appease the great
deity, public opinion.
Secretary Of State Rusk
thus finds himself under the
appraising eyes of those who
would measure him for the
sacrificial block.
1t is noted that Mr.. Rusk
absented himself from the
meeting in Nassau between
President Kennedy and Prime
Minister Macmillan on the
embarrassing "Skybolt" issue
which upset British defense
plans but could save the
United States q cool billion.
Mr.. Rusk, 1t seems. had dip
lomatic social engagements
in Washington which he could
not break. Undersecretary
Ball went to Nassau.
Where. 1t is asked, was
Mr.. Rusk when Presidential
Assistant McGeorge Bundy
let slip by the impolite state
ment on Canadian nuclear
arms which brought the Die
fenbaker government crash
ing down?
Why does not Mr.. Rusk do
or die for principles in which
he believes. making. If nee
essary. a great public clamor
for them2
Why is Mr.. Rusk not more
out in front? Why doesn't he
hold more press conferences
And so on, and so on.
The truth is, Of course,
that major foreign policy
lines in the Kennedy admin
istration have gotten fouled
up. This is not a subject Of
partisan attack alone. Reap
praisals are being made by
administration supporters.
The all too familiar tendency
is to place the blame on the
most exposed responsible Of
fetal. Thus Mr.. Rusk finds
his status involved in such
