Jimmy G. Adcock awoke at
8 this morning, stretched
yawned-and became suddenly
awake. The door to his Wash
ingten motel room was ajar.
And, the police sergeant
from Tucson, Ariz.. soon dis
covered. 1915 had been lifted
from his wallet.
The cash was travelling money
for himself, the Tucson Teen
Err baseball team, fresh from
the national competitions in
Hershey, Pa, and their two
coaches.
The robbery was embarrass-
ing. Sergt Adcock said this
morning-as his team of Is
teen-age boys filed in for
breakfast, on the cuff, at the
restaurant Of the Howard
johnson Motor Lodge, 260l
Virginia avenue NV, where
they are staying.
For one thing. Sergt. Ad-
cock got some funny looks
from the boys, he said. The
sergeant is member Of the
intelligence unit in Tucson
that does special investiga-
tons.
The ball team had won an

Nixon's Influence on COP.

at present is to see a quail
fled Republican beat Presi-
dent Kennedy in 1864. Always
a realist, he has no hidden
purpose to try to stimulate a
draft Nixon" thing. On the
other hand, he is not unaware
that the lightning could still
strike in his own vicinity If
the convention fell into in
terminable squabbling be-
tween, say, the Rockefeller
and Goldwater foyces. Beyond
question, he would be ready
and willing should the con-
vention turn TO him.
And, finally, beyond ques-
ton, too. he deeply intends to
make his home State Of Cali
fornia the crucial leader Of
the G. o. P. He is attempting
to move the locus Of conven-
ton power away from the At
lantic seaboard on the logical
assumption that California is
shortly going to be undenia-
bly, the biggest State by all
other measures anyhow.
Never have so many politi-
cal obituaries been read so
prematurely as those which
were read over the presum-
ably PROSTATE body of the
man who lost the California
governorship to Pat Brown
less than a year ago.

senses a loss Of direction and
momentum in the Kennedy
administration. Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller grasps the
opportunity to strike the most
vulnerable point, the failure
to stimulate economic growth
on which the whole Kennedy
appeal for the Presidency was
based. A sag in Kennedy
popularity is noted in the
public opinion polls.
And the President, him
self, senses the lack Of mo-
mentum, consoling himself
with the thought that there
is a rhythm in the lives Of
men and nations, a rising

DAVID LAWRENCE
Soaring the Honest 7oxpayers

by the individual to avoid
litigation with the Treasury
Department.
Many millions of dollars
doubtless now will flow into
the Treasury which, even I'M
der a strict Interpretation of
the rules, should never be
paid in taxes. This is bound
to produce a good deal of
resentment. 1t will take form
in various ways. One result,
for instance, may well be
that many taxpayers who
have been careless about
claiming deductions that are
legitimate and easy to prove
like State sales taxes-will
certainly keep careful records
hereafter and claim such de-
auctions. This could cost the
Treasury a lot or revenue 1t
has hitherto gotten.
Perhaps one of the most
difficult problems Of all is
posed by the following Ian
guage in the Internal Reve-
nue. Services memorandum:
"The surroundings in which
the food or beverages are
furnished must be such as
would permit business discus
sion without major distrac-
ton. Generally. a night club
or other place where enter
tainment is a major attrac-
ton would not be considered
a suitable environment for q
business discussion"
But, realistically speaking.
there are many restaurants
that do have floor shows, and
these do not go on all the
time that a customer and a
salesman might be sitting at
a table. There are intermis-
sions, and often people who
may be watching a floor show
will have been in the restau-
rant a half hour to an hour
before the floor show starts.
No matter how much proof
an individual may be able to
offer that he actually trans
acted business in a restau-
rant which has a floor show,
he is cavalierly denied such a
claim. while someone who
goes to another kind of res
taurant is permitted to claim
a deduction. Plainly, the doc
trine Of equal protection Of
the law" which has been the
basis Of many Supreme Court
decisions, is being disregarded
in the arbitrary way in which
some Of the Internal Revenue
Service regulations are about
to be applied.

lows in the rest Of this column
is said on the responsibility
solely Of this columnist. It
is a free-handed and personal
Interpretation. after a talk
with him, Of the purposes
and plans Of Richard M.
Nixon.
Mr.. Nixon is resolved to
assert his authority over the
party to the large extent of
laying down between now
and next spring his own view
Of what Republican policy
should be. nationally and
internationally. From where
he sits, he has the right to
become the party's principal
public philosopher. And In
his reckoning he has the duty
to do so.
For. as he sees 1t, the true
@. o. P. problem is to hold
the party steadily in the
middle Of the road, free
alike Of left-wing and right
wing extremism. In conse-
quence, he will be highly
active when the time comes
for the national convention
to write the 1864 platform.
II, for illustration, Gov.
Rockefeller tries to put in a
civil rights plank outbidding
the Democrats for minority
group votes on the race issue,
Mr.. Nixon will certainly veto
1t II he can.
II, for example, Republican
rightistS attempt to issue
an economic declaration
for the kind OF undiluted
free enterprise logic presently
exempted by Senator Gold
water. Mr.. Nixon will GER
tainly veto 1t If he can.
Mr.. Nixon's own ambitions
are neither altogether absent
nor altogether controlling
with him. The only absolutely
unqualified ambition he has

FormIessness and Contradiction Seen
In Many Phases of Kennedy Programs

motion a counter-fo to the
planned increase in spending
by the Kennedy administra-
ton.
The same forces are seen
at work in the foreign aid
program. The Clay commits
sion report. as President
Kennedy must have foreseen
when he named the commits
sion, has given q strong push
to the move in Congress for
deeper cuts in foreign aid.
But foreign aid cannot be cut
without at the same time
affecting the amounts spent
in this country for procure
ment Of items to be shipped
abroad. Here again a coun-
ter-force to increase SPEND
ing for its general economic
effect is set in motion.
1t would seem that the
Govern e mt. always on
shaky ground when it steps
into the planning field, can
not even plan a deficit in a
co-ordinated and non-con-
Trajectory way. Experience
shows that the best inten-
toned Of Government Off
cials cannot accurately FORE
see the size Of q deficit or q
surplus, much less forecast
with accuracy the timing and
extent of its effect in the
economy.
In the Western Alliance
the United States has lost
some Of its directing force.
There Is quarreling in the
alliance on major issues. The
major achievement Of the
Kennedy administration, the
trade expansion bill, loses its
luster as the promise Of the
European Common Market
fades.
All these factors and others
the anomalies Of the Cuban
policy among them - con-
tribute to the present form
lessness Of public policy.
Congress quite clearly
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-04-03

The administration may
not have intended it that
way, but the vague and
clumsy regulations just an
nounced with respect to
expense deductions on income
taxes will have the practical
effect of soaring honest
taxpayers.
AS q result, it's quite con-
ceivable that the Government
will take in far more revenue
than ever before and that
vast sums which are not
legally taxable will be COL
lected, just because many
taxpayers will not want to
incur the large expense and
time consumed in litigation.
Some Of the new regula-
tons issued by the Internal
Revenue Service are con-
structive and we'll phrased
but, in the area Of expense
accounts, much Of the Ian
guage is so difficult to inter-
pref that many taxpayers win
decide not to try to claim
such deductions, even though
entitled to them.
A reading of the regulations
indicates at once how really
difficult 1t will be for any
taxpayer to prove conclusively
some Of his deductions even
where these are legitimate.
The Internal Revenue Serv-
ice will be free to disregard
his claims because of what it
considers inadequate proof.
Take, for example, the fol-
lowing, which is in the text
OF the questions and answers
set forth by the Internal
Revenue Service as guidance
to the taxpayer:
%. Under this lavish or
extravaganza rule, does the
Internal Revenue Service in
tend to impose dollar limita-
tons on any expenditures?
"A. No. Whether an ex-
pense is lavish or extravagant
depends on all the circum-
stances Of the particular
case"
This does not explain how
lavish or extravagant" can
be honestly interpreted. Con-
gress made q mistake origi-
nally when 1t used such
ambiguous language, and 1t
Is the duty Of Congress now
to amplify it. The Treasury
cannot revise the language of
Congress.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-04-03

This may be the period Of
aimless wandering in the
Kennedy administration. OBJ
jectives which once appeared
fairly clear seem to fade as
the approach to them is be-
gun. Formlessness and con-
tradiction tend to take over.
This can be seen in many
different phases Of the Ken
nedy programs. The more
the tax bill and increased
spending are discussed. for
example, the more clearly
does it emerge that these
twin detectives as now pro-
grammed, would probably
fail to have much effect in
forestalling an economic re-
ceSsion.
II the President is relying
on tax reduction, the total
effect would not be great in
this calendar year; in fact,
the time is rapidly passing
when it could have any effect
at all. AS for next year,
taking into consideration the
forthcoming and offsetting
increase in payroll taxes. the
stimulating effect of income
tax changes may not be very
great.
President Kennedy shifted
his grounds for wanting a tax
cut and bigger spending. He
advances this program now as
insurance against recession.
But II we are to have a re-
cession in 1854, as some ex-
perts think, Government ac-
ton would probably be taken
on a much broader scale.
In other areas contradic-
tory forces are at work. The
main thrust Of Secretary
McNamara's administration
OF the Defense Department
is to reduce existing and fu-
ture expenditures by making
drastic changes In program
med weapons systems. Mr..
Mcnamara is trying to move
away from planned deficits,
while Mr.. Kennedy tries to
move toward planned deficits.
Emotional phases Of the
Tx controversy obscure the
central fact that Mr.. McNa-
mara was trying to save the
expenditure OF 81 billion by
requiring the reluctant COM
manders Of the Air Force and
the Navy TO procure q single
tactical supersonic aircraft
instead Of each service having
a different fighter plane.
Cancellation Of the Skybolt
missile, closing down missile
bases In Turkey and italy,
the hold-back and shelving OF
the RS-70 and the proposed
atomic-powered plane all are
part OF the broader McNa-
mara pattern aimed at stop
ping the increase in defense
spending. He Is now apprais-
ing the value OF building any
more new aircraft carriers.
1t is stated. In fact. that the
Secretary Of Defense can force
the possibility Of hating the
increase and perhaps revers-
ing the trend toward greater
defense spending. Mr.. Nc
Namara's aim, Of course. can
he explained On other than
budgetary grounds. But 1t
remains the fact that the
fundamental changes he is
making will reduce future
commitments for defense by a
stable amount. although II
IL yet 10 be seen whether
overall the increase In cost
can be halted.
In purely economic terms,
and whatever his intentions,
Mr.. Mcnamara Is setting In
