Kennedy Sets
Tax Cuts as
Major Goal
Large Reductions
In Several Stuees
Get Top Priority
By GARNETT d. HORNER
Star staff Writer

star starr Writer
PALM BEACH. Fla, Jan. 2.
President Kennedy believes
cutting taxes is the most I'M
portant job facing Congress
this year.
He is giving top priority in
the new Congress, ahead of
such pet projects as medicare,
1t was learned today, to legis-
lation combining loophole-
closing tax reforms with rate
cuts of IS billion to $40 billion
effective in several stages.
Asserting an increasingly
positive American leadership in
international affairs, the Pres
ident entered the new year con-
vinced that the United States
must act at times without ap-
proval of its friends In order
to get things done.
He doesn't expect that Amer
lea will be more beloved even
by its allies in 1868, but he
does hope to get more done in
carrying out policies he believes
will serve the best interests of
the entire free world as well as
the United States.
The Presidents views on
these and a wide range of other
and foreign problems
we're reported today by sources
with his present views.
Optimistic on House Rules
He is described as very hope
full of winning his first fight
with Congress next week to
keep the House Rules Commit
tee membership at is so as to
give his tax legislation and
other administration bills q
better chance of getting to a
House vote.
Mr.. Kennedy believes 1868
win be a good business year in
any case, but he considers tax
reduction vital as insurance
against a recession and to raise
Unless taxes are cut. he an
ticipates that the unemploy-
ment rate will go up from So
per cent to more than 6 per
cent this year. But he believes
unemployment can drop to less
than S per cent If Congress
approves the tax bill he will
submit later this month.
Among other things. it can
be said authoritatively that the
President:
/. Will try again to get med
icare and school aid programs
Congress. and will
strive to reshape aid-to-educa-
ton legislation so as to unite
its friends instead of its enc
mics.
2. Considers that chances for
keeping the peace in 1868 are
better than they looked
a year ago.
3. Figures the balance Of
power is still on our side in
the world struggle with Soviet
communism, with the United
States ahead of Russia in nu-
clear weaponry.
4. Is directing American pol
icy TO work for a change in the
Communist regime in Cuba, but
has no intention of invading
Cuba unless there is some ag-
gressive act by Premier Fidel
Castro.

dent probably will demand an
other real estate tax increase
to pay the bill. Commissioners
are considering a rate increase
from S2.50 to $2.70 per $1O0 Of
assessed value next July l.
The White House position is
that the Federal payment of
S32 million should be raised to
help out.
Congress refused to increase
the payment last session.
$500 Million Expected
But the President believes an
explanation and rationale of
both District spending and
revenue needs drawn at the
White House will attract more
attention in Congress than was
ever done before.
His budget is expected to
edge toward $500 million. The
Commissioner recommended
more than $500 million.
On the revenue side, the
President has been under local
Democratic pressure to in
crease District borrowing limits
to reduce interest rates on
District borrowing and to re-
view tax exemptions with a
view to withdrawing some.

a permanent plan for reap

Assembly.
In his state of the State"
message to the opening session
Of the Assembly, Gov. Tawes
urged legislative action on pro-
posals to abolish slot machines,
redistrict Congressional dis
tricts, prohibit racial dis
elimination in hotels and
restaurants. provide periodic
inspection Of motor vehicles,
expand higher education facili-
ties and to develop a plan to
meet future road needs.
Pending Cases Noted
On reapportionment, Gov
Tawes noted that several cases
are before the Supreme Court
and that no specific guidelines|
have been laid down for ap-
portioning membership in
State legislative bodies.
"The lack of final adjudica-
ton of many aspects of the
matter has produced a state of
great uncertainty as to how
fair representation is to be
achieved" Gov. Tawes said.
The General Assembly passed
a stop-gap reapportionment
measure last year which added
i9 members to the House of
Delegates from the urban and
suburban areas, but it did not
touch the Senate.
Committee Report
Gov. Tawes concurred with
an apportionment committee
which be appointed and which
asked that the issue be put off
until the 1864 General As
sembly session.
The Governor told members
Of the Assembly that Mary
lands financial condition "re-
mains strong and stable" and
said he will not recommend
any increased taxes to finance
State operations.
He is required to submit a
budget within three weeks. It
is expected the budget will
total around $500 million for
fiscal 1963-64, compared to this
years figure Of about $556 mil
lion.
Gov. Tawes said he will have
a bill introduced to abolish slot
machines and he urged the As
sembly to enact it.
Gambling Objectionable
Il reached the conclusion
that gambling devices which
have been legalized in four Of
our counties were Objectionable
to vast majority of the people
Of this State. 1, therefore, took
the position that the devices
should be eliminated" the Gov
ernor said.
The Governor said the Gen.

In 1861, the Assembly passed

voters rejected this plan in a |
referendum last November.
