Herbert McGushin, deputy
director Of the agency's office
Of public information, said
USIA regards the poll results
as confidential and would not
release them unless directed to
do so by Mr.. Kennedy.
He said the Presidents ref
erences to the polls existence
at his press conference did not
automatically remove the
classified" label.
Mr.. McGushin said he had
not been able to determine how
up-to-date the prestige surveys
are, but was under the impress
sion nothing has come out Of

The agency spokesman said
that when Edward r. Murrow
took over as director Of USIA
in the spring Of 1861, he an
nounced that USIA would dis
continue the use Of popularity
or prestige polls as such.
Instead, Mr.. McGushin said.
the agency has concentrated on
surveys that show what our
audiences in various parts Of
the world know and what they
need to know" The surveys.
he added. are designed to i'm
prove the effectiveness of
USIA's efforts and TO pinpoint
areas OF concentration.
Mr.. McGushin said that II
was possible that in connection
with such depth surveys"
questions may have been asked
bearing on Americas overall
standing or its reputation in
such specific areas as the space
race or nuclear testing.
The agency spokesman first
told a reporter that II a search
OF the files turned UP such polls,
the results-at least In general
terms-would be made public.
Later. he said he had been ad-
vised by agency officials that
the results OF whatever surveys
exist we're classified"
Mr.. McGushin was able 10
furnish survey data supporting

Cuban Premier Fidel Castro's

sphere countries.
He said the President had
"declassified" these polls by re-

Don't Spend Enough

Defenders Of deficit spending
call the analogy false. They
note that the individual fam
lily must concentrate on its
own financial soundness, and
is too small to have any ap-
preciable effect on the rest OF
the economy. But the Federal
Government is so big that Its
financial operations influence
economic activity.
Recessions start because con-
sumers and investors spend toe
little money to keep the econ
omy operating near full ca
pacity, according to the theory
If the Government reduces Its
outlays, total spending in the
economy declines that much
more. If taxes are raised, the
ability of consumers and in
vestors to spend is decreased.
This approach aggravate5 the
recession and postpones the
day when the economy will OPP
crate at a high enough level
to produce budget balancing
revenues.
So, advocates Of deficit
spending say the Government
should act as a balance wheel,
making up some Of the private
conomy's deficiencies by
spending more and taxing less,
Temporary deficits. they con-
tend. would hasten the recess
sion's end and lead to balanced
budgets.
Borrowing, they argue, can
be a sign Of strength rather
than weakness. 1t all depends
on the purpose Of the borrow
ing and the prospects OF the
borrower.
Borrow In Good Times
II a family borrows beyond
its capacity TO repay. 1t is
heading for trouble. But II the
loan finances the purchase OF
tools or a sons education. the
family may be making a sound
investment In future earning

ity to repay.
Borrowing is clearly a sign
OF strength for corporations,
which use loans to modernize
and expand productive ca

Tor private use. a similar ar
gument was made during the
depression OF the i930s by those
who insisted on balancing the
budget.
The reply is that the pri-
vate economy is letting capi-
tai and other resources lie idle.
One Of the main troubles is
that corporations are not bor-
rowing heavily to invest.
Help Meet Deficiencies
Increased Government def
cits, therefore. would not
squeeze out private borrowers
but would help compensate for
their deficiencies.
Deficits are the counterpart
OF surpluses. Borrowing by the
Government or by business, or
by both, must absorb the net
surpluses that is savings -
accumulated by other elements
OF the economy. or else some
OF the savings will be idle and
unproductive.
When the economy is pros
porous, business borToWs heaV-
lily to invest, and big Federal
deficits are unnecessary. But
when the economy is so slug
gish that business curtails bor-
rowing. Federal deficits in
crease.
BY acting as a balance wheel,
according to the theory. Gov
ernment spending and bor-
rowing mobilize resources that
would be wasted otherwise. No
diversion of resources from pri-
vate use is involved.
II the economy is stimulated
by the administrators pro-
gram. business will have the
capacity and the incentives to
borrow and invest. Then there
may be pressure on available
savings and interest rates may
rise. This could be helpful in
restraining excesses.
Initiation Danger Cited
Theorists observe, further
more, that Government borrow
ing can be financed through
creation of new money. rather
than by tapping existing saw
ings.
But If tax cuts increase pur-
chasing power and II Govern
ment borrowing creates new
money. inflationary pressures
may be generated. That's why
opponents Of deficits contend
that Government borrowing
cheapens the value of the dol
lar. The Presidents program
m g h t increase purchasing
power initially. they warn. but
initiation would soon cancel the
gains.
Administration leaders admit
their program involves some
risk of initiation, especially after
the economy responds to slim
ulation by reducing unem-
ployment and putting idle
factories to work.
But they maintain that in
flation is not a pressing dan
ger because there is so much
slack In the economy. II pur-
chasing power expands. they
theorize, idle workers and ma
chimes will be put to work to
meet the demand.

monetary policy, public opin-
ion and vigorous enforcement
of antitrust laws. Moreover.
officials maintain, the tax pro-
gram would encourage invest
ment in modern, cost-cutting
machinery. ~
The administration also con-
cedes that the tax program
could cause problems for the
campaign to eliminate the def
icit in the balance Of pay
ments.
If the program boosts pur-
chasing power, imports will in
crease. and they count as debts
on the payments ledger. But
II foreigners increase their sales
here, they will earn enough to
buy more exports from the
United States. -.
Initiation would hamper ef-
forts to compete for world
markets, but modernizationrof
American factories could hold
costs and prices down. =,
Some foreigners are nervous
about budget deficits, and so
might react by cashing in their
dollars for gold, weakening the
dollar. But the administration
has rounded up considerable
support for its program among
leading European bankers and
officials. 90.
Furthermore, the administra-
ton contends, vigor in the
American economy would be
the best possible tonic for in
ternational confidence in the
dollar.
Attract Investors
Officials add that a strong
economy would keep American
investment capital In the Unted
States and attract foreign in
veStors here. And II would be
practical. If the domestic econ
omy were prosperous, to curb
outflows of capital by tighten
ing monetary policies.
Perhaps the most pervasive
argument used against sthe
Presidents program is the con-
tention that deficit spending
has failed in the past to sEim-
ulate the economy. Critics note
that deficits failed to end the
depression Of the 1930s and
that the economy has been
sluggish during the past fiye
years despite red-ink spending.
The administration replies
that the depression was so deep
that it can't be compared TO
the present sluggish situation.
Institutional failures and re-
strictive monetary policies ag-
gravated the problem in the
1930s. -
Moreover, the administration
contends. most of the deficits
cited by conservatives we're
passive" That is. they re-
suited from economic declines
rather than planning. osr
If the Government deliber-
ateiy engages in active" def
icit financing with the object
of tightening the tax load, the
President argues, the economy
will respond. -
Some theorists. however. con-
tend that political pressufes
have persuaded the President
to propose tax reductions and
deficits that are too small to
do the Job. They fear that the
program will fLil, and so viii
discredit fiscal policy as a spur
for economic growth. -

BY LEE NJ. COHN
Star Staff Writer

Administration policymakers
are amazed that Puritan"
ideas about money have in
Spired widespread opposition to
President Kennedy's program
of tax cuts and budget defi-
citS.
It's true that old-fashioned
principles - notably the average
mans intuitive fear of debt
are the main obstacles to ap-
proval of the program. But
even avid advocates of deficit
spending admit the proposals
for large scale Government
borrowing expose the Nation
to some risk Of initiation and
other real, not fancied, eco
nomic dangers.
The Opposing View
While the administration
contends the opportunities to
stimulate the economy far out
weigh the dangers, outraged
conservatives warn that the
program would lead the Nation
down the path to political i'm
morality and economic ruin.
Here are the main argu-
ments:
Most individuals believe on
principle that a family should
live within its income. If in
come declines, according to the
popular concept, prudence re-
quires less spending.
1t is a simple matter to ex-
tend this principle from the
family to the Government. For
many years the Government
did react to revenue losses in
recessions by cutting expendi-
lures and raising tax rates In
efforts to balance the Federal
budget.
Opponents of deficit spend
ing recall that Franklin d.
Roosevelt. who never balanced
the budget, started his presi-
Dental career by promising to
get the Governments house in
order through spending reduc-
tions. He compared the Federal
budget with a big family bud
get.

CityHeods
Avoid Stund
On Residency

A majority Of the Dis
trict Commissioners yesterday
backed away from a proposal
which would let non-District
residents serve on a licensing
board.
Commissioner John B. Dun
can said that a proposed re-
organization order which would
permit persons living outside
the city to serve on the Board
of Cosmetologists (beauticians)
"is just the opposite from the
present trend"
Hot Potato
The question of whether all
members of District boards and
city employees should be re-
quired to live in Washington
is a hot potato for the Com
missioners. p"
Leaders Of the local DEM
ocratic and Republican Parties
have strongly urged that the
Commissioners should either
require city employees to live
in Washington or should give
preference in recruitment and
promotion to those residing
here.
Referred to Board
Walter N. Tobriner. Presi-
dent of the Board of Commis-
sioners proposed that the matter
be referred back to the Board
of Cosmetologists for a detailed
explanation on why it is neces-
sary to permit nonresidents to
serve on this board.
Mr.. Tobriner later ordered
his staff not to release the
names Of persons just named
by the Commissioners to serve
on the new board to license
physical therapists. Mr.. Tobri-
ner said he wanted to deter
mine first whether they are
District residents.

Russia Urges
U. 5. 10 Soften
Test Ban Terms

GENEVA, Feb. is (AP) -
The Soviet Union declared to.
day talks for negotiation of o
treaty to ban nuclear testing
can only be kept alive If the
Western powers offer a major
concession.
Vastly V. Kuznetsov, Soviet
deputy foreign minister, said q
treaty really is within easy
reach and accused the Western
powers of stalling.
He left the impression with
delegates to the 17-nation dis
armament conference that
Russia expects the West to ac-
cept the Soviet offer of a maxi
mum of 2 or 3 on-site inspec-
tions a year.
In the view Of the Western
powers this is inadequate to
check suspicious earth tremors
in the Soviet Union
Mr.. Kuznetsov described the
Soviet offer as a major conces-
sion. and added:
"The matter now rests with
the United States"
Look for Concessions
outside the conference room
Soviet Spokesman Yuri Tcher-
niakov told newsmen:
I'VE have made great and
important concessions of prin-
ciple to meet the Western point
OF view. Our position was and
remains that on-site inspec-
tions are not necessary. We
offered 2 to 3 inspections only
to overcome the deadlock in
the negotiations. We now ex-
pect concessions to come from
the western side"
Asked whether the deadlock
on the number of inspect )ns
left no basis for continued le-
gotiationS, Mr.. Tcherniakov re-
piled:
II think such an assumption
would not be far away from
the true state of affairs. The
statements made by the United
States and the United Kingdom
delegates have only deepened
our disappointment. and we
remain distrustful of negotia-
tions."
Subcommittee Stalled
An American delegation
spokesman said:
THE Soviet Union is reluc-
tant to get into three-power
discussions on a nuclear test
ban treaty"
The American-British- Rus
sian test ban subcommittee has
not met since the conference
resumed Tuesday after a two
recess. Despite growing
pressure from the neutral dele
cations, there are no present
plans for a subcommittee
meeting.
In the conference room,
Kuznetsov asserted: "Condi-
tions have never been as fav-
orable as now for banning all
tests"
But he asserted that state
ments made by American and
British delegates since the con-
ference resumed Tuesday only
confirmed our point Of view
that the Western powers are
not seeking agreement on a
test ban but are doing every
thing they can to drag out
the negotiations"
