Advanced Hope For Possible Tax Cuts * Democrat Senator Voices Some Hope WASHINGTON (UP) — A Democratic member of the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee advanced a cautious hope today for consideration of a “moderate” tax cut next year. Sen. George A. Smathers (D-Fla.) said the committee headed by Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) would consider the possibility of a tax reduction bill next year, if it feels cutting taxes won't “add to the fires of inflation” and if there is a surplus in the government’s operating budget. Smathers, writing in his weekly newsletter to constituents, said the committee felt at the start of this year that tax reduction migty be inflationary and further endanger the economy. Smathers said the committee, presently studying all aspects of government fiscal pojjcy has "not yet arrived at any easy solution" to the tax problem. But he said, “all of us realize that our savings, our salaries, our wealth such as it is. can quickly be destroyed by runaway inflation.” Although no promises have been made by Democratic leaders, the House Ways and Means Committee. headed by Rep. Jere Cooper (D-Tenn.), will open hearings on a tax cut Jan. 7, the first day of the new congressional sesion. All tax legislation must originate in the House. Most observers consider a small tax cut of some form is likely if the administration’s spending budget can be balanced. However, any prospect that a reduction would cause a real deficit probably would spell defeat for tax relief. President Eisenhower has said that tax reduction should be considered only after the budget is balanced.
