Open Hearings On Tax Plans

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The chief spokesman for House Republicans on taxes complained that tax relief for individuals would be distributed unfairly under President Kennedy’s program. For proof, he pointed to a j Treasury chart. The administration’s chief spokesman, Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, replied that Kennedy’s tax-cutting program was fair to all income groups. He said the Treasury's chart was misleading: “It doesn’t tell the whole story.” This exchange between Dillon and Rep, W, Byiflej, RWis., at the opening of congressional hearings Wednesday on the President’s tax program set the tone for a major pocketbook struggle over the tax-cutting pie. Although Congress is likely to reduce income taxes, the final version may not look much like Kennedy’s plan. Attracts Big Audience ‘-"Dillon was recalled for further 1 interrogation today by the House Ways & Means Committee. Byrnes was the only Republican 1 who got a chance to question him Wednesday when Dillon took two hours to read a 74-page statement. The hearing attracted a standing room audience of 500 lobbyists and other spectators. The chart to which Byrnes referred lists distribution “by income classes” of tax savings that would result from Kennedy’s $10.3 billion tax-cutting program when the reductions became fully effective HT1965. It showed: Percentage Income Tax Savings 0-33,000 40 $3,000-35,000 29 $5,000-310.000 21 SIO,OOO-320,000 15 $20,000-350,000 12 $50,000 and above 9

The rifle, the first lever action rifle ever made, was presented to President Lincoln during the Civil War. The chair once belonged to" the Wife of Robert Todd Lincoln, the president’s eldest son. Beckwith plans to donate the items to the Smithsonian Institution.

Byrnes said this “40-15-9 spread” would be unfair. He had "no quarrel” with the President’s proposed tax rate reductions under which savings by income i groups would range from 20.9 to i 28.3 per cent. But he objected j that the final result was “distorted between groups” because of the effect of proposed “tax reforms” — revenue - boosting changes asked by Kennedy. Says Chart Tells Story Dillon argued that the chart did not tell the full story because it i did not take into account the benefits that would flow to individuals from reductions in corporation income taxes recommended by Kennedy. These tax reductions, he said, would mean an in- 1 crease of $1.4 billion in dividend payments to individuals. Seventy per cent of those who would benefit from this have incomes of SIO,OOO or more, Dillon said. When that is taken into account, he added, the “nine per I cent” benefit for those with in- : comes of $50,000 and above "becomes 12”. And, he said, the 12 ! per cent benefit for those with incomes between $20,000 and $50.-, 000 became 15 per cent, and so on. Dillon said that if Congress failed to approve the 33.5 billion in revenue-boosting revisions Kennedy wants, then tax rates could not be lowered as much as the President had phoposed. He said the administration would insist on keeping the net reduction over the three-year period to a maximum of $lO3 billion. • Sink Moldings To keep the bright bands of metai on kitchen sinks and coun-. ters from staining your apron black, touch up the bands with j colorless lacquer.

PROPOSES (Continued from Page One) estimated $284 million during the next biennium.

The tax, meant to supplement the present gross income tax, which the commission already has recommended hiking one-third, would be applied so as to relieve the load on property taxes by applying the revenue to school costs on the basis o- average daily attendance of pupils.
