SPECIAL WASHINGTON REPORT - Tax Cuts Seen As Aid To Business'-lndustry By Sen. Gale McGee (D. Wyo.)

| (This is the second of Sen. McGee's articles relative to the urgent need for Federal Tax cuts.)

| Responding to critics of, the budget deficits ind tax cuts, Sec- ' retary of tti Treasury Dillon said "there can be no question that ; if our economy were at reasonably full capacity, our tax system ‘ i would today be producing more than enough ———' i revenue to finance our current national needs : j . with a balanced budget. E ‘ f "The deficit we now face is the result of an 1 ; economy which produces too little—rather than , of a Government which spends too much. This L« 'y ** j provides even more reason for reducing taxes.” m ' JI j To put the problem in economic terms, there ' is not enough purchasing power in the economy co buy the goods and services our labor forces I and industry can produce at the prices charged. j A Federal tax cut would release new economic o«u McO« i forces that would bring new I ~ "———————

• energy and confidence to the j whole economy. I A large portion of the tax ; cut will be for business and in- ' dustry. A reduction in personal and corporate taxes raises profit margins for businessmen and en- . larges the supply of "internal” ■‘■business funds available for in- ' vestment. There is an increased supply of money for plant expansion, research and product development and mod- • ernization. Couple the direct ' benefits to .industry with the increased purchasing power of the I consumer and there is the im- ■; pctus for full scale economic ■ growth. | Question — "Why don’t we cut out all those unessential civilian programs?” | Answer — Unfortunately, there just isn’t enough money in those civilian programs to cut. After eliminating the cost of defense, debt interest, space programs and costs of past wars, there is only S2O billion left in tHe budget. To make it balance this year would require a cut of about half of the funds for all civilian programs. It should be obvious the result would be chaos. We in the Congress will indeed cut the budget, but we will use a surgeon’s scalpel rather than a meat axe. And it should be noted that j while the Federal government receives nearly 21 per cent of our total national income, it pays out 9 per cent in loans, grants,

( ’ Question — "If you could get . those millions of government > . workers on the job for a change - we wouldn’t have any financial | problems.” .■ Answer— Government em- > : ployees are by now quite used to - being the butt of many a joke,' : however unearned their reputa-, • tion is. I would like to point : out that in 1952 the Federal' government employed 1.6 per. t cent of the population. In 1958 i the percentage was 1.4 and now it is about 1.3. And of the , total Federal civilian employi ment 72 per cent work in de- . sense, Post Office and Veterans f Administration. In relation to the total pop- , ulation the civilian employees of i the Federal government have : been reduced by 3 per cent in ’ the last ten years. In contrast, I the employees of state and local ■ governments have increased by 63 per cent. In the economic race we are running with the Soviet Union the victory will go to the swift and daring. To those who fear j to borrow against the future of j this democracy I would say that to build a solid structure it is i necessary to first dig for a firm , foundation.

»Negotiators Work To Prevent Strike

WASHINGTON (UPI) -r Negotiators sought today to head off a nationwide railroad strike with only hours remaining before removal of the last legal obstacle to a walkout. A 30-day cooling-off period under the Railway Labor Act expires at midnight, E)DT, Tuesday. At that time, the railroads will be free to put into effect work rules changes that union leaders say will result in a strike on 195 major railroads. The railroad and union negotiators held a Sunday session, with Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz sitting in on the talks, and were scheduled for another meeting today. In spite of the possible seriousness of the situation, recent negotiations have been marked by an absence of a crisis atmosphere in the daily sessions. Crucial to Unions The proposed work rule changes are crucial to the unions, since they would eliminate thousands of firemen on diesel engines and make sweeping changes in pay systems for 200,000 operating employes. One hope for delaying a strike

was that the railroads might announce that the changes will go into effect after a period of, perhaps, 30 days. This would provide time fori renewed efforts at settlement or for Congress to enact legislation to block a strike. One government official who has participated in the talks, which began May 20, said “there is no real basis for optimism” on agreement. Other sources called the negotiator “an exercise in futility.” Dispute Years Old The dispute between the railroads—which are seeking to remove so-called “featherbedding” practices;—and the five railroad unions is now three years old. It has included a year’s study by a presidential railroad commission, which supported many of the proposed job changes, and a more recent study by a three-man board of experts appointed by the President. The board said a railroad strike would deal an inestimable blow to the U.S. economy even if it lasted only a few days. The board also recommended a special referee to settle unresolved issues, but the unions traditionally have opposed such arbitration. of Fort Wayne, are the parents of a 6 lb., 14% oz., baby boy born at 11:55 a. m. today.
