(Continued from f'lUie 1) factor in pulling people above the $3,000 a year income level and keeping them there. “The rate of poverty reduction increases in the economy’s good years, but the opposite happens during a recession,” he said. Tax Cut Potent Weapon Lampman termed the 1964 tax cut as the most potent single weapon in the anti poverty war. He emphasized that through care fully controlled government spending, a high rate of economic growth can be insured with little or no accompanying inflation. Lampman's most controversial solutions center around his plan to expand “transfer payments” to close the “poverty income gap”— Pakistan Students To Hold Program The Pakistan Students Associa tion will hold a program entitled “Introduction to Pakistan” at 8 p.m. today at the Wesley Foun dation.

Lampanui said that in his plan 'transfer payments” would be ad ministered by the federal govern ment to equalize some of the in equities in the present system. Increase ‘Transfer Payments” The best thing that came out of the 1964 Economic Opportunities Act is the concept that poverty is a national and not a local or re gional problem, Lampman said. “There are many poor people who do not qualify for public assistance because they don’t meet residence requirements.” The average income of the poor is $1,800 while the median income of the non-poor is $6,500, Lamp man continued. Lampman also advocates a “negative income tax to fill the gap between the actual income of the poor and his goal of a $3,000 income. At the moment, he ex plained a family of four with a $3,000 income pays no income tax, but the same family which earns under $3,000, also, pays no income tax. Lampman would pay each fam ily with an income of $1,500 an other $1,500 in "negative income Tax” to push its income up to $3,000 a year. Expensive Program This program would be expen sive, at least $8 billion, but it would also take the place of the $4 $5 billion net now being spent on public assistance.
