Tax Cut Is Held
Trade Stimulant
Income, Estate Reductions
Claimed Foundation of
Business Upsurge
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. It
-P)-John W. Hanes, recently
resigned undersecretary of the
treasury, expressed tonight the
"earnest belief" that a reduction
in personal income and estate tax
es would lay the "foundation for
a real business upsurge."
Hanes, a Yale- graduate of J 5
years ago, was one of the speakers
at the celebration of the 50th an
niversary of the founding of the
Yale Alumni University Fund as
sociation, an organization that
has collected over $10,000,000
from Yale men.
Hanes said In a prepared ad
dress . that there was no way to
stop the shrinkage in endowment
fund income that had been going
on for 10 years, that high taxes
made it difficult for those upon
whom a university depended to
make contributions and then de
clared:
"It is my belief that the high
est rate of taxation upon the tax
payer does not always produce
the maximum revenue. ... I am
convinced that the treasury of
the United States will collect
larger total of dollars with a tax
bill that takes Into broad consld
eration the effect of the dollars it
will leave the taxpayer for expan
sion and development.
"It Is my earnest belief that If
we would approach our tax prob
lem honestly, reducing the high
rates both upon personal Incomes
and estates, business would be en
couraged 'to go ahead at a more
rapid rate. It is possible that a
foundation for a real business up-
lnterest rates would be arrested.
