WHAT TAX CUT WOULD MEAN TO YOU At the highest policy-making levels in Washington today, serious debate is now going on about a tax cut for you and me, as individual taxpayers - to give the current economic advance a powerful new push and thereby to slash into job lessness. It's still in the behind-closed-doors stage, hardly more than a possibility. But in a Los Angeles speech a few days ago, Dr. Walter Heller, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, openly hinted at the debate, declared an "eventual net tax reduction should not be ruled out." Heller explained that there is considerable question whether our tax levels as well as our tax structure are holding back economic growth and employment, then added significantly, "These are open, not closed, policy questions in Washington today." If an individual tax cut does coma on top of the pro posed tax credit and liberalized depreciation schedules for businessmen who spend money on plants and equip ment, the impact on our economy would indeed be electri fying. Billions of dollars of spending money would be left in pay envelopes which now are being drained by withholding of taxes throughout the year. More billions of dollars of working capital would be left In business cash registers which now are being emptied in chunks by the U.S. tax collector. The federal budget again would be way out of balance, meaning the government would be pouring billions more dollars into the economy than It is taking out in the form Of t3X6S. And the threat of new inflation, along with the quick ened upswing and the dangerous distrust of the dollar's stability among our creditors abroad, could become very real. The last paragraph explains why an individual tax cut Is only being explored now but since it is at least being ex plored let's see what it would mean to you. The President has asked Congress for stand-by authority to make tempo rary tax cuts of up to 5 per cent across-the-board as a "safe guard against recession," and while he's not going to get the authority, the way Congress feels now, his request can be the basis for an excellent illustration. Here's what a 5-point tax cut would mean to a married man with two children, assuming his deductions total 10 per cent: . Tax due now Income $ 3,000 ' 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 50,000 100,000 250,000 $ 60 420 1,372 2,486 3,800 5,318 15,976 44,724 154,754 5-point cut Ami. of tax cut 45 315 1,042 1,931 3,020 4,313 13,846 40,344 143,624 15 105 330 555 780 1,005 2,130 4,380 11,130 Tarh percentage point of tax reduction would increase ennual take-home pay by $2 billion. A maximum 5 per cent cut would swell the annual take-home financial pie by i whopping $10 billion. In the case of the $3,000-a-year man, a 5-point redue ion would slash his tax debt by 25 per cent - although, . as the table shows, it would leave only a few dollars ad ditional in his wallet. In the case of the $250,000-a-year man, the 5-point reduction would slash hit tax debt by 7 per cent, but, as the table also underlines, it would leave thmitancU of dollar! extra in his wallet. Rprause our tax levels are sc high and because they train , murh moncv away from anybody who has an in come, even seemingly minor percentage reductions add up 4n hillinne nf Hollars. Tax cutting is the most powerful prosperity prop and anti-recession weapon we have. The weapon is in our arsenal .-for use as we need it.

James Forrest demonstrated the use of the binocular and compound microscope, using catfish to show circulation of the blood in the tail fin capil laries. Demonstrates Discharge In the science and physics displays, supervised by Clar ence Miller, John Jaksch demonstrated electrical dis charge through a vacuum, the vacuum being created in a glass tube by means of a pump. The student ran a demonstration proving that objects fall at the same rate m a vacuum, although their weight is changed. Bob Allen and Mike Record showed the Doppler effect in sound (lower pitch as an ob ject recedes and higher pitch as it approaches). Jim Nelson explained image formation by curved mirrors. Nathan Olson had con structed a ripple tank using an ordinary window glass, a thin layer of water, an elec tric light, and a discarded mixer motor to study wave motion. Gary Meade had a demon stration showing the behavior of polarized light. Rick Smith boiled cool water under low pressure to illustrate how blood will boil at high alti tudes. Dave Baker and Leslie Dewey prepared oxygen and and studying its properties. Elaine Wilson showed how a catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction. Steve Hall and Bob Butcher tested soils for nit rates.

My frame of re f erence was the spe c 1 a 1 buttons provided for s e n a tors so that they can summon an el evator without waiting for it to discharge the other passengers. I pointed out that if a per son boarded an elevator when senatorial traffic was heavy, he might be taken past his floor several times before he got a chance to get off. A colleague who rides the elevators daily told me that he sometimes begins to won der whether he will ever be able to get off at all. He suggested that a situa tion could arise similar to that related in a folk song that became popular a couple of years ago. In the song, he recalled, a subway fare increase caused a passenger to be stranded The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council constats of a Judre. a psychla. trlst, three clergymen, three editors and a woman's editor.

Guy S. - His life is peace ful now. Why look for trouble? Mr. A. S. - My children can't believe a woman is sin cere about me. Guy S. - Well, meet a new sucker - my dad. He's 65 and has been a widower for 15 years, making his home witn me and my family. About six months ago, a 45- year-old widow made her ap pearance in our apartment house. Somehow she made Dad's acquaintance and, be fore long, they were meeting downstairs in front of the building for long evening strolls together. In warm weather they join the kibit zers of the neighborhood on the side walk and it's disgust ing to hear her call Clark for Clark Gable. He eats it all up. She has him thinking he's 35 again, and a lady-killer. The truth is he look more like 75 and all those compli ments shouldn't blind him to the fact that her eye is on his money, not on him. At the rate she's going, she'll get both. He's thinking of pro posing to her and he'll be sorry. Mr. A. S. - I believe Rae is sincere. My children are sud denly looking at me with new eyes since Rae is on the scene. They're trying to see what she sees in me and so far they can t find anything but cash That's their problem, not Rae's and mine. ' ' She seems to enjoy just talking to me by the hour. My children shut me up after two words. When she invites me to visit her, she prepares a steak dinner fit for royalty, with homemade sponge cake and all. But when I want a fancy meal with my son and daughter and their families, how do I get it? By taking them all to a restaurant and footing the bill. Rae brings sunshine into my life. She's a cheerful com panion who makes no de mands. It's too bad Guy sees only one angle to this. Why does he assume it's impossible for Rae to appreciate me as a person? e The Council - If Guy fol lows the fate of Broadway musicals, he'll note that sev eral of them this season re volved around money and business, yet the only one to succeed was the one which highlighted the fun, fooling and frolic behind those fren zied pursuits. Rae may be real. Time will tell. Meanwhile, she is putting on a good act, env phasizing ego-building (For Mr. S.) joys the bull's eye for tired businessmen of all ages. While we won't dare to dub Mr. S. an old fool, nor even a young fool, we'll go along with his son in the matter of caution. What proof have you, Mr. S., of Rae's basic character, aside from the pres ent "productions?" Have you met past associates, acquaint ances, friends and family who can fill in the blanks of back ground? It's more important to know how Rae stands up In times of stress, how cheerful she is when the chips are down, than how alluring she can be while husband hunt ing. Let us suggest that Mr. S allow himself time to see Rae under varying circumstances, to test her off-guard "reflexes" when faced with hard work or unpleasant facts. In the course of conversation, for ex- FALSE TEETH That Loosen Need Not Embarrass Many wearers of false -th have auflered real embsrrasemeTU because their plate dropped, slipped or wob bled at J 0)'. the wrong time.

For, a large part of Guy's and the family's opposition to this flowering romance is based, undoubtedly, on "dol lar diplomacy." Once the hur dle of Who-gets-the money- is surmounted to the chil dren's satisfaction, they may be able to see Rae as a pleas ant partner for their dad. And by viewing him from a dif ferent angle, possibly squint ing a bit, they may find a bit of the old charm which at tracted their mother years ago, and now leaps out to ward Rae. There are m.tny men who are not Clark Gables and yet achieve happy second mar riages. If Rae Is a woman of merit, she's looking for a man with fine qualities. No amount of money would attract her, Guy, if the suitor were obnox ious. As her "Clark," your dad has an inside track. aboard a train so that he 'rode forever beneath the streets of Boston." Well, sir, before you could say "Kingston Trio" I had hauled out my mandolin and was whomping up a folk song of my own. I call it "Poor Old Pater," and if any record com pany is interested after see ing the lyrics, I'm available. Verse: Oh, what a miserable morn ing; Oh, what a terrible day The day that we lost poor old pater In a most unusual way. It happened in the early spring Of nineteen sixty-one When pater took a little trip To see the sights in Washing ton. He had a jolly time there. He saw sights by the score Until the day he tried to see His home state U.S. senator. He never should have done it; He should have stood in bed. What happened to poor old pater Shouldn't happen to a Red. He got into the public lift And asked for number three But a senator's call for num ber five Was given priority. Chorus: So, he never came back. No, he never came back. He was heard from never more. Poor old pater's in the ele vator Still waiting for his floor. i ' lb.!
