HJPI) Cennedy Announces Long-Awaited Fax Break for Nation's Businessmen Washington - IIIPIl - The na tion's businessmen today have a new set of tax rules design ed to save them $1.5 billion a year and put more muscle into the economy. President Kennedy an nounced the long-awaited tax break Wednesday night re vised ta depreciation sched ules that allow businessmen and farmers to write off their deteriorating equipment fast er. A congressional Democrat said "it should convince some businessmen that Kennedy doesn't hate businessmen aft er all." The administration r- prod ded Increasingly to propose a general income tax cut Ibis year instead of waiting until next year - will be watching the economy . closely to see the effect of the new relief. But informed sources pre dicted that despite the big tax break, chances are bet ter than 50-50 that Kennedy will reverse his position next month and decide to go for a big - but temporary - tax cut for everyone. It would be tem porary so that he would have j a "swectner" in the form of permanent tax relief tn in clude in general tax reform I legislation next year. ' Sources felt that the deci sion on a reduction in in come taxes will depend larg ely on the fate ot Kennedy's tax credit proposal, now in a Senate committee, which would mean Hnothcr $1.2 bil lion break for business. If this is passed, sources said, "it might he that these two lax cuts will he enough In avoid doing anything more this year."

"By encouraging American I business to replace ils ma- ! chinery more rapidly," Ken nedy said, "we hope to make American products more cost- competitive, to slop up our rate of recovery and growth and to provide expanded job opportunities for all Amer ican workers." In combination with his pending tax credit legisla tion, Kennedy said, it would "put American producers on a comparable tax footing with their foreign competitors, to increase our snare of both foreign and domestic markels, and thus protect our balance of inlernalional payments and gold reserves." Businessmen had been up crating since 1P42 under Bul letin F, a depreciation guide line that they claimed was highly unrealistic, Treasury officials agreed. National Guard, Stale Hospital Shortages Cited Salem -lUPIi-Atty. Gen. Rob ert Y. Thornton today focused attention on what he called "growing scandals" in the Re publican Hatfield administra tion. The Democratic nominee for governor listed the recent em bezzlement of $25,000 in pa tients' funds at the State Hos pital here, and the shortage of National Guard property at Camp Withycombe, "an nounced as $6,000 worth but obviously much more if in fact heavy equipment was taken. Daily Exchange Thornton's attack was an other in what has become al most a daily verbal exchange of blows between Thornton and Gov. Mark Hatfield. Thornton also criticized the all-Republican Board of Con trol for what he termed the board's "sudden interest" in eliminating surety company bonds on state employees han dling public money. This interest, Thornton said, in "cutting private bonding companies out of the state bonding field should cause the public to wonder what's up." "Could it be that the gover nor is afraid of the growing scandals in his administra tion?" Thornton said. Sounds Like Competition Elimination of private sure ly bonds, and substituting a system whereby the state would insure itself, Thornton said, sounds like government competing wilh private busi ness "which was so recently and roundly condemned at the Republican state convention in Bend." Hatfield issued a one para graph statement saying "this is another example of the at torney general's failure to do his homework in his desperate search for headlines. Earlier this week he cast reflections on the integrity of the Su preme court and now he ques tions (he fidelity ot the mass of state employees." Legislature May Be Asked To Make Up Part of Hospital Embezzlement Loss Salem-iUPIi-The Slate Board of Control apparently will have to ask the 1963 legisla ture to make up part of $25, 840, loss at the stale hospital caused by embezzlement by a former clerk, it was indi cated today. The embezzler, Cecil Stin nettc, was convicted and is serving three years in the Ore gon Correctional Institution. Stinnette took the funds from the trust accounts of dozens of patients at the hos pital. These are private funds of the patients held for them while they are patients. Stinnette was bonded, but only for $10,000. That much has been recovered, as well as Stinnette's last paycheck, $.162, which was applied to the loss. Where the rest of the mon ey will come from hasn't been decided yet, but the indication is the legislature will be asked to appropriate at least part of it. Douglas DeCew, director of state audits, said that $9,000 Guidebook Published About Mentally III New York-'UPU-Every year some member of one in about four families behaves so ab normally he lands in a hospi tal where he can get psychia tric care. Edith M. Stern makes that point in a "Mental Illness A Guide for the Family," The booklet contains helpful in formation for relatives of the mentally ill. of the $15,000 shortage was owed to the hospital by the patients for their care during the period in 1960-61 when Stinnetle did the embezzling. This would leave about $6,000 that apparently will have to come from the state's general fund unless another $10,000 bond - that on Hos pital Superintendent Dean Brooks - is activated. Brooks' bond has not been activated. If it is. the state would recov er but Brooks would be liablt for the $10,000 with the bond ing company. If Brooks' tond were acti vated, the total with Stin nette's bond would be $20,000 - still $5,000 short of the amount embezzled - unless the $9,000 owed by the patients could be applied.
