WOULD YOU SPEND SAVINGS FROM A TAX CUT? Would you, as an individual or businessman taxpayer. Immediately start spending the extra dollars left in your pockctbook or cash register by a substantial tax reduction on all sorts of things and non-things and thereby give our lagging economy the boost it so obviously needs? Or would you squirrel most of the additional money into savings and thereby largely defeat the objective of a tax slash? Before suggesting what you might do, let it be clear that nagging doubt of your actions has been a factor undermining support of a tax cut now to stimulate business activity. Some respected experts testifying before Congress have declared flatly that any forecast that you would spend your tax savings is only an "assumption" because, say they in effect, "The United States has no previous experience to guide us on the reaction of American consumeis and corporations to tax cuts designed to bolster the economy, for we've not used this weapon for this purpose before. Nor have Europe's ex periments given us valuable guidance. You might spend the money freely or you might not. There's just no certainty either way. No matter when the tax reductions come and if there's postponement now. It'll only be a postponement the question about your reaction still must be answered. It is true, then, that we have no guidance on what con sumers and businessmen might do with the extra dollars? It is not true. We do have guidance. We do have pre cedents What's more, the weight of the evidence is that indi viduals and corporations will spend most of the extra take home pay and Income, not save it. Precedent: In 1B50, the Veterans Administration declared o major insurance dividend rebate. The record indicates GIs spent nearly 80 per cent of the extra funds at once on goods and services. Precedent: In 1054, Congress voted a 10 per cent de duction In personal Income taxes, a reduction in excise taxes and eliminated the excess profit tax too a tax slash totaling $7.4 billion a year. The country was then In a recession and as A. W. Zclomek, president of the Inter national Statistical Bureau and professor at the University of Virginia's Graduate School of Business Administration, points out, this was "the first recession when scheduled tax reductions went Into effect on a large scale." What happened? Virtually all the money (lowod im mediately into the spending stream; the rate of saving continued the same. While employment and production dropped sharply, personal Incomes after taxes actually rose and consumer buying hardly faltered. Toward the nd of 1954, we took off again on a powerful advance. Statistic: Numerous surveys emphasize that the "un predictable consumer" is quite predictable and in Zelomek's words, "total coniisumcr spending shows a regular relation ship to consumer Income and the consumer's financial cir cumstances. " Of every extra dollar we get, we spend about 8fl cents for retail products and services, another 10 cents for residences, farm machinery, other equipment. Says Zelomek, "It is logical to conclude that the consumer will spend 86 cents of what he gains through tax reduction." Statistic: Reliable studies also indicate that each SI of tnx reduction will add $2.5 billion to the nation's total out put because of the so-called multiplier effect. To Illustrate: when you spend an extra dollar at the supermarket, the supermarket owner In turn will spend an extra dollar at the appliance shop, the appliance dealer In turn will spend an extra dollar at the clothing store and so on and on. The same multiplier effect applies to corporation tax reductions with studies suggesting a $2.5 billion corporation tax re duction would add around $5 billion to our country's total J output. Normal Babies Born After Thalidomide Used by 207 Women Wachln0(nnJTtPn Tha haii. that, tnr., U J . ui i . ' Washlngton-flJPD - The gov ernment reported Tuesday that thalidomide was distrib uted In this country to 207 pregnant women and nearly all of them have given birth to normal babies. The report by the Food and Drug Administration did not pinpoint how many already delivered their babies without deformity and how many are still awaiting the birth of their babies. Anthony J. Celcbrezze, sec retary of health, education and welfare, said results of the Food and Drug Adminis tration's pill-by-pill survey were "reassuring" so far. Cclebrezze told his first news conference that 15,904 patients apparently received thalidomide from doctors in this country. 207 Expectant Mothers About one out of every five or 372 were women of childbearing age and 207 were expectant mothers when they took the drug that has been blamed for deformities in Europe. "No abnoralities were ob served in the offspring of these patients," Celcbrezze said In a statement. But he said the FDA had no information on how many of the women took the tran quilizer drug during the first three months of pregnancy generally regarded as the greatest period of danger. Many of the women, he said, were given thalidomide in the later stages of pregnancy. The FDA said interviews have now been completed with 1,097 doctors of 1,248 reported involved in thalido mide distribution in this coun try. A total of 74 doctors still had thalidomide on hand when the survey was made but the supplies of 22,948 tab lets have been destroyed, im pounded by local authorities or collected as official sam Pies. The remaining doctors who had the drug are on vacation but the survey is being com pleted as rapidly as possible, officials noted. ing age in California and 412 A state-by-state breakdown women in this category in furnished by the FDA Indi- Missouri. These two states ac cated that the drug was used counted for almost one third by 578 women of child-bear- of the women in this age group who received the drug. Asked if the absence of childbirth deformities was suprising in view of Euro pean experience, Cclebrezze said, "we are pleased by it." But he cautioned that the investigation is not complete because some patients may have given the drug to their friends even though it is sup posed to be used only by doc tor's prescription.

Dennis P, - I think it's im portant to share our travels with others. Loretta P. - We're leaving for a motor tour to interest ing spots in Missouri like In dependence, Hannibal and the Jcspe James farm. But if this vacation is going to be anything like its predeces sors, I know what's in store and I don't like It. I'll spend most of the time posing in front of historic sites and statues of generals on horses. And for what? Just so Den nis can bore our friends with his snapshots, slides and movies. I know how bored I gel myself when someone button holes me and makes me ex claim over his pictures of donkeys or his shots of flying-fish. They're really only Interesting to the guy who took them. Why can't we just relax this time? Dennis can buy a few picture postcards at each stop, just to help him bring it all back at home. Ot course, we can't know positively what will happen until we try the tax reduction. Butt we do know that with out a major new push, there's not much hope, if any, for any "automatic" stimulant suddenly appearing to help us get moving up strongly once more and without a spur, about the best we can anticipate Is that we'll muddle through at this inadequate rate of growth until something can be done in 1963. Dennis P. I feel that since we're fortunate enough to be able to get away and drive to Interesting places, we should try to re-create our experien ces for our friends who never sort out the total display and isolate a few pictures which may interest your friends for good reasons, not just your desire to talk! Good reasons would be that A. is planning a similar trip, B. has just re turned from ditto, C. had a funny experience in the same bistro you patronized, etc. Thirty minutes of such a pro gram is worth presenting. Be glad, Loretta, if your plea leads Dennis to take on ly one instead of three ca meras this time. You've alert ed him to the possibility that the people he says takes all thore pictures for may not be engrossed at all but are mere ly polite. ;! Jral "the , ffSfe BRAND NEW t 5k G.E.

The Council: Querying among our camera-hound "authorities" as well as mem bers of their audiences, we have a consensus for Dennis which leans heavily toward Lorettas views - at least in regard to producing trave logues for one's friends. Says one who both takes 'cm (pijtl and gives 'em (spiels): "I've learned that 30 minutes is all most people can stand, no matter how loy ally I hey beseech you to go on. That's enough' time to prove you were there, to show you know the Louvre from the Merchandise Mart and to help your friends de cide whether that's a place they want to add to their list - or ele avoid assiduously."
