WHAT TAX CUT DEBATE ACHIEVED Several significant pluses for the United Slates have come nul of this summer's extraordinary debate over a tax cut now to spur our sluggish economy-even though on the sur face the result of the whole argument appears to be a flat "nothing now." Here are four of them: . (1) The debate focused the nation's attention as never before on the extent to which the huge tax load being car ried by businessmen and individual taxpayers is retarding our expansion - and this new public awareness that our tax rales are, as the President said, "so high as tn weaken the very essence of the progress of a free society" marks pro gress indeed. Not in memory lias there been a debate on our tax sys tem's defects so frank, so objective, so informed-and so widesprcad-as this summer. When this past January in his Economic Report, the President declared, "Later this year, I shall present to the Congress a major program of tax re form" which "will re-examine tax rates" and be aimed "al strengthening of incentives for individual effort and for pro ductive investment." few people heard his promise (and prob- ably fewer remember he made the promise that long ago). Bui when in June he said, "Our lax structure . . . ex erts loo heavy a drain on a prospering economy" and pledged lo offer lo the next Congress a program for "an across-lhe-board reduction in personal and corporate in come lax rates,1' millions got the message. And when in his address lo the nation August 14 rejecting an Immediate lax cut, bul repealing he would offer a 1963 bill to "in clude an across-the-board, lop-lo-bollom cui in both cor-., porate and personal income taxes." the entire nation and . free world was listening. After decades of piling lax on lax and then cuttinq in a most haphazard way, we are at last on our way lo basic reform. (2) The debate has created some startling new lineups among business and labor leaders, among "liberal" and "con servative" lawmakers, and shattered alliances that seemed unbreakable - another good omen for positive action on tax reform in coming months. On the same day-June ZR-that (he U.S. Chamber of Commerce called for a tax reduction, Waller Rcuthcr of the United Auto Workers came out for lax cuts loo. Their pro grams are different, but their objectives are the same-stimulating the economy. While the president of duPont was urg ing Congress to give top priority to personal lax ruts, a De troit union leader was saying, "business should have some relief too. As for the shattered alliances, the most spectacular is the break between Senator Byrd, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and the Chamber of Commerce. Never before has the Chamber been denounced for "fiscal irrespon sibility in the highest degree" and rarely has the Virginia Senator been so shrill as when he denounced the business group's program as "untimely, dangerous and panicky." 13) It has forced thinking people for the first time in years to ask some of the right questions about our economy's unsatisfactory rate of growth in recent ycars-again a great plus, because only when we ask the right questions will we come to the right answers for ourselves. Why is il thai our growth rate has slowed while other industrial nations have been pushing ahead? Is one key reason that we have saddled ourselves with an intolerable tax burden io finance our worldwide operations? Is tax relief a sound way to stimulate the creation of jobs and pay checks? Is it not time for us lo reappraise all our fis cal (lax, budget, debt) policies and consider lhe formulas which have worked with such superb success In Europe? We asked many of the right questions in the lax dobale; lhe right answers are in lhe making. (I) finally, lhe debate paved the way for 1 lie rediietinn rrforin bill in 1 a hill which would slash the lop 91 per cenl rale on individuals, cut the 20 per cenl bottom rate, scale reductions in between and reduce the 52 per cent cor porate lax rale loo. The debate over "whether" to cul tuxes has been finished; the answer is yes. The debate over "when" also is finished if the President's staled timetable is accepted. The cuts will be effective Jan. 1, or Kit) days from now. The question is down to "what type" and even this is partly answered by the words "across-the-board, top-lo-botlom " This tax-cul-we-flirin'l-get may turn out lo have Ihnmi a turning poinl in our efforts lo get our economy growing powerfully again.

(UPI) Missing UN Charter Causes Big Stir in State Department Washington --IIJPII- The scare is over now, and lhe story can be told. But for a panicky moment the State Department thought it had lost the orig inal copy of the United Na tions Charter. It was a lady school teacher visiting from out of town who started it all. She called up the Slate Department one day last week in a huff.

"I read the Charter, and Article 111 says that's where it is." v Article 111 of the Charter, signed June 26, 1945, says, "The present Charter, of which the Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish texts are equally authentic, shal remain deposited in the archives of the government of the United Slates of Amer- j ica." J Never Heard of II "Well," said the school . teacher, "I've just asked the j National Archives for a look j at it, and they don't have it. They never heard of it." A Stale Department official checked with Archives. Sure enough, it wasn't there-only : two certified copies. With visions of the whole legal structure of world law i tumbling down, officials , checked further and found j thai the original Charter has for some time been gathering dust at a secret U. S. govern ment depository al Front Royal, Va., in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Slate Department It self apparently put it there for safe keeping In case of nuclear attack. "The existence of this de pository," an official told UPI, "has recently been de classified. Bul I can't tell you any more than that." The area is known for its underground caves. May Go on Display The State Department is now looking into the possibil ity of getting the Charter out again, dusting il off and put ting il on display somewhere, perhaps during United Na- starting Oct. 24. Robert H. Bahmcr. deputy archivist of the United Slates, said he isn't quite sure why the Charter never was given lo National Archives. "We made some inquiries lo get it in 1945," Ballmer said, "but we got turned down." The U. S. Constitution? A spot check showed it's still under glass in the exhibit room of the Archives building.
