Business investment should rise moderately, partly because of the prospect of tax cuts and reforms. Consumer buying should increase and Eovernment purchases are ex pected to rise by $2 billion a quarter. Housing construction probably will continue at the 1962 level. INDIVIDUAL TAXES ; The initial phase of a tax cut should take effect July 1 to produce an immediate In crease in take home pay. Tax es should be cut in three stages, ultimately reducing the range of rates from tne cur rent 20 to 81 per cent of. in come to 14 to 65 per cent. Taxpayers in the lowest bracket would receive the largest cuts. This would add about S3 billion to expenda ble consumer income in the second half of this year and another $8 billion a year if the full range of cuts are el fective by 1965. CORPORATE TAXES Corporate tax cuts should add to individual Income .through increased dividends. Corporate tax cuts also are es sential to stimulate rapid ex- pansion and modernization of industrial plants, which will ;result in industrial growth and fuller employment. Re placement ot capital is not enough to increase the na tion's capacity to produce. There will be a recommenda tion made to cut corporate in come taxes, -retroactive to Jan. 1 of this year, from 30 to 22 per cent. Proposals will be made later to reduce, the corporate tax rale from 52 per cent to 47 per cent to In 'crease investment incentives. Effects On Rovanuas ; The proposed reductions will ease the burden on state and local governments be cause increased growth and prosperity will increase their revenues from existing rates. State and local governments need Increased revenues more than the federal government Their spending has increased 243 per cent since 1B48. Dur ing that period federal spend iing increased 166 per cent, State and local debts increas ed by 335 per cent during the period while the federal debt went up only 18 per cent. Fuluro Fiscal Policy : Congress should continue to work on a plan to give the president authority for a quick tax cut in case of a re cession. It also should appro priate the balance of the funds authorized for programs un der the public works acceler ation act as an effective anti recession Weapon. Transportation The need for regulation re mains, but technological changes permit greater reli ance on competition between transportation systems to in crease service and efficiency. The expanding federal high way system, further develop ment of airports, urban mass transportation systems, im provement of canals, rivers and harbors are all urgent problems needing Immediate attention. Action is urgently needed on the transportation message of 1962 calling for less regulation, consistent tax ation and user charges and support for metropolitan tran sit facilities. Institutions, Marktls Studies are being made of problems caused by growth of corporate pension funds, the role of federal lending and credit guarantee programs, and federal legislation and regulations on private finan cial institutions. These reports will be used by the advisory committee on labor-manage-mcnt policy, the budget bu reau, the treasury department and various federal credit agencies. PRICE OF SILVER Congressional action is needed to eliminate' the re quirement that the treasury support the price of silver. In order to release silver for coinage purposes, Congress also should repeal laws which prevent withdrawal of silver certificates. EMPLOYMENT LEGISLATION Legislation will be pro posed to increase the number of workers covered and the amount and duration of perm anent unemployment compen sation.

House Speaker Clarence Barton (D - Couquillc) said it would be a "sound practice." "I am all for building any buildings by bonding," he said. Senate President Ben Musa (D-The Dalles) said, "I can't see anything wrong with it if It can be done in the frame work of the law." "Those who want to be educated, let them ,ay for It," be said. The plan was suggested Friday by Sen. Alfred Corbett (D - Portland) and Rep. John Mosscr (R-Bcaverton). It would transfer a specific amount of student tuition money into a special fund to be used to finance bonds for instructional buildings, labor atories, and other classroom facilities. Replaced With Grant The money taken from the tuition lund would be re placed with a general fund grant. The plan is similar to the one now used to build dormitories. Corbett said today bonding attorneys have been asked for an opinion on the legality of the proposal. Barton noted telephone companies, power firms, hos pitals, and elementary and high schools all rely exten sively on bonding for capital construction. "I don't see why it doesn't make equally good sense for the state of Oregon," he said. Referring to hesitation over bonding, he added, "All we've done is neglect needs because of this holy cow."

Washington -tOTO- A report submitted to a presidential committee suggested today that juvenile offenders in rural and urban areas are different breeds of cats. Dr. Kenneth Polk, director of a group planning an all-out attack on youth problems in Lane county, Ore., told the President's C o m m 1 1 tee on J u v e nile Delinquency and Youth Crime that a different approach was needed in rural areas. "My Impression is that in rural areas a large propor tion of what is called delin quency could be more accur ately called hell-raising," Dr. Polk said. "The boys here (in Lane county) don't consider them selves delinquent, in fact they are insulted if you use that term, he said. 'To them, a delinquent is one who wears a black leather jacket, has a switchblade knife, has long hair combed into a ducktail, and wears motorcycle boots. Different Meaning 'The urban slum youths knows well that his behavior is criminal," he said. "The youth in the rural area may have serious problems, and may get into a lot of trouble, but it has a different meaning to them." All present data, he said, Indicate a great increase in delinquency in Lane county and other rural areas. "Yet these problems are very different than those found in the big cities," he said. "We don't have narcotics use, or large fighting gangs they're Just nonexistent." For example, he said, sta tistics show that the top youth offense in Lane county drinking accounts for 22.5 per cent of the juvenile ar rests in the area. In Loa Ang eles, he added, drinking is far down the list, accounting for only two per cent of court referrals. Difference In Perception 'I don't think there's any actual difference in the amount of drinking by juve niles in the two areas," Dr. Polk said, "I think there's just, a difference in the per ception of the problem. "In Lane county, drinking is considered serious enough to warrant court attention. I suspect that in Los Angeles, if the boys were just drinking, the police don't worry too much about it." The Lane county youth study board, which Dr. Polk directs, has been given a $129,000 grant by the Presi dent's committee to study youth problems. Sim liar grants have been made to 14 larger cities across the country.
