M tmt .-off- L Congressmen Fast Casting Aside Kennedy's Proposals for Tax Reform wig tap lee DDIS Washington JUPD- Congress clasped President Kennedy's proposed $13.6 billion tax cut gingerly to Its bosom today. But the off-setting "reforms" he wanted as part of the pack age were fast being cast aside. One man's tax "loophole," it appeared, Is always anoth er's vested right, and usually is essential to the national welfare besides. Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La.), House Democratic whip and a close friend and supporter of the President, put It more succinctly than most. "In my opinion," Boggs said, "the tax reduction bill will pass in this' session of Congress, but as I have said in the past, I doubt seriously if any of the so-called tax re forms will be adopted at this time." Kennedy told his news con. ference Thursday it was "very important" that Congress en act both tax cuts and reforms. It would be unwise, tie said, 10 pass tax cuts without approv ing revenue producing re. forms. If the new revenue isn't produced, then the tax cuts will have to be reduced, he said. Kennedy said in his tax message he hoped to recoup $3.4 billion of the estimated loss under the cut by elim nating certain "unwarranted special privileges" under ex isting law. Part of this recovery would gj Our First Anniversary r "v n n t 1 n Hurry! Ends Saturday! OPEN 9 to 9 ALL FAMOUS BRANDS g The Westerner Jp !

The oil and gas industry, which traditionally has en joyed a special 274 per cent depletion allowance, also would have to pay more. The home building Industry already was organizing a fight against the curb on de ductions, on the ground It would eliminate one of the incentives to home ownership and thus work against the continued prosperity of this vital segment of the economy. Lawmakers generally spoke favorably of the need for a tax cut, and Chairman Wilbur D. Mills' (D-Ark.) set up early hearings to start Feb. 6 -on the President's plan.

DICK KNIGHT CO., 33 jS. Riverside, Medford, Oregon Lower Food Prices Credited For Index Change Washington -(UP!)- The co3t of living registered its sharp est monthly dip in four years in December, mainly because of lower food prices. But cold weather Is expected to send food costs up again this month. This was reported today by Robert J. Myers, deputy com missioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He said the December drop of two-tenths of 1 per cent was the greatest monthly decline since 1958 in the department's consumer price index. Drop Twice as Sharp Myers said the December decline was twice as sharp as the usual drop for the month. This trimmed the price index to 109.8 per cent of the 1957-59 average both for December and for the year as a whole. The commissioner said the hard freezes, particularly in the South and the Southwest, were expected to cause a "substantial Jump" in food prices during January. He indicated this meant the overall cost of living prob ably would rise about two tenths of 1 per cent, or back to the November level of 106 per cent. Fruit, Poultry Down Food prices fell six-tenths of 1 per cent in December. This was due largely to sub stantial reductions in prices of fresh fruits, poultry and pork before effects of harsh freezes were felt. Oranges dropped 13.3 oer cent because of earlier pros pects lor good production. Myers said they now are ex pected to rise sharply because of recent severe freezes in Florida. The over -all price index last month was three-tenths of 1 per cent below the all time high reached last Sep tember. The food price sec tion, at 103.5, was 1.2 per cent below the September peak but 1.5 per cent higher than in December, 1961.

Edmund G. Brown's water plan, is breaking out anew in the 1963 legislature. But this time it could very well be an urban versus ru ral battle. Assemblyman Edwin L. Z'berg (D-Sacramento) said to day he was ready to start the battle in the lower chamber -and chances are it will be picked up in the senate. "I think people are just be ginning to realize that farm ers aren't going to be able to afford water from the state water program," Z'berg told a newsman. Would Grant Subsidy As a result, he said, he will Introduce a bill to grant a subsidy to farmers who can not afford the tariff for state water. Under Z'berg's proposal, the state department of water resources would determine who could or could not afford to pay the going rate for wa ter. If they could not afford the going rale, the farmers would get the water for what ever they could pay but they would be limited in the amount of acres they could ir rigate with the water. Z'berg said he also would introduce a bill to provide a public power preference for the power generated by the water projeot. But it would not necessar ily grant a subsidy to public power agencies. The bill would allow the state to de cide what was a reasonable rate for the public agency to pay. If this happened to be lower than the bid of a pri vate agency, the state would be able to grant the power. Opposed To Bill But, as an indication of the kind of opposition such bills face, Assemblyman Car ley V. Porter ID-Compton), chairman of the lower cham ber water committee, had this to say: "I'll be against any bills like that." In other actions Sen. Don ald Grunsky (R-Watsonville) introduced a bill Thursday to repeal a two-year-old law that requires school districts to spend between 50 and 60 per cent of their incomes on teachers' salaries.
