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

come from a new limitation
on the deductions individual
taxpayers now may take for
such things as expenses, and
local and state taxes.
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.

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.

Water Fight Threat
Noted in California
Sacramento - OIPII - The
north-south argument over
water at one time believed
to have been solved by Gov.
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.

By stimulating mass demand, advertising helped create a

more and more were made. The more of them made, the
less each one cost Result: new and better electric light
bulbs mass produced for more people at lower prices by
America's remarkable and competitive economic system.
