Q.I Would a tax reduction
Of Jan. 1. Hot. be aare , coniiaering mc orignicr economic
background?
A.i Probably, for the economy is perceptibly gathering
momentum on the upside. In fact, the odds arc increasing
that Congress may decide to
nlng Jan. 1.
O.i What might these changing circumstances do to the
fll.0 billion budget deficit projected tor the year starting
July 1?
A.: Reduce it. The government's tax take is likely to
rise above original (estimates because profits and paychecks
are rising above original estimates. The expenditure side of
the budget is due for some slashes. If tax reductions do not
take effect until 1984, this timing also will cut the estimated
deficit.
In Washington and in major financial centers across the
nation, there is rising confusion about the timing as well as
the details of the administration s tax rcaucuon-rciorm pro
gram the White House's primary legislative target for 1963.
The situation was confused enough before the economy
began to perk up. From the start, the President's reform
proposals were "poisonous" and most of them are dead.
His submission of a multi-billion dollar hike in spending
along with a substantial lax reduction progrem has arous
ed widespread concern about our record of budget deficits,
now comes this economic rebound.
Business Is raising its plans to invest in new factories
and equipment and the lag in this vital area of spending has
been a key explanation for the sluggishness in our economy
since 1(57. Consumers are apending freely for goods and
non-goods and every new survey emphasizes they intend to
continue' spending freely. As the economy enters its 27th
month of advance, it Is getting renewed vigor.
Why, then, in the face of certain budget deficits and an
Increasing public debt, should Congress vote tax reductions
for Individuals and corporations? Here are four basic reasons
why:
(1) Despite the fact that business Is increasing its invest
ment! la new plants and equipment, the record $40.1 billion
total. Just projected by McGraw-Hill for 1963 still is "short"
of What ft should be If we are to keep our industries fully
competitive. Instead of running around 7 per cent of our
Grass National Product, Douglas Greenwald, McGraw-Hill's
chief economist, figures It should be around 7v4 per cent
which would raise the 1983 total to 54 1 billion and greatly
spur our economy's growth. Businessmen admit that over
$1 billion of their 106344 spending directly results from the
Investment Incentives they were given last year in the form
of liberalised depreciation rulea and a tax credit against
purchase of new plants and equipment. Now tax cuts would
keep them Increasing their Investments and this would be
great news for alt of us.
(I) Good as the economy's performance is, It still is not
good etsMujh to cut Into our unemployment rate and then
Into Idle plant capacity In many of our Industries. Consum
ers will boost their buying of goods if more dollars arc left
In their pockets. Corporations will boost their Investment
In plants!! It their sales to consumers Increase and more
dollars are left in their cash registers. A continuing upturn
after 26 months of advance Is heartening, but the pace till
is not strong enough.
() Out tax structure Is obsolete, geared to war and
Inflation rather than today's realities, and a drag on our
growth. Were we in a recession, the cuts would ba urgent.
As It Is, Congress can vol a program with deliberation
and aaave us late a period of solid, sustained upturn.
(4) Expectation of tax reductions has been a factor in the
obvious improvement In confidence. Shelving the program
could Jolt confidence, abort this new upswing.
The fundamental argument for tax reduction always has
been that It Is needed to spur our growth, create enough
Sroftti and paychecks to provide the taxes to bring the
udget into balance. The argument Is as valid today as ever.

Man Must Marvel
At Mysteries of Creation
We all know mechanies who
can tear apart a television set
or an automobile or who can
delve understanding!? into the
complex workings of an elec
tronic brain, but no one, ap
parently, can tell exactly how,
or why, a knee-hinge works In
an Insect's leg that is smaller
than a speck of dust. This ap
pears more mystifying than
how a machine works.
The knee-hinge is only one
of the many mysteries In Na
ture. The more we ponder, the
more we should realize how
very limited our knowledge
is, when measured against the
magnitude of living things.
Even our human ego must
admit that the night itself is
bigger than all the works of
man put together. We must
view with awe the regularity
of the seasons; the morning,
the day and even the rain that
falls; the fluctuations of cold
and warm air that cause the
winds to blow.
We know that rain is little
more than the condensation
of moisture, a simple funda
mental fact, the law of heat
ing, cooling and condensing,
but it's marvelous just the
same. We know, too, that
those raindrops, falling
through the atmosphere are
carrying more than just wa
ter. A Timid Look
Timidly we look with be
wilderment at the restless
bosom of great waters and try
to adjust our limited perspec
tive to a thing of this magni
tude and the complexity of the
life that lives within it.
Even mountains are not as
inspiring, for in time they can
be worn and eroded away,
but still the waters of the seas
will be intact. In the presence
of the ocean, we should stand
aghast, for the sea is eternal.
Even the penetrating eye
of the X-ray cannot explain
the mysterious and silent
changes that follow their
measured course within the
tissues of a worm as it changes
its shape and character within
the confines of a cocoon. Meta
morphosis, we call it, but it's
hard to understand the com
plex process.
The arrangement and
growth of genes, and all the
other peculiar things that
change a fluid inside an egg to
a living bird, Is rather con
fusing. No thinking person
can observe the result the
birth of a living bird complete
with all its facilities without
wondering about the miracle
of it.
How Trail a Life
How very frail a life glows
within the tissues of a moth
or a butterfly. How delicate
and seemingly fragile, as
though a light breeze could
destroy it yet the creature
lives, flies and is driven by a
powerful force we call in
stinct, a more compelling
force titan a human mind can
comprehend.
Pretty difficult to think
that the fluids inside an insect
egg can separate and reorg
anize themselves into nerus,
legs, jaws, digestive organs
and all the other parts that go
to make up a living creature.
But somehow or other it is all
accomplished, effectively and
silently.
A microscope can show us a
cell growing, multiplying and
dividing, but it can't show us
exactly how or why All these
things and many more should
amaze us Even if we think
we have it all figured out. we
might glance up into the night j
sky or stand aghast at the
edge of the sea. still pretty
much a stranger to us. and I
marvel at the profound mys
tery of creation.

Iodine in the Blood
People are sometimes puz
zled because a "breathing
test" for activity of the thy
roid gland
(the eland in
the front of
the neck
which, when
enlarged, is a
groiter) show
ed a decided
i n a c t i vity,
while the
P. B. I. (or
measuremen t
of the "protein-bound-iodlne"
in the blood) indicated a rie.
cided overactivity.
A number of these people
tell me that their doctor,
when faced with these con
flicting reports, gave them
pills of thyroid substance to
take each day. Most of these
people - almost all of them
women - say that all the drug
did was to make them jittery
and very nervous. This means
usually that the thyroid func
tion was normal, and hence
the medicine was not needed
and not tolerated. If it had
been needed, the woman
would have felt immensely
better as soon as she started
taking it.
Many readers ask. "But can
the result of a laboratory test
be wrong?" Of course it can;
lab workers are human like
the rest of us, and it is human
to make mistakes. One of the
sad features about modern
medicine is that when we doc
tors are given a laboratory re
port that is fairly obviously
erroneous, it does not occur to
us to send the patient back
for a check-up. We look on
reports of laboratory tests as
Holy Writ. But they aren't.
Especially reports of P. B. I.
measurements can easily be
wrong because in this test the
amount of iodine must be
measured In thousandths of a
thousandth of a gram (a gram
Is a fourth of a teaspoonful).
Obviously, only a well-trained
chemist can hope to make
such a measurement with accuracy.

Washington - ilTt - Good

ten go through
a difficult pe
riod of adjust
ment. Getting
acclimati zed
to life in t h e
capital isn't
easy under
the best of
c o n d i tions.
for some, it is
west a series of
traumatic experiences, not the
least of which is meeting the
Washington press corps.
Such was the case of Ladd
Plumley, an estimable Wor
cester, Mass., insurance exec
utive who has just completed
a year of service here as pres
ident of the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce.
Plumley's term of office ex
pires this week and as a part
ing gesture he gave a lunch
for a group of us newsmen
who either had written some
thing about his tenure or, as
the invitation said, had
"threatened to."
It was a most pleasant af
fair and was capped oft by
a short speech by the host
entitled "Plumley's farewell
to the troops."
As a sociological document,
casting insight upon the trib
ulations of public figures, I
think it ranks with another
Plumley speech entitled "Cli
ches my grandfather taught
me.''
There are, Plumley told us,
"two truly tense moments that
came to all Chamber of Com
merce presidents.
"The first is when he meets
the press and tries to answer
their questions as frankly as
good taste and a decent sense
of responsibility will permit.
"The second is when he
tries to explain to his friends
that he didn't really say it
that way."
These denials, Plumley add
ed, "take a little more skill"
when the press conference is
televised.
Plumley recalled that- "I
made my Washington debut
early last year before the
National Press club, where
I outlined the chamber's po

"It was a memorable occa
sion," he said, and "I came
away impressed by your grasp
of public affairs."
What impressed him most,
however, was a question about
his haberdashery. A reporter
noted that he was wearing a
hard collar and asked if it
were detachable.
"I assured him that it was,
that I always wore hard, de
tachable collars-, and that in
Worcester they were consid

Plumley said.
"That appeared to satisfy
