Administration
Revamps Plan
For Tax Reduction
Washington -113PD The Ken
nedy administration today re
vamped its plan for cutting
everybody's income taxes. The
new plan, effective next Jan
1, would provide net reduc
tions of $10.6 billion, phased
over a two-year period.
The revised formula com
pares with the. original plan
under which individual and
corporate income taxes would
have been reduced about
$10.3 billion, with the cuts
taking effect in three stages
on July 1, 1963, Jan. 1, 1964,
and Jan. 1, 1965.
Treasury Secretary Douglas
Dillon outlined the new plan
in testimony at a closed ses
sion of the House Ways and
Means Committee.
Main Elements
Three three main elements
of the revised plan:
-Individual tax rates would
range from 14 to 70 per cent.
That compares with the pres
ent schedule of 20 to 91 per
cent and with the original
plan to cut rates to a 14 to 65
per cent range.
-The tax rate on corpora
tions would be cut to 48 per
cent. That compares with the
present rate of 52 per cent
and the original proposal of
a 47 per cent rate. The first
$25,000 of corporate income
would be taxed at 23 Der cent,
instead of the existing rale of
30 per cent. The original pro
posal would have cut this rate
to 22 per cent.
- Revisions in the income
tax structure would . yield
$690 million in new revenue,
compared with the S3. 2 bil
lion originally proposed, jet
tisoning many of the original
proposals.

Nation Urged To
Keep Superiority
Washington UP1 Secretary
of State Dean Rusk urged
Senate approval of the nu
clear test ban treaty today
and promised President Ken
nedy would abrogate the pact
"overnight" to resume at
mospheric testing if Russia
violated it.
Rusk told three Senate
committees that he believes
the Soviet Union, which
looked Into the pit of the in
ferno" in the Cuban crisis,
would violate the test treaty
if it felt this would serve its
interest.
But he said he felt events
of the past year gave Soviet
leaders and others a look at
nuclear war as an "operational
matter for the first time.
"In this day you don't play
the game called 'chicken' with
the lives of millions of people
around the world," he said.
In a morning session, dra
matic with historic overtones.
Rusk told the Senate foreign
relations and armed service
committees and members of
the House-Senate Atomic En
ergy Committee that:
-The Big Three treaty pro
hibiting all but underground
nuclear tests is not based on
trust of Russia. "You do not
stake the life of a great nation
on trust."
-The United States "must
maintain a very large overall
nuclear superiority with re
gard to Russia - not just a bal
anced force. But, Rusk said,
he believes that if unlimited
testing were to continue a
"kind of technical standoff"
wuuiu rcsun. ine
superior, he said
would result. The U. S. is now
This government would
not have to wait 90 days to
withdraw from the nuclear
pact if Russia cheated and
conducted prohibited tests.
which he said the U.S. could
detect."When the . gut ot a
treaty collapses we are not
limited to the 90-day with
drawal clause," he assured the
senators.
No 'Internal' Details
President Kennedy could
''terminate the treaty imme-
I diately , . . overnight," if the
Soviets violated it. He said
the treaty did not deal with
"internal" details, such as
whether Congress or the Pres
ident could abrogate it. Ken
nedy could act immediately.
he said.
Sen. Leverett Staltonstall .
(R-Mass.), one of those who
attended the treaty-signing in
Moscow last week, asked why
Russia agreed to the pact.
Rusk said he believed the
Soviets concluded it was "in
their interests."
In the past year, for the
first time the nuclear powers
had a look at nuclear ex
change as an operational mat
ter, he said, in a reference
to the Cuban missile crisis.
"Man had a chance to look
into the pit of the inferno."
Rusk said U.S. preparations
for nuclear weapons tests
could proceed, under the
treaty, "up to the point of
explosion itself." He said the
United States should, for ex
ample, maintain and improve
its .atmospheric test facilities
on Johnson Island in the Pa
cific to Insure against getting
caught short by sudden treaty
violations.
Rusk, testifying before an
overflow crowd in the Sen
ate caucus room, said the
United States has not forgot
ten the lessons of its dealings
with Russia since the end of
World War II.
But he concluded that any
"marginal risks" in the treaty
are "far less' than those which
would result if an unlimited
nuclear arms race continued.

ing a left turn, according to
police.
Conover and his passenger,
Josephine Conover, 53, same
