Recalling Tox Cut Clamor
Makes Lots of Simian Uncles
EY PETER EDSON */
NEA W-uliiCorrespondent
WASHINGTON — (NEA) — It's always .'uu to see where the
experts go wrong. But the record piled up by economists and busi-
ness big shots who advocated a tax cut as the only way to puil tbe
country out of recession is truly amazing.
As nearly everyone now knows or can see. the country is recov-
eriug all right without having had the benelit of tax cuts.
It must be recognized that suir.e ol the important people advo-
cating cuts in the last s>ix months were us in;; the recession as an
excuse. They weren't so much interested in curing the recession
as in lowering their own lax bills. But look, now. how wrong their
arguments seem, in the light of hindsight and second guessing.,
RECALL THAT THE RECESSION became evident in December.
On Jan. 2, Robert Nathan of Americans tor Democratic Action
advocated a three- to live-billion tax cut. ►
Jan. 13, National Association of Manufacturers and U.S. Chamber
of Commerce Mcials testified before Hoiiae Ways and Means Com-
mittee tor substantial tax cuts immediately. •
Jan. 30, General Motors President Harlow Curtice asked Con-
gress to vote a tax cut to stimulate business .
Ford Vice President Theodore Yntenu told a Senate subcommittee
on Feb. 5 that the depression "would vanish like mist under the
sun" with an income tax moratorium.
On Feb. 1U Dr. Arthur Burns, formerly chairman of President
Eisenhower's Economic Council, said he s„w no evidence to back
up the President's forecast for an upturn. Burns called for "mas-
sive" government intervention as the only means to end the slump.
National Planning Assn. issued a 165-page study of the American
economy in early March. It rccommL-nded tax reduction and publi**
works to prevent a "full-scale downswing."
ABOUT THIS TIME some members of the President's ouiciai .
family began to get a little jittery. Labor Sec. Mitchell said if
-nemployment did not ease he would recommend tax cuts Former
A.'ty. Gen. Herbert Browncll said there were sound arguments in
favor of tax cuts if the recession did not end by summer. And
Vice President Nixon said he favored a tax cut over other recession
remedies, though he did not recommend immediate reduction.
Only Treasury Sec. Robert B. Anderson stnek to his guns against
tax cuts.
STILL THE CLAMOR CONTINUED." AFL-CIO leaders issued a
statement of a five-billion-dollar slash to spur consumption.
March 29 Business Week ran a full-page editorial concluding,
"the logic of the situation calls for a tax cut."
US Chamber of Commerce President Phillip M Talbott toid
Congress April 12 a tax cut would arrest the recession.
Ex-President Harry S. Truman advocated a tive-billion-dollar tax
cut for lower income families, but a raise for other taxes to make
up for it.
Former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Marriner S. Eccies said
the recession would get worse unless taxes were cut.
An economic report by 17 distinguished economists, issued by the
Rockefeller Brothers Fund on April 20, said the recession was rela-
tively moderate. But it called for a tax cut. \
J P. Morgan's Chairman Henry Alexander recommended an
across-the-board percentage tax cut of five billion dollars or more
as a quick recession cure as late as May IB.
President Eisenhower was criticized freely when he declared
against tax cuts 10 days later. ,
There were other demands for tax cuts from Leon Keyserling,
AFL-CIO and Council of State Chambers of Commerce in June.
