FACE FORMIDABLE OBSTACLES:

a general tax increase.
The going is rugged, against
formidable obstacles. But at least
some main targets are being iden-,
tified. Two of the principal ones
are the 271 per cent oil depletion
alowance, whose opponents have
campaigned for years in vain, and
the provision that allows capital
gains to be inherited without tax.I
The administration says it is

ance on oil from 27'2 to 15 per
cent and it would provide for cap-
ital gains taxes to apply at the
time of a taxpayer's death to the
added value his holdings had ac-
quired. Present law relieves the
heirs of this burden. Daniel's bill
would end the tax exemption on
interest bonds issued by munici-j

exert some pressure.
A principal idea-man in the tax
reform drive is Rep. Henry S.
Reuss (D-Wis). Reuss is not a
member of the Ways and Means
Committee, but he ranks high on
the House Banking and Senate-
House E c o n o m i c committees,

No Indication Reform Considered
The drive to include tax changes
so far has been conducted out-
side the Ways and Means Com-
mittee, which will decide the form
of the bill-if any-on which the
House votes yes or no.
There has been no indication
that the committee, whose hear-
ings are in recess until Sept. 12, is
considering tax code changes now.
But some proponents of these are
hoping that when the vote-wise
committee chairman, Rep. Wilbur
D. Mills (D-Ark), takes his sound-
ings he will decide .to sweeten any
tax increase with some revisions
that might convince the average
taxpayer he isn't carrying the
whole load, but that others are
giving up advantages they have
enjoyed.

President's Economic COuH4
Steel Industry's Planned Pr

WASHINGTON ( )-The John-
son administration is likely to get
more noisy over future industrial
price increases in the wake of last
week's verbal volley at the steel
industry for raising the price of
bars 1.8 per cent.
It was the first public denun-
ciation of a price hike by the
President's Council of Economic
Advisers since last Jan. 12. .
But one source said yesterday

the critical shots are likely to be
fired more frequently now if bus-
inessmen continue to raise prices
in defiance of administration
wishes.
Although the outcry last week
failed to roll back prices, Gardner
Ackley, Council chairman, said
he would have been derelict in
his duties if he had withheld pub-
lic reaction.
The Council has worked behind
the scenes for more than six
months in its, attempts to con-
vince industry it should hold the
price line. It hasn't been com-
pletely successful but until last
Thursday the Council saw no need
to revert to the public fireworks
which greeted many wage and
price increases last year.
The blast at steel, one govern-
ment source said, proves the Coun-
cil still believes in its wage-price
guidelines 'which fell into disuse
during the first half of this year
but which the Council considers
far from dead.
Price Increases
The past two months, he added,
have seen price increases through-
out the economy and lie said he
wonders why key businessmen do
not take a stand against further
increases. "Maybe nobody should
speak for the public interest," he

ited and selective orm a consist-
ent pattern of higher prices for
almost half the steel produced in
the nation, Ackley said.
Productivity
Ackley also plugged again for
tying wage gains to productivity
although the Council last January
abandoned the specific 3.2 pro-
ductivity figure it used during 1966
and saw shattered by many wage
settlements.
Ackley said the most important
single source of upward pressure
on prices in areas other than steel
comes from wage increases "that
greatly exceed the rise of produc-
tivity in the economy generally."

onstrators poured down Wisconsin
Ave., Milwaukee's main street, af-
ter leaving the grounds of St.
Boniface Roman Catholic Church,
where police Friday night broke
up a demonstration in a flash of
night sticks.
Police yesterday marched along-
side without interfering with the
throng-one of the largest ever to
assembly for a civil rights protest
in the city's history.
Yesterday's march, unlike those
of the previous nights, was com-
paratively free of tension. March-
ers laughed, sang, and joked with
spectators.
