IrT -I second front page al4I, 1Mirc419atn Datit NEWS PHONE: 764.0552 BUSINESS PHONE: 764-0554 Tuesday, August 5, 1969 Ann Arbor, Michigan Page Three House ct WASHINGTON (R) - Drafters of the tax-reform bill say more changes are on the way -- especially involving inheritance - even though t h e changes they already have written are probably the most sweeping ever. The House Ways and Means Com- mittee, in its report on the 168-page bill, said it is going back over the field of estate and gift taxes and expects to send more legislation to the House by next year. Additional income tax problems also are due for more analysis and study, the report said. The question whether capital gains should continue to be tax-free when passed on by inheritance is believed high on t h e committee's continuing list. ommittee The report does not promise fur- ther tax-relief - but it does note that its revenue calculations do not take into account the normal increase in revenues from growth of the economy - a figure that could run about $10 billion a year in succeeding years. The report says that applying the changes made in the bill to current economic figures indicate that in 1970 revenue increases would be $4.1 bil- lion, offset only partially by tax-relief provisions amounting to $1.7 billion. This would maintain fiscal restraint, the report says - a main element in the government's fight against infla- tion. By 1979, the drafters estimate, rev- enue pickups and tax relief will be ap- proximately in balance at about $6.8 billion. promises more tax reforms By 1972, the report says, an average family of four with income of $3,500 would be relieved of all tax. At $4,000 the tax reduction would be 50 per cent, at $7,500 10.3 per cent, at $10,000 8.5 per cent, at $15,000 6.6 per cent, at $20,000 3.5 per cent. Single persons 35 or older, widows and widowers would receive greater proportional reductions. The committee says it tried to tail- or the bill "in such a way that all in- come classes below $100,000 received a tax reduction of at least 5 per cent of present tax without regard to the ex- piration of the 10 per cent surcharge. T h e report terms the measure "a substantive and comprehensive reform of the income tax laws" and a d d s "your committee is not aware of any prior tax reform bill of equal substan- tive scope." In a letter to Rep. Wilbur D. Mills (D-Ark.), the committee chairman, Secretary of the Treasury David M. Kennedy endorsed the legislation, say- ing: "We believe that the bill is a mile- stone in tax legislation and will be long remembered as a major advance in achieving an equitable tax struc- ture. "While, of course, we have s o m e reservations about some of the pro- visions in the bill and would plan to make some suggestions for revisions in theprogress of the bill in the Senate, we sincerely believe that, in general, the bill represents a major step for- ward in tax legislation and urge its prompt passage by the House of Rep- resentatives." However, seven of the 25 members of the committee appended individual views criticizing some provisions or the method of handling the bill. R e p. Charles A. Vanik (D-Ohio), called on other Democrats to help him open the bill for amendments so that the extension of the surtax from Jan. 1 through June 30, 1970, at 5 per cent could be voted on separately. Vanik opposed the extension. Vanik complained also too m u c h rate reduction was applied at the up- per end of the income scale. Rep. Sam W. Gibbons (D-Fla.), termed the measure "only a very lim- ited tax reform." ' '!

Daily News (Continued from Page 1) Times. "No matter what kind of legislation we pass, there will still be a gray area between what is permissible and what is not." That gray area, says attorney Lax, is what would permit two different juries to come out with two opposite decisions in an ob- scenity trial. Some politicians feel that new ordinances will not only fail to clarify legal problems, but create new dangers in themselves. Coun- cilman LeRoy Cappaert (D-Fifth Ward), who has extensive exper- ience working as a principal with children in elementary schools, says "although distribution of such material to minors creates some problems," don't think any additional legislation is needed. "The obscenity issue is tied to general dissatisfaction with the quality of law enforcement," he argues, "and people want harsher law enforcement. "There's enough repression in general being sought these days- and I'm wary of adding any fur- ther dimension to it," says Cap- paert. I Advocates of stronger laws, like Stephenson, deny their efforts to crackdown on the Argus and Pan- ther papers are politically moti- vated. Roy Weber (R-Fourth Ward), however, adds that "these papers use terms and obscenity as a means of getting people to read things for their own political pur- poses. Most kids wouldn't read it if it weren't for the obscenity." And using "distasteful words for political purposes." Lax points out, is a right explicitly protected by the Constitution's First Amend- ment.

White Panthers Skip Taube and Pun Palamondon were arrested in March for distributing "ob- scene, lenxd, lascivious" literature to minors-a White Panther leaf- let. Taube and Palamondon have posted bond and await trial in cir- cuit court. Chief of Police Walter Krasny, however, says the laws could be better. "We should have laws that are clear enough so we know whether or not we'll get support from the city when we prosecute," ,says Krasny. Now, according to the police chief, only "a very few" obsceni- ties cases make their way into court-mostly via the county pros- ecutor. "I'd like to see the city take a case into court," declares Krasny. If the public and some council- men keep pressing for action, it looks like the city may put some new laws on the books after all- and local underground papers may get into 'some legal squabbles. But at least one city official is sorry the whole campaign started. "If I were speaking to citizen groups," he says, "I would tell them they have more important things to worry about in the world than obscenity."

EMU student Frank Boynton, a former fraternity brother of Col- lins, told police he had seen Col- lins use a .22 caliber gun when several friends were skeet shooting in the LeForge Road area. Boyn- ton said they were near the aban- doned farm where Dawn Basom was murdered last April 16. University law student Jane Mixer and sociology graduate stu- dent Alice Kalom were killed by .22 caliber bullets fired into their heads.

The roll call vote was 237 to 178. The compromise measunre was passed in the Senate last week. The House had passed a twelve-month extension - what the Presi- dent asked - but the Senate passed only the six-month continuation. The additional extension through June 30 which Nixon wants is tied to a tax reform measure the House will begin debate on Wed- nesday. * * * .PRESIDENT NIXON yesterday briefed 22 top congressional leaders of both parties on his around-the-world tour. White House press secretary Ronald Ziegler said Nixon told the congressmen that although the United States intends to remain a power in the Pacific, the Asian nations must be more self-reliant in defense measures. The United States would consider intervention only in cases of external aggression, Nixon added. Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said Nixon em- phasied that this represents an important shift in American policy. Mansfield said Nixon indicated an announcement of a new troop withdrawal would come in August, but that actual movement of troops would probably come later. Ziegler added that Nixon said the United States would not sup- ply ground troops to Thailand and this position had been accepted by Thai leaders. In discussing his two days in Romania, Nixon was quoted as ex- pressing hope for an increased cultural exchange with communist countries. Nixon's journey took him to Thailand, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Romania, and Great Britain. * * DISTRICT COURT JUDGE James Boyle apparently is re- quired by law to grant a request for an inquest into Sen. Edward Kennedy's July 18 auto accident, court sources said yesterday. The inquest is being sought by District Attorney Edmund Dinis. Boyle received formal notification of Dinis' request yesterday but said only that he would comment "within a reasonable time." Dinis mailed his request to Boyle last week but did not say why he wanted the inquest. Boyle presided while Kennedy pleaded guilty July 25 to a charge of leaving the scene of the accident, in which Mary Jo Kopechne was killed. Boyle gave the senator a suspended two-month jail sentence and a year's probation. Dinis is known to be investigating the possibility of asking that Miss Kopechne's body be exhumed to permit an autopsy. Meanwhile, Chief Justice Kenneth Nash of Massachusetts Dis- trict Court declined to intervene as asked by Dinis in a separate letter asking for an inquest into Miss Kopechne's death. U.S. STEEL said yesterday it will back down on some of the price increases it announced last week. A spokesman for the nation's largest steel producer said price cutbacks were caused by the failure of other steel makers to follow U.S. Steel's lead. These cutbacks affect galvanized and aluminum coated sheets and long terns, which accounted for over 5 per cent of the industry's total shipments in 1968. Price hikes on hot- and cold-rolled sheet and strip remain un- changed and are scheduled to take effect tomorrow. These products account for nearly half the industry's total shipments, and are used in the auto and can industries. Other steel producers have also raised prices on these items. While U.S. Steel's original price increases drew no official re- action from the White House, General Motor's Fisher Body Division halted shipments of steel pending a study of the new rates. * * .* ITALIAN PREMIER-DESIGNATE Mariano Rumor won cru- cial Socialist party support yesterday for an all-Christian Demo- cratic minority government designed to end Italy's 30-day gov- ernment crisis. Francesco de Martino, secretary of the leftist Socialist party, said his party's leadership had decided to take a "responsible attitude" toward the stopgap government that would resign after a definite term and permit Socialists to return in the Cabinet. Italy's other major Socialist party, the more moderate Unitarian Socialist party, announced its support of the minority Cabinet earlier in the day. MARINER 7 sent back the best look yet at one of Mars' "canals," and then headed yesterday for a sweep past the planet's south polar ice cap. Mariner 7's 38th approach picture, taken Sunday when it was 716,250 miles from Mars, showed a dark streak 100 miles wide and 750 miles long about half-way between the equator and the South Pole. Scientists identified it as the Canal Agathadaemon, which has been photographed by ground telescopes but with much less detail. Picture 38 also was the clearest yet of a large dark splotch, Solus Lacus, known to astronomers as the "eye of Mars."
