DIAL 'LAVA LINE'
VOLCANO, Hawaii (R) -
Only in Hawaii will you find a
"Lava Line" for obtaining the
latest information on erupting
volcanoes.
Pele, Hawaii's traditional
goddess of volcanoes, routinely
"blows her top" among the
many craters and fissures that
dot the Hawaii Volcanoes Na-
tional Park near this aptly
named community on the
island of Hawaii. Lava foun-
tains shooting hundreds of feet
in theairiand the glow of mol-
ten rock in the night provide a
sensational show for spectators.
In the past, the park's admin-
istrative office was swamped
with phone calls from volcano
fans every time Pele decided to
make her presence felt. The
.:allers wanted to know the
eruption's location and how to
get to the best viewing site.
But now the calls are han-
died by the Lava Line, which
provides prerecorded informa-
tion on the day's eruptions. The
service is supplied to the pavx
by Hawaiian Telephone Co.
The tape machine answers
more than 2,000 calls a month.
House unit seraps
Ford tax proposal
FORD CRITICAL
Congress
WASHINGTON (Reuter)-The'
House Ways and Means Com-
mittee yesterday scrapped Pres-
ident Ford's tax cut plans and
adopted a more generous 20
billion dollar tax relief program
for individuals and corporations.
Acting with unusual speed, the
committee approved a $16.4 bil-
lion reduction in income taxes
for about 90 million taxpayers
and voted about $3.8 billion in
relief to business.
FORD had proposed a $16
billion tax cut-12 billion to in-
dividuals and four billion to cor-
porations through a bigger in-
vestment credit.
The committee's version, ap-
proved by an overwhelming vote
of 28-5, is expected to come be-
fore the full House about Feb.
18.
Under the committee's bill,
taxpayers would get a maximum
$200 rebate on their 1974 pay-'
ments, however anyone earning
more than $30,000 a year would
be limited to a refund of $100.
THIS PLAN, which would save
taxpayers eight billion dollars,
gives taxpayers a 10 per cent1
reduction in 1974 taxes and
apply to rich and poor alike.
The minimum refund would be
$100.
Ford had proposed a 12 per
cent rebate on 1974 taxes with
a $1,000 refund ceiling. Some
Congressmen criticized this pro-
posal. saying it would favor
wealthy taxpayers.
The House bill would redis-
tribute more than half the eight
billion dollar rebate to families
earning under $15,000 a year.
A typical family of four earn-
ing $15,000 dollars would get
back $170.
OTHER key features of the
tax bill:
-An $8.4 billion reduction in
1975 taxes through larger de-
ductions for low" and moderate
income people-generally those
earning less than $15,000.
-A $3.8 billion tax break
through a 10 per cent investment
tax credit instead of seven per
cent for industry and four per
cent for utility companies.
Earlier in the day, the White,
House criticized Congress for
not coming up with a program
to deal with the country's eco-
nomic troubles.

deficit-already projected at a
peacetime high of 52 billion
dollars.
Also yesterday, FederaltRe-
serve Board Chairman Arthur
Burns said the board recognizes
the need for an adequate growth
in the money supply but said too
rapid expansion of that supply
would lead to further inflation.
HE TOLD the House Banking
Committee that the board op-
poses a bill calling for an in-
crease in the money supply of
at least six per cent on an
annual basis in the first half!
of 1975.
"I want to make it clear at
the outset that the boardefully
supports the general objective of
maintaining adequate growth of
the monetary aggregates," Burns
said in his statement.
He said the board recognizes'
an expanding economy requires
an expanding supply of money
and that attempts to encourage
growth in money and credit will
lead to a decline of short-term
interest rates when economic
activity is weak.
AND, Alan Greenspan, Chair-
man of the Council of Economic
Advisers, told the Joint Eco-
nomic Committee that the ad-
ministration's policies were flex-
ible and would be altered if
necessary later in the year.
"I do not say that our present
policy is frozen and unalterable.
The President has decided that
in the present circumstances,
these policies make the most
sense.
"But, if later in the year
conditions are different from
that which we would like them
to be, he has by no means said
that he will not relook these
policies."
GREENSPAN also indicated
he was optimistic that food
price increases in the first half
of this year might not be as high
as some forecasters ha .e esti-
