WASHINGTON (P) - President
Nixon plans to drastically slash
funds for a variety of housing, edu-
cation and research programs in
his fiscal 1974 budget, claiming all
cutbacks are necessary to curb in-
flation.
It will be one of the tightest
budgets in recent years, accord-
ing to officials in the Office of
Management and Budget. Nixon
will send the massive document
to Congress Monday.
The Office of Economic Oppor-
tunity is scheduled to be broken
up and its responsibilities placedI
in other agencies due to the rap-
idly expanding economy, growing
population, and new federal serv-
ices, the Administration claims.
Widespread cutbacks in funds
for housing, health, education and
social programs, subsidized public-
service jobs, work training and
community services are scheduled.
Also scheduled for trimming are
funds for science, technology,
space and atomic - energy pro-
grams. "There will be some
screams from the scientific com-
munity," said one official.
The budget is reported to call
House committee to probe
tax system in hearings
i
WASHINGTON OP) - The
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee's review of the tax system is
starting earlier and may last
longer and probe deeper into fun-
damental tax considerations than
had been expected.
Feb. 5 is the starting date for
public hearings. Estimates of
the time required for the hear-
ings have gone up from six
weeks to eight.
Proponents of tax reform, in
and out of Congress, are certain
to be heard on proposals aired
during last year's political cam-
paigns for changes in oil indus-
try taxes, rapid depreciation and
the investment credit.
But the committee is prepar-
ing also to look at potentially
broader revisions that could in-
clude the rate of taxation on
capital gains and the length of
time an asset must be held to
qualify for capital gains treat-
ment ,and on the whole structure
of estate and gift taxes.
There were no predictions this
early as to what the committee
might eventually recommend.
Any recommendation from Pres-
ident N i x o n' s administra-
tion would have an effect. But
present plans are not to hear
administration spokespersons
until the end of the public ses-
sions.
There are proposals for shift-
ing the tax system generally in
the direction of lower rates, but
more restrictions on deductions.
Charitable deducations might be
affected, sources said, but prob-
ably not the deductions of spe-
cial vrilue to homeowners: mort-
gage interest and local real es-
tate taxes.
for big cuts in health programs, {
including research programs ex-
cept those dealing with cancer and
heart disease, and hospital con-
struction.
The administration has been
looking at a 19 per cent cut in
federal support for education, in-
cluding "Title I" funds to help
disadvantaged children.
The Commerce Department's
Economic Development Adminis-
tration is due for phasing out. Di-
rect loans for rural power systems
are no longer being provided.
The administration announced
on Jan. 5 an 18-month morator-
ium on new subsidized housing
programs for low income families.
The budget will not call for any
funds for new approvals in fiscal
1974, which starts July 1, sources
say.
Expected to be immune from the
cutback is Nixon's general revenue
sharing program ,a five-year, $30
billion spending program.
Many of the cutbacks have been
made effectivefor fiscal 1973,bthe
current year, as Nixon has tried to
cut spending by $10 billion to hold
the budget to $250 billion. He has
done it through impounding funds
appropriated by Congress.
