Cut In U.S. Excise Tax

WASHINGTON ‘AP)—Pres- dent Johnson announced Satur- ‘day he will recommend that Congress cut excise taxes by $1.750,.000,008 on July t. ty 4 like amount next Jap. 1. and by $464,000.000 more by 1970.

That adds up to. almost #.- @0n.000,000 over a five-year pe- ned

Johnson said he will recom- mend that the excise tax on au- temotiles and air conditioners be reduced eflectrve immed: ately. bn

Since it will he some time he- fore Congress acts on the pro- posal, this means the tax cut will be retroactive on these items. The aim isto avoid the possibility of a buyers strike which might develop while a fu- ture cut was under considera-

The excise levy an new autos is_10_per_cent, which _means_it adds $235 to the cost of the av-

( erage automobile. Johnson pro- ‘ posed cutting it tm seven per cent now—a saving of about $75 te the average car buyer. te five per cent by 1967. The president went before ra- die microphones and television

and -

theatre to sketch his tax-cut plans in outhne. Details will he _. q@ut in a special congress today.

IT 1S POSSIBLE

He said:

“This reduction — more than double the amount I recom- mended in January. is possible ahd desirabie because:

“Federal tax revenues re-

sponding strongly to our ex-

panding economy now are ex- pected to .he about $1.500,-

0.000 higher both in fiscal

1985 and fiscal 1966 than we

estimated in January.

“—Our existing supply . of

manpower and industrial ca-

pacity—and the rapid rise in both—-can readily absorb the added stimulus of the larger cuts without endangering our excellent ord of price sta-

bility. a

“This reduction—will_spur the continued growth of our eco- nomy. which now is in the 5ist month of unbroken expansion.” In Detroit. the auto industry -both management and labor hailed Johnson's announce- ment. thouch with some quali- fications.

A _Spokesman- for manofactur-—

ers said they had a “reduced delight.” explaininz

“We were shooting for elim- ination of the taxes, ‘soa re.

\ duction has to Mean our delight

is reduced.” RAISES AMOUNT

Congress last vear voted an income tax reduction of about $11,500,000,000, taking effect last calendar year and this Thus the excise cuts Johnson is pro posing will raise the amount of tax mr ions over five years to more than $15.000.900,000.

Johnson proposed to reduce the ‘present 10-per-cent tax on telephone service to three per

cent by Jan. 1 and scrap it en- tirely by 1969. Without giving details. the

president said hundreds of items would be affected by his program.

Retail buyers would benefit from tax removal or reduction on such items as handbags, lug- gage. cosmetics and toilet ar- ticles. jewelry and furs.

Taxes on the manufacturers’ level would be reduced or- ell- minated on sporting goods, ra- dies. television sets. records, masical instruments, cameras and film, refrigerators and freezers and other tems.
