The House Ways and Means Committee began hearings this week on one of the most Important bills to come be fore Congress this year. I'm speaking of the President's proposal to raise taxes. His plan calls for a 10 percent surcharge on current tax rates. That means ? if adopted ? you would Tigure out your tax liability just as you do now and then add 10 percent. The hearings are expected to be extensive. They will have to be because many questions are still unanswered in my mind about the need for additional taxes. For instance, how much revenue will the country act ually have? How much will it need? If it wlU need more than it can expect with pre sent taxes, how is the best way to acquire it? Through borrowing? Higher taxes? Or a combination of both? What about cutting govern ment spending? This seems to be so hard for the President and Congress to do. But in my opinion, too much is being appropriated and spent. As 'your representative, I have voted against unnecessary and nonessential spending, even some good things that can be postponed for the present. Some spending is so es tablished by law that it can not be changed without new substantive legislation. In this group fall such programs as veterans pensions and hos pitalization, farm price sup ports, social security and public health, welfare and others. The President promised to hold down spending in certain areas. He told Congress that with the $7.4 billion his tax proposal would bring in and the spending restraints he men tioned, the deficit could be kept down to between $14 bil lion and $18 billion. That's still too high, In my opinion. I don't pretend to know all the answers, but I believe there are other and better ways to close this financial gap without raising your taxes. We could simply eliminate the foreign aid program, and I expect to vote to do so. In the past I have supported this program at times. Ex pen encp rnis rrnTgnr us, uuw e'ver, that the billions we have given away have brought only marginal returns at best. We have our own problems to con sider and should turn our resources to them. The regular foreign aid bill totals almost $4 billion. Other foreign programs add over $3 billion. Some say more. But hore we could save almost $7 billion for the cur rent fiscal year. The $5 billion space pro gram can be trimmed without hurting any essential projects. In this and other programs already funded, money can be saved if the bureaucrats simply do not spend the money. This is especially true in programs not absolutely es sential and where waste?that we hear about with increasing frequency?is so prevalent. In my opinion, at least $15 billion can be cut from this year's spending schedule. It would not be easy and some of us would have to make some sacrifices. But it could be done it we want to badly enough. Such cuts would more than make up the total which the tax proposals would bring in. They also would cut into the anticipated deficit more heav ily. Of course, it is possible that testimony before the Ways and Means Committee in coming weeks will reveal factsnotyet known that could convince Congress that a tax increase is needed. But I, for one, will have to be shown. IDLAL MAN The best mate a girl can choose is an army man. He can cook, make beds, is in good health?and is used to taking orders. ?Anna Herbert. Fountain Stresses Need To Prepare For Growth RALEIGH, N. C. . . . Con gressman L. H. Fountain to night urged rural counties to prepare for growing popula tions which will bring urban problems that must be attack ed before they become Insolu ble. The counties must have the help and cooperation of city and state governments?where needed ? to meet these new challenges, the Second Dis trict Congressman said in a speech prepared for delivery at the 60th annual convention of the North Carolina Asso ciation of County Com missioners in Raleigh. One of the most urgent needs facing all counties, Fountain said, is Improvement in the structure and management of Federal grant programs. "Federal grants now in clude more than 175 general programs funded under more than 400 separate appropria tions," he said. "They will amount to more than $17.4 billion next year and are administered by 19 different departments and agencies and by more than 140 separate Federal bureaus and divisions." Fountain said the amount of Federal funds involved "is one dimension of the problem, but in some respects a comparatively modest one." "Of equal significance la the extraordinary number of pro grams, the diversity of fiscal and personnel requirements, the so-called guidelines and the rapidly expanding number of independent governmental units that are eligible as grant recipients." Fountain, who has carried out extensive studies of gov ernmental problems as Chair man of the House Intergovern mental Relations Subcom mittee, said the grant manage ment situation has been made worse because of "our fail ure in many cases to relate new programs to old ones." State restrictions ? where they exist?on county govern ment must be removed if the counties are to adequately prepare for the urbanization which is rapidly accelerating, Fountain said. Although only one-tenth of North Carolina's population lived in urban areas in 1900, the urban population had in creased to 40 percent by 1960. The figure continues to rise. Fountain said North Caro lina was in a better position than some other states to meet tho new challenges. He cited the relatively low number of local governmental units, the 1959 annexation law, andop tion for county charters as among the state's advantages. Machine wash?little ironing!
