Washington add Taxes ld N64 all Americans. The new law, Eisenhower said in a statement, will "help millions of Americans by giving them a fairer tax treatment." At the same time, he added, it "will help our economy expand and thus add materially to the strength of our nation." The new law brings about tax reductions of $1,363,000,000 in the first year, and more later on, for millions oL individuals and nearly all corporations. In all, tbe initial year's tax cuts will total about $1,363,000,000. This will be increased later as tbe new program takes full effect. 10 View Ten members of Congress looked on as the President signed the bill.

Eisenhower kept switching pens, using enough so that each of the Congress members could have one as a souvenir. Holding up the 928-page bin, the President grinned and remarked: "I must say that represents a long long bunch of work." "Boy," he exclaimed, "there's a lot of work in there for lawyers." Eisenhower said the bill is part of a comprehensive program which since last Jan. 1, "will have provided for tax cuts totaling largest dollar tax cut any year in the nation's history "I congratulate the Congress and its leaders," Eisenhower said in his statement, "for having enacted this monumental tax revision." Individual Benefits In a far.ef analysis, the President oroke the bill down into benefits for individuals, those he said will help the economy, provisions for "much needed clarification" of the tax laws, and devices for dosing more than 50 loopholes through which he said some taxpayers may have tried to avoid "their share of the tax burden." fair As examples of fairer tax treatment for individuals, Elsenhower angled out these: Parents of dependent children caa keep them as dependents regardless of how much the children persona will get extra earn.

People getting sick benefits paid by employers need not pay any tax on this income, up to $100 a week. Provisions effecting business, the President said, will "help our people produce better 'goods at cheaper prices The tax law, he said, also will help create more Jobs. "TMs economic growth," he said "will be fostered by such provisions as more flexible depreciation and better tax treatment of research and development costs, thus encouraging all business, large and small, to modernize and expand.

"And, partial reduction of the double taxation of income from will stimulate the investment of savings by our private, citizens and so make available the thousands of dollars that provide iie plant, tools and power needed for each new job in America."
