Anticipate Details Of Revised Income Redistribution Plan WASHINGTON (UPI) -Sen. George S. MGovern is planning to unveil major changes this week in his income redistribution plan a controversial proposal that has left him at odds with old-line Democratic party regulars.

Advance indications were that original proposal to give every man, woman and child in the nation $1,000 or more every year will Ite changed into a complex system of income tax credits. That would eliminate the possibility of millionaires and their hired help being all on the same dole. Other major changes were expected to eliminate more tax loopholes and shelters so the general tax rate on upper- income people would not have to be raised to the levels. But aides ed the frontrunning Democratic presidential hopeful is not backing down, and all he is doing is putting the plan he outlined last into specifics, McGovern possibly has had more trouble with the tax plan than any of his other campaign proposals. He first outlined it just before Christmas last year at a time when he was the only announced presidential contender and running last in every major poll.

He was under pressure by his staff to make himself more dramatic and to capture the headlines McGovern said if he was elected President he would ask Congress to eliminate the welfare system and replace it with an income supplement plan. The best way to do that, he said, would be to send everyone, paupers and millionaires alike, a check once a year he u.sed $4,000 for a family of four a.s an example. Of course, he said, taxes would have to be raised on upper-income people to pay for the yearly outlays totalling up to billion. But he said for taxpayers with low and middle inome, the tax increa.se would be less than the $1,000 check they would receive each so they have to pay anything. And he said his preliminary calculations Indicated the wealthy would not have their taxes raised overall.

He contended the savings from eliminating w'elfare costs and from closing tax loopholes would offset the costs of the $1 (XK) proposal. The proposal haunted McGovern a.s the campaign developed.
