But the, costs will rise less! rapidly than the nation's ability to meet them, Johnson said.

Despite the 1966 increase, he said, federal spending will decline in relation to the Gross National less than 15 per cent. the lowest ratio achieved in 15 years." Nevertheless the federal debt will stand at an historic peak $322.5 billion when the fiscal year has closed. Johnson served notice he will ask another increase in the debt ceiling fixed! by Congress.

The President not expected to specify the excise tax cutsi until almost June 30, when some excises expire automatically. The tax changes, to become effective July 1, "will increase purchasing power and further growth in the economy," Johnson said. But he urged some tax increases too. To meet a lion increase in the estimated cost of completing the interstate highway system, he said, his forthcoming tax message will propose increases in "certain highway user charges." These are expected to fall most heavily on truck and busline operators, through higher vehicles, tires and fuel.

Still -user charges should be raised, Johnson said, and he named some: A 4-cents-a-gallon tax should be levied on gasoline and jet fuels for general aviation; the 2- cent gasoline tax for cial flying should be extended to commercial jet fuel; air freight should be taxed 2 per cent; the present 5 per cent tax on passengers should be made permanent. The President's plan for financing health care proved to be complex, for it is coupled with a boost in all Social Security benefits pensions, disability payments, and survivors' benefits. The benefits would be increased 7 per cent on the average, retroactive to Jan. 1, 1965. On next Jan.

1 would come the bigger bite out of paychecks for Social Security taxes. Six months after that, on July 1, 1966, the hospital benefits for the elderly would go into effect. For those not covered by social insurance, Johnson said, "'The cost of the new benefits would be financed from general appropriations." cost of these payments to the noninsured was not shown by the budget, for they would not begin until the start of fiscal 1967. But the increased cost of payroll taxes for all workers covered by Social Security was sharply clear. The tax rate would rise from 7.25 per cent, shared equally by employer and employe, to 8.5 per cent.

In addition, the maximum amount of yearly income taxed would jump from $4,800 to $5,600. As a result. anyone earning $5,600 or more would pay $238 in Social Security tax instead of the $174 he now pays. The rise would be more than 35 per cent; for many people it could nullify the savings on excise taxes. Of the 4.25 per cent payroll levy on each employe, 0.3 per cent would go to finance the new hospital program; at the $5.600 income level, that would come to $16.80.
