The President said his plan By JAMES R. GOLDEN United Pres International SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) The 35th Utah Legislature, faced by problems of money and membership,' came into being today with the traditional ceremony and with hopes partisanship would not bog it down. The session, scheduled to run 60 days, began at noon with Secretary of State Lamont Toronto tem porarily presiding over the House and Supreme Court Justice E.R. Callister in charge of the Senate. For the first time since 1947 the Republicans held the majority in both houses. But it was a narrow one, with a margin of 0 in the 2 in the House and a hairline Senate. Still, those five votes gave the GOP the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate today. Rep. Charles Welch, Jr. of Salt Lake City was sworn in as Speak er, and Sen. Reed Bullen of Logan took the oath as President of the Senate. one . hour after the ,35th . About session opened, committees from each house were able to go to Gov. George Clyde with the report they were organized and ready for busi ness. They expected to hear the governor's State of the State address Tuesday morning. In brief remarks to their respective memberships Bullen and Welch outlined the big problems facing the session, including financing, education, taxation and reapportionment. Welch said he hoped the House could move "unitedly" toward a solution of the major issues. Leaders Selected Earlier meetings by legislators from the two parties had selected the majority and minority leaders and their assistants, so the job today was a ceremonial one when the new Speaker and President called for nominations. Rep. Franklin Gunnell of Logan became majority leader in the House with Rep. Royal Harwood of Loa as majority whip. Rep. Er nest Dean of American Fork, the Sneaker in 1981. took over as House minority leader with Rep Elizabeth Vance of Ogden as whip Sen.

The committee has life-andeath power over President Kennedy's medicare and n., D-V- a., d- tax-cutti- ng programs. Landrum's surprise defeat was engineered by an unusual coalition of northern liberal Democrats and southern Dem ultra-conservati- ocrats. The liberals feared he was not liberal enough despite private as surances he gave jsome of them that he would help break the committee roadblock against Ken- nedy's medicare program. The ultra-conservativ- es ( to a joint session of Congress, the chief executive also took a cautious view of the world situation. He said West Berlin remained free, a settlement had been reached in Laos, aggression blunted in Viet Nam and a "deadly threat" removed from Cuba. He said the "end of agony" might be in sight in the Congo. But he added that danger still exists from Cuba to the South China Sea. Calling for action on his tax reduction program, Kennedy said: Tax Cut Most Important "Now, when no military crisis strains our resources, now, is the time to act. We cannot afford to be timid or slow. For this is the most important task confronting the Congress in 1963." It was the first time in the In ternal Revenue Service's history that tax reduction had been proposed solely to stimulate a lagging economy. There have been 13 major tax cuts this century, most of them to realign 100-ye- ar rates after a war or because of a budget surplus. The nation's labor unions and much of business favor the chief executive's approach. But his proposals faced sharp scrutiny in Congress where some influential members question the wisdom of tax cuts without reductions in spending. Actually, Kennedy asked the lawmakers to cut taxes $13.5 billion, between now and the But he proposed to ture $3.5 billion of this by ening the tax base and what he called "unfair 1965. . necessary end of recapbroad- ending or un- He did preferences.' not pinpoint these. Breaking down his proposal, the President said $11 billion would be cut from individual tax rates and $2.5 billion would result from reducing corporate rates. He said the tax cuts would increase purchasing power, with the greatest conincrease going to J low-inco- sumers. Benefits to Everyone His plan would fix individual income tax rates, which now range from 20 to 91 per cent, at "a more sensible range" of from 14 to 65 per cent. The current 52 per cent rate on corporate earnings would be cut back to the n War level of 47 per cent. In setting up new individual rates, the President proposed splitting the tax bracket which now covers the first $2,000 of taxable income. His plan would provide a 14 per cent tax rate for the first $1,000. The second $1,000 would be taxed at a slightly higher rate but still below present levels. This formula would mean tax savings ranging from 30 per cent for persons with very small taxable ' incomes to less" than 20 per cent for those in other income brackets.
