The vacationist, as he ventures into the summer traffic scram-- ble, may well pause long enough to consider what ha would do if caught . in a particularly hazardous plight. The National Safety Council has suggested that each 'driver aseer tain in advance, by actual tests, exactly how his' car1 will react under some of these situations. He should determine in safe trials the distance required to stop at different speeds (it varies with various vehicles) and whether it pulls to right or left when the brakes are applied. Emergency situations can be avoided if a driver knows exactly how his car will react, and uses driving techniques based upon its capabilities. The physical condition of the driver must also be considered.- Certainly, the operator who does not see well at night but well should let some-els- e enough In daylight, do the-- night driving. r familiar driving Tax Cuts If We Spend Less , v - - trial balloon sent up for THE the administration by Treasury Secret tary Douglas Dillon this week has evoked warm support from some congressional leaders, caution from others. Secretary Dillon indicated President d Kennedy will urge an income tax cut for next year. Spokesmen have hot clarified whether the program would be accompanied by corporation tax . cuts. . . Theres no doubt about the welcomeness of tax reductions. The tax load lies heavy on America, and any fiscally sound way it can be lifted should be encouraged. But enthusiasm for a reduction should not blind anyone to some of the problems and dangers Involved. THE PROPOSED TAX CUTS are, of course, aimed at strengthening the economy. President Kennedy had already for stand-bpower to cut "askedCongress ' taxes if he felt a sagging economy required it. He probably will get no such power this year, and the request to TAX-CU- T sidered to be an inflationary steel price rise is blamed or credited by some ob servers as a major reason forlast weeks readjustment in stock prices. This, view holds that stock prices had risen unreason- -' ably because of chronic fear of inflation. across-the-boar- . 1 y alternative move. . - Without knowing what the- - economy will be like a year from now, theres no particular 6QD3 iq talk But some guidelines might usefully be But the Presidents determination to fight inflation will carry conviction Only If he fights as determinedly against unnecessary government spending, as a corollary to any tax cuts. THE THINKING behind aq tax cut is that the additional purchasing power will be poured back into the economy. That thinking is sound, however, only if the public has confidence. If confidence is shaken, the .extra savings can go under the mattress, as so much did gJ during the Great Depression. If that kind of psychology develops, we are in for real trouble. On what, then, does confidence depend? The answer can be complex and hard to find. But it seems apparent now that the chief threat to confidence in the American economy lies in the danger that- foreign competition will cut Into our normal markets, force factory shutdowns, and established. One is that any tax cut must not be inflationary. 'President Kenned- y- h?s d and reproven himself to be sourceful in combatting inflation. In fact, his stubborn action against What he con- hard-nose- J - anti-recessi- : THAT.DAIiGLIt .will. Inevitably.. dryulip if we do not strictly control Inflationary pressures.' President Kennedy has made an excellent start In this respect. If he can manage' tax cut without start- ing the pressures rising again, well and good.

Passing a slower vehicle is a hazardous move on a strange or --crowded bed re pa-si- ng con-'fus- LEARNING HISTORYS lessons is not always easy; complex situations and are ftot entirely -- clear. But one" lesson that seems to recur again and again, In this country and elsewhere, is that the deeper government trudes into the economy the higher are the chances of corruption. The Billie Sol Estes case seems to be demonstrating the lesson again in this country, as it has been so often demon-- , strated before. But guesswhere else its being demonstrated. In tire Soviet Union, which deriding the morality of the U.S. as demonstrated by the Estes affair but which is also wrestling with a similar and probably much bigger -- ' dal of Its awn, . The story, as reported by Radio Liberty, comes from the Soviet newspaper Pravda Ukralriy. It reports how a So- -' viet citizen named Chanyshiv set up his own private manufacturing has-be- en 3 - knit-goo- ds business Inside the premises of Jhe factory. Bribes and the strategic placement of friends in the right positions promoted the business and kept gov- state-owne- d. eminent inspectors out As Estes Is alleged to have done, Chanyshiv is said to have used the proceeds of this fraud to expand into other businesses. Among other activities, he controlled horse racing In Kharkov and raked in another fortune. The newspaper : chargelxhat In a have-no- t society lie manseveral wives, several aged to acquire automobiles, several houses, 175 neckties, dozens of suits, and no one knows how many pairs of shoes. Meanwhile, as in the Estes case, an Investigating official died mysteriously. "Chanyshiv is believed responsible for his death. Two officials who refused to be bribed blew the whistle on the racket. Investigation is incriminating more and more Soviet officials for taking bpibes. Two prosecuting attorneys are charged with failing to take action and even hindering exposure of the racket The Communist Party secretaryln charge of the factory is charged with providing forged documents. And so it goes. If the case sounds like much that is Estes affair, as well reported about-thas some others, it may not be entirely coincidental. Two facts stand out - - Officials who have been casting aspersionsat the U.S. because! the Estes case are like stonethrowing inhabitants of glass houses. e THE OTHER IS that where the honey is the flies swarm, andwhere government money is so are. the sharpsters. ' PedestriansNeedMoreAttention THE NEWS that canopies for pedestrians may be set up in the near future at n crossings in important Salt Lake City could be more sig- nificant than it first appears. The proposal, made to the Downtown Planning Assn, which is drawing up a master plan to guide the' city's future development, could help give Salt Lake City a distinctive personality of its own. adding to its charm and Interest. The real significance of the sugges- tion, however, is that it is a step toward taking some of the downtown area away from the automobile and giving it back to the pedestrian. This is as it should be. More attention must be paid to the pedestrian, his safety, ease and comfort. Why? Because vehicular traffic is increasing at such a rate that ultimately it could all but choke off the ability to drive oa some city streets. Experts agree that if cities are to sur- mid-bloc- down-tow- k -- caniiot be the only form Traffic congestion must access to places of busi-ncOtherwise, sales ki the will .decline, property values oepreciater and the cities will grad- uaiiy decay.

Moreover, it is a definite step toward fulfillment of those plans. vive, automobiles of transportation. be curtailed, and made easier. downtown areas ss theres much to be said for the suggestion that the canopies be installed before the year is out. They would be Visible evidence that the master plan for Salt Lake Citys development Is not just a dream, that some progress is being made, that ours is a town wjth a promising future.
