Carter's tax plans on drawing board
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Jimmy Carter announced yesterday that he'll wait until next year to unveil his long-awaited tax revision proposals and that tax cuts to boost the economy will be a part of his recommendations.
"By the end of the year," Carter told a nationally broadcast news conference, "we will have more information . . . on the state of the economy, to know how much of our tax reform proposals should be devoted to stimulating the economy."
THE PRESIDENT opened the 32-minute session by appealing for congressional action on his energy package, saying all public officials would be judged by "the courage which we are able to muster" in facing up to the energy problem.
As the President spoke, Senate-House conferences worked to compromise differences between a House-passed energy bill that is much to Catter's liking.
Carter said he stood by a House-approved price ceiling of $17.17 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas. However, he did not flatly compromise or compromise measure booding that figure.
HE ALSO declared continued opposition to Senate provisions offering what he called "windfalls" for oil companies, but, again, said nothing firm about vetting the bill.
In other pronouncements, the President said:
+ He has decided to support strong sanctions against the sale of weapons to South Korea.
Africa. He predicted the United Nations would adopt a resolution imposing such an embargo, inspired by a South African crackdown against blacks and their supporters, and that it would be observed around the world.
- As for arms limitation talks with the Soviet Union, there was a good prospect that disclosure of the general outcomes of a new Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty could be made "within a few weeks." But he added its months to work out all the fine print.
- Although there had been criticism in Congress and elsewhere of his performance in office, and a drop in his popularity poll, much of this could be attributed to the 'controversial nature of some things we put forward.' But he said he would not avoid trying to deal with difficult national problems 'simply to avoid controversy.'
- Atty. Gen, Griffin Bell has not informed the Government yet whether Bill thinks the government should try to indict former CIA Director Richard Helms, who had been under investigation for alleged perjury. Bell had said he had decided the government should seek an indictment but would first talk to Carter about it.
In announcing a delay of tax revision recommendations, first promised for September, Carter said he was influenced by a desire to see Congress first complete action on energy and Social Security legislation, both having tax consequences.
Minority . . .
From nave one
spent by the end of the fiscal year
"The minority affairs committee, after they got the money, couldn't decide how to spend it," Reggie Robinson, chairman of the Student Rights Committee and acting chairman of its subcommittee, the Minority Affairs Committee, said.
Sal Gomez, former president of MECHA and former member of the committee said, "We just for one thing felt like the structure of that center hadn't been defined and developed enough for us to spend that kind of money."
GOMEZ, ALONG WITH several other minority leaders on campus, said that the need for a black student organization in the Kansas Union must be met before further consideration was given to establishing a minority center.
"What I feel is lacking right now is effective communication among blacks on campus," Rodney Dennis, former chairman of the minority affairs subcommittee, said. "The lack of communication stems from the fact that there is no collective black group on campus."
A black organization in the Union would serve as an "umbrella" organization for all black services on campus, committee members said. Chicago and Native American Alliance (NAA) interests are already represented with offices in the

Correction
It was incorrectly stated in yesterday's Kansas that the Student Senate approved a resolution Wednesday night concerning an alumni appreciation day Nov. 19.
The Senate adjourned before acting on any legislation.
unable to make a recommendation for a black organization because the input of black students on the committee was so diffused.
HOWEVER, HE SAID, going by the comments from individuals he had talked with, there was interest among black students for such an organization.
Gomez agreed with Dennis on the need for a black organization.
According to Gomez, the idea for the center did not come from the minority affairs subcommittee, but from a member of the board. The committee consisted of black, Chicano and Native American students had approached the Senate and pushed for the establishment of a minority affairs committee. Instead, a subcommittee of the Senate created the 1975 Committee was created April 30, 1975.
"WESTILL WANT a full committee in the Senate." Gomez said.
"Maybe the true need is only for a black group, but I want the committee to find out if there's anything it can do to provide that MECHA and NAA can't," he said.
nounson said he did not think the possibility of the center duplicating existing minority services had been considered by the Senate when the money was allocated last year. He said this would be a consideration of the new subcommittee.
He said the final decision not to use the quota system was made this fall. It was decided that all 14 applicants to the subcommittee would be used.
The quota system provided for the appointment of three blacks, three Chicanos, three Native Americans and four students at large.
ORIGINALLY, THE new subcommittee appointments were to be made last spring, but the Senate was unable to decide whether to use a quota system for appointing
Muyan said the appointments were not made until this semester because of indecision and because the appointments were not a top priority last spring.
The biggest new burden would fall on upper-income workers, some of whom would find their Social Security taxes more than tripled in 10 years.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House voted yesterday to increase Social Security taxes for 104 million Americans as part of a plan that will increase the national pension system from going broke.
House approves Social Security tax increase
OLDER AMERICANS got a break at the last minute when House members voted for an amendment phasing out the current income limit for recipients.
But taxes also would go up for lower-paid workers.
Younger workers will find the Social security tax bite increase steadily over time.
The maximum tax, now $65 per year for a worker earning $1,500 or more, would go to $0.25 in a decade. This maximum tax in the state will apply only to those earning more than $4,500.
Rep. Al Ullman, D-Ore., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which fashioned the bill, said the legislation was a vital concern to almost every American.
THE BILL was passed 278-146 and sent to Senate, already considering similar bills.
The large tax increases were made necessary by deficits in the Social Security fund in recent years. Without the new system, many people go to grove in two years, experts say.
BEFORE PASSING the bill, the House

289-149 for an amendment that would be voted on by the committee recommended by the committee.
The amendment, sponsored by Rep. William M. Ketchum, R-Calf., would remove the requirement for Social Security pensions by 1982. The current limit is $3,000.
The Ketchn amendment was opposed by Ullman and other members of the Ways and Means Committee. Ullman said the amendment would allow wealthy professionals such as doctors and lawyers to continue work past age 65, earn $100,000 or more a year and still draw a Social Security pension.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?" Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
"Then said Jesus unite them. My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you:' BUT ME I HATET, BECAUSE I TESTIFY OF IT, THAT THEY WILL TRUST YOU.' FOR MY_TIME IS NOT YET FULL COME!" JOHN 7-1-10.
"Jesus answered him if I WASH THEE NOT, THOUHAST NO PART WITH ME!" **WI**.138. One terrible affliction and spiritual disease making the Church unclean "aPoaceyt?" In 1st Corinthians 11:31 The spirit of God tells us: "FOR WE WOULD JUDGE OURSELves WE SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED!" *Examine yourselves to prove your way* **WI**.139. We are in Christ among Corinthians 13:5. If we are to sin, eit and one or more of God's broken Commandments, is our love for Christian genuine?
"Apotacy"; is foraging or abandonment of what hitherto has been professed and adhered to, as faith, principle, party. in order to be helpful to any wishing to "judge sat," consider whether of your own will to judge, or hitherto you, or adhere to The Church.
The Bible is the infeatable Word of God Almighty, and the only rule to direct us how to Honor and Glorify God, Or, did we once profess and affirm the Lord's command, "Sabbath Day to Keep it Holy," believing that man should do no work on Day unless
work of necessity and mercy, and the Day should be spent with the aim of increasing our knowledge of God and seeking His Honor and Pleasure rather than our own — see Faithfully Answering Questions in a Christian context, then as far as they are concerned we are apostate. (That great man of God, John Bunyanty tells in his vision of seeing a man being carried in a 'by-wa-t-hell' with a sign on him saying "dammable shoes"? There are many others, and because he may "judge self" regarding the terrible air of "apostasy").
If there be any such thing as "honorable apostasy" maybe we can obtain that honor by asking The Church to erase our name from its roll BETTER, HOWEVER, REPENT, AND PRAY TO CHRIST AS PETER DISTED; "DLOUR, (WASH) NOT MY FEET ONLY, BUT ALSO MY HANDS AND HEAD!" John 13.9.
Get yourself a Bible, Keep it with you. Reit in all the days of your life that you may learn to "Fear The Lord your God!" To keep pride out of your heart telling you to be afraid of God, to fear you from hurting to the right or left hand from obedience to God's Commandments and Statutes, to the end you and your children will have the land in the life God gives you Dutheronomy 17:18-20.
