Ike Wants Income Tax Date Extended1Month
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower asked Congress today to change the traditional date for filing personal income tax returns to April 15.
The change would be effective next year.
He said in his budget message that taxpayers should be given the extra month "to reduce the burdens of preparing and filing returns."
This was one of 25 tax law changes Mr. Eisenhower recommended in a $1,200,000,000 tax relief program. Certain groups of individual income taxpayers would get relief amounting to $585 million.
The President stood firm against any further general cuts in individual or corporation income tax rates this year.
The remainder would go to business as an incentive to plant expansion and general economic growth.
Although none of the President's current tax proposals would affect the rates of individuals generally, many would reduce the taxes of certain groups.
For example, he proposed that farmers be allowed to deduct up to 25 per cent of their gross income for soil conservation expenses. At present the law allows "only limited and uncertain tax deductions" for this purpose, he said.
Relief provisions under consideration are proposals to allow special expense deductions for working widows and wildowers who have to hire a nurse or baby sitter to take care of small children; more liberal medical expense deductions for individuals, and more liberal depreciation deductions for business firms.
The President renewed a previous recommendation that Congress continue corporation income and federal excise taxes at about their present rates for at least another year.

Ike May Get Commission OK To Cut Tariffs
Washington — (U.P.)— Informed sources said today that the Randall Commission on International Trade plans to urge sweeping authority for the President to slash U.S. tariffs 15 per cent over a three-year period.
The commission is understood to admit in an explosive report it will publish Saturday that this kind of out might put thousands of Americans out of work.
But the report is said to suggest that the risk is necessary to promote an economic balance in the free world—particularly Europe—without which the security of the United States might be endangered.
The 17-man group is far from unanimous on its recommendations, it was learned. At least three disagreements had been attributed to be filed as minority views.
The commission will recommend a three-year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements act which will allow sharp dispute in Congestion post- year.
At the same time, informed sources said, the report calls for presidential power to lower duties 5 per cent a year for the life of the law.
Its report is expected to be so controversial that Congressional sources believe Congress will generally by-pass it when the reciprocal trade program comes up for debate.
Mather Interview Scheduled For KU Sports Network
So that sport fans in the state may know the new Kansas head football coach better, a special radio program will be broadcast this weekend over KANU-FM. The exact time of the 15-minute program has not been announced.
The new football coach will be interviewed soon after he arrives in Lawrence sometime late Saturday afternoon. A 15-minute tape recording will be made of the interview in the KANU-FM studios. Duplicate tape recordings will be shipped to member stations in the network and to any other radio station in the country that requests a recording of the interview.
On the program, Charles "Chuck Mather, the new coach, will be interviewed by Merle Harmon, KU Sports network director. The program will be broadcast over at least 25 Kansas radio stations affiliated with the KU Sports network Monday.
"On this program," Mr. Harmon said, "we hope that Mr. Matter will make his first official statement concerning his new job and what some of his policies and plans will be for the coming football season.
"With a few possible exceptions, no one really knows exactly what Mr. Mather's coaching plans are. We hope that during our radio interview, he will answer some of the major questions that many people have been asking concerning the football team, spring training, and the new assistant coaching staff."
A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, director of athletics and Mr. Harmun have been working since last December on this special program even though at that time the new coach had not been chosen.
