President Kennedy, in a press
Just as the Democrats are apparently grooming
Franklin D. Roosevelt for a political future, beginning
with a senatorial race in New York, the Republicans
now seem to be looking to Robert Taft Jr. to perk up!
the party’s fortunes.
Taft won a statewide Congressman-at-large seat in
the past year’s elections easily. His name, of course, is
a famous one not only in Ohio but in all the country.
His father, grandfather and great grandfather all made conference a few days ago, was

43 Mote Down The Hatch
It is getting monotonous to comment on death by
air — commercial airline disasters. Nevertheless, it
might do some good if we keep the problem in the dis-
cussion stage.
Hie latest tragedy occured near Miami, after a Jet
airliner took off for Chicago and crashed in the Ever-
glades. All forty-three aboard were lost.
The report from Miami stated that the airliner took
off In squally weather. Naturally, no one will ever know
for certain the exact cause of this, the latest, air acci-
dent. But there is the chance that the airliner flew into
very turbulent air and broke up under the strain.
Restrictions on flying because of dangerous weather
conditions are not taken seriously enough in many con-
trol towers at airports across the nation. Most of the
time the planes and dispatchers get by with it — but in
too many cases we are counting heavy death tolls and
one cannot but suspect that some of these accidents are
avoidable.
however, is the
Chief Executive's views.
Last fall there was general
agreement that we probably wo-
uld have a recession starting
sometime this year. Then, for
reasons which have never been
entirely clear, there was a sud-
den and almost complete shift.
The result was that nearly every-
one started saying that this wo-
uld be a good business year. It
may be that the belief we would
have a tax reduction was re-
sponsible in a major way for
this change of outlook. At least
in one survey among private
economists an even fifty per-
cent said we would have such
tax action by the middle of 1963.
In general this moderate op-
timism has continued, not only
among private economists but
with government analysts as
well. Whether there still is as
wide confidence in tax reduc-
tion effective the middle of the
year is an open question. We
were never among those who
thought action could come that
early, and we still are of that
opinion. We think there will be
a tax bill this year, but that
any and all reductions will be
made effective not earlier than
S January 1964. And we are firm-
| ly convinced that the bill which

The one disturbing note is that
production has been unable so
far to break out of its long sta-
bility. This Ls measured by the
index of the Federal Reserve
, B;ard, which uses 1957-59 as
equal to 100. Since June of last
I year this index has been bc-
; tween 119 and 120. In February
it was 119.

less and less reason for anyone
to forecast a recession starting
in 1963.______
