Tax Cut Seen Vital To Economic Boost Ball Club Sale Is Imminent; $5 Million Bid Veeck, Doiin Make Offer; 2 Directors Also Seek Control By FRANCIS STANN BUr staff Writer | Developments on several fronts today made it all but certain that the Washington Senators baseball team will be sold in the near future—per haps within 48 hours—and Uiat Club President El wood R. < Pete > Quesada will be out of the picture. Although club directors are extremely guarded in what few comments they are willing to make, it appears that the future of the team lies in one of two directions. • First, The Star has learned that a group headed by Bill Veeck artd Nate Dolln has of fered to purchase the team for 45 million and the offer is being seriously considered. Second. James M. Johnston, one of tire 10 directors, told The Star that he and Director James H. Lemon are interested in acquifing the shares of other directors. This was taken to mean that Johnston would like to form a group which would keep control of the club fn the hands of Washingtonians. Decision Due Shortly Everything is hush-hush, but there are many hints that a decision is imminent. Doiin. former co-owner of the Cleveland Indians, said eight of the 10 Senators stock holders. including Quesada. < have voted for the sale to his , group, which has been dicker ing for months. "The offer is there." Doiin ' said by telephone from his home in suburban Cleveland. "I have posted $500,000 in es crow to bind the deal. The rest is up to the two remaining stockholders, who seem to want some special concessions.” ! | If Dolln's group is able to complete the purchase, the titular head of the ball club will be Veeck, who will be an equal partner with Doiin. Lengthy Negotiations "I began to deal with the Senators in September.” Doiin said. "A week ago—last Sun day—l would have said that we'd made a deal. But the next day the attorney of one of the two dissenting stock holders called me to specify de mands which Mr. Veeck and I are not prepared to meet "We’ve already offered $5 million for a club that cost the stockholders only $3 mil lion two years ago. I think that’s sufficient. We don’t even know what we’re buying How many good ball players | do the Senators have?” Dolln, acting as spokesman , for Veeck and a group to be named in the event the trans action is completed, was re luctant to single out the two 1 stockholders who have been j holding up the purchase. "But General Quesada is not one,” Doiin said. Another source identified the two holdout stockholders as brokers, Johnston and Lemon. Meanwhile, there were indi cations that counter-moves to the offer of the Veeck-Dolin group might be developing. The Associated Press carried a re port that Johnston. Lemon and George M. Bunker, an-, other director, are Interested; in buying Quesada’s stock. The AP story said some of the other original stockholders; also desire to sell to the John ston-Lemon-Bunker group.

COHN Star Staff Writer Tax cuts—and only tax cuts —can pull the Nation’s econ omy out of its lethargy, Wal ter W. Heller, chairman of President Kennedy’s Council of Economic Advisers, said today. "Apart from tax reduction, one finds no prospect of a sus tained rise in demand which might carry the economy with in striking distance if its pro ductive potential,” Mr. Heller said in testimony before the Senate-House Economic Com mittee. Even if Congress enacts the 'President’s program of tax re ductions and reforms. Mn Hel ler said, the economy this year will not make much headway in reducing unemployment and narrowing the gap of S3O bil - lion and S4O billion between ac tual and potential production. Delay in Impact "Only in 1964 and 1965 will the impact of the proposed tax program be reflected in large increases in demand and con sequent reduction in unemploy ment." Mr. Heller said. But, he continued, the tax program and other measures ’can set the stage for one of the most exciting expansionary periods in our economic his tory.” He said the administration’s economic policies follow three major lines of action: Measures to stimulate faster gains in productivity through 1 investment, research and edu cation: measures to generate higher levels of demand and stronger markets for both con sumer goods and investment goods, and measures to help adapt manpower and capital to the economy's changing de mands. Inflation Risk Appraised Mr. Heller minimized the in flationary potential of the tax program and budget deficits. He said "the setting for ex pansionary action is now un usually favorable” because prices and unit labor costs have been almost stable for five j years and competition is keen. But he conceded that the risks of inflation will Increase as the economy moves closer to full employment of manpower and other resources. The tax program, Mr. Heller said, is designed to blunt in flationary pressures by putting rate reductions into effect gradually and changing the tax structure to encourage mo bility of labor and capital. Mr. Heller said the Govern ment will stand ready to com bat inflationary pressures through use of monetary pol icy and application of "guide posts" for wage and price sta bility. Concept Is Challenged Representative Curtis, Re publican of Missouri, challenged the administration's concept that there is a gap between the economy's performance and i potential. Perhaps. Mr. Curtis said, the economy’s troubles stem from "growing pains” rather than “tired blood.” He also challenged Mr Hel ler's basic statistical premises, and said the tax reduction pro gram faces vigorous debate. Representative Patman, Democrat of Texas, suggested that the Federal Reserve Board may wipe out the stimulative effects of tax reductions by tightening monetary policies See ECONOMIC.
