Tax credit
would hurt
middle class
Congress ponders
impact of revision
N. Y. Times Service
WASHINGTON Voters may net
enjoy the joke if Congress promises to
cut taxes and men their taxes go op.
That is why Congress may reject me
biggest innovation in President Car-ter's
tax program, his proposal to give
everybody a tax credit instead of a
personal exemption.
Substitution cf the credit for the
exemption would cut taxes for a typical
family of four with income below
$ 20,008, the adnmistratioji says. True,
but the. credit would raise- tax- es on
toeanses above $ 20,080, and these are
the folks who are complaining loudest
about the unfairness oftoe tax system.
Congress is listening. The House
Ways and Means Committee, taking its
first detailed look at the president's
plan last week, immediately reacted by
demanding more relief for middle- incom- e
taxpayers.
That probably means the committee
will juggle the rate reductions
recommended by the administration, to
provide deeper cuts ia income brackets
from about $ 29,( MW to $ 30,030 or $ 40,09).
Solicitude for the middle class also may
doom the idea of a tax credit, according
to committee sources.
It's too soon for firm predictions of
the bill's final provisions. After three

Faculty raps
for Stephens
Stephens College faculty members
overwhelmingly voted against the
administration's plans for coping with
the school's economic problems in a
meeting described as " open, honest,
angry and, 3t times , hostile."
The results of the meeting, held last
Friday, were made public Thursday.
Faculty members, claiming they
have not received adequate financial
information and program rationale,
refused 82-- 0 to consider recom-mendations
for curriculum revision,
academic reorganization and faculty
reductions.
In a 82-- 0 vote, the faculty also decided
to oppose the faculty salary freeze.
Both recommendations were submitted
for faculty and student discussions by a
steering committee in December.
During the heated discussion a
motion of no confidence in Stephens
President Arland Christ- Jan- er was
made and tabled. " The motion of no
confidence was the result of the anger
and frustration expressed at the
meeting," said Martha Rainbolt,
chairperson of the faculty senate.
Christ- Jane- r, unavailable for com-ment,
was reported in Stephens life,
the campus newspaper, as saying. " I
came in here under a vote of no con-fidence
and my position apparently
hasn't deteriorated;?!
" I know that since I've come here,
Fve done nothing but break bad news to
this community, and for some it began
when I was elected. But what I found
when I got here was a series of
problems. Where we've been deluded is
that we thought we'd invent something
never thought of before. The spec-tacular
may not be an option for us."
The papa also quoted him as saying,
" Save your ballots. I have the feeling
it's probable we're in for worse times
before we get better times."
" The emotions expressed at the
meeting were genuine," Ms. Rainbolt
said. " We really felt all these things.
We just kind of talked honestly about
the issues and the way we felt."
John Ludeman, instructor in
psychology, said, " It was all very
unofficial. The meeting cleared the air
and presented issues which we might
not have confronted if we hadn't had the
meeting."
Despite the sentiment of the faculty,
Christ- Jane- r insisted that faculty cuts
are a necessary measure to help bring
the economically ailing college back on
its feet, Stephens life said. " Last
summer, we borrowed $ 800,000 just to
get through the summer. We paid that
back. This summer we may nave to
borrow in excess of$ 1 million."
Christ- Jan- er said Stephens is
currently 30 percent behind its normal
rate in applications for admission to
next year's entering class. " Our hope is
. . . we're behind because students are
searching for financial aid and haven't
filled out the new forms yet"
Not everyone was as willing to be
optomistic. Ludeman expressed con-cern
that Stephens may have to shut
down, the newspaper said. " We have to
decide when the time to stand ground
has come. We can erode only to a
certampoint We don't want to die inch
by inch."

Russian flu attacks military
Year'g second flu epidemic may be possible
ATLANTA ( UP!) Outbreaks of Russian flu
were reported Thursday at military bases and
academes and in other areas of the nation,
signaling a possible second epidemic wave cf
influenza in the UnitedStates this winter.
The national Center for Disease Control issued a
report of confirmed A- US- SR flu outbreaks, listing
tone separate localities scattered across the
country where the Russian influenza strain has
The presence of the Russian flu virus makes it
the rami strain of A- ty- pe influenza circulating
concurrently in the American population, a
medical oddity not previously recorded.
Don Berreth, CDC public information director,
said apart from the nine localities where Russian
flu has been confirmed, " additional outbreaks are
under investigation."
Russian flu epidemics were confirmed at the
US. Military Academy in West Point, N. Y., and
the Air Force Academy in Colorado. A flu- lik- e
illness with clinical symptoms resembling those of
the A- USS- R virus, also hit the V. Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Md. Specimens of the
virus vrere sent to state laboratories for iden-tification.
The first documented cases cf Russian influenza
occurred among high school students at Cheyenne,
Wye, during the week of January 15. Since then,
outbreaks have been detected ia the Southwest,
North Central and Eastern Seaboard areas of the
country.
The increasing number of Russian flu cases
coincides with epidemics caused by the A- Te- xas
and A- Victo- ria influenza viruses in at least 37
states. The latter two strains, with most of the
illness being caused by the A- Te- xas variety, have
accounted for an estimated 1,100 lives since the
epidemic started carry in January.
No protective vaccine is available for either the
Russian or the A- Tex- as flu strains. But govern-ment
health officials have recommended that a
vaccine be ready to combat both strains next fall
when a second wave of the A- US- SR virus may
occur.
In its assault on the nation's military academies,
the Russian flu virus has shown an attack- rat- e
ability ranging from 50 to more than 60 percent At
West Point, the CDC said the illness occurred in
about 2,400 of the 4,400 cadets. The Air Force
Academy reported a 60.5 percent attack rate
among its 4,200 cadets. The flu- li- ke illness at
Annapolis tut 3,000 of 4,300 midshipmen, most of
whom were treated in the last week.
Rlness caused by the Russian flu virus was
described as mild, marked by the usual flu
symptoms of chills, muscles aches, headache,
cough and lasting up to three days. The virus, as
had been expected, has attacked young people
under age 23- 2- 5 almost exclusively.
