whiqh she smuggled out of Russia before de
fecting to this 'country in April. The book
has already created a furor in the publish
ing world, with the , threat of an unauthor
izedi edition appearing in many countries.
Excerpts from the book, printed in The
New York Times and Life magazine, have
I
also stoked literary curiosity toward Mrs.
Alliluyeva's early life among the Kremlin's
most powerful figures.
• These excerpts have ranged from the
poignant recollection of her mother's suicide
and her feelings toward her father to somber
views of Stalin's Russia—including the
purges which imprisoned many of her
mother's - family.
The taste of sorrow, the touch of loss, the
sound of fear—all are examined in a one
hour ballet special, "Five Ballets of the Five
Senos," on Lincoln Center/Stage 5 pre
sented Wednesday at 10 p.m. on WPSX-TV.
John Butler, one of America's leading
choreographers, and four compos,ers—Robert
Starer, Benjamin Lees, Gunther.Schuller and
Eric ISiday—examine in music and dance each
of the five senses:
!Taste of Sorrow," with its original jazz
score by Gunther Schuller, is an abstract
suggestion of meetings, partings, and recon
ciliations. The resolution dramatizes the
most bitter taste of all—that of a human tear.
In "Scent of Flight" Eric Siday's original
eleclronic score and John , Butler's dancers
take a wry view. of a drug-induced "trip."
The three remaining senses are represent
ed hy "Touch of Loss" based on a poem by
Francois Villon; "Sound of Fear" a ballet' of
a prisoner's - escape; and "Sight of Beginning"
inspired by the story of David and Bathsheba.

Analyst Sees Boom in Economy
The minirecession appears to be over.
R. Hadly Waters, business analyst at the University,
noted today that theindex of physical production is climb
ing and is back to the level of August of last year, em
ployment is increasing and personal income continues to
rise monthly.
Housing starts are well above their low , point of last
October and the stockmarket is moving upward rather
strongly. AlthoUgh new manufacturing orders are down
slightly, this is due mostly to fewer orders for planes and
backlogs are still quite large.
"So," said Waters in his report on the national outlook
in the current issue of Pennsylvania Business Survey,
"boom and inflation still appear to be a greater threat than
recession:"
If the auto strike lasts through much of the fourth quar
ter, plants 'early next year will operate at full capacity to
catch up. Inventories were reduced drastically in the first
half of the year, but they are now being rebuilt, and the
possibility of a steel strike next summer may be expected
to cause stockpiling of steel supplies. to begin soon.
Improvenient Spending
SurveYs indicate that business on capital improve
ments next year is expected to run from 4 1 / 2 to 6 per cent
above 1967.
The current direction of business, therefore, tends to
support the argument that a tax increase in indicated. It; is
needed not only to curb a feverish business boom with its
danger of serious price inflation but also to cover some, of
next year's anticipated budgetary deficit, which Could
create a financial crisis, Waters said.
Despite the unusually widespread support for a 1 tax
surcharge, there are some who fear that it could cause a
recession and who advise waiting until a boom is in
progress. Then it may be too late, for fiscal.policy is likely
to be much more effective in preventing an excessive
business boom than in stopping one.
.Some also urge meeting the budgetary ,problem; by

cutting Government spending rather than by raising taxes.
Eliminating unnecessary expe4ditures alway's sounds very
attractive, but it must be remembered that ' the great ma
jority of budget items cannot be cut. With mole than half
of the budget going into defense and much of the rest
obligated items like interest, little is left which is dis
cretionary.
Of course, a cessation of hostilities in Vietnam would
permit a cut in military spending, which would solve the
budget deficit, end the dangeeof an excessive boom, and
make funds available for highly desirable domestic pro
grams.
The would-be budget cutters obviously have in mind
some of the newer welfare programs; but the seriousness
of the current problems of poverty, crime and racial injus
tice would appear to make these expenditures necessary—
in fact, they are so long overdue that they should really be
increased in order to be effective. It is interesting to note
that there is, little talk of redUcing expenditures of certain
kinds that might be considered postponable:; farm subsidies
that benefit the big farmers primarily; the four billion,
dollars going into new highways; the five-billion-dollar
space program; the supersonic transport which promises
to create a new kind of "boom" problem that is yet to be
solved.
- Plug Tax Holes ,
Some cuts in these expenditures could be quite help
ful, especially if accompanied by a really serious effort to
plug up holes in the tax structure. The Government's in
come could be considerably increased by revisions in the
law which would make it impossible for many large in
come receivers to pay less tax than small ones, and by
removal of the depletion alloWance which permits certain
favored industries to retain most of their profits.
Raising taxes in an election year will be very Unpop
plar, but a runaway price inflation in '1968 could be even
more disastrous to political ambitions.
