C10 Attacks Income Bill Draws Senate Debate
Washington March 3 The CIO urged the Senate Finance Committee to kill the 6 00 million income tax cutting bill passed by the House. Labor researchers called the measure a tax break for the wealthy while offering little help to low income taxpayers. Union leaders described the proposal as camouflage relief for the needy. The debate centered on limiting tax relief to those earning under 9 000 a year, with House supporters touting 1.5 billion in savings. Senate Democrats signaled opposition to a wide tax cut, aiming for a more modest package. Dallas reports.
