Tax Battle Set Today In Senate
Senator Humphrey accused the Senate Finance Committee of turning President Truman's five billion dollar tax boost into a pork barrel and smoke screen that benefits wealthy taxpayers. He warned of rapid amendments to clean up the measure and a Wyoming senator's demand to link a three and a half billion dollar excess profits levy to the bill. The committee approved bill would keep tax loopholes costing the treasury over 500 million dollars yearly. Atlanta was chosen for the 1951 International Typographical Union convention.
