Washington dispatch reports a Democratic Insurgent majority endorsing continuation of the merchant marine with greater Shipping Board power, opposing cabinet-level control. The plan favors the board electing its own chairman, managing routes, ships, and sailings, and remaining independent from the president. A minority urged fleet corporation trustees appointed by the president and essentially moving headship to that corporation.

Washington December 11. The House approved broad reductions in income tax under the revenue bill. The surtax would drop from 40 to 26 percent with reductions in normal taxes.

The bill also raises the earned income credit threshold from 16 000 to 20 000 and lowers rates on the initial income brackets.
