Dear Editor, I note President Johnson orders large cuts in limousine-type cars furnished by taxpayers for top officials. It seems unnecessary for high officials to have flashy autos, and cheaper hiring of capable people who still elevate status through service might be better. D. E. Scott Wellington.

Senate panel trims House tax plan to raise 11 percent
The Senate Finance Committee tentatively increased the 11.1 billion tax cut favored by the House to 11 percent while removing two major revenue sources. It kept state gasoline taxes and vehicle license costs deductible from income taxes, undoing House changes that would have eliminated these deductions and other tax exemptions. The Treasury had estimated the House change would yield 520 million dollars in new revenue. The committee action reduces projected revenue by 330 million dollars.
