Tax bill debate shifts after passage in Senate
Mark Sullivan reports Washington May 16 that sentimentfavoring a veto wanes now that the bill has passed. A better but not certain path would be an emergency 20 percent tax cut, while the approved plan lowers the surtax cap from 50 to 40 percent.

President Coolidge will weigh the bill against Congress' likely actions.
