U S Mortgaged To Hilt In Senate Tax Debate
In Washington a major Senate tax policy debate opened as Senator Byrd argued the government is mortgaged to the hilt and cannot cut taxes without cutting spending. He cited a 280 billion debt and urged restraint except in national emergencies. Senator Kerr countered for targeted tax relief to boost employment and production. Two House and Senate proposals seek tax cuts, one favoring $20 per taxpayer and extending corporate rates, the other a Democratic plan to aid lower incomes while raising corporate taxes. Weeks criticized a rival plan, and Gore’s highway funding proposal faced opposition. The report also notes investigations into McCarthy era ties and Commerce Secretary Weeks’ remarks on energizing fiscal policy. The Chicago AMA report predicted medical schools would graduate 7300 to 7800 doctors in 1960.
