Law proposal would let taxpayers claim 2 percent income tax credit
Kep Melvin Laird of Wisconsin introduced legislation allowing taxpayers to collect a 2 percent credit on income tax withholdings. Separately a spy plane crash near northeast New Mexico triggered heavy security after a 2,000 mile per hour craft went down, killing James T. Zwayer of Lancaster, California. Insurance bureaus plan to end ten percent premiums discounts for compact cars, arguing experience shows no fewer accidents or lower repair costs. The Johnson Fulbright rift is described as a newspaper myth, while the president’s 1966-67 agriculture budget cuts milk subsidies for school children.
