New Tax Bite Hits American Paychecks
The federal government began collecting a 10 percent income tax surcharge to fund the Vietnam War. The retroactive provision affects most workers, with withholding rising from $20 to $22 in weekly federal taxes.

The surcharge runs nine months in 1968 and expires June 20, with extension debated by officials.
