The Senate voted 66 to 28 to extend current income tax cuts through 1977 and to maintain the state and local gasoline tax deduction as is. The Finance Committee had proposed ending the $35 per person tax credit next June 30 and reversing the deduction rules, but both actions were rejected amid criticism of special-interest amendments. The bill, tied to expanded child care and retirement income provisions, now heads back to the House for passage before Sept. 1 to prevent a withholding rate rise.
