Washington reports indicate a possible across the board personal and corporate tax increase if Vietnam War costs grow. Treasury Secretary Fowler briefed the House committee while administration officials urged a 16 month suspension of two tax breaks and rejected credit controls. Johnson vetoed a bill funding higher life insurance for top federal employees, saying it exceeded his recommendations and taxpayer limits.

Tax Benefits Face Suspension Amid Vietnam War Pressures
President Johnson seeks to suspend the 7 percent investment tax credit for 16 months to curb inflation while war continues. Treasury and administration signals imply the credit may be kept off until conditions improve, with possible extension beyond January 1, 1968 if hostilities persist. The move reflects a balancing of wartime needs with economic growth goals.

Dirksen Holds Key To Fate of Housing Bill
President Johnson said passage of the open housing civil rights bill hinges on Senate GOP Leader Everett Dirksen. A late Wednesday vote to end the filibuster is expected to fail, with Mansfield likely dropping the measure. Dirksen opposes the partial ban on housing discrimination and both jury bias and other civil rights provisions face scrutiny. In England, a bingo card computer system caused 600 simultaneous winners, each receiving two cents.
