Tax bill tightens dividend taxes in broad reform push

Washington AP reporting a sweeping tax cut bill would raise faster dividend tax relief to about 11 billion dollars, surpassing Kennedy proposals. The plan trims the 4 percent dividend credit, gradually to 2 percent in 1964, and ends it thereafter, while doubling the exempt first dividend amount for joint holdings. The measure faces House and Senate doubts and a GOP counterattack as committee work continues and the bill awaits formal language.

CAB Cutback of Airline Hit by Hub Officials

Washington officials and airline spokesmen attacked a Civil Aeronautics Board decision to end Northeast Airlines operations south of New York. They argued the plan harms New England, risks 1,500 jobs, and could create a monopoly on the New York to Florida air corridor while CAB leaders pledged to maintain adequate regional service or subsidize replacements.
