Senate Expected To Pass Surcharge Bill
Washington AP The Senate is expected to approve the House taxed 10 percent income surcharge aimed at trimming the deficit. President Johnson intends to sign despite objections to a mandatory $6 billion spending cut across agencies. The measure retroactively raises taxes for individuals and corporations and would expire next June unless renewed. The bill, which could raise about $15.5 billion, preserves several riders including a one-year delay on a welfare matching freeze and a controversial work provision for mothers.

Passamaquoddy Tribe Moves Toward Modern Times
The Passamaquoddy Indians, about 1,000 strong in Maine, push into the 20th century with voting for state representative, local taxes, and woodcutting on their 18,000 acre Princeton reservation. Leaders cite education housing and health as top needs while seeking state aid and outside technical help to run their affairs. The state’s Indian affairs role is under review as Maine redirects policies away from old welfare approaches, with tribal authorities gaining some legislative powers and a tribal housing authority being created.
