House Group Votes Cuts For New Tax Bill
The House Ways and Means Committee voted a 75 million dollar cut in manufacturers excises in its first action on the new tax bill. It would repeal taxes on household cookstoves water heaters and electric irons and remove taxes on baby buggies toys and lawn mowers. The panel kept auto tires and related parts taxed and rejected trimming on several auto and lubrication items while aiming to reduce excises on luxury goods pending further action. The move diverges from President Truman proposals and secretary Snyder warned against reducing manufacturers excises.
