No Tax Action by President Before Leaving for West
President Truman will not act on the 4 billion income tax cut bill before departing for Kansas City Friday morning. Secretary Ross said he does not know if the president will act before leaving for Canada Monday after returning from the Midwest. The bill reaches the president's desk soon, with a 10 day window to approve or veto, and it aims to take effect July 1, triggering widespread changes in withholding tax instructions nationwide. Senate passage was 48-28, short of the two thirds needed to override a veto. Iowa senators Wilson and Hickenlooper supported the measure.
