Taft Doubts Tax Slash in Initial Year
Senator Taft of Ohio doubts a tax cut in the first year of the new Republican majority and urges spending cuts to 70 billion dollars in the coming fiscal year and 60 billion the next. He says a tax reduction could come in 1954 or early 1955 and discusses possible leadership roles without seeking the job. He expects orderly Senate organization and hints Morse of Oregon may be considered for committees despite an independent stance. He proposes a three-man GOP leadership group to meet with the incoming president.
