House Accepts Compromise On Excises
The House passed a compromise tax bill by a 365 to 9 vote sending it to President Eisenhower. It repeals half a billion dollars yearly in freight transportation surcharges and extends a year of Korea War era increases in corporate tax rates and other excises on autos, liquor, cigarettes, and car accessories. The measure averts a 2.115 billion revenue drop by July 1 but leaves untouched the 10 percent federal tax on rail, bus, and airline tickets.
