House Democrats Push Tax Cut Bill Through House
In a sharp political split Democrats passed their income tax cut package despite Eisenhower opposition. The measure, 210-105 in the crucial vote, would give $20 off each individual and dependent’s tax, with broader extensions to preserve revenue, and moves to lower corporate and excise taxes for a year. The package totals suggest a large impact on Treasury revenues, while a final Senate path remains uncertain. City Scene note follows about a delivery truck incident at Lee and Clendenin streets.
