Tax Relief Deferred to January After White House Talks
Washington. Tax relief was postponed to the January congressional session after President Roosevelt met with Democratic leaders. Senator Barkley and Rep. Doughton said no tax bill could pass before Christmas. A bipartisan tax relief bloc of over 60 members formed to seek an early special session to revise corporate surplus and capital gains taxes. The plan couples business levy relief with funding farm programs and a broad omnibus to simplify revenue. Retroactive relief for 1937 aims were stated by Rep. Emanuel Celler.
