Analysts warn tax increases could occur again in 1967 or 1968 as the Vietnam war costs rise beyond two billion dollars monthly. The strategy aims to avoid spreading tax burdens before elections while expecting political pressure to ease.

New Social Security Law Affects Self Employed Farmers
Al Bracken, district manager in Waco, says the new Social Security Law lets self employed farmers with net under 1600 dollars report higher earnings for benefits. If gross is at least 2400, but net under 1600, report 1600. if gross under 2400, may report actual net or two thirds of gross. This helps secure credits for years with losses or small profits.
