GOP Fights Boost In Tax Exemptions
In Washington the Eisenhower administration resists a proposed rise in individual income tax exemptions from 600 to 1000 dollars. House Republicans and Democrats clash over the plan with Rep. Boggs predicting Congress will approve a boost that could save taxpayers about two billion dollars annually while costing the government the same amount. Secretary Humphrey defends the administration saying higher exemptions threaten deficit financing and deny funds for national security, as tax reductions for 1954 are already projected to exceed six billion dollars.
