Tax relief bill advances in House amid Senate adjournment threat
The House approved a proposed tax relief package 151 to 40, trimming personal and corporate rates and offering exemptions and credits.

The plan would exempt many seniors and low income workers, grant credits, and cut the personal rate from 2.3 to 2 percent in 1974 while lowering the corporate rate to 9.5 percent.
