Reed Halts Profits Tax Battle on House Floor
Washington June 29 Republican Rep. Daniel Reed of New York halted his committee blockade on President Eisenhower's excess profits tax bill. A test of administration strength on the House floor was averted as Reed agreed to convene the Ways and Means Committee for July while administration allies secured a path for a tax extension. Speaker Martin favored settling the issue without a procedural fight, and leaders expected the extension to pass, potentially retroactively, with the levy reaching up to 82 percent on excess corporate profits.
