Sure Thing Tax Cut Sparks Administration Debate
Washington reports say Eisenhower's advisers press ten officials to curb talk that tax cuts are a sure thing this year. They warn such expectations may chill consumer spending and prolong the recession. An administration official said the president’s stance remains to seek Congress action, with mid-April data guiding any move. Opposition to a tax cut is noted as growing in Capitol Hill. Other notes include possible extension of unemployment benefits, a debated package between 0.5 and 1.0 billion, and a major anti-recession highway bill advancing in the Senate.
