Tax Hearing Nears End As Senate Finance Weighs Cuts
Washington Aug 29 The Senate Finance Committee pressed toward final action on a $3 688 500 tax bill. It added 20 million in taxes and urged three new budgets cutting non defense expenditures for the current year by 1 0 and 1 5 billion. A 14 man joint committee would audit nonessential expenses. The committee proposed higher levies including an 8 million annual 10 percent tax on electric light bulbs and higher rates on corporate net income theater tickets and local telephone bills. It declined plans for higher gasoline fur cosmetics and other surcharges and rejected a minimum unemployment payment proposal.
