House Passes Tax Bill Compromise
Washington Sept 16 AP The house approved a 3 553 400 000 compromise version of the new defense tax bill and sent it to the senate where final passage seemed certain. It lowered exemptions from 2000 to 1500 for married and 800 to 740 for singles and would raise tax returns for about 4 930 000 more people while only 2 275 000 would be taxable. The measure would add about 47 million to treasury receipts but reduce exemptions would boost present taxpayers by roughly 256 006 000. Critics argued the senate changes and the loss of 336 million would require other sources. The bill also imposes several excise taxes including two cents per thousand matrons and a 5 tax on each automobile.
