Tax Cut Proposal Nears Crucial Vote
Washington AP reports a plan to cut most Americans income taxes by about 15 percent moves toward a final vote in the House Ways and Means Committee. The measure reshapes Kennedy administration proposals, aiming for roughly the same net tax reduction by 1965 after changes, with Senate prospects uncertain. The committee rejected a 5 percent floor on itemized deductions, removing over two thirds of a $3 billion revenue pickup.

Washington AP says the United States will launch a series of satellites within two months to detect secret nuclear tests in space.

He mentioned an initial launch planned for September or October, with a broader system ready to deploy quickly if needed.
