Eisenhower Tax Deadlock Persists In Congress
Washington leaders await a new move from President Eisenhower to break the tax deadlock. Reed offered a six month extension of the excess profits tax to Oct 1 with a 10 percent cut in individual taxes, but Humphrey warned this would cut revenue. Halleck floated a limited exemption for small corporations, yet there was little enthusiasm. Reed refuses to bring the administration bill to a vote as the stalemate continues.
