Ike Proposals Near Test With Major Levy Cuts
Three Ike proposals near test would cut taxes by about 1.4 billion dollars in the first year through various benefits for individuals and businesses. Sen George and two colleagues sponsor a move to cut individual income taxes by 4 percent this year by boosting the personal exemption from 600 to 800 dollars for each taxpayer and dependent. A Democratic drive for a boost to 700 dollars narrowly failed in the House. The administration opposes due to revenue loss. Aimed to help stockholders with dividend income, the plan would cost 240 million the first year and 814 million annually when fully in force. The social security bill is expected to win House approval soon, though Senate action is pending. Two GOP opponents attacked key points but signaled passage. The bill would raise the wage base from 3,600 to 4,200 dollars for social security contributions.
