House Refuses To Concur In Amendments
The House declined to concur in Senate amendments to a first peacetime tax cut bill reducing wartime burdens by about 5.5 billion dollars. The measure goes to a joint committee to resolve the differences. The plan would erase 12 million low income people from the income tax rolls in 1946, with disputes over excess profits taxes and specific excise cuts. The conference will likely yield a figure between 5.0 and 5.8 billion dollars.
