Economy Figures Undercut LBJ Tax Hike Push
Washington AP reports that industrial output fell for the first time in four months as Fed data and Commerce Department figures complicate Johnson administration claims for a 10 percent income tax surcharge. Factors include a January Social Security tax rise, December retroactive pay, and Ford Motor Co strike aftershocks. The administration argues the economy remains noninflationary yet at risk if taxes aren’t raised, while Republicans tie the data to oppose the surcharge. Official unemployment remains at its lowest in 14 years, yet production and income slowed amid earlier recon firings and wage shifts.
