GOP Leaders Weigh Recession No Tax Cuts Now
GOP leaders in Congress after White House talks said recession not serious enough to justify tax reductions or a major public works program at this time. Sen Knowland said review will occur before adjournment and noted unemployment expected to decline later this year with no artificial stimulus. Truman called the downturn temporary and not a depression, and Knowland warned public works would get serious consideration only if relief measures are needed near adjournment.
