Wright Patman’s Washington News Trade tax relief and policy notes
Secretary Humphrey says 75 cents of each tax relief dollar from last year went to big business or earners over $5,000. The pledge to aid the little fellow is cited as fulfilled by a $20 per capita tax credit. Government bond speculation is criticized and calls for protection above par. The piece warns about school funding inadequacy and alcohol advertising pressures on youth. It also questions foreign aid and a proposed International Finance Corporation, favoring domestic projects like water and flood control, and warns against drifting toward fascist influence in democracy.
