Representative Mary T Norton of New Jersey failed to win a proposal to raise personal exemptions to 2500 for singles and 5000 for married taxpayers. The House moves quickly on federal income tax cuts while tax-exempt Liberty bonds face decline. A 3.50 percent yield on tax-exempt bonds equals a 4.67 percent yield on taxable bonds, with better returns from gilt edged mortgages.
