High Court Reverses Debt Case Verdict
Wisconsin Supreme Court overturns a La Crosse County Court ruling in a First Credit Corp case against William R. and Barbara Behrend. The court held that a lender cannot claim damages from a borrower for false statements when the lender knew of the lies but accepted them, rejecting the notion of balancing equities in a large falsehood versus a small one. The decision notes First Credit knew some statements were false but did not gauge the full magnitude of the lie. The ruling emphasizes reliance on a known falsehood cannot exist for recourse in the contract.

Congress Tax Bill Faces Nixon Backing Amid Employment Debate
The administration can keep operating the minority employment system on 14 projects, mostly near Philadelphia, as Congress negotiates a massive tax bill. The plan offers a large income tax reduction and a 15 percent rise in Social Security benefits. It projects $6.8 billion in extra Treasury revenues over 18 months, with reductions eventually surpassing revenue provisions. Individual exemptions rise gradually from $600 to $750, while low income provisions will remove over 5 million people from the tax rolls.
