Reynolds Plans Retroactive Wisconsin Income Tax Boost
Gov. John W. Reynolds plans a revenue package for the Wisconsin Legislature including a retroactive income tax increase of 4 of 1 per cent across the board, effective Jan. 1, with a $750 deduction for those earning $2,000 or less. The plan also features a new tax distribution formula, a $3 million annual bank tax, and optional repeal of the selective sales tax. The package aims to raise revenue for the 1963-65 budget and shift funds to municipalities via the new redistribution method. The governor will seek a 1 per cent hike if lawmakers accept the distribution reform, with sessions to resume next week.

Partisan Split Dims JFK Civil Rights Program Prospects
Washington AP reports a partisan split in Congress over President Kennedy's civil rights proposals dimming chances for major reform this session. Republicans criticized the plan, proposing a broader program and accusing Kennedy of political gain. NAACP welcomed the aim but urged stronger housing, school desegregation deadlines, and a robust federal fair employment law. Kennedy sought voting rights, desegregation aid, a four year extension of the Civil Rights Commission, and similar GOP goals with added desegregation court powers. House Speaker Emanuel Celler praised bipartisan potential and expressed confidence in nonpartisan enactment.
