Eisenhower says Democrats err over tax plan relief fairness
President Eisenhower challenged Democratic claims that the administration tax bill omits relief for low income earners. He cited U S Steel as a major employer with stockholders many earning under 5 000 annually to argue the bill helps average citizens.
