Congress eyes tax relief and debt limits in budget talks
Washington lawmakers close two months of session with hopes to avoid new taxes and debt increase. Leaders propose trimming Roosevelt budget by about 290 million dollars with farm support under debate. Roosevelts plan for 460 million in new taxes may be avoided through economies and selective relief funding. Barkley says parity payments for farmers could be reduced or dropped in joint committee. Senate action, House votes on trade program and pollution cooperation tie to broader funding and political debates.
