Congress Chiefs Of GOP See Defeat For Demo Tax Cut Plans
GOP leaders and President Eisenhower discussed the tax cut fight as Senate votes neared. Sen. Knowland said he expects Senate rejection of the Democratic plan, while Rep. Martin claimed enough votes to reverse a House move to cut taxes by 20 dollars for all starting January 1. The compromise in the Senate would grant a 20 dollar cut to families under 5,000 income and a 10 dollar per dependent reduction, while the House added this to an administration bill that would maintain current taxes past April 1. A new Senate GOP rift emerged as Sen. Young indicated he supports the Democratic tax move.
