Budget Bureau Opposes Zinc and Lead Import Tax Bill
Budget Bureau Director Percival Brundage told Senator Mansfield the proposed import tax on zinc and lead would worsen inflation, hurt foreign and domestic producers, raise prices for domestic manufacturers, and blunt competition. The bill would tax zinc and lead at six cents a pound when domestic prices fall below thresholds for nine months, while another bill seeks lower import taxes.
