Plans Talk On Tax Policy From Eisenhower TV Address
President Eisenhower announced plans to discuss the administration tax bill on television and radio next week, outlining the program’s philosophy while avoiding specifics on an excise tax cut. Democratic calls to raise personal income exemptions and Treasury opposition to the exemption increase frame the background as Congress debates the measure. The House faces debate as the bill would cut or alter excise rates, including a broad 25 percent to 10 percent simplification, with liquor and tobacco exceptions, aiming to ease consumer prices and spur business activity amidst economic dips.
