President Truman urges swift tax bill for 1946
President Truman asks Congress for a transitional tax bill to cut taxes for 1946 and speed reconversion, arguing it will aid peacetime expansion. He warns of a $30 billion deficit this year with $50 billion in war costs and $66 billion total outlays. He also calls for full employment laws, extended unemployment support, higher minimum wage, and stronger readjustment powers. In Winnipeg, a coroner’s jury ruled Walter Johnson shot his wife Olena Johnson, then died by suicide, after disputes over medical checks.
