Taft Pledges 15 Percent Tax Cut If Elected President
Senator Taft of Ohio proposes a straight 15 percent tax cut if he becomes president. He says current taxes fuel inflation and that spending could be reduced to about 70 billion in year one and 60 billion in year two with 40 billion for armed forces and Europe aid and 20 billion for domestic needs. He criticizes Pentagon "land generals" and calls for supreme air power to deter Russia, and doubts permanent troop deployments or a permanent wage control law.
