Tax Revision Proposals Split Over Exemptions And Dividends
The article outlines Republican and Democratic positions on an income tax revision. Republicans defend the plan as fair and beneficial to consumer buying power, while critics warn of potential revenue losses harming financial stability. Secretary Humphrey urges enactment, defending dividend tax cuts, though AFL-CIO chief Meany calls the proposal class legislation. The bill would expand exemptions and broaden deductions for individuals and offer greater depreciation, losses, and foreign income provisions for corporations.

Defense Sec Wilson Defends Army on Red Infiltration
Defense Secretary Wilson told the Senate Armed Services Committee that no subversion in the armed forces has been uncovered beyond what defense officials already knew. He defended Army and Stevens against charging coddling Communists and discussed changing the doctors draft law to bar loyalty questions before commissioning. Wilson cited 51 drafted doctors and dentists denied commissions for loyalty concerns, with only 20 disqualified for serious loyalty issues and the rest for other disqualifications. He asserted full confidence in Army officials and stressed discharging disloyal officers rather than commissioning them. The hearing also touched on whether the services could honorably discharge and court-martial nonloyal doctors.
