Tolling tax plans loom as district votes near cuts
In a mixed verdict, A-4 district supporters won in Benton City Rush Hill and Laddonia but failed in Martinsburg. Absentee ballots favored the increase. Separately the House Ways and Means Committee backed an American couples tax rebate plan worth up to 80 annually for adults through 1981, with 28 in 1978 and rising later, while Carter’s per-person idea was rejected. The Times also notes Eisenhower letters cast doubt on Summersby claims about divorce plans. Mamie Eisenhower, aged 80, remains on the Gettysburg farm amid concerns over a forthcoming film.

Senators Reject House Ban Delay
The Senate Appropriations Committee unanimously struck down a House proposal to delay a saccharin ban for 15 months within an agriculture bill. Senator Eagleton said separate legislation delaying the ban would surface in both chambers, and FDA assurances indicated no ban before Oct. 1. The House amendment would have blocked the FDA plan and funded a $1 million study on cancer risks.
