Knowland Predicts Defeat For Trade And Tax Changes
Republican Leader Knowland of California said the Senate will beat down Democratic efforts to revise the administration’s reciprocal trade and tax revision bills. He plans a Monday conference with President Eisenhower to map steps toward adjournment by July 31 and notes no major action is planned today. The Senate opens debate on a one year reciprocal trade extension. Democrats seek a three year version with broader tariff cuts. House already approved a one year extension and will take up the tax bill next, which would cut taxes by about 2.48 billion dollars in year one without major rate changes. Democrats hope to boost individual exemptions or add a $20 flat credit if needed.
