Tax Cut Sponsors Have Advantage, Frear Says
Senator Frear argues tax cut sponsors have a stronger case amid business conditions, ahead of a Senate Finance Committee session drafting a major tax revision bill. The plan would not change major rates but cut about 1.4 billion dollars in the first year through broader deductions. A key proposal by Frear and others would raise personal exemptions from 600 to 800 dollars for 1954 and to 1,000 for 1955 and beyond, delivering a large annual cut while the administration contest says revenue loss is unsustainable. The amendment faces likely defeats in committee as the administration opposes the revenue loss despite its promise to boost purchasing power for low and middle income families. Frear notes a spring business pickup is typical, but none has occurred this year.

Indochina Action Laid Out Unless Backed By People
Senator Flanders quoted President Eisenhower saying the United States will take no military action in Indochina without regional public support. Pentagon officials rejected a French proposal to deploy B29 bombers, citing unavailable bases and need for pilot training. Senate Leader Knowland offered support if Congress is asked to authorize troops. House Speaker Martin said such action unlikely but cited free-world backing for anti-Communist nations. Martin canceled his Troy trip due to bad weather.
