Tractors Trigger Debate Over Tax Deductions
Washington debate centered on whether donations to a private committee sending tractors to Cuba count as tax deductible. Senator Byrd demanded IRS testimony to justify any ruling, amid Kennedy's private fundraising for 500 tractors to swap for 1,200 prisoners from the failed invasion. President Kennedy defended tax exemptions for charitable actions aiding needy refugees, while others warned against distortions to tax law. Knight declined to join the Tractors for Freedom Committee, citing opposition to deals aiding Castro. Eleanor Roosevelt said experts will study tractor needs in Cuba before delivery.
