Truman Addresses Tax Talk and Steel Strike Tensions
President Truman said the steel strike creates a serious situation while noting Ike remains a friend. Taft backs a 15 percent tax cut if president, Eisenhower has not endorsed such cuts. Truman argues cuts of that size would worsen the deficit and says no Democratic president would slash taxes that much. He indicated Ike is not running in the Democratic campaign and offered no action on steel or Taft Hartley. He reaffirmed civil rights aims and described Seaway support, while avoiding direct stance on MacArthur speech at the Republican convention.
