Proxmire Sees Passage Of Tax Reform
Democratic Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin told a New Orleans audience that the tax reform bill in Congress has an even chance of passage. He noted President Kennedy’s hint of a possible tax cut next year could dampen support and said he would favor increasing exemptions over an across the board percentage cut. He spoke to the Louisiana State Pharmaceutical Association supporting a price stabilization bill for competitive drugs to help small retailers compete with mail order houses and discount chains by enabling purchases at enforceable retail prices.

Hike In Steel Price Possible In September
NEW YORK AP The Iron Age said the clash with President Kennedy rules out a price rise before September with only a selective hike possible. A $2 a ton rise could occur July 1 when a new labor contract takes effect, amid low demand and 50 percent capacity use. The note cites regional transfers and flexible work provisions as disruptive. September increases could align with recovering orders and past liquidation.

The five year eradication plan, funded 70 percent by the federal government and 30 percent by states or groups, has a total federal ceiling of 6.3959 million with over 2.3 million already appropriated and a 940000 request for the current year. Lane said control measures work well for water hyacinths but less success against alligator weed.
