Johnson urges 10 percent tax surcharge to curb deficit
Secretary Fowler testified before Congress that a 10 percent income tax surcharge is urgently needed to reduce the deficit. He said the levy would lower this year's shortfall from 22.8 to 19.8 billion dollars and cut next year's gap from 20.9 to 8 billion, despite spending cuts and defense costs. He outlined the $10.4 billion rise in next year’s outlays and defended no-change tax receipts as insufficient without the surcharge.

No Evidence Of Rejection By Kasperak
Stanford doctors report no rejection in the heart transplant recipient Mike Kasperak who died after kidney and liver failures. Dr. Norman E. Shumway said findings may justify another clinical attempt. The substitute heart from Virginia White functioned well until Kasperak’s death. The team cited surviving a series of complications during the transplant period. Briton Dr. Donald Ross commented that death was not surprising given typical open heart surgery risks. Mrs. Ferne Kasperak received sedation after the announcement.
