Suspension of Tax Incentive Is Predicted
The House Ways and Means Committee chair projects passage of President Johnson’s proposal to suspend special business tax incentives. Rep Wilbur D Mills notes the anti inflation program has a psychological effect though late in moving. Labor supports the tax plan while farmers seek exemptions at today's hearing. A separate measure would let federal agencies set interest ceilings on bank deposits, advance by Senate approved and awaiting Johnson’s signature. Farm groups plan to seek exemption for farm equipment purchases from the suspension.
