Herlong Seeks Extended Tax Relief Amid Worker Objections
Congressman A. S. Syd Herlong Jr said he plans to vote to extend the Excess Profits Tax, arguing relief should first reach workers who have had deductions from paychecks. He warned the bill could stifle business growth but supports worker relief before corporate aid. He also endorsed the Reciprocal Trade Agreements extension and Wheat Marketing Quota bill with safeguards, noting a potential record wheat crop and essential quotas. The week’s agenda includes the Trip Leasing bill to aid Florida truckers, with future consideration of the Mutual Security Act and the Excess Profits Tax Bill amid controversy.
