Congress Struggles Over Veterans Economy Act Tax
Democratic leaders warn the House cannot stop a revolt against the Veterans Economy Act with new taxes. A Byrnes compromise would cut 75 to 100 million by limiting service connected cases to 25 percent. insurgent Democrats push for a straight 25 percent cap affecting 500000 World War I veterans with small non service related allowances. A separate traffic case ends with a $25 fine and jail in default.
