Prospects for Beating Tax Cut Veto Grow
Washington March 6. Senator Aiken Vermont, who opposed the last GOP tax-cut bill, said he might back the measure the Senate Finance Committee will approve next week. If he votes yes, GOP hopes rise to pass a tax cut over President Truman's veto. Senator Morse Oregon and Senator Langer North Dakota were the other veto supporters. Langer doubted the $100 increase in personal income tax exemption is enough and urged a larger exemption, especially for families with many children.
