Washington January 6 fresh signs of deep seated differences between the White House and the Republican controlled Congress appeared as the 80th Congress reassembled.

Key chairmen attacked the budget and backed a 5600 million tax relief plan, while GOP leaders pressed for changes to the Marshall plan and warned against trimming revenues. The State of the Union message and budget plans were expected to sharpen the dispute through the session.
