Last-Ditch Fist For Rosenbergs

Reed predicts tax cuts or Democratic control in 1954
U S Representative Daniel A Reed predicts that failing to cut taxes this year could hand the 1954 Congress election to the Democrats. He disputes President Eisenhower on immediate tax reductions and backs a planned six month extension of the excess profits tax only if needed. Reed chairs the Ways and Means Committee and pushes for a July 1 date for the scheduled individual tax cut. A House hearing plan on wholesale tax revision includes allowing a deduction for child care by working mothers. In Thurmont area, the Eyler farm sale brought 7500 dollars, with other local property sales and auctions noted.
