Congress May Extend High Taxes Started In Korean War
Washington reports Congress and the Air Force consider extending wartime tax rates for two more years to fund defense programs like Nike Hercules missiles. Rep William E Minshall favors a 24 month extension, aiming to preserve revenue while avoiding automatic tax cuts for auto makers and corporations.
