Opinions Clash on Taxation and Relief Planning
Washington debated tax policy with bankers and insurers spared from a new levy on undistributed corporate earnings. Roosevelt’s request for a 1.5 billion relief appropriation sparked partisan clashes but Democrats signaled likely approval amid support for a middle-ground approach.
