Eisenhower blasts tax relief hopes amid communism charge
President Eisenhower, in a nationwide radio address, blamed Communist gunfire and Democratic waste for blocking early tax relief. He outlined a five point plan including a six month extension of the excess profits tax, postponement of rate cuts, and keeping Social Security taxes at 11.2 percent. Republican and Democratic leaders voiced support, but many rank and file Republicans balk at tax cuts this year. He warned the 1954 deficit could reach about 5.6 billion even with his program and offered no fixed date for a balanced budget.
