Avery Balks At Tax Hike Opposition to highway tax plan
Rep Avery R Kas opposes Fallon D Ma proposal to raise federal excise taxes to fund an expanded highway program. The bill would lift gasoline from 2 to 3 cents per gallon, diesel from 2 to 6 cents, tires and tubes from 5 to 9 cents, and even to 50 cents a pound for some items. He calls the increases inequitable and illogical, noting agricultural use taxes are treated unfairly.

Foreign Aid In Crossfire In House Budget Fight
A $2 638 741 750 foreign aid bill faces sharp House debate as budget cutters and boosters clash over cuts. The Appropriations Committee trimmed $627 9 million below Eisenhower requests to fund military and economic aid for non Communist nations, adding to $8 717 1 million in unexpended previous balances. Some lawmakers say cuts are insufficient while others argue they are too deep. Rep John Taber opposed further large cuts, backing the bill, while Rep Passman predicted no major changes after House action, likely before Senate consideration.
