He notes sincere protesters but questions motives of some organizers as he heads to New York for the UN session. A Texas fundraiser raised over 3.5 million dollars, a record, with Walter Mischer chairing. Reagan’s return to the hotel was delayed when his Lincoln stalled in traffic due to carburetor trouble.

Tax Cut Brings Small Paycheck Gains in July
Washington(AP) A median-wage worker with a spouse and two children will net about $6 more per week starting July as withholding falls to $53.60 from $62.90, a 10.1 percent drop. The change, part of a staged tax cut, will vary by earnings and family status, with a single filer at $100 weekly seeing only 40 cents less withheld and a $1,000 weekly earner saving up to $13.40. Most taxpayers will not notice big shifts in refunds or owed taxes next spring, as withholding aligns with actual tax reductions. The Treasury notes a second stage arrives July 1, 1983 unless Congress acts. Despite the cut, Social Security taxes and bracket effects will offset gains, with a one-earner, four-member family at median income facing net federal tax increase of $127 due to higher Social Security taxes totaling $2,171, reflecting changes in rates and allowed earnings.
