Johnson denounces Humphrey in tax cut clash
Washington Democratic leader Lyndon Johnson said the Senate will act on the proposed income tax cut without Treasury Secretary Humphrey. He mocked Humphrey as pursuing a business secretary role like Mellon and urged Congress to pass a bill it prefers. The plan would cut tax revenue by about 908 million yearly, mainly aiding those under 5000 dollars income, offset by repealing dividend tax cuts and faster depreciation for business firms.
