House Debates Truman Tax Plan Amid Split Vote
Washington reports the House Ways and Means Committee approved a $6.3 billion tax cut on a party line vote. President Truman’s plan faced a stronger pushback with 19 to 9 opposition. The Knutson bill would raise exemptions to $600, extend community property rules to all states, and offer 10 to 30 percent rate reductions, potentially freeing about 7.7 million people from further income tax. Senate Republicans signaled support for a reduction but withheld the amount pending budget details.
