House Passes Payroll Tax Freeze Bill
The House approved a two year freeze on the social security payroll tax at present rates, blocking an automatic increase. If enacted by the Senate and signed by President Truman, the measure would pause further rises while allowing tax hikes in 1950 to 1.5 percent and in 1957 to 2 percent. Absent the freeze the levy would rise to 2.5 percent in 1957. The current 1 percent tax yields about 1.5 billion annually for Social Security. The original law planned a gradual rise to 3 percent but Congress has kept it at 1 percent.

A showdown ballot would invite Soviet vetoes, jeopardizing the plan, so the council likely will resume debate on the military staff committee’s report and discuss it point by point.
