Tax Reduction Hopes Doused By Humphrey
Washington June 14 Prospects of an early tax cut faced a chill as Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey and Federal Reserve Chairman William Martin testified before a Senate House Economic subcommittee. Budget Director Percival Brundage said it would be very bad to push tax cuts now, citing inflationary pressures and rising federal spending. He urged maintaining a budget surplus and debt reduction, with tax relief only when justified by the outlook, noting possible reductions for part of 1959.
