Paycheck Withholding Increases and Tax Changes
The tax package raises withholding next April and limits personal exemptions to single earners under 1000 dollars and married couples under 2000 dollars. It retroacts for corporations to January 1 and speeds tax payments. Excise taxes on autos stay at 7 percent and telephone tax at 10 percent. The package aims to raise over 15 billion dollars in the new fiscal year and reduce the deficit by more than 20 billion. Labor reports a 0.3 percent May cost of living rise, with commerce officials noting a slowdown in growth hinting at further impact from the surcharge.

Mansfield Says Two Choices For Colleagues
Griffin plans a filibuster against the nomination and claims Southern Democrat support. The bloc criticizes the Warren court since its liberal era began with the 1954 desegregation ruling. Fortas often sided with Warren on major decisions since 1965. Senate cloture requires two thirds to end a filibuster, with Republicans counting 19 GOP signers and potential support from the rest. Southern Democrats could oppose cloture, threatening the vote count.
