Senate Approves Broad Excise Tax Cuts in 1 Billion Plan
The Senate passed a bill slashing excise taxes by 1.034 billion dollars after defeating moves to extend cuts and to remove most levies. The vote was 76 to 8, with Byrd winning an amendment to restore the cabaret tax to 20 percent. The measure would cut household appliance levies from 10 to 5 percent and tax rates on admissions, furs, jewelry, cosmetics, sporting goods, and telephone bills. The administration warns against cuts, fearing a larger deficit, but House and Senate leaders expect a swift voyage to President Eisenhower for signature. The cuts take effect April 1.
