Administration Forces See Passage of Modified Rum Plan
Washington May 9 Administrations forces expect Senate passage of a modified Rum plan and seek a House compromise to avert a presidential veto. Chairman George of the Senate Finance Committee favors broad forgiveness of 75 percent of one year’s liability, shifting the rest to two years, raising current revenues and possibly avoiding a rate hike. The bill would place about 97 percent of taxpayers on a current basis with near full abatement, except about 3 percent with windfall incomes who face adjusted liability.

WLB Declines New Truce Move Over Coal Wage Clash
Washington May 9 A War Labor Board spokesman said the WLB will not seek another strike truce with John L. Lewis if the United Mine Workers coal wage dispute remains unsettled by the May 19 expiry of the current 15 day agreement. The board maintains its pre strike order extending old wage contracts until a new accord is reached, rendering future truce agreements unnecessary. A state of uncertainty looms as a fact finding panel continues hearings and a decision before May 19 is unlikely.
