Senate Okays Tax Cuts
The $4 billion annual income tax cut cleared the Senate 48 to 28 and goes to the White House with uncertain fate. The House approved 220 to 99, but both chambers face a two thirds vote to override a Truman veto. The measure offers 10.5 to 30 percent cuts effective July 1. Taft urged Truman to avoid a veto, arguing it would align him with high taxes.
