Disagreement Over Tax Bill Between Houses Deepens
Washington June 15 The rift between the senate and house over war funding widens as the war revenue bill is redrafted by the senate finance committee and prepared for submission. Key differences include house income taxes raising about 600 million and a 1 percent passenger tax, while the senate trims big income taxes and cuts or shifts taxes on excess profits, express rates, and utilities. The senate plan would raise about 4.5 billion. An additional one billion dollar bond issue is being considered for inclusion.
