Administration backs high taxes for sound money goal
At Pebble Beach California the Business Advisory Council with 90 members and 16 officials endorsed cooperation with continued high taxes if needed for Eisenhower’s Sound Money plan. Secretary Weeks said the group backs a stable upturn, though a readjustment may come and tax cuts could be delayed to balance the budget. Biggers, BAC chairman and Libbey Owens Ford president, said members would act as responsible citizens to support fiscal policy.
