Senate Defers Tax Cuts Keeping Communications Levy
The Senate voted 54 to 30 to retain the 106 percent federal levy on local telephone and telegraph service and fares, rejecting a 752 million dollar tax cut. A 55 to 29 vote blocked a simultaneous cut on train, bus, and plane fares, as the Finance Committee proposed both cuts earlier. Eisenhower opposed the cuts and the House had rejected them, leading to a July 1 1960 effective date with travel tax cut halved.

Patterson Adds Weight For Fight
Ingemar Johansson weighed 196 pounds to Patterson's 182 last June 26 when he dethroned the American on a seven knockdown technical knockout at 2 03 of the third round. Patterson's weight was the heaviest of his career. He weighed 187 when he knocked out Olympic champion Pete Rademacher in the sixth round at Seattle August 22, 1957. Most of the 25 year old challenger's extra weight appeared to have settled around his neck shoulders and arms. He said the weight had worn naturally but.
