President Delays Action On Tax Bill
President Truman will not act on the 4 billion dollar income tax cut bill before leaving for Kansas City Friday morning. Secretary Ross said no decision was made on whether Truman would see the bill before AVES Canada next Monday after his Midwest return. The Senate and House approved the measure, but a veto could be overridden only by a two thirds majority not currently available to Republicans. The bill would cut withholding taxes and take effect next month, with major changes in rates and exemptions for some age groups.
