Truman Vetoes U. S. income Tax-cut Bill

--_-

VFASHINGTON, June 16 _(APl -—President Truman today unash- ed the Republican income tax cut with s. veto. and denounced it as “the Wmng kind of tax reduction at the wrong time."

He termed it “risky” and "un- safe" on the ground that "sub- stanllal" payments should be made on the public debt in these good times.

Aroused Republicans immediately got busy to try to override the veto in the House of Representativ- ea tomorrow. But they conceded that even if they should muster the necessary tum-thirds majority there. they would have no chance in the Senate, punch then would vote Wednesday.

The $4,000,000.000 of income tax cuts ranging from 10.5 to 30 per cent which would have gone into effect July l. now goes out the win- dow.

And bill No. 1 of the Republican- oontrollrd Congress becomes a. hot campaign issue for 1948.

Carroll Reece, Republican nat- ional chairman, set the tone with this comment: _

“Mr Trusnan has committed his administration to continued sup- port of the ‘tax-and-tax and spend- snd-apend and elmt-and-elect’ philosophy of the now discredited new deal That ’ philosophy W“ repudiated by the American people Last November, and I am confident it will be repudiated again and even more emphatically in 1946.

First Time In History

It. was the first time in Ameri- can history that s President has

the late President Roosevelt in 1944 vetoed one to raise them.

Truman gave two nnain reasons w, .

by.

l. It would be bad for the country's 800110131; and for the treasury.

2. It would give too much re- lisf to those ‘in the high in» come brackets” and not enough “to the low Income 'group.”

The President also gave his answer lo arglurnettts made for tax reduction:

“There is no shortage of funds" for “necessary investment and business expansion" so a tax cut is not needed to release money for that purpose. as many contended in hearings. The purchasing power ofconsum- ers should be increased by ironing out “the disparity" between prices and wages throitgh‘ “wise policies and improved practices of business and labcrz" cutting taxes “is not the proper way" to get ll. Retailers particularly hnd urged lower tax- es to boost. purchasing powcr.

IDNDON. June 10 - (AP) — Britain announced today she is scekinl to enlist Russian partici- pation in the ald-to-mrope pro- Ject advanced by State Secretary Marshall, but Moscow already sp- psared reluctant to co-opsraic in any continental-wide pump-prim- ing effort. financed in large part by the United States. _
