WASHINGTON, </P) — Nine
Democratic members of the House
( ways and means committee today
assailed the Republican-backed in
come tax slashing bill as “a dis
c- iminatory patchwork of polit cal
expediency.”
Dissenting from the committee’s
uCi.o.i last week in approving tne
measure, the nine declared in a re
port that the legislation is “neithe.
*e<iUitabit\ timely no* sound.”
The bill would cut taxes bv -
total of $3,840,000,Oo >. ind. vidua
cu.s would range from 3» ,>e cent
for small taxpayers to 20 per cen.
for most others.
Republican committeemen si
multaneously issued a majority re
port saying present high taxes en
danger business prosperity. Thc
majority contended the tax slas.i
can be made and between $2,300,
00Q.000 and $3,800,000,000 paid on
the $260,000,000,000 national debt.
Debate on the bill begins in the
House today, with a final vote set
for Thursday. Republicans arc
confidently predicting victory for
the legislation.
However, leading Democrat c
Congressmen believe that Presi
dent Truman wdll veto the bill if
it reaches the White House in its
present form.
