Confusion Results
Over “Legal
Holiday” Order
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20—(^P)—
President Truman ordered time
and a half to be paid to all war
workers on the job last Wednes

order didn’t say however, whether
[ workers who took holidays on the
, two days following the surrender
; would be paid for time off.
Schwellenbach said earlier that
the President “hopes straight

would be legal holidays for over
time purposes, and then retracted
the statement. Considerable con

Senator George
For Rapid
Tax Relief
VIENNA, Aug. 20 — (JP) — Tax
relief should come soon for both
business and the individual, but
not all at one fell swoop, says Sen
ator George, chairman of the Sen
ate Finance committee. Individual
and corporate income tax reduc
tion should spread over possibly
three years. Senator George said
he doesn’t expect any income tax
reductions to be effective until
next year. He suggested that indi
vidual income taxes might be re
duced from forty to sixty per
cent in different brackets over a
three year period, starting next
year.
