According to a communication received from
Dr.-C. Earl Albrecht, Coim.ifsnior.er of He a 1th ,

Quotations from President Truman’s veto mes
sage on the veeer.t Tax reduction bill:
TTlie tar reduction provided by this bill
is inequitable as well as untimely.
"In the case of the income tax, nearly forty
per cent of the reduction would go to in
dividuals with net;; ihcbm.es in excess of
)5000, who constitute less than 5p of all
■taxpayers.
"In the case of the estate and gift taxes,
nearly all of the ')25Q million annual red
uction would go to only about 12,000 of the
most wealthy families."
