Monroney (D-Okla) said Nixon met Stevenson's charge "that the Republican Party is half Eisenhower half McCarthy by asking Sen. McCarthy to stand in the corner for at least IS minutes."

I : "He completely disarmed 1 the glib wisecracks made by Mr. Ste venson and those who want to de stroy the Eisenhower administra tion," Welker said. f DULLES' PLANE LANDS LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va.

Reed of New York, chair man of the Ways and Means Com mittee, ealled the Democratic drive fori higher tax exemptions "a politically-motivated attempt to de stroy the pending tax revision bill and the excise reduction program." "If successful,'' Reed added, "the Democratic strategy may well mean no tax relief this year, Martin and Reed spoke out as some 'key Republicans conceded privately they face an uphill fight in the House next week to try to stave off the Democratic tax-cutting push in this congressional election year. Battle Ahead Both sides were preparing for, a close, bruising battle . along party lines when an 855 page general tax overhaul hits the House floor nejt Wednesday or Thursday. v The proposal as it stands would j re-write almost every tax law on the books. It would provide about $1,397,000,000 in tax reductions the first year for business and individ uals, largely through' a long list of more liberal deductions. But it would cancel a scheduled April 1 reduction in regular corpo ration income taxes, amounting to $1,200,000,000 .next year and $2, 000,000,000 in later years.

The treasury estimates that would save taxpay ers about $2,400,000,000 more per year and put the government that much more in the red. Families with income below $5,000 generally would save $20 per head, with some bigger dollar savings in higher brackets. The amendment would relieve more than four million taxpayers with low incomes for large families from any income tax payment at all.
