Conferees Accept
Limited Tax Cut for
Widovo, Widowers
;. Br CHARLES F. BARRETT
.WASHINGTON tf A Senate
House conference , committee
agreed Wednesday on a limited tax
cut for widows and widowers. But
the .committee ruled out a much
bigger reduction approved by the
House for all single heads of households.
Wadcat Strike
Closes Two
A-Plant Jobs
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. HV ' A
wildcast strike by AFL laborers
Wednesday closed two atomic
plant construction Jobs. Contrac
, tors said the projects would re
main shut down until the men go
back to work.
The closing came amid wide
spread reports of "violence on pick
et lines and roads leading to plant
area gates., There were no reports
of . Injuries, t ;
The shutdown is the fourth gen
eral one this year stemming from
labor trouble on the two projects,
costing hundreds of millions of
dollars.
Union leaders pleaded with the
men to go back to work but re
sponse was so negligible- contrac
tors stopped operations. The con
tractors. Rust Engineering Co: and
Maxon Construction Co., said they
would keep the jobs closed until
the labor picture is completely
cleared."
: Union officials called a mass
meeting for Thursday presumably
to try to work out a settlement.
. Members of Laborers' Local 818
struck and posted pickets at gates
to the projects Monday. The local's
officials accepted a 5 - cent wage
boost to $1.45 hourly in new con
tract negotiations last Saturday
with Knoxville chapter of Asso
ciated General Contractors.
Rank and - file members of the
local refused, however, to accept
the 5 - cent hike and said they
would stay on strike until they get
IS cents per hour.
Officials of the local and Knox
ville Building Trades Council, bar
gaining agent, for AFL con
struction crafts here, immediately
denounced the walkout as "illegal"
and appealed to the men to return.
About 2.000 of a total of 8,000
AFL craftsmen employed on the
jobs showed up Tuesday. But Wed
nesday only 900 reported and many
of them soon left, resulting in clos
ure of the projects before noon.
None of the work stoppages has
affected production of fissionable
uranium - 235, used in making
atomic aaf hydrogen bombs. CIO
and AFL production workers in
the atomic plants have consistently
crossed me construction workers
picket lines. -
This was the first major decision
as five senators and five senior
House members set out to settle
hundreds of differences between
the two houses over President Eis
enhower's big tax revision pro
gram. .. ,
The tax writers postponed action
for the time being on the hottest
issues still at stake how much to
cut taxes on income received as
stockholders dividends.
The committee decided that for
two years after the death of a wife
or husband, the widow or widower
would be able to continue to split
income for tax purposes just as
married couples do. That often puts
me taxpayer in a lower bracket.
Experts figured the savinz to
taxpayers ' would amount to about
six or seven million dollars a year.
me House bill would have given
all single heads of families wid
owed or . divorced persons or single
persons supporting dependents
tne ruu permanent benefits allowed
from income splitting.
M Millions
This would have been a saving
of about 50 millions a year, for
about 800,000 single heads of house
holds. .
The Senate had eliminated this
provision entirely from the tax re
vision program, . on grounds that
most of the benefits would go to
wealthy persons.
Senators argued that the bulk of
taxpayers already are in low
brackets and thus get little benefit
from splitting their Income. Ex
perts naa tigurea that under the
House plan a household head with
$4,000 income would save S3 a vmr.
At $6,000 income the saving would
have been $36, and at $8,000 income
the saving would have been 192,
with much bigger savings in higher
oracxets.
Status Sam .
Under the conference agreement,
except for new widows or widow
ers, sinsle heads of household
would continue in the same tax
status as under present law. They
now eet one-half the benefits of in
come solittin?.
Also stricken was a House provi
sion which would have nermitted
single taxpayers to qualify for tax
oenents as heads of households
even though their dependents did
not live in the same bouse with
them. -
On divided income, the House
approved tax cuts amounting to
about 240 million dollars the first
year and eventually to about Sfifl
million dollars a year. The Senate
struck most of this and approved
a reduction totaling only about .40
millions a year.
, Most sources expect a compro
mise somewhere between those fig
ures, although the conferees may
remain deadlocked on the political
ly touchy issue for some time. ,
The Eisenhower ' administration
has strongly backed! the House
plan, saying it would boost busi
ness investment and thus heta hoi.
ster the economy. Democrats have
argued it Is a special benefit for
wealthy persons,
