' Conferees Agree To Repeal Excise Tax on Freight Washington (UPI) Senate-House conferees agreed to day to repeal the 3 per cent tax on transportation of freight, beginning Aug. 1. But they rejected a Senate proposal to repeal the 10 per cent federal tax on airline, bus and train passenger tickets. The legislation repealing freight taxes was almost cer tain to be sent to President Eisenhower by Monday. It was included in a compromise bill to continue for another year the present taxes on corpora tion income and on whiskey, beer, cigarettes and automo biles. Other Levies Lifted In retaining the Senate pro vision that the freight tax be repealed, the conferees voted also to lift the excise levies on the shipment of coal and on movement of oil by pipe line. The President had request ed extension of all corporate and excise taxes to avoid a revenue loss of $2.5 billion a year which would otherwise occur. They are due to expire Tuesday unless the extension bill is enacted. No Cuts in House The taxes which would be repealed by the compromise bill yield an estimated $485 million a year. The levies amount to 3 per cent on freight charges, four cents a ton on coal, and 4J per cent on charges for transporting oil by pipeline. The original Senate bill- re pealed taxes on both freight and passenger charges. The bill as it passed the House car ried no tax cuts. Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D.-Va.), head of the Senate conference team, said the compromise bill would be called up on the Senate floor later today. House action is scheduled Friday. TAKE THIS THREE TASTE TEST TODAY!
