WASIILNGTON, July f tlPy-Th
bouse paaaed today the republican
backed bill to cut Income taxes by
$4,000,000,000 annually for 43,004,000
taxpayers, beginning January L
The vote was 303 to 112, or more
than the two-thirds majority
needed to override a presidential
veto.
It goes to the senate where ap
proval also Is forecast.
Th. action, which may encounter
another presidential veto, came
after Speaker Martin (R-Masa.l,
personally appealed to the house to
pass the bill by such a decisive
vote "as to persuade the president
that the people should have this
delayed Justice."
8am Measure
The measure is Identical with one
vetoed by President Truman June
16 as "the wrong kind pi tax re
duction at the wrong ie." Ex
cept that the effective date la
changed from July 1, 1047, to Jan. 1,
1848.
Congress leaden expect to have
the revised bill on Mr. Tnnaaa'i
dealt before the we ends.
The house passed the bill after
the republicans beat back a pro
posed democratic substitute that
would have reduced taxes bv 13.-
370.000.000 and removed 4.000,000
low-income persons from the tax
rolls completely.
Chairman Knutson (R-Mlnn.) of
the house ways and means com
mittee shouted at democrats op
posing the bill:
"For 1 years you voted for every
appropriation bill, and only now,
when we are trying to give relief
te the harrassed taxpayers, do you
studdrnly remember there is a pub
lic debt.
"The president aaya In effect we
ean p hare tax reduction and let
the people spend their own money.
Ne, he - says, that would be Infla
tion. Tax redaction Is not Infla
tionary." He contended that taxes can be
reduced by $4,000,000,000 and a 15,
000,000.600 payment ean be made en
the public debt next year.
