Reed, (R-NY), who is slated to head the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, an nounced today he will introduce a tax reduction bill on the opening day of the 83rd congress. Under his plan, individual in come tax payers would receive a reduction of a little more than five per cent next year and a simi lar reduction in 1954, or a total of approximately 11 per cent. Reed also called for elimination of the excess profits tax on corpor ations, which is due to expire next June 30. Under the 1951 tax law the individual income tax increas es of between 10 and 11 per cent run out Dec. 31, 1953. In a statement issued from his office here, Reed made no direct mention of moving up the termina tion date of the other major 1951 tax boosts, covering corporation income taxes and various excise levies. These are due to expire April 3, 1954. The 1951 increases fn all totalled $8,300,000,000 over a full year. “My bill is the first step in the Republican tax and spending re duction program. Reed said, “Al though I will introduce this meas ure on my own behalf only, I am confident it will have the strong support not only of members of the ways and means committee but of the other members of both parties in and out of Congress. “No doubt exists that by cutting out non-esential government ex penditures—expenditures that will in no way adversely affect im portant government military and civilian activities—the budget can be brought into balance and the savings passed along to the people in the form of tax relief.” Reed said that as a second step, he would recommend that the ways and means committee under take a complete study of the whole existing tax structure, which he la beled “a hodge-podge affair.” Carolinas Bury Last Gray Hero Orangeburg.—TKe last Confeder- tae veteran in the Carolmas lay in -his flag jpid flower-bedecked grave near here Sunday. “A noble era has come to an end,” Editor and Publisher S. L. Latimer, Jr., of the Columbia State, said in a memorial address. Arnold Murray, who was 108 when he died last Wednesday, was buried yesterday with elaborate honors intended as a tribute to the memory of all Confederate sol diers. Several thousand people attend ed the services at rural White House Methodist church. Their au tos clogged the highway for two or more miles. The ceremonies were the first of their kind staged by any Southern state to honor its Confederate vet erans. South Carolina set a “dis tinguished” precedent in so doing, committee chairman James A. Rog ers, of Columbia, said. Gov. James F. Byrnes, paying official homage for the state, said Confederate soldiers were “men who placed their convictions above all other considerations. “They gave us a precious heri tage,” and their “heroic deeds will forever live in the hearts of the South,” he declared.
