Tax-Cutting
Bill To Greet
New Congress
Washington, Dec. 1.—Rep. Dan
iel A. 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.
