TAX CUT

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct 49,
R-How big a slice may be cut
from the annual tax bill is a ques-

ing along political lines with three
fairly distinct notions prevailing
both as 20 the total amount Of re

expected 10 endeavor to hold the
maximum reduction within the limits
set by the treasury, something like
" hundred million dollars.
Democrats who are assembling for
the possession meetings Of the tar
COMMITTEES OF congress are measur-
ing the prospective surplus with the
hope that they can present a pro-
gram contemplating a much larger
reduction. Some already have de-
clared for a cut of near half a bill
