Average 2O% Tax Cul
Seen by Republicans
By the Ax.oeiated Prsss

While still committed to a 20 per
cent average cut in personal income
taxes, Republican tax experts said
today reductions may be higher than
that for some taxpayers and lower
for others.
They indicated that earlier plans
for an Unconstitutional" cut of 20
per cent, regardless Of income
bracket, may be altered by grant
ing higher personal and dependency
exemptions and reducing surtax
rates. skeFs{ 3Yfs ~ 4 Z
While the overall result would be
an average reduction of 20 per cent
some taxpayers liability would be
cut more than that and others less
The final form of the reduction
will not be known until the House
Ways and Means Committee starts
working on new income tax bill tc
be drafted before the first of the
year. The committee probably will
receive the bill when the new Con-
gress convenes on January 3.
Whether the Republicans will seek
out some new sources of revenue to
offset the loss from income tax re-
ductions may depend largely on re-
port from the Joint Congressional
Committee on Internal Revenue
The committee is studying tax-ex-
empt organizations and institutions
and is expected to have its report
ready soon.
Many members of the Ways and
Means Committee believe Congress
should narrow the field of such tax
exemption.
