the individual tax cut to July
l, If the House of Republican
leadership doesn't give him a
go-ahead by then. His bill would
cost the Treasury an estimated
SIS billion in revenue in the
fiscal year.
Senator Taft said that, if the
House passes the Reed bill, he
will ask the Senate Finance
Committee to delay action on it
until after the overall spending
estimate is received.
We'll just hold that bill up
until we see what can be done
about cutting the budget" he
said. Il think we can cut spend
ing back to the revenue level
but l don't know whether we
can do it il We lose revenue by
cutting taxes too soon"
Thus far, Senator Taft said,
the Republican leadership has
given no consideration to a pro-
posal by Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, that the Reed
bill be revised to extend both
the excess profits and. individual
levies to July l, 1884.
Senator Byrd told reporters
he thinks it will be necessary to
keep these taxes because he
doesn't believe much more than
$7.5 billion can be cut from Mr..
Humans budget.
Congress could make these
tax cuts automatic on July |,
1854, balance the budget and
believe most people would be
satisfied" the Virginia Senator
said.

In Tanks as Fire Hits
Brewery in Newark
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEWARK, N. j., Mar. r.
The death toll in a IRE at the
Anheuser-Busch Brewery yester-
day has been fixed at IS. All
the victims were construction
workers who suffocated when
trapped in a maze of huge
fermentation tanks.
Fire raced up the corklined
walls of a windowless storage
wing at the $40 million brewery
Choking smoke filled the six-story
brick wing, touching off panic
among the 80 men at work there.
Twenty-nine were hospitalized
for smoke poisoning.
WOrkmen Crepe Blindly.
Light couldn't pierce the thick
curtain of smoke in the wing,
and the workmen CROPPED blindly
for exits.
About half of the victims were
caught inside the 80 by so foot
fermentation tanks. Small man
holes a little more than feet
in diameter were the only exits
from the tanks.
Those IN the tanks were
trapped like rats" Foreman Fred
Watkins said. ''They probably
never heard the fire warning
and if they did. they couldn' I
have made it up the ladder be-
fore they were overcome"
Other victims suffocated in a
labyrinth of tiny corridors be-
tween the tanks on each floor.
Many of the masons, carpen-
tiers and laborers who managed
to scramble to safety plunged
back again into the smoke filled
wing to help the others escape

Granger and William Hageman

attempt.
