Under the old law veterans of the

later and must have completed train

TAX REVISION, FARM PROGRAM, EXAMPLES OF
HALFWAY ATTITUDE OF 83RD CONGRESS
By CONG. LEE METCALF

Last week l started to summarize
the work of the 83rd Congress in
the last three columns of this series.
l discussed the failures-failure
to balance the budget, failure to meet
the school construction crisis, failure
to remove the union-busting pro-
visions from Hartley, failure Of
Alaskan Statehood, health reinsdr-
ance and the 18-year-old vote. 10
list few.
Today | want to take up the half
way legislation of this Congress-
the legislation in which the Admins
tration was only partially successful
or that which only begins to solve
the problem it is designed to meet.
This mixture shows up cleafi,
in income tax revision and farm
program legislation. Halfway bills
include those extending social Sc
curity and unemployment compen.
sation, increasing veterans COM
Pensation and pensions.
There was no doubt but that our
tax laws needed a complete overhaul
ing, that there were-still are III
equities.
There are many beneficial pro-
visions in the mammoth tax-revislon
law. ~These include exemption Of
$1,000 for retired persons over 65,
and employer-paid accident and
health benefits up to 500 week, a
$500 deduction for child care for
working parents and deduction of
medical expense in excess of 80 in
stead of so of income.
But to get these needed tax 'e-
visions we had to take bill loadeI
in favor of the larger taxpayers
and the coupon clippers and against
the wage earners and low and
middle income groups.
The tax bill singles out small
fraction of income tax payers for
tax relief On unearned income. About
four per cent Of our people own
publicly held stock. Putting it an
ether way, 926 Of American fami-
les owh no publicly held stock Of |
he remaining eight per cent, only
:ix-tenths of one per cent own 800
# such stock.
This small minority is to get 1862
