Administration
May FailIn
Tax Cut Issue
BY CHARLES r. BARRETT

WASHINGTON Up - Some key
Republicans said today the Eisen.
hover administration faces prob
able defeat in trying to stave off
a wide range of excise tax cuts.
A bill to reduce many of these
nuisance" taxes comes up in the
House tomorrow, with leadership
backing and with no organized op-
position in sight there or in the
Senate.
President Eisenhower evidently
conceded defeat in the House when
he conferred yesterday with COP
congressional leaders.
Leaders said the administration
would not oppose House passage
of the bill to slash about $50 mil
lion dollars. a year off taxes on
movie tickets, furs, passenger
fares, telephone bills, cosmetics,
luggage, handbags and wallets,
jewelry, cameras, sporting goods
and other items.
But they announced, after the
White House conference, that the
administration would fight to
knock out some of these reductions
when the bill hits the Senate. The
administration position is that the
government cannot afford to lose
the revenue.
The bill would slice to 10 per
cent all excise or sales taxes now
above that level, except those on
liquor and tobacco, effective
April /.
The proposal also would cancel
about one billion dollars in reduc-
tons now scheduled for April 1
In excise taxes on liquor, cigar
cites, automobiles, gasoline, trucks
and buses, beer and wine. Eisen-
hover has urged this cancellation.
Tow members of the Senate FL
nance Committee said in separate
interviews that when the bill
reaches there, they are inclined
to 60 along with the cuts despite
administration opposition.
Sen. Bennett (R-Utah) said the
bill seems to offer an Equitable
solution" to the excise tax prob
lem. He noted there are demands
to eliminate entirely many of the
taxes.
Sen. Malone (R-Nev) said he,
too, was inclined to go along with
the proposed cuts.
Sen. Martin (R-Pa), however,
said balancing the federal budget
is the Overriding issue" and he
would oppose the tax cuts unless
they are balanced with new spend
irg cuts.

short history, in part at least, OF
what has been happening to the
American scene.
General Motors, now atop the
industrial corporate heap, was only
a year old in 1909. Ford, only a
few years older, wasn't among the
elite either. Only one rubber COM
pany and three oil companies place

The age of motors, gasoline and
tires has changed the industrial
scene.
Chemical companies have come
to the fore in recent years in like
manner. Du Pont is the only pres.
ent day leader to make the top 100

now is due to products. unheard of,

appliances and building materials.
