In 1944. the late President Roosevelt vetoed a bill to In* 'crease taxes because i.e felt the boost was not enough. He was overridden. That was the first time a-president had vetoed a tax bill of any kind. The GOP bill would have re--1 duced personal income taxes 10.5 to 3o percent beginning July 1. I It was estimated that the measure would have saved the nation's 48.500.000 Income taxpay- 1 ers about 84.000,000.000 a year. Th< re had been some talk. If

beaten, the Republicans would try to beat Mr. Truman to the punch on any tax reduction next year by ppsslng the vetoed bill and making it effective next Jan.’ 1.
