Sabath, D.-111., dean bf the House, accused Nixon of casting votes which the “oil men” and the “broker|s and bankers” who contributed to his controversial 118,235 fund. Mitdhell &ajd Eisenhower, while making “near promises” for reducing taxes 120,000,000.000 within three years, has backed “specific proposals which wbuld increase the budget more than >5,ooo.ooiooo.” ‘‘The general has countered his. economy programs with consistent support for retention .of the past 20 years’ social gains, as well as adequate defense and foreign aid,” Mitchell said in a statement. I “One cannot pledge his allegiance to ‘great social gains of the past 20 years and at the same time proipise expenditure , cuts which would require their repeal. Nor would a pro-Korea budget buy both a poet-Korea defense systenjj as well as the social gains which the general would preserve. 7 Sabath said Nixon voted against (Utting the oil.jdepletion tax allowance, "which oif course helped the oil men wljo gave him money.”' He said the GOP Vice presidential nominee also voted to widen “tax loopholes for mutual savings bangs and building and loan associations, whereby their reserves were made partly tax exempt. “Naturally. this helped the. brokers and I bankers on his list,” Sabatl) gsserted. , I . 4__ ! .
