Lawmakers Agree On Tax Program WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (UP) Congress will go along with President Eisenhower's request to keep federal sales and corporation taxes at their present levels for another year. Key lawmakers in both parties and both houses today were agreed on this. They said there will be little or no difficulty in extending business taxes thus saving the treasury three billion dollars as requested by Mr. Eisenhower in his State of the Union message Thursday. This means excise tax rates on such items as liquor, gasoline, cigarets, cosmetics and furs would continue at their present rate after April 1 although they originally were scheduled to decline then. The tax rate on corporation income would continue at 52 percent. As for personal income tax, most lawmakers agreed with the President thete can be no reduction immediately. But some held out hope that another look at the government budget in the spring can yet open the way to a reduction either on July 1 or next January. Mr. Eisenhower, in his congressional message, ruled out, as far as he he is concerned, any (eduction now in income taxes. And he said he wouldn't go along with ;r rut in the future until the budget can show a surplus even after some payment is made on the national debt. Not everybody in Congress was as wed to the idea of debt reduction as Mr. Eisenhower. Suppose he takes a look in May or June ;md still can't see a tax cut? Would Congress, in an election »ear. approve a reduction anyway ? The way most members in both parties were talking today the answer was no. But there was a feeling that the closer members get to election day. r he warmet will wax their sympathies for the taxpayer. Man Was Victim Of Brutal Beating COLUMBIA CITY. Ind.
