SECTION two— k ' SENATOR m LENNON Jgt JSiMigsmit RE PORTS ☆ B*TfE Washington—l am of the belief that the American taxpayer can expect fur ther tax cuts from the Congress. WHY TAX CUTS? There seems to be universal agree ment that the best way to get at the problem of a “slipping economy” is through tax relief for the average man. A reduction in his Federal in come tax this year will immediately stimulate improved business activity for the farmer, the merchant, and ev ery other person. The proposal which I favor will increase the personal and dependency exemption from S6OO to SBOO this taxable year and to SI,OOO in succeeding years. This is, I am strongly convinced, the front on which the fight against any recession must be waged. I have told you that T am apposed to increasing the national debt limit beyond $275 billion. The gap must be halted somewhere. HOW TO DO IT? It seems practical to me to dras-| tically reduce our overseas spending, especially foreign economic spending. By doing this, I believe we can then save the cost of putting the tax cuts into force. I believe it is better to keep good economic conditions in this country as a strong bulwark against Communism. Should hard times de velop, the Federal Government will not collect anticipated revenues anyway. The George bill, Senate 2983. has my vigorous sunport. INVESTIGATION The Senate Post Office and Civil ( Service Committee, of which I am a i member, will begin hearings this week i to get at the facts in the so-called “se- | curity risk” firing by the Government, j We hope to get from the Civil Ser-' vice Commission some satisfactory break-down on just how many of the 2200 who have been discharged were: subversive. My personal opinion is 1 that the results will show that very few were fired because of disloyalty, i. SCHOOL VISITS We have had a large number of schools interested in information about visiting Washington. The National Park Service has a bulletin which tells how to go about getting the informa- j tion to make the trip by school groups j as interesting and beneficial as pos-; sible. The Lincoln Museum is head quarters and contact point for out-of town school groups. Personnel there show a sound movie of the Nation’s , Capitol and help generally in planning the tour. These services are avail able at the Lincoln Museum I the oiu EXTRA SPECIALS FOR THIS WEEK ’49 Ford, 2 dr. Sedan $5951 ’sl Chev, 4 dr. Sedan $9951 ’sl Chev, 2 dr.
