Democratic Tax
Experts Demand
Income Tax Cut
WASHINGTON HP) Dem
ocratic tax experts took the
i initiative today in demand-
I ing that the next Congress,
j which will be controlled by
1 Republicans, approve cuts in
individual income and excise]
taxes.
Rep. John Dinged iD-Mieh.'
Number Two Democrat on the tax- .
framing House Ways and Means
Committee, advised his Democratic
colleagues to be on guard against
any Republicsn move to slow down
the tax reduction schedule set up
by the Democrats last year. ,
Dingell, in personal letters to
fellow Democrats on th° Wavs and
Means Committee, recalled that in
dividual income and some excise
taxes are slated to come down as
of Dec. 31, 1953. The present ex
cess profits tax on corporatiions is
scheduled to expire next June 30 :
"As I understand it the estim- ’
j ater revenue from this tax legis
lation runs into an amount of eight
.and one-half to 10-billion dollars."
Dingell's letter said.
‘HOLD THE LINE”
"I belie.-e we ought to prepare
1 *0 hold the line against their ex
tension in view of the stand as
sumed by the distinguished gener
al. now the President-elect, whe
made so many anguished outcries
against excessive taxes which we
Democrats were charged as having
imposed with such recklessness." J
Dingell’s letter was made avail
able to a reporter by another mem
ber of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Dingell said he did not in- ’
; tend the letter for publication but
bad no objection.
Dingell. one of the most vigor- .
ous critics in Congress of excise I
taxes on such items as jewelry. |
cosmetics, railroad tickets and beer. !
said he would like to see these .
taxes slashed heavily or elimin
