Vittorio an the Democrats Seek Greater Cuts In Excise Tax By UNITED PRESS The Senate called up a 958 million dollar excise tax cut bill for debate today amid indications that Dem ocrats would push for fur ther reductions. Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga> said he is “seriously considering” supporting one of three amendments proposed by Sen. Paul H. Dauglas (D-Ill). Douglas' proposals would trim federal excises—or sales tax es—by another 505 million dollars. George, a leading Democratic tax spokesman, said he may go along with Douglas’ plan to eliminate the present 10 per cent tax on house hold appliances. He said It would give a shot in the arm to lagging consumer buying. Douglas also wants to srash the present tax rates on automobiles and radio-television equipment. The House approved a cut of 912 million dollars in excises but the Senate Finance Committee raised the figure by more than 50 million dollars. Senate leaders hoped for a vote on the bill by the end of the week. Democrats were * not expected to make a try to attach their propos al to slash Income levies to the ex cise cut bill but, would make that fight when the GOP tax revision bill comes up.
