(UP) Another Republican attack on federal tax laws was aunched today as t a plan recommending cuts on both income and corpor ation taxes was presented to the House ways and Means commit tee. The new plan maps out a long range tax program based on the idea of tax cuts in all income brackets. As presented to the Ways and Means committee, the plan would also reduce corpor ation taxes. The plan was drawn up by nine members of a special tax advisory group headed by Ros well Magill, a former treasury official. Harold Knutson, chair man of the Ways and Means committee said the plan would be voted on by congress by next March 19. - - The advisory group gave top priority to personal income tax cuts, with special consideration for the cost of living of those in low income groups. Only one member of the ad visory group disagreed with the majority proposal. Matthew Woll, a member of the A. F. of L. executive committee, filed a separate report, charging that the tax proposal is designed to lower tax burdens in ithe wealthy brackets at the expense of those in the lower income group. In the meantime, Knutson, a Minnesota Republican ,will try to push through what he calls a "quickie" tax-cutting bill: when the special session convenes on November 17, Students Saved From One, Hazard University students, noto riously hard-pressed by high prices, long lines," and other such unappetizing features of life in the? glorious post-war world, are currently, having one hazard '"removed.
