Approval on tax reform bill sought by senators before end of year
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Russell B. Long, D-La., predicted Sunday the Senate would pass his committee's tax reform bill by the end of the year if the senators do not demand an item-by-item explanation and do not insist on extensive amendments.
Long, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which approved the measure Friday, said in a television interview on Face the Nation that he felt sure President Nixon would approve the bill as it is now written. He said that he could not say how the President would view any amendments that may be attached to it on the Senate floor.

alarming situation that has been created in Laos as a result of further widening of U.S. interference in the home affairs of that country."

OVIEDO, Spain (UPI) — Jose Fanjul, 26, is the proud owner of a luxury roadster, but he can't drive it. Authorities said he failed his driving test for the 27th time—a new Spanish record.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield meanwhile predicted that the bill would be approved this year and praised Long and the other members of his committee for "working like dogs" to meet the Oct. 31 deadline for reporting the bill to the Senate floor. Mansfield said the Senate would begin discussing it just as soon as it disposed of the controversial nomination of Judge Clement F. Haynsworth to the Supreme Court.
Long declined to predict what amendments would be offered, but he said a likely one would be to raise the personal income exemption from $600 to $1,000.
Moon man steps out

"It looks like Al overstepped his bounds," a spokesman at the Manned Spacecraft Center said. "But he probably won't get in any trouble for it."
