Ike Won't Make A Decision On Tax Cuts For 2 Months
President Eisenhower will delay any decision on tax cuts for at least two months until other anti-recession measures have been tested, Senate Republican leader William F. Knowland said today.
"There is no imminent presentation of tax legislation," Knowland said.
Sen. Edward Martin (R-Pa) said that specific plans, including cutting withholding taxes in half were discussed.
The President's top economic advisers say that it will be late April or early May before the administration decides about the proposed tax cut.

In New York, bankers hailed the latest move of the Federal Reserve Board in reducing reserve requirements as a jolting shot in the arm for the economy.

In Denver, Harry S. Truman today blamed the Republicans for the recession and predicted that the Democrats will sweep the Congressional elections in the fall.

He predicted an overwhelming victory for the Democrats in Congress but would not predict by how many seats or who the Democrats would run for President in 1960.
In Kansas City, it was announced today that the United States Army's annual hunt for grade and high school teachers has been "spectacularly" successful despite shortages in most civilian schools.
