House Passes Tax Cut WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 .(#)— House Democrats defied Presi dent Dwight D. Eisenhower today and passed their bill to cut in come taxes $2O a person begin ning next Jan. 1. The bill, stirring up one of the closest and warmest political scraps in years, now goes to the Senate where its future is doubt ful at best. If it should pass that chamber, it faces a possible veto by Eisenhower. In the crucial vote in the House, Democrats nailed the inqpme tax cut into a package tax bill by a roll call of 210-205. The margin of five votes—forged in the last few seconds of the tense voting— defeated a Republican motion to knock the income tax cut out of the measure. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE. PA.. SATURDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 26, 1955 Pattee Library Has Historical 1855 Exhibit The Pattee Library is housing a historical exhibit called “1855 The Year of the Founding”. The theme of the display, however, is not the founding of Penn State or the Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania, as it was known then, but rather, concerns the world into which Penn State was born. “It attempts to give the flavor of the period by showing exhibits of literature and art, agriculture and rural life, westward expan sion, science and industry, edu cation and religion, commerce and transportation,” Ralph McComb, librarian of the Pattee Library, said. The display, which is being shown on the main floor and sec ond floor lobbies, illustrates vari ous aspects of life in 1855 by using newspapers, magazines, and text : books. Authentic examples of ! domestic and agricultural imple ments are set up on one table, including a spinning wheel, a handmade quilt, a cradle, and a wooden shovel which were loaned to the library by Dr. and -Mrs. Stevenson W. Fletcher and the Pennsylvania State Museum in Harrisburg. Dr. Fletcher is dean I emeritus of the School of Agri culture. Other highlights of the exhibit include contemporary accounts of dramatizations of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Harriet Beecher Stowe, illustrations of Admiral Perry’s voyage to Japan, the Crimean War, and westward and industrial expansion. . A : - copy of Gody’s Ladies’ Book also is on display. Of special interest is a diorama portraying a sugar camp at sugar ing-off time.

Both Democratic and Re publican leaders scurried fran tically for last-second votes. There were some hurried switches, and Democrats brought in a few more latecomers. Speak er Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.), who had pushed through the tax cut over Eisenhower’s strong opposi tion, announced the final score to a hushed House. Democrats erupt ed in wild applause and back slapping. Then the House passed the package bill, 242-175, but that was anti-climax. The bill also includes Eisenhow er’s request to continue present corporation income and excise tax rates for one more year.

On the same date excises are due to drop on automobiles, liquor, gasoline, cigarettes, beer, wine, trucks and auto parts. There was no opposition to these tax extensions, which will save the Treasury almost three billion dollars a year. The income tax cut would reduce federal revenues about $2,200,000,000 over a full year. The bill provides a $2O tax cut for each individual taxpayer and each dependent. For example, the cut would amount to $lOO for a family of five. Blind persons or persons over 65 who already get an extra tax exemption would get a cut of $4O each. About five million taxpayers with low incomes or large fami lies would be relieved of any federal income tax bill at all.
