But there are wide differences of opinion ' between the parties and within the parties over what kind of a- tax cut congress should approve and how big it should be.

Many Republicans and some Democrats expect President Tru man to make some kind of a tax reduction proposal in his message to the opening session. If he doesn t, the house ways and means committee, which or iginates tax legislation, will be ready anyhow. Its first business will be the $5,600,000,000 person al income tax reduction proposal already introduced by Chairman Harold Knutson, R.t Minn. Knutson's proposal would re move 7,400,000 persons from the federal tax rolls. It would in crease exemptions from $500 to $600. extend income-splitting community property tax benefits to taxpayers of all states, and provide a tax cut ranging from 30 per cent in the lower income brackets to 10 per cent at the top of the scale. Republican memebrs of Knut son s committee are inciinea to accept the ' . general outlines of his bill. But they aren't satisfied with all details. Some think it would cut too heavily into federal fed-eral revenues. Democratic members of the committee . feel the bill is more in line with their views than Knutson's previous proposals for graduated tax cuts without an increase in exemptions. But some Democrats still think tnat the taxnavers in the middle and up per brackets would get too much of the tax reduction.
