Communist China's vice-minister Ike Gets Huge Tax Bill After Senate Approves 61 To 26 WASHINGTON, July 30 (UP) The administration's congressional scoreboard shewed another major victory today with final congressional passage of its sweeping tax revision bill. The Senate approved the final version of the measure by a vole of 61 to 26 Thursday night and sent it to the White House for President Eisenhower's signature. The House took its final vote Wednesday. From the administration viewpoint, passage of the tax bill was the second important achievement in as many days.

The Senate completed action 24 hours earlier on the watered-down administration housing bill and sent it to the White House. Both oi these measures were on the six-point minimum program outlined by President Eisenhower at his news conference. He said he would be more than bitterly disappointed if they were not enacted before Congress adjourned. Cost The tax bill carries selective tax reductions for business firms and groups of individuals at an estimated cost to the Treasury of $1,363,000,000 during the current fiscal year. It also renews for one year, to next March 31, the 52 percent corporate income tax rate which dropped five points last March 31.

First $50 Exempt Both House and Senate provided that the first $50 of dividend income should be excluded from taxable income. The final bill also carries a compromise provision giving stockholders a tax cut equal to 4 percent of their dividend income. On the final vote, 42 Republicans and 19 Democrats voted for the bill.

S. reprisal action was hinted in a State Department declaration that the Communist slap in the face "will not be permitted to rest there." There was no indication as to what lurtner steps might be taken beyond the probability that Red China's rejection of the protest would be placed before the United Nations.

S. will call for worldwide condemnation of Red China's action in slaughtering passengers of the British commercial airliner which was on a regular scheduled flight and bearing proper identifications when it was shot down oy the Red fighters.
