But his proposal for a 6% surcharge on personal and corporate income taxes, amounting to $4 billion plus, faces serious challenge. If it fails, the real deficit will grow...
...found in the summer of 1962 that he was desperately short of cash for his $1,200,000 Maryland shore Carousel Motel, Baker testified, he took his woes to Johnson, whom he described as "the best friend I had around the Capitol." Baker said: "The then Vice Presi dent picked up the phone and called his friend and my friend-Senator Kerr. He then advised me to go immediately to Senator Kerr's office, which...
