Nixon Will Not Seek New Taxes WASHINGTON (AP)--President Nixon pledged yesterday that he will not seek a tax increase if he wins a second term but left open the possibility that he will propose revisions in America's tax structure. The President's views were relayed to newsmen by two Republican Congress- ional leaders and by White House Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler. They were expressed amid continuing GOP charges that Democratic nominee George McGovern's proposals could result in a 100 per cent tax hike. Emerging from a two-hour meeting Nixon held with 12 Republican Congress- ional leaders, Senate GOP Leader Hugh Scott declared: "A vote for McGovern is a vote for higher taxes,.higher spending. higher unemployment,.higher everything." House Republican Leader Gerald Ford then reported, "the President said this morning that there will be no tax increase proposed by this adminis- tration."
