Murphy Says Voters Reject Furcolo's Tax

Repeating his attack on Gov. Foster Furcolo's sales tax proposal, Lt. Gov. Robert F. Murphy told the Young Democratic Club last night that "a party which does not carry out its platform promises deserves the contempt of the electorate."

Murphy announced that his mail favored the stand he had taken last Saturday by a ratio of 11 to 1. Though he declined to predict the Legislature's reaction to the sales tax, he quoted an unnamed Democratic Legislator as saying, "I think it is dead."
