The Ways and Means Committee tentatively approved excise taxes on slot and office machines and optical instruments to raise about 3.5 billion dollars for defense funding. Proposals include a $25 annual use tax on coin operated devices and a $5 per machine levy, plus a 10 percent tax on optical instruments and $5 annual auto use tax. A 5 percent tax on passenger transportation fares over 39 cents and an auto tax sticker to be sold by post offices were discussed. The plan seeks 3.315 billion from new levies and existing tax increases to reach the goal, with soft drink taxation considered but warned against price increases.
