Higher taxes foreseen to fund defense and Korea
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder told reporters in Washington that President Truman will ask Congress to raise individual and corporate taxes in an interim bill soon. The plan aims to fund defense against Communist aggression, with higher withholdings and possibly an excess profits tax deferred for later. He warned the bill would exceed five billion dollars annually but did not specify the amount. Inflation control and deficit reduction were also emphasized as priorities, with departmental cuts to non-defense outlays under Presidential direction.
