They cited reports Roosevelt might raise his tax request to curb inflation and said increased revenue would trigger a consumer tax already supported by a majority. Secretary Morgenthal resisted changing his request of 7.61 billion until a public presidential announcement. Representative Knutson joined by Treadway and Disney argued any increase would ensure sales tax.
