Ten Billion Dollars In Reparations Demanded Of Germany By Russia
Congress in Washington debates postwar reparations with a proposal to raise income tax exemptions from 500 to 700 to relieve low earners. Rep Forand D Rhode Island argues the measure would remove 5 million “little fellows” from taxes, costing the government 3 billion in revenue, while a rival 29 percent income tax cut by Rep Knutson would save about 3.5 billion. Meanwhile, Gen Philip Fleming and Frank Creedon urge continued rent and housing controls through June 30 1948 as the House Banking Committee considers the 1946 repeal plan.
