Objectors Rally as Treasury Eyes New Taxes Push
Washington April 3 Additional objections to a tax increase surfaced as the treasury prepared to raise money through new securities. The treasury projected a 700,000 deficit as income tax collections lagged by 224,673,000 from last year. House Republican Tilson urged no immediate tax hike, saying the next Congress should avoid new levies. Senator Harris of Georgia joined Democrats in resisting further taxpayer demands, believing expenses could be cut to avert a tax rise. Treasury plans to issue new securities by April 13 to cover the year end, though exact form remained undecided. Congress also faced a request for 100,000,000 for veterans loans by April 11.
