Tax plan promises billions in revenue changes and plea shifts
The article notes over 16 billion dollars in revenue from July 1 this year to July 1, 1950 with another 200 million from estates and non-residents. A plan aims to yield 600 million more for the year ending July 1, 1951, but no long term increases are seen thereafter. A defendant asked to change his plea to innocent after claiming a lighter sentence was promised. A second indictment returned earlier was voided due to a federal agent being present during grand jury testimony.
