Senate panel tightens bid on 2.14 billion revenue bill
The Senate Finance Committee met in executive session to push the added revenues bill through before Christmas. Senator Walsh said further increases are unlikely and the panel will study the house bill page by page over at least ten days. The Treasury warned of higher taxes for all, while a plan to remove the victory tax and roll 9 million taxpayers onto the income tax would hurt low income families. The panel ended public hearings after a day on war contract renegotiations, with Undersecretary Patterson citing 1.5 billion in excess war profits recaptured.
