Senate Advances Tax Bill Amid WW II Renegotiation Clamp
The Senate moved toward approving a wartime bill to curb contractor renegotiations by extending limits up to three years after the war. The chamber voted 50 to 35 to set a 5 percent victory tax on gross income over 624 dollars yearly and to freeze social security taxes in 1943 at 1 percent for employers and similar amounts for employees. President Roosevelt urged removal of the freezing amendment, a request George of Georgia supported on the roll call. Senate also adopted by 74 to 10 an amendment by Barkley enabling the joint tax staff to consult with lower government officials to obtain revenue information, a move criticized as a slap at the treasury secretary.
