Need of Tax Privilege Exempts Estates of Dead Veterans
Washington July 17 Congress was asked to exempt from taxation the estates of men dying while serving in the Army or Navy. C M A Rogers of Mobile and John J Gitman of New York urged the House Ways and Means Committee to grant special legislation to correct an injustice in the estate tax laws. Rogers said a life sacrificed for country should not incur estate tax and Gilman argued the tax cannot be justified. The loss to the Treasury would be small but could affect heirs of veterans. The committee is examining general tax revision proposals.
