Tax Dodgers Face New Federal Drive
President Roosevelt allocated 5,112,125 for a three fold drive to tighten tax collection. The plan includes income tax checks on small filers and a liquor tax evasion probe, with 1,000 white collar workers employed. Delinquent tax survey funds target 20 large cities while the census index aids old age pensions, all to boost revenues and prevent duplication. The central board of review chaired by Kreps coordinates these efforts across federal, state, and local surveys.
