Plan Earns Study Say Morgenthau on Induced Savings
Washington July 30 Secretary Morgenthau said a plan of induced savings urged by Senator George of Georgia deserves study. It would tax high incomes and invest the money in government securities to be refunded with interest after the war. He cautioned he did not endorse the plan and noted George as senate finance chairman speaks with special weight. Morgenthau indicated war bond sales might require revised views and predicted July sales around 900 million. In 28 days of July bond sales totaled 806 million. Senator Brown proposed channeling incomes above 25 000 into bonds for the war duration as a way to raise 6.271 billion in revenue.
