Hope Slight for Truman's Big Tax Bill
Washington, Aug. 4 AP: President Truman’s bid for a 10 billion tax increase seems unlikely this year as Senate finance committee members favor reducing the House 7.2 billion bill to perhaps 5 billion. The panel, after six weeks of hearings, will begin drafting next week, with two to three weeks of closed sessions likely, delaying passage before September. Byrd and Millikin foresee major rewrites to address hardships and inequities, and a federal sales tax appears unlikely to replace existing excises.

The first effect of a new economic controls law is a mixed signal as easier credit spurs scattered increases in car and appliance sales. While some cities report upturns with 18 month terms for autos and appliances and 36 months for home improvements, over half show no change. Retailers plan advertising to highlight longer payment terms though observers warn gains may be offset by anticipated price hikes. News notes roaring demand in white goods in New York and hopeful moves to reduce TV inventories, while auto firms seek price relief from OPS oversight and potential excise tax boosts could cut net payments. Meat and livestock forecasts are cautiously optimistic with some price stability and others predicting shortages.
