Martin Sees Demo Victory on Tax Hike
Washington June 19 AP The Democrats seem poised to push the nations largest tax increase of 7.2 billion dollars as Republican leaders criticize the plan as unsound and lopsided. Representative Martin of Massachusetts predicts strong Democratic support while Senator Taft urges delaying any tax boost to December 1. President Truman era fiscal summaries show large surpluses projected for 1951 and administration officials expect continued budget windfalls. The Ways and Means Committee controversy grows as Republicans complain of being cut out of key decisions and the party leadership seeks expedited debate with a two day general session and a final vote expected later this week. The bill seeks a 12 percent defense tax plus corporate rate hikes and higher levies on goods like whisky cigars automobiles gasoline and sporting goods. A new 1 percent tax on bookmakers is projected to raise about 100 million annually. Taft argues against new controls while urging longer economic law extensions to Dec 1.
