Truman renews call for 10 billion tax hike in Senate debate
President Truman told the Senate that its tax increase bill would not balance the budget and urged a $10 billion hike. He criticized loopholes and provisions benefiting special groups as debate began on the measure. The finance bill would raise about 5.506 billion yearly, while a House bill estimates 7.2 billion. The Senate session moved to speed consideration, marking the third major tax hike since the Korean War began.
