Treasury to tighten checks on middle income tax returns
The Treasury Department aims to audit more individuals earning 7000 to 25000 dollars yearly if Congress funds extra enforcement agents. Testimony to the House Appropriations Committee showed middle earners make many errors in computing liability, with audits in 1949 mostly affecting higher incomes. Officials claim seven of ten returns in upper groups are erroneous, usually favoring taxpayers, and that 8.40 dollars are gained per dollar spent on added personnel.

FEPC Bill Locked in Rules Group by House Panel
President Truman's FEPC anti discrimination bill remained stalled in the House Rules Committee as Speaker Rayburn pushed Alaska and Hawaii statehood bills. Chairman Sabath summoned a session to free the measure, but with six votes against clearance the bill faced likely failure.
