President Truman urged Congress to approve the remaining portion of his 1951 tax program for 1952, proposing a near five billion dollar rise. He avoided a pay-as-you-go mobilization for now and did not specify which taxes would rise. The budget includes a large deficit forecast and a push for revenue through rate hikes and closing loopholes, while opposing spending cuts to defense. The economic advisory council warned against excessive tax hikes but supported raising revenues to curb inflation risks.
