Truman faces tax questions amid deficit plans
Boyle reported from Miami that the American public would back President Truman if he urges higher taxes to cover a prospective deficit. Truman did not commit to a tax increase, noting war-time excises might be eliminated and new taxes considered to balance the 1951 budget projected at 41 to 45 billion dollars. Boyle pledged full support for taxes and the fair deal, and urged local officials to pressure congressmen to back the president and party platform.
