Charities May Be Tax Exempt. Gifts Urged by Red Cross
In wartime Australia and other combat nations, gifts to charities could be exempted from taxation. The Red Cross, led by Seward Prosser, pushes an amendment to the income tax law to allow gifts to religious, charitable, scientific and educational bodies to be deducted from income and not taxed. The proposal, supported by Senator Hollis and various finance committee members, seeks to amend the ninth paragraph of section 5. Names listed include Simmons, Stone, Williams, Hoke Smith, Townsend, Lodge, La Follette, and others. The measure awaits finance committee review.
