Truman Plans Congress Plea For Higher Taxes
Treasury Secretary Snyder said President Truman will ask Congress for higher individual and corporate taxes to finance the Korean war. An interim tax bill is likely with a plan to remove loopholes, and pay-as-you-go for corporations is discussed. Congress may implement a 10 percent levy by Oct. 1 to meet the $10.5 billion request. Snyder noted inflation controls by bankers and warned of broader action if needed. Senate finance hearings will resume after the request. In other news, maritime security talks and projections on Marshall Plan funds for European military projects are reported, along with concerns about living costs and inflation. A murder charge was brought in Manila against Ester del Rosario Murray for the death of her American husband last August.
