Withholding Levy On All Incomes In U S Proposed Plan
Plans to compel every American wage earner to invest part of his weekly pay in the war effort were advanced in Congress. George Ga urged a 5 to 10 percent withholding on wages and dividends, while Gore proposed a 9 percent deduction starting at 20 to 10 dollars, with higher brackets capped at 25 000 after taxes and the rest for bonds. The measure faces Treasury opposition, with debate over exemptions and credits. House and Senate moves also target military pay increases and the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps proposal.
