President's $5 Billion Tax Bill Set for Quick Senate Passage
Washington Aug 2 Senator George D-Gs predicted the President Truman tax bill will pass quickly substantially as submitted. He said it may raise 6 to 8 billion next year if national income grows and noted resistance in Congress to applying the increase to all 1950 corporate income. The plan would boost individual rates up to 20 percent and raise corporate taxes with a 25 percent first bracket and 45 percent over 25,000. Proposals include excess profits taxes and pay as you go financing for current defense costs.
