President Will Ask Tax Boost and Stronger Controls
President Truman expected to request higher taxes and tighter economic controls in a three-part package to be unveiled in coming days. Advisers anticipate a peacetime budget near 43 billion dollars, with defense spending and regulatory powers expanded, including steel allocation and tightened export and bank rules. The plan may omit an excess profits tax, shifting potential burden to corporate rates or high-bracket incomes, while aiming for a near balance in the 1949 year and a 1950 budget around 43 billion.
