May Not Need Great Tax Increase Says Snyder
Secretary John W. Snyder told the House Ways and Means Committee that a $10 billion tax increase might be enough to avoid a deficit next year. He noted the treasury’s strong cash position could reduce the earlier $16 billion proposal, with a June 30 surplus projected and today’s treasury showing almost $5.4 billion. He still urged Congress to enact the $10 billion tax boost to fund heavy 1952 expenditures.
