Vote To Retain
Excise Taxes
WASHINGTON, —By a unani
mous vote the House ways and
means committee today approved
legislation continuing indefinitely
the war-time tax rates on liquor,
jewelry, furs, and many other
goods and services.
Chairman Knutson <R.-Minn.>
announced that another bill will
be introduced continuing the war
time postal rates which raised
the local mailing charge from two
to three cents and boosted mailing
costs in some other categories.
Under Republican domination
for the first time in 16 years, the
tax framing committee followed
President Truman’s recommenda
tion that the automatic rollback
of excise taxes, scheduled for July
-1, be headed off so that the gov
ernment would get an estimated
$1,130,000,000 from this source in
the next fiscal year.
Although the committee took no
formal action on the postal rates,
Knutson indicated that legislation
continuing the higher rates would
get quick approval. This also was
recommended by Mr. Truman
and is expected to yield an estim
ated $65,000,000 a year.
Knutson told reporters he ex
pects the House to pass the con
tinuation bill early next week.
