Truman Against
Tax Reduction
_
WASHINGTON, (A5)—Secretary
of the treasury Snyder told the Re
publican-controlled Congress today
the Truman administration is flat
ly against any income tax re'luc- j
tion this year.
He said the administration spe
cifically opposes granting—now or
any other time — a proposed 21
per cent “across the board” tax
cut on incomes up to $303,009 a
year.
The secretary woe l.rst wit
ness at hearings by the House •
ways and means committee on a
bill by Rep. Knutson (R.-M-nn.* to
provide the straight 20 per cent
cut. Knutson is chairman of the'
committee.
Snyder said he believes “sub- J
stantial” tax cuts can be made in
the future, but he set the stage for
a major clash between Congress
and the Executive with this state
ment in his prepared testimony:
“It will be time enough to enact
tax reductions when and if there;
is definite evidence that the 1948
surplus is greater than prudence
requires to be applied towards re
duction of the public debt.”
And if Congress, is determined
I to cut taxes this year, he said, it
should give greater benefits to the
taxpayers with small incomes.
“The <20 per cent* bill would
give too little reduction to lower
incomes and relatively too much
to higher incomes,” Snyder said.
WASHINGTON, (A*)—Two for
mer undersecretaries of the treas
ury urged the House ways and
means committee today to go ahead
with plans to slice federal income
taxes 20 per cent across the board.
Hungary, Korea
Need Aid Badly
WASHINGTON, <A*)— Wartorn
Hungary and occupied Korea ’ iom
b.ggest today on any list ol poten
tial candidates for extension of
President Truman’s declaration of
support for 'free peoples.
Officials or several government
departments already are at work
on proposals to help these two na
tions whose plight—liKt* that of
Greece and Turkey—has e> ilted
at least in part from Soviet Rus
la’s expansive pressure.
The foreign help which the
United States has extended since
V-E day suggests that a global pro
jection of the policy Mr. Truman
outlined yesterday to Congress
might later include China and
Italy as well.
This government made plain its
ntention to bolster Hungary in
announcing a $15,000,000 surplus
property credit last month, and still
later by voicing a sharp protest
against Russia’s “direct interfer
ence” in an attempt to upset the
“freely elected” Democratic ma
jority in the Budapest parliament.
Korea, a nation divided by
-American and Russian occupation
zones, has a status somewhat like
Austria, but the Koreans can qual
ify as a free people under formal
declarations of wartime allies.
Congress is to be asked for ad
ditional funds for Korea, but the
amount has not been disclosed.
The witnesses—Roswell Magill,
lawyer and Columbia university
professor, and John W. Hanes, both
of New York—served in the treas
ury in the administration of the
late President Franklin D. Roose
velt.
