INCOME TAX SCHEME
CREATES DIFFICULTY

Washington, Jan. 7.-(R)-The DEM
ocratic plan to raise the income tax
rates to wartime levels created such
a division in the party ranks that
there were indications Saturday the
idea might be dropped altogether.
As hints Of opposition appeared
among the Democrats there came
from Republican quarters signs that
II any new budget-balancing takes are
to be proposed q drive would be made
for sales tax to which President
elect Roosevelt Is opposed.
Democratic leaders themselves were
quick to say that higher income levies
would be pushed only as last-ditch
effort to bring the nations income in
line with expenditures. Even Speak
er Garner said he had q tax plan
which he thought would be mot quite
50 painful and more effective"
But from Hyde Park came word
that Roosevelt Is standing by the pro-
gram outlined at Thursdays New York
conference with congressional leaders.
It was added, however, that the de-
tails were to be left to Washington
party chieftains.
Until more sentiment Is developed
and the need for additional revenue
more definitely established in actual
figures, the leaders will concentrate on
the rest Of their program OF repeal.

enactment they believe that an extra
