Tells Press Conference Final
Decision Has Not Been
Made, However.
Cy the Associated Press


President Roosevelt, answering a
press conference question today, said 1t
had not been determined whether Con-
gress would have to enact new taxes.
He added, however, that as things look
now. such levies will not be necessary.
The President remarked that Treas
ury studies are being made and that
he hoped they would be in shape
for use by congressional committees
meeting in November to consider tax
revisions.
In answer to other queries, Mr..
Roosevelt said the undistributed profits
tax and the capital gains tax are being
given attention by the Treasury In this
connection.
These two levies recently have
drawn the fire of business spokesmen,
who have asserted they were partially
responsible for the stock market down.
trend.
The Chief Executive will confer
today with Daniel w. Bell acting
budget director, regarding financing
for proposed new corn loan program.
Secretaries Morgenthau and Wallace
will participate in the meeting.
There have been reports considera-
tion might be given to reimposing
processing taxes for the corn pro-
gram and for the new general farm
plan to be offered at the forthcoming
special session.
Asked whether he could comment on
the possibility of balanced budget
in the next fiscal year in the light of
his revamped budget for the current
year, Mr.. Roosevelt said he could only
repeat what he had said many times.
He often has predicted next years
budget will be balanced.
The revised income and spending
schedule for this year cut the revenue
forecast by s256,O00,O00 and increased
the deficit estimate by s277,000,o00.
