Mr.. Doughton's measure, intro
duced late yesterday, would pro-
vide, generally, 10 per cent in
creases in corporate and individual
income taxes normally payable next
March IS: 10 per cent increases in
most excise taxes and greater in
creases in the levies on such articles
as whisky, wine and beer.
While there was almost unanimity
on the question of raising new taxes
to finance the defense program,
nearly all the members of Congress
had their own ideas of how that
should be accomplished.

Some wanted to increase the new
tax program to $4,000, 600, 900 in view
of President Rooseveh's decision to
ask for another billion for defense.
There was considerable Senate
sentiment for broadening the in
come tax base, but it's chief advocate
in former sessions-Senator La
Toilette, Progressive, of Wisconsin,
said he had not decided whether to
