Edward A. O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
urged the Senate Finance Commit
tee this afternoon to make a sharp
boost in the total of the So ,236, TOO, =
900 new tax bill by hiking income
and corporation levies instead of new
excise and sales taxes.
Contending that more of the
people should contribute to the de-
fense program on the basis of abil-
ity to pay, he recommended that
the present personal exemptions of
$500 for single persons, $1,000 for
married couples and $500 for each
dependent be cut to at least half
those levels.
According to studies made by the
Iowa State College" he testified,
lowering the exemptions by one
half would add $11 ,000, ,000, 900 to the
tax base, of which $4,000, ,000, 900 is
between the income levels of $1,000
and $4,000 and the remainder
would be added from incomes above

$4,000 to 5000 year plus as much
as $4,000 a year for her clothing.
He said he bought her an autonio-
