Present Exemption
May be Reduced
by Committee

Washington, Aug. 25-lNs- The
Senate Finance Committee today
voted to cut Individual income tax
exemption to $500 for married
persons and $3.50 for single per.
sons. Present exemptions are, re-
spectively, $1,000 and $500.
Washington. Aug. 25-UP-The
Senate Finance Committee meets
in executive session today to con-
slider ways and means OF adding
100000 to the House approved
$4,000 900, 900 revenue bill, pos
sibly by reducing the exemptions
given to present income taxpayers.
During the closed hearing, the
COMMITTEES will be given the. views
of Treasury experts on proposed
revision of the House version of
the measure. The Treasury went
on record several weeks ago in
favor OF dropping exemptions OF
married persons from $4,000 to ST.
500 and those of single individuals
from $500 to $3.50. There were indi-
cations, however. that the exemp-
ton for the married may be COM
promised at about s1.700.
Reduction of the exemptions
would bring the bills reyenue-rais-
ing possibilities to about $780,
100000, according to Treasury wit
nesses who appeared during the 16
days of hearings devoted by the
Finance committee to the tax prob
lem. The House bill was stripped
of $500. 100000 in money raising
power when the lower chamber
OVERRIDE. the recommendation of
its Ways and Means Committee
and refused to authorize manda-
tory joint returns by husbands and
wives. The Treasury and the
House committee had recommend
ed the provision to avoid Income
splitting" which prevented the
position of high surtax rates.
In addition to the proposed cut
in exemptions, the Senate group
may consider a five per cent sales
tax, exempting food. clothing and
medical supplies. 1t is sponsored
by Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg.
who believes 1t would produce
$500, 100000 in additional revenue
Another proposal to which SER
ious attention may be accorded
calls for three per cent withhold
ing tax, payable at the source Of
income.
