Treasury Postpones
Recommendationson on
New 1912 Tax Bill
Denies Making Request
For Increase in Rute
For Social Security
"A. P. Wirephotos.

The Treasury will ask Congress
for a new tax law early in 1912, it
was learned today, TO supplement
the revenue provided in the l941
act which has raised individual in
come taxes to the highest level in
American history.
For the present the Treasury is
exploring the possible new sources
of revenue, but it has come to no
decisions of that score. An official
Treasury spokesman denied reports
that the Treasury has recommended
to the White House an increase in
the social security tax rate in addi-
ton to a broadening of the social
security tax base.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
gerthau mentioned to his press con-
ference last month that he was con-
templating the tax increase, but he
has avoided subsequent attempts TO
draw him out on the matter.
1t was the original intention of
the Treasury, in framing its revenue
program for the emergency period,
to present Congress with two taxa
ton requests this year. The first
request was made in April and be-
came the l941 Revenue Act, but the
enactment of this request into law
took 50 long and so many new spend
ing problems have arisen since last
April that the second installment of
the Treasury request has been post
poned.
