Washington, Aug. 2s-INs-With
defense expenditures soaring. the
Senate Finance Committee today
hunted new sources OF revenue to
boost the new tax bill beyond the
original goal of $S,5OO,OOO.OO
A special subcommittee, working
with Treasury and congressional
tax experts. is slated to lay before
the committee possible new sources
OF revenue today, while the Treas
ury is to make it's delayed recon-
mendation for hiking the excess
profits tax on corporations.
Majority Leader Barley Is said
to be taking the lead In the effort
to find acceptable taxes to boost the
tax bill closer to 81, 000,000,000.
Increased levies on beer, cigar
cites and selected luxury taxes are
to be considered before the big tax
bill is finally whipped into shape
for action next week,
"There is general agreement to
try and find legitimate sources OF
revenue to raise the bill to $4,000

With the excess profits tax, as
approved by the House. estimated
to take $1.19S, 100000 from profits
of corporations in addition to other
taxes. the Treasury is expected to
recommend an increase in rates.

II think it is the hope OF the

but cannot say that 1t can be
done before the bill gets to the
Senate" said George.

excise taxes previously adopted by
