Withholding Tax
Seen by House
Committeeman
Income Levy Rates
Will Be Considered
By Group Today
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Revision of individual income tax
rates, by which the Treasury hopes
to raise So 400 900 900 of its So, TOO, =
600, 900 new revenue goal, was the
order of business before the House
Ways and Means Committee today.
Despite the Treasury recommended
tions, several committee members
predicted the rates would not be
set high enough to realize the
Treasury figure. They estimated
that less than S3000,000,0 would
be provided from new income tax
sources.
That, with other actions taken and
prospective, they said, would leave
the new bill perhaps $4,000 900, 900
less than the Treasury has recon-
mended.
Although individual taxes remain
to be determined definitely. Repre-
sentatives Robertson of Virginia,
McKeough and Healey Of Massa-
chusetts, Democratic members of the
committee, expressed belief there
was no escape from a withholding
tax" Under that plan, advocated
by Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau. maximum of 10 per cent
OF an individuals taxable income
would be deducted from each pay
check or pay envelope and credited
against his tax liability on the next
March IS return.
A. F. L. Protests Exemption Cut.
The committee decided last week
to reduce the income tax exemption
OF single person from $3.50 to $500
and of married couples from $500
to $1,000.
The American Federation of La.
Dor lodged a protest yesterday
against this proposal. A statement
by the Executive Council said that
while it was realized the cost OF war
must be paid by all people, I'VE in
sist that the Government should
continue to follow the basic prin-
ciple that the heaviest burden be
placed upon those best able to pay"
Lowering personal exemptions, the
council said, will not result in
equality of sacrifAe. 1t will hurt
most those who are least able to
pay" The council added that I'VE
don't doubt for a moment that Con-
gress will exact heavy taxes from
persons with high incomes this year,
but we submit that it is much less
of sacrifice to give DIP luxuries for
the sake Of the war than to destroy
the minimum standards of decent
living"
Sales Tax Recommended.
Mr.. Robertson said Congress
should have the courage" to ap-
prove a general sales tax even
though ''it might be politically un-
wise He declared the committee
would have to approve sales tax or
fall short of the Treasury's goal.
When the Treasury program was
first presented (asking $500, ,OO0,-
0O0)," Mr.. Robertson said, II did not
think it was adequate because the
total amount to be raised was not
enough. and 1t did not extend sac
rifices to all groups of income pro-
ducers.
The only way of meeting this
emergency would be to include some
suitable consumption tax"
Many committeeman have pre-
dicted that sales tax would not be
approved, even If the estimated yield
of s2,500 10000 from a S per cent
retail sales tax would bring the
bills total to the administration
