pay-as-Yo Tax
Program EssentiaI,
George Asserts
Bankrupt Toxpoyers Seen
Unless Relief Is. Voted
In Lower Brackets

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman George OF the Senate
Finance Committee yesterday ex-
pressed the belief that lowAr-bracket
income tax rates should be read
justed" in the next tax bill and
some form Of pay-as-you-earn tax
collection plan adopted, to clear the
way for compulsory savings.
Despite the Treasurys recon-
mendation for immediate drafting
Of new tax measure to provide
$4,000, ,000, 900, Senator George said
no new revenue legislation would be
considered until after the Seventy
eighth Congress convenes in jan
uary.
Then-"and there's no use to blink
at It" he addeq-if the Treasury
ohicials think 1t desirable to increase
the direct burden on taxpayers,
Congress faces enactment OF sales
tax
Sees Ad djustment Essential.
b Inauguration of compulsory saw
ings alone, the chairman declared,
would necessitate readustlnent of
corporate as well as individual in
come tax rates, and certainly some
pay-as-you-earn plan to keep indi-
viduals current with their financial
obligations to the Government.
IF we can't keep 80 or 80 per,
cent of the taxpayers current and.
the remainder two-thirds current is
to Federal taxes, we face at the end
of the war such drop-off in income
as will bankrupt the taxpayer and
cause wholesale defaults" the Geor-
gian told newspapermen.
Indeed, he added, some taxpayers
might find their obligations too
heavy to meet during the course of
the war, maybe even next year.
This might be true, he said, where
men left high -salaried positions and
large fixed obligations to join the
Army or to take small-salaried Gov
,ernment posts as their contribution.
to the war effort.
Can't Collect, He Says.
Senator George indicated there
was very little the Government
could do to collect taxes in such
cases.
TT just can't be helped" he said.
"The Government can never under
take to destroy its citizens who, be-
coyco of raH,,cad oiro,,v,, cfo~oa. a~d
it impossible to meet their taxes
Senator George said he believed
taxpayers as whole could stand a
considerable amount of compulsory
saving-"but not without readjust-
ing the individual and corporate in
come tax rates and fitting those
rates into the compulsory savings
program"
'The readjustment would result
in increasing the actual dollar out
lay of the taxpayers" he said, but
I think the greater percentage OF
that increase would be represented
by savings rather than direct taxes.
r Some of the direct taxes now
bear very heavily on the people in
the lower. brackets. {
I'VE cannot increase their taxes,
or even keep the high rates of the
tax bill just passed, and have COM
pulsory savings, too, without taking
the bread out of the mouths of the
poor people" .-
On the. other hand, he said, he
thought many Corporations could
stand m increase in rates, taking
into consideration the postwar tax
credits granted them by the new
law. -.
Readjustment of individual taxes.
he conceded, might mean transform
ing the per cent victory tax" into
a vehicle for compulsory savings.

A call came in for Kate Smith.
But the deadline for q 10-minute

told to hang up. "They won't let
me talk to my own sister," Kate
said laughingly.
The radio star was tense with
emotion when, reading her script,
she reminded Washington that

In thanking each bond purchaser
personally, Miss Smith ended her
greetings by saying "Good-by now,'
