not be made for several DAYS.
Mrs. Colgan was in serious condi-

Forced Savings Plan
To Raise IS Billions
May Go 10 Congress
Proposal Would Mean
Big Increase in Lood
On Toxpoyers
BY the Associated PresS.


A program which would force
Americans to buy about 5,000,-
100000 worth of Government
bonds annually to aid in financ-
ing the war and controlling in
fiation may be laid before Con2
gress after it disposes of the tax
bill, it was learned yesterday.
Expected to involve either stiff
increases in present and proposed
taxes Or the imposition of new ones,
the program is to be worked cut by
a joint congressional committee
established by the revenue bill and
directed to report by December /.
Working with this committee will
be Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau. who recently urged that
Congress supplement present vol
untary bond investments by levying
against the amount of money in
dividua,s spend to provide a form
of compulsory savings.
Big Burden for Taxpayers.
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee expressed the
belief that to be of any benefit in
reducing the war deficit a compul-
sorry savings program would have
to produce $4,000, 100000 to s15,-
900 10000 yearly. He added that
while taxation appeared the only
feasible method of enforcing bond
investments, there was some doubt
that taxpayers could stand this ad-
ditional burden on top of the high
taxes they will pay under the new
revenue measure.
THE Treasury ought to have sub
mltted compulsory savings plan a
year ago, when we could have ap-
preached this problem by making
gradual increases in taxes" he told
reporters. Now if we are to get
anything like the amount that will
oe needed, We may have to make a
sudden and sharp increase in taxes"
Senator George said it would re-
qulre an average increase of about
70 per cent in the individual tax
rate schedule to produce $1,000 ,OOO.-
900 monthly. Even if corporations
were Included in the compulsory
savings program, he said the average
Individual tax rate increase might
reach Is per cent.
Thus an individual in the low
income brackets, who will pay at
the starting rate of "a cents on
each dollar of taxable income under
the revenue bill, might have 80 cents
