George Cd Ga, chairman OF the
Senate Finance Committee, today
proposed an 'inducted savings
and bond buying plan as part OF
the war finance and tax pro-
gram, in contrast to Great Bril-
tain's Compulsory savings" policy

economists.

allow both individuals and cor
porations TO defer part Of their IN
come tax until after the war, pro-
yiding they purchase non.interest
bearing defense bonds.
By this method, he believes, bill

program George said. My sug-
gestion is that a limited deferred
deduction from net income be
granted individual or corporation
taxpayers for investing in nonint-
crest bonds, repayable in five an

deduction from all net income. The
deduction might amount to 10 or
