Senators Told
.5Pct. Sales Tax
Is Feasible
Experts Soy Levy
Would Produce
~ Billion q Yeur
(Story on Poge A-D
Earlier Story on Page AID

Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
By the Associated Press.
Congressional tax experts told
the Senate Finance Committee
today that a S per cent retail
sales tax would be feasible and
would produce approximately
$4,000, 100000 annual revenue.
Colin F. STAN. head of the con-
gressional staff, said he had asked
additional time to report to the
committee on the effect of a
Treasury proposal to levy taxes on
individual expenditures as part of
new program to obtain s6,5oO, ,000,-
600 more revenue than was pro-
vided in the s6,271 ,000, 900 House
bill.
The Treasury proposal would re-
suit in collection of about $780,
500 100000 yearly, with about s4,-
500 600, 900 set aside for postwar
rebates to individuals.
Opposition Expressed.
Immediately after the Treasury
program was presented yesterday
more than a majority of the COM
mittee members expressed opposi-
ton to it.
Mr.. STAN said he agreed general
ly with Randolph Paul, Treasury
general counsel, that If a sales tax
were to be levied it ought to be at
a fiat rate. While the Treasury
official suggested levy on services
as well, the congressional staff op-
posd this.
Chairman George told reporters
the committee planned to decide
whether 1t would write into the new
revenue bill a spending tax as asked
by Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau, a sales levy or some other
form of source collection of taxes
before it acted finally on individual
income rates.
Senator Danaher, Republican, of
Connecticut explained to the COM
mittec his plan for collection OF
a sales levy by stamps.
Sales Levy by Stamps.
| Under the Danaher plan, each
purchaser of an article would be re-
quired to buy stamps OF 10 per cent
OF the sale price. These stamps in
turn could be used as payment on
the individuals income tax, or
could be held until after the war
when the Government would rebate
the amount they represented,
To tighten the effect on low in
come persons, Senator Danaher sug-
gested that when the first S25 worth
OF stamps had been obtained on $3.50
In purchases, the holder would be
permitted to purchase an additional
$3.50 in goods without paying any
tax.
Life Insurance Decision.
Aside from the discussions of the
sales and spending tax proposals.
the committee reached two deci-
slons today concerning taxation of
ordinary life insurance companies
(not mutuals).
1t rejected an amendment which
would have exempted such concarns
from the excess profits tax. Chair
man George said he understood that
lew II any such companies were
SUBJECT to the levy, but that the
committee did not want to estab-
nsn a precedent of allowing general
exemptions. ~ a.

tam a provision of the existing Ian,

ance companies not subject to the
