New Tax Field Sought
To Yield Bulk Of
Q-bi|lion Increase
SoIes and Withholding
Levies Are Mentioned
By Senator George
~ tie Associated Press.

ey the Associated Press.
A months intensive study has
convinced most congressional fiscal
experts that the bulk of proposed
$4,000 .OO0. 900 addition to Federal
revenues will have to be raised by
some new form of taxation, Chair
man George Of the Senate Finance
Committee said today.
The great problem" he declared
els to determine whether this would
be a sales tax, a withholding tax
on pay rolls or some other system
There has been no definite decision
made on that point"
=. Senator George told reporters
: however. that satisfactory prog
ress" toward the formation of new
tax program was being made in
daily conferences between the Treas
ury officials and representatives of
the Joint Congressional Committee
on Internal Revenue.
Sees Three Weeks of Work.
Nevertheless, he believed three
more weeks of work would be nee
essary before definite recommends
tions could be agreed on and pre-
sented to the House Ways and
Means Committee, which then will
start public hearings on the new
tax measure.
The chief problem now, Senator
George said, is to find a form of
new taxation which would yield
= a substantial share of the $7,0OO,-
O00, 900 in general taxes called for
in President Roosevelt's budget
Consideration will be given later
to a proposed $4,000 900 900 addition
to social security revenues.
I'VE have found" Senator George
said, that we can't depend on the
> individual and corporation income
. tax to yield the major share of the
additional levies. We are going tc
have to get a substantial part Of
them from some form of taxation
which the Federal Government i,
not now trying"
Other Tax Possibilities.
He then mentioned the possibility
Of sales taxes, payroll taxes or some
other method.
The Senate committee chairman
said there were obvious difficulties
to be faced in an attempt to drair
of more revenues from business con-
Germs, particularly since the revenue
NJ nf al
ready had been reduced by the loss
of materials through priorities.
Many of the smaller corporations
and some of the larger ones as we'll
are going to be badly crippled by this
war program" he said. Not all OF
them can be converted to war work
and many of them are going to have
to be shut down"
"Supertax" on War Profits.
He said there was room for the
imposition of "supertax" on wal
profits made by those industries
holding direct or indirect contracts
with the Government. While this
might raise a substantial amount of
revenue, he predicted that it would
be offset in part by the loss of rev.
enues from corporations which did
not obtain such contracts.
Senator George said recently that
he was opposed to any reduction in
the present personal exemptions on
individual incomes, now set at $3.50
for single persons and 81 500 for mar
ried couples. He said then. however
that increases in both individual and
corporation rates were almost GER
tain to be made.

CAIRO. Dec. 26.-Official an
nouncement was made here to-

main forces are now within 3ls
miles of the Tunisian border. That
point was somewhere west of Ser
to. but how far beyond thta place
was not made known. Detach-

said to be even closer to the Tuni-

ceived from them that they had
had three clashes with Marshal
Rommefs men since yesterday.
If the British eighth army, I'M
der Montgomery, continues it's
present progress, it is thought
that it will be fighting in the vi
cinity of Tripoli in the next week
or so. Allied planes, which are ac-
companying Montgomcry's forces,
destroyed two large supply barges
in Tripoli harbor yesterday, it
was officially stated.
