Income ox Cuts Urged
BY ALLEN DRURY

Washington, May 16. UP-Con- gressional circles apparently still were determined today to press for a fve-year program to ease the tax burden on individuals and cor porations.
 A joint congressional committee on taxation last week proposed the five-year program, including im- mediate refund of an estimated $5,- 700000,000 to corporations. The action would be taken under a clause in the excess profits law authorizing a 10 per cent refund in excess profits taxes.
 Chairman Walter F. George, D., Ga, of the senate finance commit tee, co-chairman of the joint com- mittee told reporters that he also favored reduction in individual in- come taxes at the earliest possible date "even if the Japanese war lasts for another year or two"
 Today George was on record as standing by his earlier statement and the committees proposals, de- spite President Truman's flat as- sertion at d press conference yes- terday that he wanted it definitely understood" there will be no re- duction in taxes of any kind until after the war with Japan is over.
 George told reporters he had mo wish to enter into a controversy with the President" At the same time he said an economic nosedive" would follow the end of the war unless the government has prompt tax-reduction program ready to go the moment the military phase is

Food Czor' 
BY ANN HICKS

Washington, May 16-CUP) - Congressional sources said today that President Truman had made war mobilizer Fred M. Vinson vir- tual food "CZar" and had directed him to work out a program to end charges of administration bungling in the meat situation. These sources said Vinson would order payment of direct subsidies | to cattle feeders and an increase in subsidies for packers in a dras- tic effort to alleviate the meat shortage.
 The Vinson program reportedly will be announced today or tomor- row. Besides subsidy revisions 1t is said to include pledge that any change in livestock ceiling prices or subsidy payments will be an- nounced six months in advance. Demands for these moves-plus requests for a food czar-have been voiced on Capital Hill with increas- ing frequency and ire in the last two months.
 Only yesterday the Senate Agri- culture Committee took OPA and War Food Administration to task for failing to cooperate" and rec ommehded appointment of "su- preme Food Administrator with control over both.
 The senators, echoing recommen- dations of house food investigators, also demanded payment forth with" of subsidies to cattle feeders. In addition, with what Chairman Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, described as the "use of force" they recom- mended amendment of the price control extension bill to require that OPA enable meat packers to make "A reasonable margin of pro- fit"
 Thomas has turned his report over to Chairman Robert F. Wag- ner, D., N. r., of the Senate Bank ing Committee, which has the price control bill before it.
 However, Thomas will not press for amendment of the act if OPA increases subsidy payments enough ito give the average packer chance to break even"
 If OPA doesn't, he will back bill recently introduced by Senate Pres ident Kenneth, McKellar, D., Tenn. which would amend the act to re- quire that processors of livestock be given "a reasonable margin of profit" on every kind of meat. over.
 He said he thought the govern ment could afford to permit the refund to corporations. He added he considered it necessary if business firms are to come through the re- conversion period safely.
 George said sound economy demands that the government pre- pare comprehensive program to reduce individual as well as cor porate taxes.
 He said it was all right to talk | about the end of the Japanese war but economic necessity doesn't wait.
 MT. Truman said taxes could not | be reduced until the end of the Japanese war because the United | States has obligation which must be l maintained One of them, he | pointed out, is the fact that 85 ,000- | 900 people own bonds.
 Those bonds must be protected, | the President said.
