|0Id-Age Tax Increase
May Be Deferred in
New Revenue Bill
BY J. A. o'LEARY.

A temporary poStponement OF
the increase in payroll taxes for
old-age insurance due to take ef-
feet January ! may be written into
the $1,000, 100000 tax reduction bill
nearing completion in the House
Ways and Means Committee today.
There also were reports that
Democrats on the committee may
urge retention of wartime excise
tax rates on jewelry, fur coats,
liquor and many other commodi-
ties throughout 1916, instead of fix
ing July / as the date for a return
to the peacetime level of excise
rates.
This move is being considered as
a means of making up approx
mately $500, ,000, 900 of additional re-
lief the committee voted to give
individuals on their income taxes
by going beyond Treasury recon-
mendations in cutting surtax rates.
Unless Congress freezes the old
age tax rate again, the rate will
go up automatically on January l
from to 2h per cent each on en-
ployer and employe, thereby partly
offsetting the reduction in income
taxes being granted for l946 in
the pending measure.
Secretary of the Treasury Vim
son recommended Monday that the
social security payroll levy be held
at the present rate until Congress
decides on broader coverage and
other changes in the Social Sc
curity Act, and until today indica-
tions were the committee would
wait and deal with this issue sep
arately. One Democratic committee
member said today he thought 1t
could be settled In the pending
general tax bill
In his three-point program for
1916 tax relief, Secretary Vinson
recommended that excise taxes &C
back to the prewar rates next July
The committee recessed early yes
terday afternoon with corporation
tax changes still pending, and later
Mr.. Vinson went to the Capitol to
60 over the situation with Demo-
cratic members of the committee
Chairman Doughton hopes The
committee will complete by tonight
the first tax reduction bill it has
been able to consider in Is years.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-08-16
Celebrdtors Repent ReDeLry Performance
Auto Horntooters Stud Enthusiastic Downtown Crowd Wednesday Night; Closed Restaurants Force Mony 10 Retire on Empty Stomochs

Waterbury got its second wind last evening, after blowing its top off in peace celebrations, and gave g repeat performance of the Victory show.
 The spontaneity and wild enthu- siasnl that followed the surrender announcement was somewhat lack ing, but thousands appeared on the Center scene once again with their horns and noisemakers. Automo- bile horntooters had the best time of all, since they had no worry about running out of gas, with the lifting of the ban.
 Most obvious was the will to eel ebrate. But with restaurants and bars shut tight, there was little to do except mill around the streets and make noise.
 Boys and girls ran up and down the Green and set off an occasional firecracker.
 Periodically, a city that had been preparing for the celebration of peace for five days found itself without food yesterday. With prac- ttcally every restaurant in the city closed, hundreds experienced the first bangs of hunger in lifetime. Desperate Bachelors
 Two bachelors in desperation bought a can of peanut brittle at 8 newspaper stand to relieve their hunger last night, but were unable to find 8 can opener.
 With grocery stores closing si- mul ltaneously with the victory news, the larder in many a Waterbury home appeared barer than ever.
 The Waldorf restaurant and the cafeteria at the Y.M.C.A. fed an un- precedented number of hungry peo- pie at noon, who waited a long time for tables. Each closed toward mid afternoon.
 At dinner hour, the Kings Kitchen and the Copper Room in the Elton were the only restaurants in the downtown area offering ac- commodations to the hungry. Wait ing in queues outside the doors, many persons reported they were growing weak from want of food.
 Six youthful soldiers from the Avon Home for the Blind, Avon, were among the diners who gustily enjoyed dinner at the Kings Kitch- en. Though they were provided with the first table available. some- time elapsed before the combat vet erans could be seated. In the in- terim, they sang, chided one an- other and displayed a patience sur- passing that of many of the others biding their time for a substantial meal. The soldiers were led to tables by priest and local po- liceman.
 Many Waterbury roomers, who retired on a empty stomach last night, were keenly delighted to find their favorite restaurant or cof- fee shop open this morning. The city's principal chain markets and neighborhood grocers also opened their doors to impatient house. wives.
