Head Hits
ReductiOm in axes

Miss Anna Lord Strauss, president
of the League of Women Voters,
yesterday called on Congress to
postpone reduction of taxes as long
as inf1ationary pressures exist and
to apply all surplus revenues to re-
ducing the national debt.
Gaining a few dollars now means
loss of dollar value later" Miss
Strauss declared. Temporary relief
TO the consumer now is political
plum which would turn to ashes In
our hands as prices soar even
further above incomes"
Miss Strauss said the league be-
lieves that continuing the present
rate of taxes while imitation pres
sures are present will help combat
imitation by keeping down demand
and by permitting Government debt
reduction. 1t also will enable the
United States to provide substantial
aid for European reconstruction, she
