House Cool 10 Plan
For Tax on All Pay Of
Military Personnel
BY the Associated Press

President Truman's suggestion
that all military pay be taxed as
income raised little enthusiasm in
the House today.
The President offered the pro-
posal in a letter made public yes
terday at an Armed Services sub
committee hearing. The law
makers are studying a bill to
raise military pay an average Of
about IA per cent and establish a
standard pension system for the
armed forces.
Mr.. Trumans letter. addressed
to Secretary of Defense Forrestal
said preliminary studies indicate
the pay bill would cost $500, ,000.-
900 more a year than present
schedules. Some way must be
found to bring this cost down to
meet budget requirements" the
President said.
Allowances Not Taxed.
Mr.. Truman's national defense
budget for the fiscal year begin
ming July l proposed $400, 200, 900
for raising military pay.
AS a means of bringing the total
cost of new pay rates down to the
budget figure, the President sug-
gested that military pay might be
taxed on a gross basis. Base and
longevity pay is taxed as income
now, but allowances for housing
and food are not.
Up to the first of this year the
pay of all enlisted personnel was
exempt from taxes, while officers
got an extra $500 exemption.
There has been no effort thus far
to continue those exemptions.
Kilday Seeks Details.
Among junior officers the tax
free rental allowances may run as
high as a third of total pay, under
certain conditions.
Il am not sure that taxing all
military pay would make as much
Iof a saving as the President
wants" said Representative Kill
day, Democrat. Of Texas, who is in
charge Of hearings on the pay
bill. 1--WE are asking for details
on his figures"
Other committee members said
they do not expect the bill to in
clude the Presidents suggestion.
In present form it would leave
allowances untaxed.
