3 Key Agencies Study
COOPERATIVE Buying

A move to prevent competition
and conflict in Government buy
ing of materials for military and
civilian purposes is under way
in three key agencies.
Defense Secretary johnson,
General Services Administrato
Jess Larson. and Budget Director
Frank c. Pace, jr., announced
in a joint statement yesterday
that they have laid the ground
work for cooperative studies and
programs to that end.
When GSA was established
several months ago, President
Truman declared, in a directive,
that it should be the main civil
ian supply agency and arm of the
Government" He called on the
Defense Department to work with
GSA Ito develop areas of under
standing" in efficient purchasing.
The joint statement today,
GSA official explained, not only
formally pledged such cooper
alton but paved the way for the
working out specific methods of
avoiding duplication, waste and
disputes in purchases.

Bill Would Eu|oeize Work
OF Mai. Waller Reed

The achievements of Maj. WAL
ter Reed of Virginia in the cam
paign to eradicate yellow fever
would be eulogized in a three
year program. under legislation
pending in both House and Sem
ate.
Senator Jenner, Republican, OF
Indiana, called for early action
on the Senate Joint Resolution
he introduced yesterday. An
identical measure was introduced
in the House by Representative
Bland. Democrat, of Virginia, who
represents Gloucester County.

this forces the remainder of the
tax structure to bear a "dispro-
portionate load"
He argued that the weaknesses
of these levies Include excessive
exemptions, unduly low effective
rates on most estates and the fact
that the law, as written, favors
large estates over smaller ones and
leaves substantial amounts of
wealth completely beyond the
reach of the tax laws"
Other Steps Proposed.
These shortcomings should be
corrected, the President said, and
then, with the changes proposed
in the corporate laws, the coun-
try could expect a billion more
income.
For the moderate" increase in
corporation rates, the President
asked a boost in the present 38
per cent levy on income above
$4,000. but did not specify how
much. He then asked that the
rate ultimately decided on be ap-
piled to income between $4,000
and $50,000. which now is taxed
SO per cent.
Below $4,000 there would be
no change.
Two additional steps are urged
as follows:
/. Extend the loss carry-for-
ward provision from two to five
years. ito provide more scope for
offsetting the losses of bad years
against the profits of good.
2. Postpone the tax on corpor-
ate income earned abroad until it
Is brought home. to extend and
generalize the present credit for
taxes paid abroad, and to liberal
ize the foreign investment re-
quirement for exemption of in
come earned abroad.

These changes. Mr.. Truman

for investors now negotiating with

These changes, together with the
safeguards for our investors which
we are in the process of negotia-
ting with foreign governments,
will provide real stimulation for
the expansion of United States
investment abroad.

The tax program I am recon-
is designed to strength

will yield revenues sufficient to

these changes in the tax laws to
stimulate investment at home, we
should make certain changes in
the tax laws concerning income
derived from foreign investments
and personal services abroad.
This would provide significant
support to developed regions of
the world.
Expands Investment Abroad.
Among the steps which should
be taken at this time are to post

as the case might be.
We have come through the war
and a difficult transition period
with the financial strength of our
Government maintained and an
economy producing far above pre-
war levels. We should continue

Urges Permanent Insurance Tax.

the basic purposes Of those Or
ganizations which should rightly
be aided by tax exemption"

present law. he continued, life

He called for a permanent
system for the taxation of life
insurance companies which will
remove the inequities of under
taxation in this field without i'm
pairing the ability of individuals
to acquire life insurance protec-
ton"
The President named moving
picture stars as major beneficiar-
les of the plan of easing taxes by
paying on capital gains instead of
income, and said they might es-
cape as much as two-thirds of
their taxes by this means.
Calls for Practical Program.
Pointing to the studies that the
Treasury and Congress have been
making of these angles. Mr.. Tru-
man said "a practical program
which would 60 far toward clos
ing these loopholes, can be enact

In calling for increases in es-
tate and gift taxes, a proposal he
has made on other occasions,

year ago by the President. who
wanted at that time to raise per-
sonal income rates-a stand which
he modified later when business
slumped.
/ Saying that "a sharp increase
in taxes under present economic
conditions would be unwise," he
added that however, in line with
the policy of gearing changes in
revenue laws to the needs of our
economy. I would not hesitate, If
strong intlationary or def1ationary
forces should appear. to support
all measures necessary to meet the
situation. including more pro-
nounced adjustment of tax rates
upward or downward. as the case
might be-"
Mr.. Truman said his recon-
mendations would not be reflected
in higher revenue for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1851, "but
they will result in larger revenues
in subsequent years and at the
same time, substantially improve
the structure of our tax system for
the long rum
Represents Proper Balance.
He expressed the opinion that
the billion-dollar net increase
sought represents. under present
economic conditions, a proper bal
ance between the objective of
balancing the budget as soon as
possible. and the objective of CO.
ordinating tax adjustments with
the requirements of continued
prosperity"
AS in his earlier state of the
Union, economic and budget
measures. the President respond
ed, in this general connection, to
continued demands for economy
by asserting that the Government
should foster an expanded econ
omy and by warning against
drastic reductions in Federal ex-
penditures in the wrong places
and at the wrong time" despite
the fact that the Government is
operating in the red.

any substantial increase in receipts
in the fiscal year 1851, but they
will result in larger revenues in

time. substantially improve the
structure of our tax system for

A sharp increase in taxes under
present economic conditions would
be unwise. However, in line with

President Truman said.
Our tax structure should rec
ognize differences in ability to
pay; it should provide incentives
to new undertakings and expan-
sion of existing businesses; it
should support the objective of
increasing opportunities for all our
citizens to obtain a better standard
OF living, and it should rigidly
exclude unfairness or favoritism."

Cites Oil and Mine Exemptions.
1 wish to call the attention OF
the Congress to the more i'm
portant of these loopholes. While
some of them are of long stand
ing, their injustice has been ag-
gravated as the taxes assessed
against the rest of the population
have been increased. A tax con-
cession to a favored few is always
unfair, but it becomes a gross
injustice against the rest of the
population when tax rates are
high. The case for the elimina-
tion of these inequities would be
strong even if there were no need
for replacement revenue. It is
compelling when excise relief de-
pends on it.
I know of no loop hole in the
tax laws so inequitable as the
excessive depletion exemptions
now enjoyed by oil and mining
interests.
Under these exemptions, large
percentages of the income from
oil and mining properties escape
taxation, year after year. Owners
of mines and oil wells are per-
mitted, after deducting all costs
of doing business. to exclude from
taxation on account of depletion
as much as half of their net in
come. In the case of ordinary
businesses, investment in physical
assets is recovered tax-free
