persons who bought homes during
the last half of 1949 in nine of
the Nations large-city areas, of
which Washington is one. paid nc
money down. the Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported this week.
Veterans made up Is per cent of
the purchasers. and nearly half

This information was de-
veloped, said ELS, in a survey OF
financing. prices and rentals of
new housing covering the follow
ing cities besides Washington
Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Los
Angeles, Miami. Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and Seattle.
Custom building, however, was
excluded from the study, the

Survey Of Buying Habits
Ordered for BIS Index

The Government will begin in
the next two weeks a survey Of
how 1900 families in 81 cities
spend their money. 1t wants to
know their buying habits for a
general overhauling Of the cost OF
living index.
This index is issued once a
month by the Bureau OF Labor
Statistics. 1t attempts to show
what general change there has
been in the cost Of living due to
changes in the individual prices
of things the average family buys.
The price measure has taken on
increasing Importance in recent
years because many labor union
contracts include clauses allowing
for pay adjustments up or down
based on the f1uctuation of the
index. Nearly 2 million workers
in 100 companies are already COW
cred by such contracts.
For BIS, big question is what
items to include in its price meas
uring and how much Importance
to give to each.
Commissioner Evan Clague of
the BIS told a news conference
Yesterday that already such items
as television sets, beer and cola
drinks, frozen fruits and vege-
tables, ice cream. baby foods,
layer cake and group hospitaliza-
ton have been added to family
budgets and the index will be ad-
lusted to take account of them.

Canadian Volunteers
Recruited for Korea
May Serve in Europe
BY the Associated Press

OTTAWA, Dec. 28.-Conviction
grew in capital circles here today
that the bulk of Canada's 10000
troops recruited for United Nations
support would serve in Europe, not
in Korea.
These circles based their opin-
ion, voiced frequently in recent
months, on the army's announce
ment last night that it had Or
dered home most of an advance
party sent to Korea to set up a
training area for the Canadian
force.
These sources said the entire
force still was available to Gen.
Macarthur if he wanted them,
but they believed most of the
10000 men would be used to
strengthen the defenses of West
ern Europe. >
One Canadian battalion, how
ever, the Princess Patricia's Light
Infantry, arrived in Korea about
week ago and now is training for
combat. The army said about so
of the advance party's 345 men
would remain in Korea to handle
the battalion's administrative
problems.
Other elements Of the special
force now are training at Fort
Lewis, Wash.
1t is expected here tnat Parlia-
ment will be asked next month to
authorize assignment Of members
Of the special force to Europe.

Text OF Truman eter Senator Georqe on Tax Increases

| Second, to adjust the revised
corporate rate structure contained
in the pending bill by increasing
the normal corporate rate from 81
to Is per cent. Taking into ac-
count the 20 per cent surtax con-
tanned in the present bill, and the
$4,000 exemption from Surtax, this
would result in a Is per cent tax
on the first $25,000 of a corpora
tions income, and a As per cent
tax on the balance.
Third, to increase individual in
come tax rates to the tentative
levels adopted in 1945, by removing
the reductions from those levels
made in 1945 and 1948. This would
leave unchanged the income-Split-
ting provisions of present law, and
the present personal exemptions OF
$500 per person. These rate sched-
ules are familiar to the Congress,
since they were involved in the con-
sideration of the tax reductions
adopted in 1945 and 1948.
Should Apply This Year.
The increased corporate income
tax rates should be made applicable
beginning with 1850 corporation in
comes, as the pending bill would
do. With respect to individual in
come taxes, the increased rates
should be applicable beginning with
one-quarter of each taxpayers 1856

| income. This would require an in
crease in the withholding rate from
the present IS per cent to 18 pei
cent, beginning with the last quar-
ter of 1850.
These adjustments in the pend
ing tax bill would increase the
Governments revenue, on a full
year basis, by about S. billion at
present income levels. Clearly, this
will not meet our long-run revenue
requirements. AS an interim step,
however, it will have timely effect
on tax revenues and our financial
preparedness. It will serve to re-
strain inflationary forces generated
by increased defense expenditures.
Without this action, we would face
very substantial deficits before any
additional taxes could begin to be
collected.
In addition to increasing revenues,
enactment Of the revenue legisla-
tion am recommending would
improve the soundness of our tax
system. The loophole-closing pro-
visions of the pending bill will
strengthen the tax structure and
make it more equitable. This is
particularly desirable in view of
the higher tax rates in prospect,
which would surely increase the in
centive to exploit present tax loop
holes. Moreover, the corporate in
come tax structure will be sub

FOLLOWING is the teTt OF PreSi-
dent Trun1dn's letter to Chair
man George OF the Senate
Finance Committee on proposed
tar increases:
The increased military appropria-
ton requests transmitted to the
Congress on July "a, 1850, together
with other requests I shall tras-
NIT at a later date, will entail
sharply increased Federal expendi-
lures. We embark on these enlarged
expenditures at time when the
Federal budget is already out of
balance. This makes it imperative
that we increase tax revenues
promptly lest a growing deficit
create new inf1ationary forces det-
rimental to our defense effort.
We must make every effort to
finance the greatest possible
amount of needed expenditures by
taxation, and we must design taxa
ton methods which prevent pro-
f1teering and distribute the tax
burden fairly among the different
groups of our people.
appreciate that the development
Of a comprehensive revenue pro-
gram adequate for our present needs
will require careful Congressional
consideration. Our wartime ex-
perience will need to be reviewed
and alternative approaches explored.
Under the most auspicious circum-
stances, such a comprehensive tax
program could not be completed
for some time.
Delay Would Be Costly.
In the present situation, however,
speed is of the escence and delay
would be costly.
I recommend that, as an interim
revenue measure, action should be
taken Immediately to revise and
enact the tax bill now pending
before your committee, so as to
increase tax collections substanti-
ally for the taxable year 1850.
Specifically, I suggest that, the
revenue-raising provisions of the
pending bill be retained and sup
plemented by increases in the cor
porate and individual income tax
rates. This could be done without
interfering in any way with the de-
velopment of a more comprehensive
revenue program as soon as prac-
ticable.
Three adjustments would be re-
quired in the pending bill:
First, to eliminate the excise tax
reductions and other losing
provisions, but retain the loophole-
closing, dividend Withholding and life
insurance company provisions.

By the Associated Press

AIKEN, S. c., July 26.-An Au-
gusta (GaO theater owner has
filed a 100000 antitrust suit
against eight major film compa-
nieS.
Jacob BogoSlawsky, operator of
the Lakeview Theater, a residen-
tial theater in Augusta, charged
that for nine years the companies
have conspired to control dis
tribution of films in Augusta in
violation of the antitrust laws of
the United States"
The suit, filed yesterday in Fed
eral District Court for the East
ern district of South Carolina,
lists the film companies as Para
mount, Warmers, Loew's, Inc,
Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia,
Universal, United Artists and
RKO.
Mr.. Bogoslawsky wants damages
of $208,477.42, which, under regu-
lations governing antitrust suits.
would be tripled to take care of
his claim and court costs if he is
successful in his suit.

transmit further recommendation
to the Congress concerning a more
comprehensive tax program when
we have additional information on
the extent of our needs.
I am grateful for your co-opera-
ton in working out arrangements
for the prompt consideration of
these interim proposals. I earnestly
hope that they will be favorably
acted upon by the Congress at an
early date.
I am sending a copy of this letter
to the chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House Of
Representatives, who, as you know,
participated in working out the pro-
cedure for prompt action recon-
mended in this letter.

the present notch" rate, which
bears heavily on smaller corpora
tions. This will moderate the effect
of increased rates on business in
centives.
Prompt Legislation Vital
I believe that prompt interim
legislation along these lines will
provide tangible evidence of our de-
termination to conduct our ma
tional finances in a sound manner,
consistent with the national effort
we are required to make. It will
also be major step toward prevent
ing imitation during the time neces-
sary to develop a carefully balanced
tax program suited to our longer
range requirements. I expect to
