NEED FOR TAX
BOOST DENIED

WASHINGTON-LP1- The u. S.
Chamber of Commerce declared
today there is no need for a tax
increase this year, but Republi-
can Senators Taft (Ohio) and Mil
likin (Colo.) were skeptical.
There will be a tax BILL" Mil
likin told Ellsworth c. Alvord,
who represented the chamber be-
fort the senate finance committee.
Both Taft and Millikin, men,
bers of the committee, challenged
Alvords argument that federal
spending can be cut enough to
help avert a tax increase.
The committee is considering
the $1,000, 100000 tax hike bill pass
cd by the house, and the admin
istration's request for a larger,
$4,000, 900 increase.
Taft said talk of cutting gov
ernment spending has centered on
the possibility of reducing the S.
500,000,000 in foreign aid the ad-
ministration wants.
The Ohioan said at one point
that only $4,500,000,000 of tn t
amount is slated to be spent dur
ing the current fiscal year. In
view of that, Taft said, cut of
a couple billion dollars in the $8,-
50O,000,000 the administration
wants authorized would save
nothing so far as this fiscal year
is concerned.
Later Taft said the January
budget called for spending $7,100,-
100000 in foreign aid this year.
He said he had just checked and
found that figure now has been
reduced to $2,000,000,000 by the
budget bureau.
Alvord contended there h S
been no cut of that size in t n e
spending estimate. He said part
of the foreign aid funds now is
listed as a defense item and that
the shift is only a bookkeeping
revision.
The council OF state Chambers
of Commerce denounced the house
tax bill as the worst of its kind
in the history of the country"
