Truman To Seek
Hiqher Taxes

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. T (IN-
S)- President Truman is expect
ed to ask for an estimated ten bill
lion dollar tax increase when con-
gress convenes next month.
Some quarters at Key West an
ticipate the Presidential request
for new revenues to pay for the
nations huge rearmament and
foreign aid programs may even go
to a higher figure.
Presidential ource said today
the President is determined to
seek higher taxes despite the fact
that 1852 is an election year and
members of congress Of both part
les will hardly be in a mood to If
ritate voters through imposition
of heavier tax burdens.
Mr.. Truman IS understood how
ever, to feel it is his duty to in
sist on more federal revenues in
a time Of high prosperity to put
the nations economy on a near as
possible "pay-as-we-go" basis.
The President will point out the
dangers Of further initiation in
herent in the staggering outgo Of
billions for weapons unless taxes
are increased to dry up the re-
sultant increase in industrial and
payroll income.
The President last year asked
for a total Of sixteen billions Of
new taxes, to be imposed IN two
bites = ten billions at first, to
be followed by an additional six
billions.
Congress, after months of
wranglingr over the request, finally
cut it to seven and a half billions.
MI. Truman signed the measure
withan expression Of reluctance"
stating that the sum fell far short
Of urgent needs and that he would
make further recommendations to
congress for higher taxes in Janu-
airy.
