first installment $IO,0OO00O,ooO tax boost.
 The plan calls for $4,OOO,O0O.- GOO increase in individual income taxes, a S3,0OO,OOO.OO0 hike in cor poration income taxes and a $3,- raise In excise (sales) taxes.
 President Truman told Congress last Friday the first round hike will be followed by another re- quest for an increase of about g6,- 500,OO0,OOO later this year.
 Basic Proposals
 Other basic proposals laid before the committee by Secretary of the Treasury Snyder were.
 l. A boost in the capital gains tax from flat 20 per cent to 37 12 per cent. The present tax ap- plies to profits from sale of pro- perty held six months or more. The proposal would require a minimum holding period of one year to Qual- fly for the capital gains tax in place of straight income tax.
 Corporation Tax Increase
 2. Corporation income taxes An increase Of s per eentage points in normal income tax for corpora tions, adding SIS in tax to each $100 of profit.
 This would raise tue rate from D to 3 per cent on corporations with profits below $25,00O, and from 47 to 55 per cent on those with higher profits.
 g. Excise taxes - On autos, lift the rate from to 20 per cent of the manufacturer price to raise $G85,00O,OO0 a year in revenue.
 Other Items Hit
 On refrigerators teleyision sets, radios, photographs, electric, gas and oil appliances, and other consumer durables," raise the tax from 10 per cent to 25 per cent of the manufacturers price, to raise $425,0O0,O0O in revenue.
 On distilled spirits - Raise the rate from $9 to $l2 a gallon (from S1.SO to $40 on a standard fifth of-a-gallon bottle of 100 proof whiskey).
 Gl beer Raise the tax from S2 to SIP a barrel C31 gallonsD. That ohld raise the tax from about 2.5 to 3.S cents on 12-ounce bot tie.
 ai ,alod for an exten- sire plugging of tax "loopholes." This would add an unspecified sum certainly hundreds of millions of dollars each year. and perhaps bill lions, to the 0,0OO.OOO,OOO extra sought from the other tax propos- als

 The program, which would hit the pocketbookS of millions ot tax payers, would nearly triple the ex- else tax on automobiles and more than double the tax on television and radio sets, refrigerators. and other appliances.

The Senate committee has tenta-

FARM PRICES DOWN FOR
sixth MONTH I'm
ROW

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Prices received by farmers as of
August Is slid down for the sixth
consecutive month, while prices paid
continued high. And the lower farm
prices haven't been reflected in low
er retail costs to consumers, accord
ing to the Bureau of Agriculture Eco
Monies. Here are the figures to show
what's happening:
The index of prices received by
farmers on August Is was 298 per
cent of the 1910-14 average, two
points below mid-July, although 25
points above August Is last year.
At the same time the index of prices
paid remained at 282, only one point
below the all-tine peak recorded in
April and May this year, and TT
per cent higher than year ago. This
keeps the parity ratio between prices
received and prices paid at 104, the
same as month before, as we'll as
a year ago.
BAE also says that marketing
charges for farm foods have moved
upward while retail costs have been
relatively unchanged. In June and
July the farmers share of the con-
sumers' dollar spent for farm foods
averaged about 40 cents, the lowest
figure recorded this year. In Febru-
airy, March and April this figure
stood at 81 cents. Most of the re-
auctions stem from the low of 81
cents for the farmers share of the
consumer dollar spent for fruits and
The farmers take was
higher in other commodity groups.
Largest increases were in poultry,
eggs, and meat products.
