By Cecil Holland

President Truman today asked
Congress to increase taxes by $40
billion annually "as rapidly as
possible" and later provide addi-
tional revenue to keep the coun-
try's defense program ION a pay
aS-We-go basis"
q, In a message to Congress- MI.
Truman proposed:
l. A 81 billion increase in indi-
vidual income taxes to which "all
taxpayers must contribute"
2. A SO billion increase in cor
poration income taxes.
3. A SO billion increase in excise
taxes to be concentrated upon

payers for the present. Although
the exemption was $500 during
World War II, the President said
the present allowance is less gen.

Says Freedom Cost Is High.
Mr.. Truman re-emphasized his
~
fense program on a pay-as-you-
go basis and said the average
citizen would be best served by
fair tax laws which will balance
the budget
The American people" he
added, understand that the cost
of freedom is high at a time when
aggression is loosed on the world"
The increases asked by the
President would bring the Fed
eral revenue to a record total of
S64 billion-or nearly a third
more than highest World War II
collection of S43 billion in 1945.
The President has submitted a
S71.6 billion budget to Congress /
for the fiscal year starting next |
July l. 1t is the understanding
in Congress that his later request |.
for additional taxes would seek
revenue to bring the budget into
balance with receipts.
Snyder Will Give Details.
Mr.. Truman left details of the
proposed $40 billion tax program
to be explained by Secretary of
the Treasury Snyder at hearings
before the House Ways and Means .
Committee starting Monday.
It has been reported that Mr..
Snyder will propose an increase
of 4 percentage points on indi-
vidual income tax rates of all
brackets to bring in the 81 billion
sought from this source by the
presidential program. Present
rates are expected to yield a record
$50 billion in the next fiscal year.
Corporation rates, now At per
cent, may be raised to SIS per cent
under the new program.
The President did not specify
any rates in his tax message nor
suggest the selected excise taxes
which should be increased. In
formed sources say the admins
tration plans to ask for substantial
increases in the levies on whisky,
wine, beer and many luxury items.
Urges Closing Loopholes.
In addition to the specific in
