Suppose Congress should try
to raise enough taxes to cover
the Governments expenditures
without a deficit.
What could be taxed next?
You might think that big in
comes offer the best possibility.
But the United States Chamber
of Commerce says in a new study
there are simply not enough
rich people"
The Chamber says in it's study
that the only big pool of tax
able personal income left lies in
. the $2.0O0-and-under bracket.
Not Just the Rich
However, in its monthly pub
lication Economic Intelligence.
the Chamber says to-day every
one pays heavy taxes-not just
the rich" That seems to leave
a question whether, in the
Chambers opinion, income taxes
can be raised appreciably at
all. At any rate, Congress is
not likely to do so this year.
Cts election year,
The new Chamber of Com
merce study says that if WASH
ington took all taxable income
left from incomes of $4,000 and
up, right through the Million
aire class, it would raise only
$9.7 billion.
The deficit next year would
be $11 billion if President Tru-
man were to get Congress to
approve his plan to spend $85
billion in the IL months start
ing this July /. Congress. how
ever, shows every inclination to
cut Mr.. Truman's figure sub
stantially.
If Washington should take all
the taxable income left among
people who earn $4,000 and up
a year, it would get only $210
million, the report says, but
in taxable income under $4,000
lies a pool of $50.l60, 900. 900.
Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder testified to this effect
last year before the House Ways
and Means committee. His data
has now been analyzed by the
Chamber of Commerce and pub
lished in apamphlet called
How Much Can Our Economy
Stand?"
Mr.. Snyder presented the fig
ures when President Truman
asked for $40 billion in new
taxes. Congress took a look at
the figures and voted $50 bill

The joint board also may

Such law would give the

right to prohibit the use OF

transcripts of congressional
hearings disclose charges that
large sums of money were spent
in pressing the tidelandS oil
campaign. An Office - still
functioning-was set up in
Washington. The attorneys gen.
eral, through their State legis-
latures, probably have been able
to bring some measure of pres
sure on members of Congress.
But the actual existence Of an
"oil lobby" in the Capital re-
mains to be proved.
Many members of Congress,
whose States have no tidelands
oil and very little water Of any
kind, are supporting the bill.
This is because they see a
dangerous precedent in Federal
control of marginal waters.
They fear an extension Of
Federal powers into inland rivers
and lakes. To them, the issue
is cutting across the line Of
States rights.
Pessimism All Around
Oddly, Senate supporters of
the bill and their opponents
both are somewhat peSsimistic
about how the vote on overriding
the veto will come out. Neither
side will venture a fiat predic-
ton of victory, but many in the
anti-veto camp see some mea-
sure of success in having re-
tained all members who origi-
nally voted for the bill. They
also think Mr.. Truman injured
his cause tremendously in his
blistering attack on the mea-
sure before he vetoed it 10 days
ago.
Fortunately for the admini-
stration, the bill was introduced
first in the Senate. That means
action on the veto in that
chamber before the House gets
a chance to vote. If the bill were
to go to the House first. it prob
ably would pass easily there and
generate a ground swell that
might be harder for the Senate
to buck. The House passed the
original bill in a breeze. 247 to

Americas new emergency air
mobilization plan is ready for
operation if large-scale war
should come tomorrow. It will
eliminate many Of the mis-
takes made in the hurry-up
days just after World War II
started.
Basically, the plan and its
implementaeion incorporate two
main phases. One involves de-
fense of this country against
enemy air invasion. The other
would augment existing airlift
capacities.
The scheme was devised by
the Joint Civil AeronauticS Ad-
ministration-U. S. A. F. Air De-
tense Planning Board. The De-
partment of Defense also had a
hand in it. Department OF the
Navy representatives serve in
an advisory capacity. The joint
board meets every few months
to improve it's blueprint, wher-
ever possible.
CiviIion Part
! One of the Boards jobs has
been to study the place of civil
aviation in the overall defense
effort during mobilization or
total war. This includes pre-
pairing for the integration OF
communication and air tratt1c
control systems. These prob
lens have been borne in mind
during several air defense exer-
cises which have taken place.
In such drills the board has
tried to use as little air space
as possible. thus allowing the
maximum for commercial and
civil aircraft. The Board seeks
to abide by this principle at all
times.
A master plan for the smooth
fiow of necessary air traffic dur
ing q military emergency, and
for the early detection Of enemy
flights, has been accepted by
the commercial carriers.
One of the principal develop
ments has been the inaugura-
ton of Air Defense Identifica-
ton Zones. At present these
cover a good part of the North
eastern United States and the
eastern coaStline as far south
as South Carolina. Their opera
ton at present carries certain
restrictions which would be
greatly increased in advent OF
an emergency. The system in
cludes volunteer spoilers on the

radar.

The magic for the tax COLI
lector in the low income bracket
is that there are so many people
in it. Each mans tax increase
would be little, but the total
take would be large.
The Chamber of Commerce
points out that, according to it's
table. in the brackets over $4,000
all personal income left after
payment of present taxes adds
up to only $9.7 billion less than
the expected. deficit. "All the
personal income after present
taxes in the tax brackets Of
$4,000 and above amounts to
$6.5 billion. only q fraction more
than President Truman's re-
quest for foreign military aid In
1882" the report adds.
"And surely" it says, mo one
would advocate taking 100 per
cent of the taxable income in
these brackets"
How Hord They Hit
Another way to look at the
tax picture is to take the total
income of individual Americans
and see how hard all taxes are
already hitting them-the Fed
eral income tax. all hidden taxes
and State and local taxes.
Such an analysis by Prof.
Richard Musgrave of the Uni
versity of Michigan and DR..
Rufus S. Tucker. economist for
the General Motors Corp, was
published by the Chamber in
Economic Intelligence. 1t con-
tains this table: -

Specifically. the rumors pro-
claim that this turf has an
unusually rich color, which
won't fade in the summer heat:
that it is affected almost not at
all by seasonal changes or ex-
ceSsive rain; that it is amazingly
springy to walk on, rather like
an expensive deep-plush carpet;
that it crowds out crabgrasS and
laughs outright at turf-deStruc-
tive insects; that it doesn't need
topSoil, being quite content with
ordinary subSoil, even if it is
clay; that it can be moved to
almost any desired height; that
it is so strong that two men
tried to pull a square of it apart
on a TV program and failed;
that 1t is practically divot-proof

it Is, or will be, so cheap you'll

it.

Finally the reporter, exhaust
