Washington, January 23.
President Truman sent a special message to Con- gress today calling for a cut in oxcise lovios, closing of tax loopholes and a $1,000,000,000 increase in taxes in corporations, estates and big gifts.
He did not say how much reduction should be made on excise toxes, but he said that cuts are most urgently needed in taxes on freight, railway and bus tickets, long distance tele- phone and telegraph bills and the entire group of retail excises including such items as toilet preparations, luggage and handbags.
