Increase in U.S. Gov't

income

Washington, July 30, Senator William F. George expects the defence boom t boost Cinvernment income about $5,000,000,000 per year and that Congress will add up- wards of $4,000,000,000 more by tax increase.

If his forecasts are borne cut, Federnt revenues. will soon risc by about $10,000,000,000 over cur- rent tax collections now running about $38,000,000,000 per year,

This would raise Government revenue above the World War II pealt, even before Congress acts on tax proposals expected from President Truman nèxt winter.

Senator George is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee which will до to work on Wednesday on the stop-op $5,000,800,000 war tax programme which Mr. Truman recommended this week. Most of the tax in-

crease would apply to personal and corporation incomes.

Senator George believes his committee will recommend the Lax increase recommended.-- United Press.
