Tax Bill Plans Aid to Debtors Senators Consider Treasury Proposals WASHINGTON (U.R) The senate finance committee today considers treasury suggestions for relieving the impact of new war taxes on the taxpayer who is already saddled with greater debt obligations than he can handle. The treasury made the suggestions to the house ways and means committee but the whole problem was dropped on the ground that the committee had finished its work.

Finance Chairman Walter F. George has said since the tax bill reached the senate that some form of debt relief should be incorporated. He disclosed that the committee began discussing the subject late Monday. The committee also expects to receive a report from its subcommittee today on "pay-as-you-earn" tax collection plans. The subcommittee agreed Monday to adopt the plan offered by Beardsley Eurnl, chairman of the New York Federal Reserve bank, to write off 1941 taxes and apply those payments to 1942 taxes.

Debt Relief The treasury stand on relief to debt-ridden taxpayers is: "Many individuals are finding it difficult, if not impossible, to continue amortizing the mortgages on their homes, or to maintain premium payments on life insurance and endowment contracts, or perhaps even payments on installment purchases of automobiles or refrigerators. "An individual who committed himself to an ambitious saving program before he had reason to foresee the high tax rate of the war period and who owns virtually no other marketable assets, has some claim to relief for the time being at least from one or the other of his obligations. "Some corporations face the same difficulty." George announced that the committee had voted Monday to grant sn individual income tax deduction for extraordinary medical expenses. The deduction would be in the amount of medical expenses exceeding 5 per cent of taxable income income after personal exemptions but in no case more than $2,500. It rejected a treasury proposal that children from 18 to 21 attending college be considered dependents.

Exemptions of $1,200 married and $500 single have been approved for civilians. Enlisted service men will get $1,500 married and $750 single. The committee also voted to reduce the exemption for dependents from $400 to $300 and thus increased the revenue yield by $220,000,000. That will ost a married man with two children about $40 if his income is all in the first surtax bracket.

Manchester, Inc. FIVE ing them in public found widespread congressional approval today. But some senators were concerned lest it prevent constructive criticism in some cases. "I would say in a general way that the president's order is justified," said Sen. George W.

Norris, Neb.) But he added: "There is some danger that in some cases it may prevent constructive criticism, which is always to be desired. However it is all right to make the criticism in the first instance to some official head like the president for the purpose of having it harmonized and the truth developed and put into force." Several other senators privately joined Norris in the warning, but said the greater danger lay in public confusion resulting from conflicting statements and interdepartmental rivalries over such things as gasoline rationing and rubber production. Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, "the president's admonition was timely and necessary.

Departmental fights lead to public confusion. If a public official has a legitimate complaint he should carry it to congress and not to the public." Sen. Alexander Wiley "the president's directive letter to his subordinates was up the right alley even though belated. We need more wartime government officials with open minds and closed mouths." Wiley added that he hoped the president would "demobilize the ballyhoo" putting "useless government publicity artists" out of business.
