FORCED SAVINGS FOR TAX HINTED

Treasury May Ask Lower Basic Income Exemptions, Compel Payment.

WASHINGTON, March 14 (U.

P.).—The Treasury may recommend

that Congress lower the basic exemptions on individual income taxes still further and authorize a “forced savings” plan among lower income brackets to insure tax payments when due, officials said today. The Treasury also is expected to seek elimination of the tax-exempt [features of municipal and state [securities—a move that is expected to increase Government revenue about $200,000,000 a year. Treasury officials are studying the fiscal picture in the light of the vast budget for British-aid and our own defense programs and will present its recommendations to Congress sometime after income tax returns for 1940 are in tomorrow. | The new proposals would be effective on taxes due in 1942.

| More Filing Returns Lowering personal exemptions

further would bring millions more | Americans within the scope of the {income tax. For taxes due this week, exemptions were lowered from $1000 to $800 for single persons, and from $2500 to $2000 for married persons. That boosted the number of returns to ve filed from 7,800,000 last year to an estimated 16,000,000 this vear. Only half of those filing returns by tomorrow night will pay any tax, but a further lowering of the exemptions probably would bring the levy to many of the remaining half.
