Congress to Start Paring About Jan. 20

WASHINGTON, Jan, 11 (U. PJ). —Harold E. Stassen today joined the G. O. P. attack against President Truman's $37,528,000,000 budget. The avowed candidate for the

Byrd Wants Reductions Some Democratic members declared themselves in support of Mr. Truman's plea to retain present tax rates. Others cautioned a wait-and-see. policy. . Senator Harry PF. Byrd (D. Va.), long-time exponent of government economy, said congress must cut “with a ruthless hand.” Meanwhile, members of the senate civil service committee said two committee-approved economy resolutions would be placed before the senate Monday, One would authorize an investigation into the feasibility of reducing the federal payroll. The other would authorize an inquiry to see whether privately managed cafeterias in government buildings could be taken over by the govern-

» Tax Aids Bootleggers | FEAR OF NEW era of bootlegging and moonshining may be a major factor in what congress does about retaining $9-a-gallon federal tax on liquor, due to drop to $6 July 1 under Mr. Truman's end-of-Hostilities proclamation. Top alcohol revenue people seem convinced that with sugdr and coils and other equipment becoming procurable, $9 tax would invite big-time . bootlegging. Recently the secret service has found some counterfeiting of sugar stamps. However, treasury people say continuing high liquor prices indicate that up to now little illicit whisky is reaching fharket. Airplanes fly low over moonshining country, spotting stills. Seizures totaled 2544 from July to November, mostly small hill-country operators, This situation could change quickly.. Revenue agents say $9 tax gives bootleggeers fat margin under which to operate.
