March 22 A Republican member of the tax- writing House ways and means committee said today it will bej mid-May before Congress knows whether a tax increase will be nee essary. Rep.

Byrnes (R-Wis.) said Hint by that time "we should begin to get a good picture of just what revenues We are going to need to keep from going in the red." "And," Byrnes added, "if it is shown we will have to raise taxes to keep from going in the then we will have to do just that. We cannot operate the federal government on a deficit financing basis." By mid-May, most of the appropriation bills to carry the government through the year starting July 1 will have been introduced, Byrnes said. In addition, he. said, it should be known by then whether Congress is likely to enact new legislation that would require expenditures. He said he opposes the recommendation by President Tniman for a $4 billion tax increase.

"The administration should take a look at the financial picture right now and to keep expenses down so there is no need of an increase in the tax load," Byrnes said. "It is a terrific job to find sources of revenue that would not jeopardize the economy of the country. "The administration should recognize that the economic picture is very close to balance between a recession and expansion. Any tax measure now might tip it over." Me said that, while opposed to continue present excise taxes oh the sO-called luxury goods, such as hand-bags, jewelry and'so on, he would not vote to reduce them unless an alternative is proposed to bring in revenues to make up the loss.
