AgpoCiated Press Writer (AP) federal government started (Ing a bigger tax bite out of Amricanfl' paychecks today as thei income surtea recotr.rnoiwwl by President Johnson to help pay for the nam War fiifelly went Into fecf, At! paychecks received from today on must reflect the surcharge through an increased deduction for federal income taxes. The 10 per cent increase is on the federal tax Americans already have been paying, not on their total wages. If $20 had been withheld from each weekly paycheck for federal (axes, for example, $22 will be wltheld beginning today.

All paychecks must account for the Increased withholding to cover the surcharge even if the' money was earned before this week. Only persons in the two lowest Income tax brackets art exempt, President Johnson originally submitted the surcharge to Congress last Aug. 3 and asked for an Oct. 1 effective date for individuals. When Congress failed to act last year, Johnson changed the effective date for individuals to last Apiil 1, a date approved by Congress in the measure finally passed In June.

Because of this retroactive feature, the tax withheld from paychecks won't cover all the money individuals will owe the government by the end of December. The extra 3y months must be paid when Federal income tax returns are filed by next April 15. This will mean smaller, anjfc fewer next and larger payments of additional tax. For calendar 1968 as a whole, the surcharge will represent an overall Increase in taxes of 7.5 per cent since it will be paid for only nine months of the year. The surcharge is scheduled to expire next June 30 but at least one administration official, Under secretary of Commerce Howard J.

Samuels, already has urged its extension to help pay the nation's social legislation costs. That decision will be up to the administration elected in No- vember, and to the new Congress. The tax is intended to help meet the cost of the Vietnam- running more thai? $28 billion a year; to keep President Johnson's Great Society programs rolling; to stem inflation, and to reduce a budget deficit which In the last fiscal year rose to about $25 largest in history. Coupled with the surcharge package is a congressional mandate to the administration to cuf spending by $6 billion. In addition to the surcharge: on indivldials and the new law also speeds up collections of corporate income' taxes and extends the 10 per" cent excise tax on telephone' service and the 7 per cent mam ufacturers excise on biles.
