Treasury Asks Huge Increase (Continued From Pare 1) from $2,872,300,000 to $3,228,000, 000,000. Substantially, the Ad' including excess profits, increased from $2,589,200,000 to $3,347,700, 000; revised excise taxes to be raised from $816,800,000 to $1, changes in estate and gift taxes to produce and removal of "loopholes" to bring in another $601,500,000.

Of most importance to the gen eral public, Morgenthau requested a scale of personal income tax exemptions of $600 for single per sons, $1,200 for married persons, and $300 each for dependents. The present law is $750, $1500 and $400, and the House voted for $500, $1200 and $400. Under its scale of exemptions. the treasury estimated that 26, 900,000 individuals would pay taxes next year, compared with 15,000,000 under present law.

He opposed a new tax of 5 per cent, on freight and ex press voted by the House. The secretary riterated re quests for mandatory joint income tax returns by married couples, repeal of percentage depletion allowances for oil companies, and repeal of income tax exemptions on interest from State and munici pal bonds. He asked for the taxes in the name of the Presi dent's program to hold down the! cost of living. Living Costs at Stake "Taxation," he said, "does more than supply money to ft nance tttfe war.

Wartime taxation also plays an important! part in preventing rapid and continued increases in the cost of liv ing. Ceilings have been placed on prices. This fact may have caused many people to be unduly optimistic about the future of the cost of living. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that if the price ceilings are to be maintained and rap'id and continuous price rises avoided, the pressure of the large and expanding volume of consumer purchasing power on the diminishing supply 1 of goods must be, reduced." I Morgenthau made only slight! reference to the sales tax, which a number of congressmen have urged as a substitute for part of the treasury program. 9 Youths Held For Blackout (Continued From Page 1) by Police Chief Charles E.
