Demands 'Frank, And Candid' Study Of Income Tax Washington, Aug. 22 (AP)--With the double objective of averting inflation and finding more war funds, Chairman George (D-Ga) of the Senate Finance committee called today for "frank -and candid" consideration of the individual income tax provisions of the new revenue bill. That will be the flrst matter to come before the committee Monday when it brings two weeks executive consideration of the measure.

As it passed the House, the bill called for $6,271,000,000 more taxes over a full year's operation, including about $2,900,000,000 more from individual income taxpayeis. George implied to newspapermen that individuals might be asked for even larger contributions when he declared that "from the standpoint of the treasury, this is the harvest time, and later on with declining incomes it will be too late "If we are serious about paying for this wai, and checking the rising living cost due to inflation, now is the time for us to act," he said George said there was a possibility the committee might approve some modification of the "pay as you go" income tax collection plan advanced by Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the New York Federal Reserve bank The plan could best be coupled with collection of taxes at the source, he said Government Officials National and state officials are listed for your Governor Robert o.
