It demands less exertion than ment on whether he would support an Increase. Without support, any tax increase proposal would face a difficult fight. Major arguments for the tax hike are that the federal deficit, which stood at $9.9 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, might swell pik the $20 billion mark this year, and that without a tax Increase Inflation might again balloon later this year, precipitating another round of high interest rates.

A six per cent surcharge would probably net between $3 billion and $4 billion, leaving the probable 1968 deficit beyond the 1959 record $12.4 billion deficit. It already has stirred a storm of congressional mall, and is unlikely to be popular. Some contend that with the war in Vietnam expected to continue indefinitely, the prospective fiscal 1969 deficit might be larger than that for fiscal 1968, even with a tax Increase. A school of so-called economists" contend the way to produce more revenue is to cut taxes, thereby increasing the tax base. This was the affget of the 1964 and 196S tax cuts.

Any tax reduction probably would take more than a year to begin to have this effect. Meanwhile, the deficit for the current year likely would swell. for third reading.
