WASHINGTON--Federal taxes should be increased next year sufficiently to balance non-defense government expenditures, Chairman Robert L. Doughton of the House Ways and Means Committee, said today after conferring with President Roosevelt.
Doughton conceded that huge defense expenditures could not be put on a pay-as-you-go basis, but he urged that every effort be made to cut other outlays and meet them with now levies. He added that a new tax bill would be offered to the next Congress when it convenes in January.
