Temple,' Jr.) Truman Asks Extra 5 Billion, Blit Congress To Stand Firm WAShABtON MI Prescient Truman called on a reluctant Con gress today to raise more than $5,000,000,000 in new taxes. He said this must be done "very soon” because the “tragic neces sity" of rearmament requires it. Mr. Truman coupled his urgent recommendation with a warning against “torpedoing” the defense program by what he called “false economy.” SAYS HARDSHIPS AHEAD He laid down his bold program in a. 13,000-word annual economic report which disclosed that federal spending will hit a stratospheric $85,000,000,000 to $90,000,000,000 in the next year. And he put the American people on notice that they must prepare to bear some inconveniences and hardships be cause this “is going to be a year of strain.” In unvellng his election-year re ouest for still higher taxes, Mr. Truman did not specifically men tion bigger personal income taxes. But he clearly hinted such.
