WASHINGTON March 28. JJ0 The House faces a grave test as it settles down this week to devise new taxea capable of producing the billion dollar increase needed to put the federal government on a pay-as-it-goes basis. Difficulties of this situation were aggravated when the House fled under pressure from constituents and rejected, the sales iax advocated by. the House leaders. That action has stirred up a demand that Congress rise to its responsibility and balance the budget, no matter how painful the process.

This demand was sounded by the ranking spokesman of bothpartiea President Hoover on the Republican side and Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee. Up te the House They have, with widespread editorial and other support, put it up to the House members who are due this week to consider alternative tax proposals, to preserve the Federal Government's financial lnteg rlty. would constitute a lapse which would immediately reflect seriously on the nation's credit and cause declines not only in its own securities but indirectly in others. A Ways and Means sub-committee worked all Easter Sunday afternoon on substitutes for the rejected $500, 000.000 galea tax and resumed its deliberations this morning. It hopes to have a program In shape for the full committee tomorrow.

Meantime the House had before it today a proposal, for relief of western Irrigation Heavy Auto Tax The sub-committee Is riving most attention to the orlelnal treasury program ealllnr for heavy taxes on automobiles, radios, amusements, bank checks and tobacco, coupled with hlKhef postage rates. Representative LaauardH. Republican, N. co-leader of the coalition which wrecked the sales tax. is pressing his plan for a tax of one-fourth of one per cent on all stock exchange transactions, with an extra one- fourth per cent on short sales.

He claims such a tax would raise more than $150,000,000. The task of Increasing Is doubly difficult not only because of reluctance of Congressmen to vote higher taxes Just before an election; but because of terrific pressure set up by special Interests against which taxes aimed. President Hoover in his recent appeal asked that people and all organizations support and not obstruct Congress in sound efforts to reduce expenditures and adjust taxes.
