cuts made in revenue items by the Sen

day that its conferrees were so uneasy
over this point that they might suggest

1t Is not expected that the House VIII

This was changed in committee to 1 per

II the Senate is unable 10 convince the
House that the increased surtaX will raise

The Senate duty or bananas is another
item slated for attack by the House. The

in revenue from the banana tax. but there
