ton written into the administration
revenue bill by the senate finance
committee and then stricken out when
house leaders indicated they would
not accept it, was voted 81 to 10 by
the senate tonight when Senator
Underwood offered il as an amend,
ment. Discussion of the amendment
was marked by bitter exchange be-
tween Democratic senators in charge
OF the bill and Senator Underwood
who was Democratic leader of the
house and had a prominent part for
several years, in framing revenue leg
islation.
Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee reminded the Alabama
senator that it was a long standing
senate practice for senators to stanc
by the decision of their party caucus,
and Senator Stone. also member of
the committee, declared Senator
Underwood deserved severe censur1
for his attitude toward the bill
"Is the senate degenerated to a
point where the individual S majors

serve on committees because their
constituents have kept them in the
senate for maay years?" retorted
Senator Underwood.
81 do not recognize the right of any
member to dictate to me. If that be
treason, make the most of it. No man
can question my loyalty to the Demo
cratic party, in victory or defeat"
The amendment, which would have
lowered the exemption by $1,000,
making the normal income tax apply
to incomes of $4,000 for married and
$4,000 for unmarried persons received
the support of only five Democratic
senators. They were Bankhead,
Hardwick, Lane, O'Gorman and
Underwood.
