CONFEREES MAKE PROGRESS ON WAR
 REVENUE MEASURE
Possibility of Deadlock Over Question of Invested Cap ital' Section Now
 Seems Removed

Washington, September 21.-POssf- and House cOnferees on the war tax bill was believed tonight to have been removed as result of progress made today on the disputed war excess profits section.
 Senator Simmons, heading the Senate conferees, and Representative Kitchin of the House committee, both predicted to- night that a complete agreement eventu- ally would be reached, but protraction of the conference. which began week ago today, into next week seemed certain The conferees tentatively agreed to meet Sunday afternoon to expedite their work and hope to complete their task late Monday
 Taxation of war or excess profits was almost the exclusive subject of today's sessions of the conferees, preceded by a special meeting of the House ways and means committee. Both Senator Sim mons and Representative Kitchin stated tonight that considerable progress was made today toward an agreement on de- lining invested capital" which shall be subject to taxation and exemptions, with the principal dispute remaining over ex- emption of or allowances for intangible assets, including good will, copyright, patent and other inchoate property rights.
 With agreement on these two questions, the conferees believe that the bill will be rapidly concluded under the tenta- tive plan of allowing an exemption of s per cent on invested capital and provid- ing new and probably increased gradu- ated rates super profits Increase in the total tax levy on excess profits also is forecast from the conference room.
 A drastic increase on such profits was urged upon the House conferees today by members of the ways and means com mittee, who were told that big business interests were responsible for some of the Senate insistence upon considering intangible assets as a part of invested capitalization.
