Chewing Gum, Jewelry and Films
Removed From War Reuenue Bill

WASHINGTON. May 2S-R tax on
chewing gum, jewelry and motion pic
ture films was removed from the war
revenue measure today by the senate
committee.
Instead of the House rates on manu-
facturers' gross sales of athletic goods,
perfumes. cosmetics, and proprietary
medicines, the committee decided to
keep them as sources of revenue, but
by stamp taxes instead of the five per
cent. gross sales tax. The committee
