plan adopted today by the house
ways and means - committee is
finally agreed upon by the com

In lieu of the bonds, the COM
uittee would have the secretary
issue short term notes. ranging
from one to five years, and would
grant an authorization of $1,000
600 for this purpose.
After extended discussions, the
committee has decided that It
would be unwise and improper to
grant the secretary's request to
extend the unused loan authori-
cation to .o0o.ooo.0oo and to
vest in him the proposed unre-
stricted authority to determine tax
exemptions and interest rates.
Tentative Proposal.
The proposed notes would be diyid

/. Notes Of a low rate of inter
est and not subject 10 any form of
taxation.
?. Notes of a slightly higher rate
of interest and subject only to
state taxation
