 Excess cost of repairs, ranging as high as '250 per cent above the list price," Commander Gatewocd said. were working a serious handicap to the successful competition of an Am erican merchant marine with foreign flag vessels. He appealed for coop eration of the shipowners in efforts of his department to bring these prices down to reasonable" figures.
 Commander Gatewood spoke at d luncheon of American shipowners at which Frederick A. Thompson. recent " appointed vice chairman of the shipping board, was guest Thomp- sen spoke in support of. Commander Gatewood's plan and said he had the full support of the board. and no in- fluence. direct or indirect is going to altar that position"
 Detailing some of the alleged ex- cessive costs which he had investi- gated Commander Gatewood said that the present monthly bill of re- pairs of American ships amounted tc about S6,50O0OO. This amount. he said. was 1000 900 in excess of what it should be

 Under the revised income surtaX schedule proposed, Kahn estimated the government would derive between $S5O ,Oo0 ,008 and $1,O00,000,O0O. Cues toined as to rates for the reduced sur tay, Kahn said that present surtax rates were driving rich investors to place their money in tax exempt se- curities. most of which. he declared, were sold on basis to yield 1-2 per cent. It was, tn 'refOre, his belief, he said, that by fixing the surtax charge lat or near B 1-3 per cent as maxi mum the treasury would receive as great a yield, if not greater, than un- der the present tax.
 To complete his program of revi- sion. Kahn urged changes in certain of the internal and excise taxes by increasing some and reducing others, but collectively so arranged as to pro- duce annually approximately S1,009, 0O0 coo
 Kahn told the committee he saw no economic objection to tax on undis- tributed corporation profits. He added that income surtaxes should be continued as an economic and social principle and that the taxation of cor poration profits. whether divided or undivided. was closely akin to in- come taxes.
