served during the conference and a
general set of instructions for the
delegation as the representative of
the executive.

Hint of Rocks Ahead
in Progress Of Tax
Compromise Program

Washington, oct. 1.-THE Repub-
lican compromise tax revision pro-
gram was started on its way through
the Senate today with the adoption
without Il dissenting vote or record
vote of an amendment proposing re-
peal on next January Of the trans
portation taxes on freight paSSen-
gers, pullman accommodations, eX
press packages and oil by pipe line.
There were increasing. evidences,
however. both on the floor of the
Senate and behind the scenes that
some of the other compromise pro-
posals would not find as easy sail
ing Replying to an inquiry from
the Democratic side, Senator Nc
Cumber, North Dakota, temporarily
in charge of the revenue bill, an
nounced that the compromise
amendments would not be offered on
behalf of the full Republican mem
bership of the finance committee.
that he was against some of them
and that he and other committee
men reserved the right to oppose
them.
Eastern senators We're ready to
wage war on the compromise
amendment to retain the corporation
capital stock tax, but sponsors of the
new tax program were consistent
that this not only would be put
through the Senate but that it would
be retained in conference.
Democrats generally were expected
to support the sur tax, estate tax
capital stock tax, corporation eN-
emption repeal and other provisions
of the compromise program. Some
leaders on that side, however,
thought the minority would vote al
most solidly against the completed
bill
Before adopting the transportation
tax repeal amendment, the Senate
voted down, IS to 80. an amendment
! by Senator Trammel, Democrat,
Florida. proposing that the repeal be
, effective ten days after the passage
of the bill. Disposal of these two
amendments constituted practically
all progress made today on the bill
itself.
