Tax Bill Faces
Third Rewriting
nv A.,oeia.sd Preset

WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-The tax
revision bill now faces It's third re
writing this time by the house and
senate conferees. The measure was
finally passed early today by the
senate 3S to "a at the end Of a con.
tinuous session lasting nearly 16
hours. 1t will be returned to the
house when that body recouyenes
tomorrow and Republican leaders
plan to send It to conference on
Thursday. It may reach the Presi
dent for his approval late in the
month.
Treasury experts say the bill in
its present form would net approx
imately three billion, ESQ million
dollars or 200 million dollars less
than the present law and about the
amount Of revenue which treasury
officers havo said the government
must have. Eventually the bill the
experts assert. wouldireduce the ma
tlon's tax toll by about $50 million
dollars year. While they, un.
doubtedly will make many changes
In the measure, conferees are not
expected to materially alter the to-
tai of revenue.
