Tax Bill May
 Be Rewritten

Washington, Oct. 7-Majority mem bers of the Senate Finance Commit tee were faced today with the task Df virtually rewriting the major sec tions of the tax bill, reported more than two weeks ago.
 Some details of the compromise re- vision plan tentatively agreed upon by Republican leaders. remain to be worked out, but Senator Penrosef in charge of the tax measure, pred1cat- ed that the perfected bill would be passed next week. Other leaders were less optimistic, however, believ- ing that the fight to come over the sales tax, repeal of the excess profits tax and some other provisions, would prevent final action within that time.
 Those sponsoring the revised pro- gram counted upon it not only to bridge the gap the original bill cauS- ed in the Republican ranks, but also to draw some support from the min ority side. While they had not been advised of the details of all the pro- posed changes, Democratic leaders pointed out that the fifty per cent. maximum sur tax rate, repeal of the transportation taxes and retention of the corporation capital stock tax, formed a major part of the revision Senate early in the week.
 The Democrats have also contended for a repeal of the s2,0O0 exemption allowed corporations. This is un' QerStOOQ to nave Doen lIlCluuSu t1lS Republican compromise program but some opposition has developed, the claim being made that this would work a hardship on the small cor porations. It was to meet this ob- jection that a proposal for a ten per cent. tax on corporations having a net income under S50,O00 a year was ad- vanced.
 The ten per cent. rate is two and one-half per cent. below the mini mum proposed by the Democrats, who however, have urged a maximum rate of 25 per cent. Some finance committee Republicans are opposed to a graduated tax, arguing that II would not yield the required revenue from this source. The Democrats do not aeree as to this and contend that a sliding scale is the better plan.
 The proposal advanced by the ma iority for increased inheritance taxes is new one so far as the Senate IS concerned But Democratic mem bers of the House Ways and Means Committee, urged this action when the original bill was in the making by that committee. A final agree ment by the majority as to increases in this tax apparently remains, to be reached This and other matters, it is said, are to be threshed out at ses- sions of the finance committee Re- publicanS. a--
