COMMITTEE STILL ] IS PLUGGING AWAY {.
 ON TAX HEARINGS.
Estimated Two Weeks Are Needed to Draft Bill After Final Recommendations
 Have Been Presented
By Associated Press

Washington, July 2l--hopes of ad- ministration leaders that the tax re- vision bill can be put through the House in time for recess of Congress by mid-August apparently found lit- tie reflection today in the House ways and means committee, which plugged away at public hearings on the measure with two days more allotted to witnesses,
 Chairman Fordney estimated that two weeks would be required for the drafting of the bill after treasury and internal revenue bureau experts have presented their final recon mendations at executive sessions planned for two days of next week. Under this programme the measure would reach the House about tho middle of next month
 Some leaders hope to put the bill through in few days after it's for maj presentation. but plans for hand ling it in the House have not been heen fully shaped up. The gener al procedure is expected by commit tee members to be similar to that adopted with relation to the Ford ney tariff bill--s republican caucus to consider the measure and the adoption by the House Of rule to, limit debate and shut off general amendments.
 Few New Suggestions
 Few new suggestions on tax re- vision have been offered by witnesses appearing during the two days of public hearings, leaving the admin istration plan as principal recom- mendation before the committee. This contemplates.
 Repeal of the excess tax and mak- ing good the loss of revenue by modified tax on corporate profits or a flat additional income tax upon corporations and the repeal of the ex- isting $2,000 exemption applicable to corporations. to yield an aggregate revenue of from s400, ,000 900 to $500 000.000 annually
 Readjustment of the income tax rates to maximum combined nor- nal and sur tax of 40 per cent, and the imposition of sufficient new or additional taxes to bring the total revenue up to st,000,00o, 900 a year
 The suggestion put forward thai first class postage rates be increased to three cents got into the committee hearing today without indication, however that it had been given se- rious consideration by the memb bers. Postmaster General Hays estimate ; that restoration of three cent letter postage would yield between s75. 000,- 900 and ss0,000,00o annually and he said today that department studies were being instituted on which a report aud Instrumentation would be given the committee

It Is announced today that in an especially pointed communication he has given Russia notice that the United States will not move towards relieveing the famine of Russia un- til American prisoners are released. He is prepared, in the event of the failure of this communication, to take still more drastic action, Re- garding this latter contingency, nothing in detail is divulged.
 The present attitude of the state department grew out of correspon- dence between the secretary and time finally came when the secretary thought it wisest to submit nothing further In writing, So he requested the senator to call at the state. war and navy building. There the stua- ton was thoroughly discussed, Tuesday with the result that the secretary agreed to send his vigorous expression to Russia Following the consultation, Senator Underwood de- cined to make a statement for fear that untimely utterance would jeop- ardize the lives of the prisoners. Fol lowing the announcement of the sending of the letter by the secre- tary this afternoon, Senator Under wood said:
 "I have great hope that the
 communication of the secretary
 will secure the release of kiI-
 patrick and other American
 prisoners. Should 1t fall, how
 ever, 1t is my understanding that
 the secretary will take still
 further and even more positive
 step."
 He did not express an opinion as to what form the further step would assume.
