 TAX DEDUCTIONS
Treasury Dept. Provision of Limi-

Washington, May .. - \ treasury provision in the revenue bill limiting tax deductions in relation to income from tax exempt securities was re- Jected today by the senate 31 to S6.
 The. proposal was bitterly assailed as an indirect levy on tax free federal, state and municipal bonds while it's proponents argued it would bring in ss5,000,000 additional revenue annn- ally by checking tax eyasions by hold CTS of large incomes.
 Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, in a speech shortly after the session began, declared that there is no use arguing this tax proposition with only nine or 10 senators present.
 Recalling two roll calls were neces- sary to get a quorum when the sen ate sought to conN enc an hour ahead of regular time, Senator 1srcd deciar- ed the senators seemed 10 have al most immediately adjourned one by one"
 Senator Simmons. North Carolina, said attendance was required Of sen- ators at the committee meetings dur ing the morning hours.
 Acceptance of the treasury eNemp- tion proposal, Senator Reed argued. would amount to a repudiation by the government of its contract for tax free bonds
 .I see nothing in this proposal, he said, hut an attempt to take away the immunity from these tax exempt bonds. If that were done the govern ment would breach its faith with its people,
 Senator Reed also turned upon Sec retary Mellon.
 Our secretary of thc treasiry," he said, ''is thinlin. more about his own fortune. and those of his associates when he writes Il tax h,ll than of the best interests Of Athe whole country.
