WASHINGTON LETTER


Nouanucu from rage ~
Other Democratic leaders insist
ed that the proposed amendment
would destroy state and munich
pal credit. Republican leaders
maintained that legislation was
necessary in order to tax the bill
lions which are now invested in
tax-free securities. The reports
of the majority and minority
members of the House Ways and
Means committee show wide
variance of views on tax meas
ures. The influence Of this split
on the ultimate vote in the House
cannot be mder-estimated, and
Administration leaders are plain
ly worried over the outcome of
the bill. Under the liberalized
House rules it will be possible
for opponents of the bill to offer
drastic amendments from the
floor. Hitherto committee bills
have been generally adopted
without marked change.
