Senate Amendments for Publicity

1t was indicated that among the
real stumbling blocks are the Senate
amendments for publicity of tax re

House leaders privately predicted to-
day this amendment would be turned
down by the Conferees.
Agree to Inspection.
Both the House and the Senate
finance committee. however. agreed
to open the tax returns to inspection
by certain congressional committees
empowered by resolutions.
Denouncing the Senate amendment
which would allow inspection of re-
turns under rules applying to other
public documents, Secretary Hoover
declared .it will enable strong com
petitors to take advantage of tenn

Apparently the biggest snag facing
the confereeS, however, is the Senate
amendment proposing TO lower the
fiat tax on corporations from l22
to 3 per cent. and impose in addition
a graduated scale of rates on undis-
trlbuted profits.
