in two weeks, the minimum time in
which it is considered the bill may be
brought to vote.
Aside from the expected fight over
the surtaxes, the democrats have
served notice they will seek lower
normal rates than contained in the
committee bill, while many members
have declared they will offer amend
ments seeking revision of the war
excise taxes, many of which already
have been repealed. Representative
Frear, republican, Wisconsin, has said
he will propose amendments to raise
the estate tax and institute gift
tax.
Representative Frear yesterday
made separate report on the
revenue bill. Although he voted with
the republicans in committee to re-
port the measure he made it clear
that he would not accept the Mellon
income rates. Chairman Green and
two other republicans Of the COM
mittee also voted against these rates
support the Mellon surtax rate.
In his report Mr.. Frear proposed a
fifty per cent cut in the normal in
come rates. rather than the 25 per
cent reduction adopted, and asked
that the present maximum of so per
cent surtax rate be maintained.
This would mean a loss Of $1S4,000,000
in revenue, he said, compared with
the loss Of $92,00O,00O which would
result from the Mellon cut in normal
taxes and $102,00O.000 in surtaxes
