tee. Secretary Mellon yesterday named
representatives to work with the COM
nittee. Democratic members OF the

to discuss the legislation, most %
them appearing in accord with the
program advanced Friday by Repre-
sentative Garner of Texas. ranking
Democrat on the committee. Chair
man Green has called an executive
session of the full committee Tor to-
morrow morning, and the hearings
will be opened in the afternoon.
The position of the Treasury. which
is expected to guide administration
members to great extent, will be
presented to the committee al the
opening of the hearings by Secretary
Mellon Indications have been given
by the Treasury that IL will sanction
reductions amounting to at least
$3.50 900 900 in taxes.
Mr.. Mellon is expected TO favor
cut in the surtaX rate from 40 to 20
per cent and to propose reductions in
the normal rates, now , per cent on
incomes of $4,000 and less, 4 per cent
on incomes between $4,000 and $4,000
and per cent on incomes above
$4,000.
Representative Garner would ap
prove maximum surtax of 25 per

proves that figure Mr.. Garner. how
ever. would inC~ease the exemptions
for single persons from $1,000 TO So.
500 and for married persons from 81
800 to $4,000.
Mr. Green, who will have much to
do with formation of the bill, has not
outlined a concrete plan and has de-
clared he hopes the measure will be
worked out in non-partisan manner
in committee.
