FIGHT HASTY ACTION

FIGHT HASII ACIlON
Washington, Jan. 28.-P)-The
senate opened consideration of the
tax bill today with opponents of
the measure declaring they would
fight hasty action, even If tax reduc-
tions were delayed beyond March Is
when first income tax payments are
due.
When Chairman Smoot Of the fin
ance committee asked for final &C.
ton by February 10, Senator Norris,
Republican, of Nebraska, expressed
doubt that vote could be taken by
that time. He added he did not see
how it would be possible to get the
bill through in time for reductions
on the March Is payments and sug-
gested that these payments be post
poned until April ] or provision
made for the refunds.
Both of these proposals were de-
clarcd impracticable by Senator
Smoot. He said 2,30O,OOO persons
would be relieved. of all income taxes
by the bill, and that the government
needed -revenue on March Is to meet
5000. .OOO, 900 in short term obliga.
