SmOOt Promises COnsidera-
ton of Measure by Com
mittee April 3

WASHINGTON, March 81 N9 -
With stormy path ahead, the house
$290,000,000 tax reduction bill will be
taken off the shelf by the senate IL
nance committee on April in an at
measure before congress quits prob
ably two months later.
Chairman Smoot of the commit
tee, named the date for consideration
of the measure in the senate today
with the declaration that he had no
doubt there will be- some relief en-
acted this session." AS he spoke, the
treasury was compiling data on the
first income tax returns Of the year
which will have bearing on the eX-
tent of reduction at this session. On
March 10 the treasury had received
$2P0, ,6l0,893 compared with $275,974,-
$50 on that date last year
The administration has given notice
that the $290,000,000 cut voted by the
house was too large and that any
reduction hinged on the prospective
income for this year as indicated in
the fist returns. For this reason
republicans of the committee have in
sisted upon waiting until this time
before considering the bill However,
q. surplus Of $600,000,000 was piled up
by the treasury last year.
Senator Harrison, democrat Of Miss
issippi, asked today that the commit
tee be called together earlier to de-
eide whether hearings are to be held
by the committee. Senator Couzens,
republican of Michigan, demanded
hearings and Senator Smoot said this
decision was up to the committee.
With little more than two months
of life for the session in prospect the
tax bill faces rough passage, with at
tempts already promised to have add
ed to it proposals for revision OF the
tariff and the Jones shipping bill,
which was passed by the senate but
which has not been taken up by the
house.
Coalitions of republican independents
and democrats supported both Of these
propositions in the senate and are ex-
pected to unite in tacking them on
to the tax bill
Commenting on the house bill to-
day, Senator Smoot criticized the
change made in section 22O imposing
penalties for evasion of surtax pay
ments through Incorporation He be-
lieved the new provision was more
complicated than the present law.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
ranking democrat on the committee,
stated he saw no necessity for hear
ings by the committee in lieu of the
hearings held by the house ways and
means committee and the short time
remaining for consideration of revenue
legislation He believed the bill could
be reported out by the committee
within a brief time.

papermen ready to spread it to the
world" Mr.. Fall declared He was
of the belief that such testimony on
his part might be unfair to both
himself and his co-defendant, Harry
S4.Iclair.
WASHINGTON March 81 P-Al-
bert B. Fall, who has maintained a
SphinX-like silence for more than four
years, was asked today by the senate
Teapot Dome committee whether he
now is ready to tell all in connection
with the naval oil leases and the Con-
tinental Trading company.
If the former interior secretary re-
plies in the affirmative, as some re-
ports have indicated he will, sub
committee will leave Immediately for
FL Paso, where he is ill--too i'll, his
physicians say, to come here for trial
with Harry F. Sinclair on April 2 on
a criminal conspiracy charge growing
out of the Teapot Dome lease.
The committee telegraphed to Fall
this evening on the basis Of news

ing he wanted the public to know

ian had told him he had only few
