Fight Is Carried On
BY MARSHALL MNEIL
Times StsH Writer

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Re-
fusing to be pacif1ed by exemptions
which neither reduce the total sales
tax drastically, nor affect the prin-
ciple involved, opponents Of this
levy on consumers were ready to-
day to push their fight to the limit.
Meanwhile, two members of the
house are endeavoring to draft
amendments changing, or killing,
the special leniency provision of the
estate tax law proposed by the ways
and means committee
This provision permits estates of
persons who died within the last
three years to be devaluated. thus
escaping effects of the depression
a privilege not granted income or
property taxpayers. Among estates
said to benefit by this new provision
are those of several large con-
tributors to Democratic and Repub-
lican campaign funds.
Opposed by Catholics
Catholic church opposition to the
sales tax as a consumers levy was
indicated today by the National
Catholic Welfare conference, in a
statement citing the postwar
bishops program of social recon-
struction. This program empha-
sized the value of income and ex-
cess-profits tax to correct bad
distribution" of income and wealth,
and the statement today comment
ed: 1.-THE sales tax reduces the pur-
chasing power of the masses"
Compromises by the frightened
regular leaders appeared at first to
have caused a break in the anti
sales tax forces. But this appar-
emily was mended today.
Unless the parliamentary situa-
ton is changed today by unanimous
consent, it appears that the sales
tax showdown vote may be. delayed
again, maybe until Thursday.
Seek to Curb Privilege
AS the house today resumed regu-
lar reading Of the bill for amend
ment sales tax opponents won sup
port of rTine leading members of the
economic department of Columbia
university This support came in a
telegram from these professors to
Representative La Guardia (Rep.,
N. ", expressing support and SYM
pathy for his general position"
Representatives Ramseyer (Rep.,
Ia) and Swing (Rep., CALI are the
two representatives endeavoring to
curb the privilege granted the large
estates in the new bill. This pro-
vides that estates of persons who
died between Sept. l, 1928, and Jan.
!, 1882. be devaluated as of date
eighteen months after death, in
stead of at the time of death, as
now provided.
1t also provides that refunds may
