SALES TAX NOT
YET LOST, SAY
LEADERS

Belief that the new tax bill will
have to be reopened within one
year to enable the Government to
balance its budget was expressed
yesterday by leaders of both
Houses of Congress.
When this takes place these
congressional fiscal experts believe
the controversial manufacturers
sales tax will be written into the
bill.
The need for added revenue, it
Is held, will spring from two
sources.
First, although various types of
economy" bills are at present be
fore Congress it is doubtful that
the sum total of appropriations
for this Congress will be less than
those of the last. In fact, there
is a well-definet. conviction here
that the appropriations will be
larger.
The second need for reopening
the tax bill will flow from the
fact that the hodge-podge Prov
Sions incorporated in the present
bill are expected to fail to pro
duce the money which it is thought
they would. Thus new sources Of
revenue will have to be found to
finance the operations of the Gov
ernment, it is declared.

Roosevelt, smiling.

platform, the photographers had
been showed off and so lost the
coveted picture. After order had
been restored they posed for five
minutes and after Smith had
spoken they posed again, shaking
hands.

And while no one pretends the
reconciliation has been complete,
and no one doubts that GOODNESS

hands publicly last night, greeted
him cordially as Frank" and
posed for innumerable pictures
