DOLLAR IS BEING
TEMPORARILY
STABILIZED
Gold Price Remains at $34,01
For 14th Day; Dollars
Value Stays at 81 Cents
GOLD P2
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Although the Administration in
siSts there is to be no sterilization
of the dollar now or in the near
future, it became apparent today
that the dollar for all practical
purposes has been temporarily
stabilized at its present level Of
about 81 cents.
For the fourteenth consecutive
business day, there was no change
in the r. F. C.'s price of gold to-
day. The monotonouS figure of
$34.01 emerged from the Treasury
as usual, and, also as usual, with
out explanation for the reason
thereof.
$5O,OOO,OOO Used Up
Some light was thrown, how
ever, on the operations to date by
the disclosure that the R. F. C.'s
initial fund of $50,000,00O has
been exhausted by purchases in
the domestic and foreign gold
markets, and that another $685.
UUU,UUU mas been Set aside Tor tus
ture operations.
Of this $50. 200, 900, approximate
ly $4,000, 900 has been expended
in buying newly mined domestic
gold, and about $35 900, 900 in the
world market.
Middle-Of-ROad Policy
It is understood present pur.
chases. are negligible. Main
flamenco of the $34.01 price, UNI
changed for two weeks, is not cal
culated to entice many offerings.
especially in view of the Admins
tration's position that the price Is
to be boosted still higher.
The 62-cent dollar, which $34.Ol
gold denotes, represents a middle
of-the-road course between those
who are insisting upon further
devaluation to so cents and those
who are agitating for a return to
the gold standard and So-called
sound money"

EXCESS PROFIT
TAX PROPOSAL
REJECTED
House Ways-Means Group Is
Ready to Share Liquor Levy
With Various States
BY International News Service
Proposals for an excess profit

Proposals for an excess profit
tax on corporations, frequently
urged by congressional progress
sives, have been rejected by the
investigating subcommittee of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, it was revealed today at the
hearing on income tax revision.
Chairman Hill CD of Wash
ington, of the subcommittee,
which was appointed to stop the
loopholes in the tax laws, said
the excess profit tax of war days
was the most difficult tax to en-
force ever levied by Congress.
Too Involved
While the committee approved
the principle of the excess profit
tax, he said there we're so many
factors involved that it was al
most impossible to reach fair
tax base.
The statement came while Ros-
well Magill, spokesman for Act
ing Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau, was criticizing the
subcommittee proposal to elimi-
nate consolidated tax returns Of
corporations having many sub
salaries.
MagiIl revealed the temporary
excess profit tax levied in the
National Recovery Act has yielded
practically no revenue.
Magill said the Treasury
thought the elimination Of con-
solidated returns would be a step
backward and might lead to many
evils.
Penalty Urged
Some members of the subcom-
mittee vigorously defended the
proposal to require a separate tax
return for each corporation.
Representative Crowther (R.)
of New York, disclosed that the
subcommittee was not unanimous
on this proposal. He urged in
stead an experimental additional
penalty on the filing of CONSOLE
dated returns.
Acceding to President Roose-
velt's proposal, the committee has
decided to make, the division of
Federal liquor taxes with the
States the basis of it's elaboration
in framing tax policy.
Despite vigorous opposition
within the committee, Admins
tration leaders planned to make
an effort to devise a feasible
scheme to avoid a race for liquor
taxes between the Federal Gov
eminent and the States.
Members of the committee evil
denced surprise at many Of the
conServa tive recommendations
made by Morgenthau and his ex-
pert. While Morgenthau favored
the plugging of loopholes in pres
ent laws and the levying of taxes
on those most able to pay, he
shunted aside some Of the pet
recommendations of the investi-
eating subcommittee.
Estimate Too High
The Treasury emphasized that
care must be taken in the effort
to reach the big tax evaders so
the honest little fellow" will not
be penalized.
The experts explained other
changes would be made in the in
come tax law which will remove
nine-tenths of the source Of the
Morgan partnership losses.
The Treasury's experts consid-
cred the House committees esti-
mate of $27O,OO0, 900 in additional
taxes was "too high"
