BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated FTcSS.
A warning Of a possible "break-
down" in income tax payments was
given today by the Committee on Fed
eral Taxation of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States.
The report, with the findings OF
other special ommittees-outSpoke
criticisms of some Government actions
will be acted upon by the chamber
as a whole, which opens its annual
meeting tomorrow.
The business men will be called
upon to vote for an attack on the
securities act. in a report OF the
Committee on Regulation of Securities.
Fear Delay in Recovery.
UNLESS the act is properly modi-
fed" the committee found, there is
little, If any, prospect of the origina-
ton and sale of new and refunding
corporate issues in needed volume.
without the issuance and sale OF
such securities recovery will be de-
layed, if not prevented
The Committee on Federal Taxa
tion. discussing the new legislation
imposing higher income tax rates, as
cooperate unless they believe the tax
fair.
Its report said:
In view of the dependence which
has been placed on it, the breakdown
of the income tax would be disastrous
to the Government from the revenue
standpoint. Danger of such break
down has already appeared"
Encroac achments Attacked.
The Committee on Federal Expen-
ditureS urged that emergency condi-
tionS should not be made an excuse
for Government projects that en-
croach upon private enterprise, and
means should be found for liquidat-
ing any encroaching activities that
have been undertaken"
This committee also added q warn
ing:
Economic recovery cannot be
brought about and maintained by
Government bonuses or loans to in
dividuals, business or agriculture, but
can only result from the employment
OF private resources and energies"
Code Arbitration Urged.
The Trade Association Department
Committees report, discussing N. r..
A. problems, urged that compliance
cases should be turned over to the
Government only after industry ef-
forts to eliminate difficulties have
been exhausted. When separate in
dustries are in conflict they also should
seek to arbitrate, turning to the Gov
ernment only as last resort.
Other committee recommendations
Include:
THE benefits of branch banking
should be examined anew by both the
Federal and the State governments. "
AT present the railroad rate struc-
ture is far from adapted to public
needs for those of the carriers them
selves. Improvements in rate pro-
cedure should be adopted to make
possible prompt adaptation of rates
to requirements"
