TAX BILL PARLEY
RESULTS SECRET
Harrison Declines to Reveal
Action, but Virtual Re-
writing Is Hinted.
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Behind a wall of secrecy, the Senate
Finance Committee wrestled for two
hours this morning with the admins
tration tax bill, but declined to re-
veal the result, if any, of their ex-
ecutive consideration.
Declaring the committee had voted
against issuing any statements on
consideration, Chairman Harrison re-
fused to make any statement when
the committee recessed at noon.
Indirectly, however, it was learned
that new schedules of rates for lone
or more major provisions of the neas-
ure had been requested of Treasury
officials thus indicating the possibility
of virtually complete rewriting OF the
measure from the form approved by
the House.
1t also was learned indirectly that
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, of
Wisconsin, supported by one or two
other of the so-called liberal mem
bers of the committee, had remained
insistent on revising the measure in
such a way as to broaden its applca
ton and raise greater revenue.
Attendance Increases.
The presence of a nearly full COM
mittee, in contrast to the few who
had been regular in attendance at
hearings, bore out early predictions
that the regular Democratic members
of the committee would have some
trouble in holding the group in line
TO support the administration pro-
gram. Most of those who attended
today for the first time are among
the group who might be expected to
follow administration leadership.
On recess of this mornings ses-
sion, Senator Harrison, looking some
what haraSSed, announced that a Sec
ond meeting will be held this after
noon at 4 o'clock. Further meetings
will be held again tomorrow, he said,
with the committee objective still be-
ing to report the measure to the
Senate by Monday morning.
Republican members of the COM
mittee, bound by the decision to reveal
none of the committee deliberations
in advance, locked considerably more
pleased at the trend of events than
did the chairman. Senator Hastings
of Delaware. one of the minority lead
ers, declined to comment on the meet
ing, but laughed heartily as reporters
quizzed Harrison. and made the re-

Long Suggests Change.
An indication that Senator Long.
Democrat, of Louisiana may carry to
the Senate floor a fight to include the
$4,000 100000 Frazier-L -Lemke farm
debt refinancing proposal in the pend
ing administration tax legislation was
given this afternoon by the Louisi-
anan.
He asked in the Senate if his under
standing was correct that amend
nlents were to be banned during con-
sideration of the tax bill.
On explanations of Senators Bark
ley Of Kentucky and Glass Of Virginia
that such is not the case, but that it
is the hope Of administration lead
ers to prevent eXtraneous riders from
being attached to the measurei Long
called attention to the Frazier -Lemke
bill.
Il think" he said, 1T would be
very appropriate to add this proposal
to the tax bill"
The Senator made no further ref
erence at that time to his intentions,
proceeding from there to discuss the
pending Government contract bill.
