DOughtOn Clarifies
Issues mBillDrafted
by His Committee
Chairman Doughton
! Visits Home Last
!. Week End

WASHINGTON, March 26.-In
explanation of the monster tax bill
that the ways and means committee
of the House is now drafting in COM
pliance with the Presidents mess
age, Chairman Robert L. Doughton
tonight detailed what the committee
proposes to do.
Doughton took the position that
the decision of the Supreme Court
in invalidating the AAA was largely
responsible for the necessity of rails
ing $500, 100000 for the government
to carry on, and added that the pay
ment of the bonus to World war
veterans was another reason.
After concluding his address
Doughton left for his home in
North Carolina.
Says Title Misleading
One of the points Doughton stress
ed was that the proposed surplus
profits taxi was not such a tax in
any sense, saying it was a plan to
tax earnings before they went into
SURPRISES.
Doughton's speech clarified the
somewhat beclouded atmosphere
here as to the proposed taxes to be
added, owing to the fact that the
committee has changed it's views at
times in an effort to increase reve-
nues on an equitable basis.
"The President has suggested and
has asked the Congress to consider
certain types of taxes to meet these
needs and the committee has been
giving very careful study to the
Presidents suggestions and to other
suggestions that are before it," said
Doughton.
Explains WindfalI
'"The Presidents suggestion as to
temporary revenue included the
proposal of 'windfall tax Most of
us know the homely meaning that
attaches to the word It is a legacy
from a distant relative who was all
but forgotten or some prize that he
hadn't thought of winning; it is in
most cases an unearned enrichment.
'The outlawing of the processing
taxes has brought such windfalls-
such unearned enrichment into the
hands of a few corporations and in
dividuals. They are those persons
who, though they had passed the tax
burdens on to others, obtained the
refund of impounded processing
taxes. The total of the revenue the
government lost is about 220,000,000
dollars.
