Sandland is not a candidate for reelection to the central committee there is scramble on for his place. Leading the race is Alderman Kingston of the fifth ward. He has an excellent chance of winning as the fifth ward will hold the balance of power and will be able to dictate its terms. Town Chairman Palomba is likely to be opposed for reelection to the central committee while Mrs. Eliza beth Coe and Mrs. Lura Dutton may not be opposed for reelection to the central body.

taxes and temporarily continues present corporate excess profits and capital stock levies.
 Chairman Samuel B. Hill, D., Wash, of the tax subcommittee, said i've are not working to the definite end of balancing the budg- ct but we are hopeful that the revenue will approximately balance the ordinary budget"
 The fact the treasury, in reply to questions submitted by full com- mittee Chairman Robert l.. Dough- ton, was unable to clarify the dis pute over yield, left unanswered the question of how close the measure in its present form meets White House revenue demands.
 The president asked that revenue wipe out the $517, ,000, ,000 deficit re- sulting from supreme court invah- dalton of the AAA, permanent new revenues of $120,O00, 900 annually to cover bonus costs and $500, ,00O, 900 to finance the permanent farm pro- gram.
 Committee democrats admitted that, on paper at least, the measure would fall at least $345 ,000. 900 short of the revenue over 8 three year period sought by the president.
 What Bill Means
 The measure calls for:
 l. A graduated tax on undistr1- buted corporate profits to supplant ultimately present corporation tax es.
 3. A 90 per cent tax on income from processing taxes which pro- cessors cannot prove were paid by them and not passed on.
 3. Temporary retention of the capital stock tax until June 90 al half rate and continuance of the excess profits tax for the present taxable year.
 {. A $35. .o0o, 900 refund from taxes imposed on floor stocks under the AAA and refunds in the case oi where processed commodities were sold ko charitable institutions or ex- ported.
 5. A special flat IS per cent tax on earnings of banks and insurance companies, which would be exempt from the new corporate profits rates
 6. A g l-2 per cent rate instead of the graduated profits tax on cor poration earnings used to pay of incurred debts, with certain restric- tons.
 2. A 10 per cent tsx on income received by nonresident aliens from domestic corporations.
 Much Complicated
 Tn the main the measure was one of the most complicated tax bills tC reach Congress in years. The cor porate profits tax is mainly de- signed Ao have corporations pay earnings tn the form of dividends Cd stockholders instead of keeping them for reserve purposes.
