low Local Measure to Be
Considered.

Locked in pigeonhole in the House
District Committee, the bill to legal
lie horse racing here under the part
mutuel system will remain there
through the forthcoming special and
regular sessions Of Congress. it was
predicted last night by Chairman
Palmisano.
Reports have reached Mr.. Palmisano
that several race track promoters are
working quietly to force reconsidera-
ton of the measure.
AS far as I'm concerned the racing
bill is dead" he declared.
Doubts Reconsideration.
MIR. Palmisano also said he is doubt
ful if a majority of the members of
the committee would even agree to
reconsider the measure.
Sentiment at the last session
showed conclusively the people of
Washington don't want a race track"
he declared. And I don't think there
has been any change.
ITS my policy to try and give the
people Of Washington, what they want.
1t they really want a race track here
III help them get it. But I'm satis-
ned they don't want it,"
Was Tabled Last Session.
The bill to legalize horse racing
reached the House calendar at the
last session Of Congress, but was re-
called by the District Committee and
tabled. Representative Bates. Repub-
lican. Of Massachusetts, took a leading
part in the fight to have the bill killed.
He not only opposed legalized horse
racing in Washington, but charged the
Dill, which would have permitted
Walter O'Hara. owner of the Narra-
gansett (R. - track. now closed under
martial law, to open another track
at Benning, D. c., was "railroaded"
out OF the committee.
The Senate District Committee has
taken no action on the racing bill.
4 subcommittee headed by Senator
Reynolds, Democrat, of North Carolina
held hearing on 1t two days prior to
the adjournment of Congress and took
1t under advisement."
Even II the Senate passes the bill.

neD tar legislation either at spe-

OF Congress To that end, special
House committee has been study
ing problem during past Ueeks.
BY WILL P. KENNEDY.
The proposal to reduce income tax
exemptions for married men to $1,000
and for single men to $500 probably
will be omitted from the general tax
bill now being considered by a sub
committee Of the House Ways and
Means Committee. it was indicated
yesterday
The public generally has been much
disturbed by reports that the income
tax base might be broadened, since
Senator La Toilette. Progressive, of
Wisconsin served notice that he will
resume q fight for the proposal when
the tax bill reaches the Senate during
the regular session in January.
Both Chairman Vinson of the sub
committee and Representative Tread
way, Republican, of Massachusetts,.
the ranking minority member, said
last night that this has not been
considered by the committee, and Mr..
Treadway said he hardly looks for
it," adding that "the fewer people
who know about the tax bills the
better; such legislation would be like
the sales tax, which hits so many
people the opposition is multiplied
The more you lower the exemption the
more people are hit by the tax"
The politics Of the situation seems
to be that with all members of the
House and one-third of the Senate
coming up for reelection next year,
there is scant likelihood of measure
passing which would subject some
thing like 100000 persons to the in
come tax.
If there is serious intention of bal
ancing the budget and estimated rev.
enues continue to diminish. however,
even this method of raising funds may
be resorted to, it was admitted by
both administration and opposition
members on the tax committee.
Revision of the undistributed profits
tax and Of provisions dealing with
capital gains and losses have been re-
ceiving the attention of the Vinson
subcommittee during the last two days,
and will be resumed tomorrow with
Treasury officials and other experts in
conference with the subcommittee.
Representative Treadway argues
that "the whole underlying principle
Of the undistributed profits tax is
wrong. . It is not designed to raise
revenue, but is admittedly another
New Deal experiment"
Mr. Treadway points out that II
there Is any serious consideration of
balancing the budget, notwithstand-
ing the tremendous anticipated deficit.
there are two very prolific sources Of
revenue, several times referred to by
the Treasury oficials, but which as
yet have not been given complete con-
sideration. They are: D by elimina-
