GROUP AGGRESSION
SIX TAX CHANGES
Levies on Dividends From
Paid-Up Life Insurance
Included in List.
~ the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A congressional tax committee yes
-terday listed taxation Of dividends
from paid-up life insurance policies
as one Of six new revenue law changes
on which it had agreed tentatively.
The alterations decided on were de-
signed chiefly to plug "loopholes" in
existing law or simplify its admins
tration, but Representative Vinson,
Democrat, of Kentucky, chairman Of
the House Ways and Means Subcom-
mittee, engaged on proposals for tax
law revision, said the Governments
total revenue would be affected to
some extent, though the committee
had no exact estimates.
Money Recovered at Law.
A change likely to cost the Treasury
Some revenue would permit business
Arms to deduct from taxable income
the cost of collecting sums included
in their gross income which are COL
lected outside the usual course Of their
business. Mr.. Vinson explained this
would apply to money recovered in
litigation. All the recovery costs, in
Guiding attorneys fees, could be de-
Quoted, provided they did not exceed
so per cent of the amount recovered
and included in gross income.
The committee also agreed tenta-
lively to recommend that corporations
be permitted to deduct contributions
for charity, religion, education and
similar purposes, only in the year they
are paid. Under existing law, he said,
these deductions are possible when
ever commitment is made
Would Prohibit Listing.
A fourth change would prohibit
corporations from listing such contri-
buttons as business expense
The committee agreed to recommend
that deductions by individuals of con-
tributions be limited to gifts made to
American institutions, but Mr. Vinson
said this was not intended to bar the
institutions from spending their funds
abroad.
With reference to gifts in kind
where the actual property or object
involved, rather than its value. is
transferred, the committee tentatively
recommended that the taxpayer base
his deduction on the original cost or
the market value at the time of the
gift, whichever is lower.
