CHANGES IN TAX
 STRUCTURE LOOMS
Senator LOnergan Says Undistributed Profits
 Levy to Be Modified

Washington, D. C., Dec. 7--Tax revision to encourage the flow of capital In business and industry, and legislation to prevent the escape of capital from productive enter prise by providing for tax on fur ther issues of securities now ex- empt, will be definite accomplish ments of Congress before next June,
 This opinion was voiced today by Senator Lonergan td) (Conn), member of the senate finance com mittee which handles the Adminis- tration's tax program, and who also has been leading Senate movement for several years to eliminate tax exempt securities.
 Senator Lonergan said there Is no doubt that the undistributed profits tax will be modified, and he pre- dicted numerous other changes in tax structure, although, he said, he would not make q comment on these, in view of the custom of the House to take original action.
 Senator Lonergan announced that the House Ways and Means sub- committee on taxation had request ed the Senate Judiciary Committee to furnish each of It's members with copies of the hearings on the Loner- gan resolution, proposing a Consti- tutional amendment by which the Federal government and states could tax each others securities.
 The senate commottee report contains opinions of government and private experts on the tax ex- empt problem, and includes a spe- cial report on tax exempt securities drafted by Senator Lonergan and presented to the Senate in 1884.
 Senator Lonergan described the present approach of Congress to the tax program as double barrelled." Capital should be encouraged to flow into industrial enterprise" Sen- ator Lonergan said. "and at the same time the usual retreats should be cut off to those who would hold out on the use of their capital even If given the opportunity to use 1t profitably. The most attractive re- treat is in tax exempt securities, which not only has enabled capital to take the easy road, but has eIl- couraged extrayagant spending by federal and local governments. Of all the objections to tax exempt se- curIties, one of the most serious B that when man invests his wealth in such securities he takes from useful business enterprise not only his money, but his personal ability and experience. He retires with his money and leaves less experienced men to carry on."
