Senate Finance Committee, said in
an interview here there is little likeli-
hood Of a general revamping of the

There's no reason why business,
from tax standpoint, should become
frightened" the Mississippi Democrat
said last night. There is no sentiment
in Congress, in my opinion, that would
bring about any revamping of the
tax laws that would add burdens to
business.
There is strong sentiment in Con-

hate to see any movement such as the
