President Roosevelt'S prestige
may be tested in the Senate if the
Senate House conference fails to
effect a compromise agreement.
House members of the confer
ence, it was learned, proposed that
an agreement be sought on all 239
Senate amendments to the tax
bill possible before a report is
made to either house of disagree
ment on major issues.
The Senate then would be called
upon to vote first on the question
of whether it will bow to President
Roosevelt's demand that it accept
the House undistributed profits
tax on corporations earning over
$4,000 a year and the House
graduated capital gains tax.
While Harrison has offered to
go back to the Senate Immediately
for a test vote on Mr.. Roosevelt's
stand, House conferees are not yet
ready to permit the move.

An analysis of the bill as it

not seized upon this factor to add
to his objections.
