the bulky measure.
Members said they hoped to bring
the bill before the House early next
week. Democratic Leader Rayburn
said debate should require three or
four days.
"A l5-to-l0 vote against eliminate ting
a special surtax on family-owned or
closely-held corporations paved the
way for committee agreement on the
legislation yesterday.
Minor Revisions Possible.
Bill drafting experts went to work
at once to put into legislative
phraseology the amendments approved
by the committee. Representative
Vinson, Democrat, Of Kentucky, said
minor revisions might be made later.
Several amendments already ap-
proved involved the levy on closely
held corporations. The changes were
designed to meet criticism that the
tax, in seeking to penalize firms that
might be used for tax avoidance,
would hurt legitimate business enter
prises. Corporations having net in
comes up to $4,000 will be exempted
One committee member who con-
sistently has battled the levy on
closely-held corporations, Representa-
tive Lamneck, Democrat, of Ohio. said
in a radio address last night that 1T
is almost sure to handicap, possibly
will cripple. and admittedly is intended
to punish one Of the most useful and
important groups Of business eenter-
prises in this country"
The amendments written into the
334-page bill, Mr.. Vinson said, should
not lower Government revenue below
the amount now received.
Tax on Commodity Futures.
One change adopted yesterday would
cut from to l cent per 500 the
tax on commodity futures and elimi.
nate the exemption now granted

the bill also were approved, Vinson
To exempt organizations which

To repeal the excise tax Of 4 half

and 2 cents per 1000 on wood stick

To leave the excise tax on imported

To retain the excise tax on brewers
