HOUSE TAX UNIT

Fair Schedule for Business
Levies Worked Out
vinson Believes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Vinson, Democrat, Of
Kentucky, whose House Tax Subcom-
mittee has worked for months to draft
. fair" schedule for business taxa
tion. said today, u think We have sue
ceeded."
I'VE started out with the idea OF
giving relief to small corporations
and to hardship and inequity cases."
he said. Il thing we'll have a very
splendid bill.
"Of course, 1t won't meet with the
approval of those using corporate de-
vices for evading taxes"
The committee finished its propo-
sails yesterday They cover the whole
Federal tax structure, and admins
tration leaders hope to enact them in
= few weeks.
Major Recommendations.
The major recommendations pro-
vide for complete overhauling of the
undistributed profits and capital gains
taxes. These levies have borne most
Of the criticism that tax statutes have
hurt business.
Some corporations would pay more
taxes, Representative Vinson said.
But In general, he added, the sub
committees new tax system would
grant relief against high rates to 99l2
per cent of the 200, 900 taxpaying cor
porations.
Changes extending benefits to most
corporations would not apply to 500
Or 1000 Arms which Representative
Vinson described as controlled by
few individuals and used by them
as device for evading payment Of
high surtaxes on their personal in
comes.
Dividends to which the surtaxes
would apply are not paid by the corpo-
rations, he said, and profits are piled
up in them and subjected to lower
corporate tax rate.
Deductions Allowed.
Under the subcommittee plan, they
would pay the 16-to-2o per cent un-
distributed taxes applicable to all COM
panies with relatively large incomes.
From the net income remaining after
payment Of those taxes, they could
deduct $40 1000 or 80 per cent, which,
ever was larger On the balance, they
would pay fiat 20 per cent rate.
That would make their payments
only slightly less than those under the
present system OF an 8-to-l5 per cent
normal corporate income tax and a
7-to-27 per cent undistributed profits
tax.
The tax revision program should
comply, Mr.. Vinson said, with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's demand that it result
in no substantial reduction in revenue
The prospective yield, however, has
not been computed definitely.

BLIND STAND OWNERS

by the recent ruling placing news
stands in Government buildings I'M

THE Welfare and Recrea ton As
sociation is a profit making organiza-
tion," Mr.. Toomey stated, "and it
plans to assess all operators of these
stands S per cent of their gross
profits"
At meeting last night of the Sight
less Stand Operators. held at 1903 H
street NV, the blind persons who run
newsstands in various Government
buildings made plans to seek congress
sional action to protect their rights.
Mr.. Toomey also is preparing a brief
to be submitted to Secretary of the
Interior Ickes.
Evening star., 1938-01-07

The bureau made customary inquiries,
as a result of which there was spe-
cial meeting of officials of the Citi-
zens' Permanent Committee
1t seems that the Better Business
Bureau did not take to Mr.. Corbett or
his contract with the committee and
said so in vigorous language. Mrs.
Boyle and Mr. Corbett had failed to
get along so well, anyway, and. every
thing considered, it was decided to
release Mr.. Corbett from his contract.
Fights Attempted Release.
But Mr.. Corbett did not want to be
released from his contract. He liked
1t. He hired lawyer to protect his
interests. The committee contended
the contract was not binding because
1t had not been approved by the board
of trustees of the committee. Mr.. Cor
bett pointed out the committee had
permitted him to proceed under the
terms of the paper, which indicated
the committee recognized it as a con-
tract.

courses of action, including cancella-
tion of the ball. Mr.. Corbett came to
the rescue with an agreement to ac-
cept $3.50 in return for a signed re-
lease under which he agreed to cancel
the contract and to release the COM
mittee and certain others associated
in the promotion work from any fur
ther liability.
Promoter Paid $3.50.
Mr.. Corbett asserted that $3.50
would tend to recompense him for
time, trouble and expense of getting
the ball rolling SO tho Mrs. Boyle
grand conclusion.
So the committee paid Mr.. Corbett
the ,550-partly lunch fund in
received a signed release.
The payment cut deeply into the al
ready burdened cost account. Items
of expense were piling up so rapidly
that some of the ball leaders began
to despair of getting enough profit
out of the sale of tickets to give the
Children's Lunch Fund any benefit
whatever.
There were such items as salaries of
the office staff in the Mayflower head
quarters, more than $500 due Mrs.
Meyer for her historical pageant and
incidental expenses, orchestra hire,
telephone and telegraph charges
(many invitations were sent by wire)
hotel charges for supper and ballroom,
etc.
Social Precedence Error Costly.
Then there was the embarrassing
matter of Mrs. William B. Bankhead's
