new TAX Bill
GIVEN SENATE
BY COMMITTEE
Changes Intended
To Aid Recovery
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

(IN.S.) Carrying high hope
as a measure to free business Of
Stacking taxes and promote ma
tional recovery, the new $780,
100000 revenue bill was reported
to the Senate today by the
Finance Committee.
The committees report was lib
orally punctuated with claims
the measure, if enacted into law
in the present form, will "stimu-
late and encourage business, "
bring more revenue to the Gov
eminent by unfreezing vas
amounts of capital now static be-
cause Of high taxes and cause un'
employment rolls to dwindle.
HOUSE BILL RIPPED UP
Outright repeal Of the corporate
undistributed profits tax, drastic
modification Of the capital gains
levy and relaxation Of taxes be-
lieved to interfere with liquidation
of corporations-thes are high
lights Of the Senate commuters
bill. The Senators ripped TO shreds
the bin as passed by the House.
'The major amendments pro-
posed by the committee" said
the report submitted by Chair
man Pat Harrison CD Of Mis-
sissippi, shave been adopted
with a view of going even
further than the House bill in
an effort to stimulate and en-
courage business.
Under present conditions it
seems of the utmost importance
to bring about greater business
activity and q freer flow Of
capital into productive enter
priSeS.
SEES FEWER JOBLESS
eff this can be done, the num-
Der Of unemployed will rapidly
decrease. Moreover, such a re-
suit is vital to the revenue. High
rates Of income tax are inef.
fective in producing revenue
when there IS very little income
to tax.
eff business goes ahead, and
there is no reason why it should
not go ahead under the provi'
sions Of the bill as reported,
then there will result more tax
able net income. with a conse-
Quent increase in the revenue"

s).-Advancing nationalist troops
menaced loyalist Tortosa today as
they cut by artillery fire the last
road linking Catalonia with the
rest Of Spain.
Seeking a means to halt the
nationalist tide. President Azana,
Of the Spanish government, held
an emergency meeting at Bar
celona with chiefs Of all SPANS
anti-FaScist parties. The session
lasted four hours, after which
Premier Negrin conferred with the
president.

forward against Catalonia and to
ward the Mediterranean Sea. &C

nique nationalist troops far to the

DRIVE ON TORTOSA
Advices from Saragossa said
the Franco troops which pushed
northeast Of Lerida after captur-
ing that Catalonia stronghold are
now lining up along a 25-mile
front preparatory for a drive
against Tortosa, where they al
ready have taken up positions on
the outskirts of the town.
It was claimed, furthermore,
that loyalist losses between March
8 and 81 amounted to 1854 killed
and 1892 taken prisoner.
Nationalist forces in their
march toward the sea destroyed

visions and six brigades, it was
claimed, and also captured "a big

Twenty-Five loyalist tanks, 81
trucks, 14,S74 rifles and 100000
cartridges were captured.
CAPTURE CLAIMED
An earlier broadcast from ma
tionalist headquarters at Seville
claimed TortoSa as well as Nor.
ella had been captured and that
the insurgents had crossed the
River Noguera north of Lerida.
The claim regarding Tortosa,
radioed by Gen. Queipo De Llano,
was not borne out, however, by a
later nationalist communique from
Salamanca, which said the ma
tionalists were still advancing to.
ward Tortosa and expected to en-
counter stronger resistance be-
fore occupying the city.

DEFEAT FoREsEEN

The wrangling was indicative OF
the almost hopeless division be
tween political factions over the
merits Of Blum's demands. In
some quarters it was said Hlum's
defeat during the next four or five
days is virtually a certainty"
Meanwhile an additional 1,70O
metal workers joined the slt-down
strike directed against Blum's
economic program.
ASKS CONTROL
The Blum cabinet risked down.
fall by sending to parliament a
program designed to give Blum
rigid control of French economic
activities in order to finance ma
tionaI defense measures.
Immediately after this plan be.
came known, a barrage of attacks
against Blum was unleashed by
capital and labor spokesman, and
even by government supporters in
the chamber of deputies.
Rejection Of the Blum program
and government by parliament
would mean the doom of the
fourth popular front" govern
ment that ever ruled France, and
Of the second regime headed by
the Socialistic Blum.
SHOWDOWN NEAR
The radical Socialists in the
chamber-a powerful group aft1li-
ated with the leftist coalition
headed by Blum-held a special
meeting to decide its attitude.
The governments program is to
reach the floor of the Chamber
soon. and its rejection would al.
most certainly compel the govern
ment to resign. Such a develop.
ment, it is believed, would be fol-
lowed by formation of a national
concentration" cabinet embracing
all political parties from extreme
right to extreme left.
