Sponsors of the bipartisan coal

effort to strike out the special
20 per cent penalty tax imposed
on the undistributed profits of
family-owned and closely-held cor
porations.
MOVE TO RECOMMIT
Representative Mccormick (D)
Of Massachusetts,, leader Of the
fight against the provision on the
ground it strikes directly at thrift
and growth of small corporations,
proposed q motion to recommit
the bill.
Republican members Of the
Ways and Means Committee, hav-
ing a preferential right to make
the motion before the tax bill
comes to a final vote next week,
planned a special conference Mon
day to reach a decision on the
coalition proposal.
Having already demanded out
right repeal Of the undistributed
profits tax, which the Admins
tration bill revises but does not
repeal, Representative Treadway
(RO Of Massachusetts, was urging
that the test of strength be made
On this levy instead Of on the
"family-owned" provision.
SEEK VOTE WEDNESDAY
Meanwhile, with the House in
recess today, Administration lead
ers drew plans to force a final
vote on the tax measure on
Wednesday.
Chief tests, it appeared, would
be on the undistributed profit tax
revision, the special penalty tax,
revision of the lumber tariff-tax
and in efforts to repeal additional
miscellaneous sales or nuisance"
taxes.
In the Senate, Finance Commit
tee Chairman Pat Harrison of
Mississippi announced he would
call executive sessions a bou t
March is to study the House bill
and hear Treasury experts explain
its provisions.
BRIEF HEARINGS PLANNED
IT believe we will be able to
complete these executive ses-
sions in three days." Harrison
said. "Then we will have brief
public hearings, followed by
executive sessions, to act on pro-
posed amendments"
There was strong sentiment in
the Senate, too. for further re-
vision of the undistributed
profits tax and hostility to the
family or closely held corporations
tax was marked.
A group of Senators. led by
Senator La Toilette PO Of Wis
consin, planned a drive to lower
present income tax exemption on
married persons from $2,500 to
$4,000 and on single persons from
81 900 to $500.
Representative Smell Of New
York, Republican leader. said
comparatively few amendments
will be offered to the House bill.

LITTLE DELAY SEEN

Mr.. Nichols, whose subcommit

he anticipated that redrafting OF
the measure should take no more
than two days.
The Representative said there

Committee at its next meeting on
Wednesday, but indicated it would
probably be better to wait until
the appropriation bill is passed.
On Monday, the subcommittee
will consult with the Joint Con.

ton, a group Of tax experts which
assists members of both Senate
and House in tax matters.
At that time, it is expected thai
the subcommittee will definitely

LOWER DEFICIT
Although the deficit in the ap
preparation bill now awaiting Sen
ate action is $4.70O.000. Repre-
sentative Nichols expressed the
belief that the final measure. after
it comes out of conference, will
contain j deficit somewhere in the
vicinity IL $s.5OO.OOo.

Several foreign journalists, in.

In the genus Hygrophorus, the
