will then 60 to conference, where
the Treasury expects to draft it
back into the final form Of the
legislation-and probably will.
THE determination to force
i through a provision which
q majority on both House and
Senate committees believes to
be unfair discrimination against
one-family corporations, has not
been explained.
The Treasury side of the
story is that certain "big fel-
lows" like Henry Ford have
avoided paying high income
surtaxeS, (say so per cent?, by
leaving their earnings in their
corporations and paying around
20 per cent-one-fifth of their
earnings to the Government in
stead of three fifths.
But the Treasury insists it is
not trying to penalize Ford, the
Du Points and other Of its poll
tical opponents, contending, at
the same time, that the third
Sledgehammer will not hit Ford.
The official contention is the
tax will hit only 450 to 1000 cor
porationS by making them pay
80 per cent approximately one
third of their earnings) while
their competitors in business
across the street may pay only
16 to 20 per cent, but the Treas
ury will not disclose the identity
Of those who are to get the
Sledgehammer.
Observation-Disclosures of the
capital gains tax is likely to fol-
low the same course. The strong
modification planned in the
Senate is apt to be eaSed by q
compromise with the milder
House form in the List analysis.

Mr.. Garner, the Vice President,

any debt downscaling at this

he has not employed at the
White House since he raised the
Executive roof (but failed to
move the PreSident) demanding
action against sit-down strikers.
Representative Doughton and
Senator Harrison were behind
him, but apparently quite a dis
tance behind.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not try to
sell the idea very hard, merely
submitting to the congressional
authorities the feeler for a down
ward revision Of the Hungarian
postwar debt. All apparently
well knew that behind the Hun
garian hint was the fine British

This and some other minor
cushions, designed to lift the
sledgehammer from some small
furniture and other dealers. ap-
peared to be sufficient to get
the bill out of committee.
AS a matter of fact, the Treas

was allowed in its original plan,
so it really did not give UP any
more than was originally in

A FEW MORE hooks, and
