Senate Group Votes
Profits Tax Exemption
On Earnings Up 10 S%
Final Action Deferred
To Iron Out Differences
Over Amortizotions
By. the Associated Press.

By.the Associated Press.
The Senate Finance Committee
decided yesterday to exempt cor
poration earnings up to 8 per cent
of invested capital from the pro-
posed excess profits tax.
Chairman Harrison said the
change from the House bill was
made In the interest of simplifica-
ton. The House had voted to ex-
empt profits up to per cent on
the first S500,000 of capital, and up
to 5 per cent on additional capital.
Final committee action on the
measure was deferred until this
week in order to let Defense Com
mission experts and Treasury au-
thoritics iron out conflict over
amortization provisions.
AS they stand now, these pro-
visions would permit corporations
to deduct from their income the
cost of new defense facilities, at
the rate of 20 per cent year over
a five-year period, before figuring
taxes.
9 Agree to Encourage Capital.
Treasury officials agreed to this
In order to encourage private cap
ital to build defense plants, but OBJ
tained House approval of provisions
prohibiting the destruction, conver-
sion, or other use of these facilities
without approval of the War or
Navy Departments. They also asked
that the Government be able to
buy these plants, at cost less the
tax exemptions, at the end of the
f1ve-year period.
William S. Knudsen and other
businessmen serving on the Defense
Commission protested that these
strings would prevent investment
OF private capital and delay efforts
to speed the defense program. They
said all Government interest in
these plants could be protected by
contracts.
Senator Harrison said representa-
tives of both groups would be called
before the Senate committee early
tomorrow because this is so i'm
portant we must hear both sides"
With agreement on these pro-
visions, the Senate committee will
have completed rewriting the House
bill.
Previous Changes Made.
Previously, the committee had:
Fixed the tax at 25 per cent on
excess profits up $4,000, ranging
to so per cent on excess profits
above s500,o00.
Authorized the commissioner of
revenue to adjust hardship or bor-
derline" cases.
Removed a Al per cent punitive
tax" ordered by the House on all
income of corporations using the
average earnings" method of COM
putting excess profits. TN addition
to the invested capital method, the
bill permits an optional method OF
figuring normal profits on the basis
OF average earnings from 1885, 1889
inclusive.)
Raised normal corporate taxes
by 81 per cent.
CThis raised the present taxes on
al corporate income up to $1,000 to
1875 per cent. the $1,000 to $4,000
bracket to 1875 per cent, the $40, 900
to S25, 1000 bracket to 218 and all
above $4,000 to "a per cent?
Levied a special 10 per cent tax
on profits from contracts with this
or foreign governments.
Tax experts estimated that the
Senate version would produce about
S465, ,000,0 900 in the first wear and
above 81 100000 900 annually there
after, compared with S305 900 900
the first year and s700, 900 900 to
S90o,000000 thereafter under the
House bill.

Subdued Swiss Welcome
AWoitinq Former Kinq

BERN, Switzerland, Sept. 7 L4D-
Switzerland, whose sense of hospi-
tality is frequently at odds with Its
anxiety to avoid political complica-
tions, prepared subdued welcome
tonight for the fugitive ex-King
Carol II of Rumania.
Federal authorities announced
that they had granted to the de-
posed monarch the privilege of
temporary stay in this country. They
kept secret the place at which he
will stop.
One report, which could not be
confirmed officially, was that he
would 80 to st .Moritz, where his
brother, Prince Nicholas, has villa.
A special train bearing Carol and a
retinue of eight is due tomorrow.
The precise hour was not disclosed.
Special Precautions Taken.
The police took special precau-
tions for the safety of the former
King, who left Rumania under such
circumstances of extraordinary Sc
crecy as, to suggest that he was
in great fear of his life.
It was understood that Carol had
been given permission to enter this
country only on condition that he
refrain from political activities and
make no political utterances.
Some informed persons thought
it likely that Switzerland would be
but a way station in the exile's
wanderings. 1t was pointed out
that in the brief period since his
hurried abdication yesterday he
could hardly have made any defir
mite plans, and 1t thus was thought
that he might stay here only long
enough for rest.
May Go to Portugal.
The French Riviera and Portugal
were among the places at which it
was suggested he might find eventual
refuge.
One Swiss newspaper reported
that Nine. Magda Lupescu, long.
time friend of the King, was trav-
cling on Carols train, but this was
doubted by informed persons here.
