Excess Profits Tax
Plan 10 Be Scutled,
Committeeman Think
Ways and Means Group
Ends Hearings on Ways
To Ruise 3I2 Billion

Predictions that the Treasury's
excess profits tax plan would be
sidetracked were made by several
members as the House Ways and
Means Committee concluded five
week hearing on means Of raising
50, 500, 600, 900 additional revenue, and
prepared today for further study.
The Treasury proposed setting 10
per cent of invested capital as the
maximum corporation could earn
without being subjected to an excess
profits levy of SO to IS per cent.
Testimony of witnesses was over
whelmingly against the plan and
many members reported a deluge of
communications voicing opposition.
Most of the protests conferred
around the Treasury proposal to
abandon a present alternative meth
cd Of computing the untaxable
credit for excess profits tax pur-
poses. This alternate permits cor
porations to count as untaxable
normal" profits IS per cent of
their average earnings in 1868

Here are some possible coming de-
velopments:
Airplane parts and accessories
The s5,10O,0O0,O0O spending sched-
uled for the fiscal years 1941 and
1912 may not be enough. The White
House only 48 hours ago asked Con-
gress for So 500, 100000 for additional
aircraft.
2. The $4,000 100000 of o. P. M
scheduled building of naval vessels
planned for the two years ending
July, 1912, may have to be revised in
the light of new specifications born
out of British experience around
Crete.

M.-directed money listed for new
merchant ships during the same two
years and German sinkings of mer-
chant craft double the rate of COM
bined United States-British present
production, sharply broadened ship
building plans may be expected.
4. Two-year expenditures of So
900, o00,O 900 for ordnance may be diff
ficult to- enlarge, but more money
for powder plants, ammunition and
gun factories even now may be
flowing through unrecorded con-
tracts.
S. o. P. M. spending of $780,
100000 for new industrial facilities
may be augmented in the next two
years by 81 ,0OO, 10000 to $4,000, 000,-
