Finance Committee Irons Out Several Points in
 Revenue Measure

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.- The Senate Finance Committee has amended the new revenue bill to place a, limitation on the amount of Federal Income and victory taxes which can be collected from any individual at 90 percent of his new taxable income.
 The committee said that this will affect only persons whose tax able incomes are approximately a million dollars annually, since the combined rate of both taxes will not exceed 90 percent of those in the lower brackets.
 Because approximately 43,00o,ooG persons will be required to file fed- eral tax returns under the new bill, the committee acted on the Treas ury's suggestion to eliminate the provision requiring taxpayers to have their returns notariZed.
