Tax Bill Is Likely
To Throw Out Many
Treasury Proposals
Two House Committee
Members See Rejection
OF All But Amount
By the Associated Press.

ny tHc hScoClhtcQ FEcse.
House Ways and Means commit
teemen predicted today that many
Of Secretary Morgenthau's revenue
proposals would be rejected when
the committee draws new $780,
600 900 tax bill.
About the only thing the COM
mittee seems willing to accept right
now is the amount" two members
said. Mr.. Morgenthau had recon-
mended the $3.50. 900 900 increase
over this years record-breaking
revenue law.
Completing exactly one month OF
hearings on the Treasury Depart
ment's recommendations, Chairman
Doughton said that closed-door ses-
sions on the new tax bill probably
would begin about April TO- There
seemed little possibility that the
measure would reach the House
before June /.
Results Of Survey.
A survey of the committee men,
bers indicated that If votes were
taken today the administration pro-
gram would fare as follows:
Mr.. Morgenthau's recommends
ton against sales tax: A clear ma
jority favors either manufacturers
or retail sales tax. in order to be
able to scale down Mr.. Morgenthau's
request for steep increases in both
individual and corporation taxes.
$4,000, 000. 900 more from indi-
viduals: Except as last-ditch
source of revenue. such a program
would be rejected on the ground
that 1t would double the average
individuals tax so closely on last
years trebling. of income taxes.
$1,000, 0O0, 900 additional from
corporations: Much too high, what
with combined normal and surtaxes
starting at IS per cent, and excess
profit rates ranging up to rs per
cent: Rates appear to be almost
confiscatory, some members declare.
1884, 900 900 from new and in
creased excuses: Rejected If sales
tax is adopted; otherwise accepted
for the most part but only as a
temporary war measure. Major
revenue would come from increases
on distilled spirits, doubling of the
present III cents tax on gasoline,
and on cigarettes.
Joint Returns.
Compulsory joint individual in
come tax returns by husband and
wife: Acceptable as war meas
ure, with the prospect that it would
attract more votes than last year
when 1t was defeated in the House
after winning committee indorse-
ment.
Taxation of State and municipal
securities: Probably would be re-
jected because Of the effect on out
standing Indebtedness and on flu
ture security flotations.
Elimination of the present So
called percentage depletion allow
ance for oil well operators: Opposed
because it might interfere with
maximum production of petroleum.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-(R)
The Republican delegation in
the House, holding that mo

PLEDGE LOYAL SUPPORT
In the declaration, the repre-
sentatives said that the "Repub-

continue to give to the President
loyal, wholehearted and patriotic
support in the war"
That assurance was followed
Immediately by the assertion:
THE President should not
permit himself to be deferred
