to Hold Down

Washington, Mar. Sins De
spite many novel proposals to pre-

excess profits tax is the most eff
fective means Of holding down

While the Treasury has urged
stiffening OF excess profits tax
rates, with a top IS per cent brsc-
ket. congressional proposals for an
even higher tax. ranging up to
100 per cent Of excess profits. are
being made.
Sen. Taft (R) Ohio, member OF
the Senate Finance Committee,
said today that some members OF
Congress who have studied the
problem intently have about de-
cided to place reliance on the ex.
cess profits levy
Among the proposals has been
a seven per cent limit upon prof

ed with favor on some method OF
that kind, but there are many
practical difficulties.
"One method, used during the
World War, may be feasible. II

of so per cent or more OF war

imposed 1t was discounted after

II would favor going even higher

Setback
on LoanPlans
Lose Twenty One
Million

Washington. Mar. 13-INS-The
farm bloc and economy forces re-
newed their tug-of-war today as the
House convened an hour early in a
drive to complete action on the
badly mangled Agriculture Depart
ment appropriation bill.
Farm bloc leaders sma-ted under
the latest strategy of the economy
advocates which deleted $2l,250,-
600 from the farm tenancy loan pro-
gram.
Prior to this setback. however
farm bloc leaders had succeeded
in overwhelmingly defeating
amendments which would have
gravely impaired the nine-year-old
drive toward parity prices for farm
products.
Restrictive provisions against the
sale of government owned or con-
trolled farm products at less than
parity prices were retained in the
bill in the face OF direct condemna-
ton by President Roosevelt.
Amendments already adopted
have reduced the amount of the bill
by S75,O00,000 to a total OF $500,
100000 in direct appropriation and
loan authorizations.
Still remaining TO be acted upon
is an amendment by Rep. Dirksen
(R) ILL.,, to reduce appropriations
for the rural rehabilitation program
by S25,000,000. In addition, there
is a reported move to reduce an au-
thorization now in the bill permit
ting loans from the RFC up to
$40 600 600 for the program.
Republicans voting en- bloc and
supported by smsttering OF con-
servatiye Democrats yesterday
voted 120 10 104 to cut 500 900, 900
from an authorization to borrow
$45.000.000 from the RFC for the
