The shortage. marketing experts
declared, was brought about by
unusually large demands for all

season when very little meat Is
processed by packers.
Livestock during this season Of
the year is held on farms and
ranges to be fattened Tor the fall
and winter market
Meat packers, it was empha-

food animals each year, but the
situation has been aggravated by
huge government purchases for

In addition, the price Administrs.

voluntary cooperation, whereby

Priinciiple Of
Leviies IN Tax
BiNPIanned
Secret Meeting
Today

Washington, July 27-INS-The
Senate Finance Committee meets
in secret session today to determ-
inc the principle of lcyies TO he
contained in the first war tax bill.
Out OF the meeting may come
decisions on whether there shall
be a general sales tax, mandatory
joint returns for husband and wife.
and whether or not income from
state and municipal bonds shall
hereafter be subject to federal tax
alton.
As passed by the House, the
measure calls for $500, 100000 ad-
ditional annual revenues. but the
Treasury has urged that this fig
ure be increased to minimum
OF sS.7OO,OO0,OOO.
The Senate tax group will make
decisions on levies recommended
by Secretary OF the Treasury Nor
genthau, and on controversial fea-
lures such as the sales tax, urged
by powerful congressional blocs
represented on the committee.
To Expedite Action
Purpose of the meeting is TO ex-
pedite congressional action on the
tax bill by shortening hearings on
those leYies which a majority of
the committee has indicated should
not be included in the measure.
A canvass of committee senti-
ment indicated, meanwhile, that
mandatory Joint returns for nus
band and wife would be excluded
from the bill. Under this provi.
sion, once adopted, but subse-
quently rejected by the House
Ways and Means Committee, both
husband and wife would have to
pool their incomes and pay taxes
at higher rates than two single
persons having the same individ-
ual incomes.
This provision Is being fought
by a powerful congressional bloc
made up of representatives Of the
nine community property states.
In these states, unlike others,
the income OF married man may
be divided equally with his wife,
and tax payments at a lower rate
made by each member OF the mar.
riage. The mandatory joint re-

advantage.

gard, which permits the states to
