Senate Cuts Spending
OF 7. Y. A. 10 Funds
Previously Voted
PIon Aimed TO Force
Agency to Justify
Its Expenditures
,y 'be Associated Press.

Ey ne Associated Press.
The Senate approved this aft
ernoon, over administration op-
position, an amendment to the
independent Offices appropria-
tions bill limiting expenditures
of the Tennessee Valley Author
ity to funds previously voted by
Congress.
Under existing law, the T. V. A.
has authority to make expenditures
from its receipts from power sales.
Administration leaders contended
this "f1exibility' of operations was
necessary to enable T v. A. to meet
"unforeseeable" developments oc-
casioned by an expanding war power
program.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of
Tennessee, chief sponsor OF the
limitation, declared its purpose was
to require T. " A. to come to
Congress to show justification for
its spending"
When the House passed the bill
it voted to continue the T. V. AS
control over its own expenditures
in revolving fund opera ton
Majority Leader Barkley opposed
the limitation proposal and Senator
Norris. Independent, of Nebraska,
and Hill, Democrat, of Alabama,
contended its adoption would ham,
per drastically the T. v. AS war
power program.
The vote on the amendment
cleared the way for action on an
other proposal by Senator McKellar
to require the T, V. A. to pay its
power receipts into the Treasury
monthly. An unexpended balance
of 100000 expected to be left
over from the current years appro-
priations would be reappropriated
for the agency.
The approved amendment. while
stripping T. v. A. of its revolving
fund, increased the House-approved
appropriation for T. v. A. from
$136 100 900 to $172 900 900, giving
the T. v. A. the benefit. for next
fiscal year only, of the anticipated
power receipts of S36 900 900.
The vote in favor of the amend
ment was announced as AZ to 80.

B, the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee was advised by its experts
today that the "a per cent corpora
ton excess profits tax it had ap-
proved tentatively would seriously
hamper the war effort unless it was
coupled with a postwar refund of
some nature
Colin F. Stam, head of the joint
Committee on Internal Revenue
Taxation, made the statement in a
brief on the English system of re-
bates for postwar needs. The brief
said:
UNLESS some incentive is granted
in the form Of a postwar credit, it
is believed that a "a per cent rate
will seriously hamper the war effort,
stimulate inefficiency on the part of
the corporation and tend toward
inf1ation.''
Several plans for creating such a
NEST egg have been presented to
the committee but Chairman
Doughton said that the question
had been deferred temporarily
while members studied it further
Meanwhile, he said, the committee
would start consideration of Sec
retary Morgenthaus request for
$4,000 900, 900 more taxes from in
dividuals.
Chairman Doughton and Repre-
sentative Cooper, Democrat, of
Tennessee made public Mr.. STAN S
opinion and discussion but said that
it was not to be taken as an indi-
cation of the committees attitude
The chairman said that many
committeeman believed that the
rebate proposition, also favored by
the Treasury, would require many

Stondord Oil, Reich Firm
Planned Postwar DeoIs,
Justice Agent Testifies
By hn Associated Press.

By he Associated Press.
A Government attorney testi-
fed today that German interests
had used an agreement with the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
to prevent American industry
from getting the use Of a vital
explosives process during the
war emergency"
John R. Jacobs, jr.. special at
torney in the Justice Departments
antitrust division, told the Senate
Patents Committee that the process
involved production of hydrogen in
the production of synthetic am
monia, chemical basic to the pro-
duction of explosives"
Mr.. Jacobs also testified that let
ters from the files of Standard and
its subsidiaries and from agents and
officers of the German firm, l. G.
Farbenindustrie. showed that both
American and German officials
planned to resume business con-
facts after the war.
1T is without question the intent
of both parties to consider their
partnership merely suspended dur
ing the present hostilities." Mr..
Jacobs said After the war the
parties undoubtedly intend to have
an accounting. make the necessary
financial adjustments and then con-
tinue their unlawful agreement"
The Justice Department attorney
said that the German American
agreement and its controls were
broken by a consent decree in an
antitrust action against Standard
and numerous afflliates at Newark,
NJ j.. last March 25.
Senator La Toilette. Progressive.
of Wisconsin interrupted Mr.. Jacobs
at one point to say that the case
was the most startling exhibit of
