5Pct. CEILING
On War Profits,
Senator S Plan
Arms Manufacturers
Blame Confusion on
Price Reneeofiations

WASHINGTON, Sept. p (INS).
George Cd OF Georgia.
finance committee chairman, said
today he will ask the committee
either to approve a bill imposing
a 5 per cent limit on war profits
or TO simplify present machinery
for war contract renegotiation.
The committee meets behind
closed doors today TO consider
complaints by war manufacturers
that the existing law under which
war contracts are being renego-
tiated is causing confusion and un-
certaintieS.
GEORGES SUBSTITUTE
81 am going to propose a sub
stitute for existing law under
which n 5 per cent profit limit
would apply to the total volume
OF war contracts" George said.
"But I am not certain whether
the committee will want to
adopt this plan or simplify
amendments to the present law
intended TO do away with con-
fusion
The committee intends TO dis
cuSs the whole question with Off
Gals of the army. navy and
commission.
George said changes in existing
law governing renegotiation OF
war contracts would not be con-
sidered as part Of the tax bill,
but would be included in separate
legislation.
90 PER CENT TAX CEILING
At a closed meeting yesterday.
the committee decided TO place a
90 per cent ceiling on income
taxes paid by individuals. AS a
result. if a mans income taxes
exceeded 80 per cent of taxable
income. he would pay 80 per cent.
Colin r. STAN. congressional tax
expert. explained that this re
lief' measure would not apply ex-
cept in the case OF persons with
a total income OF around $1,000
900 a year or more. II is con-
trary to President Roosevelts
proposal that individual income be
limited 10 SOS 900 a year for the
duration. Z.
The finance committee also
adopted an amendment 10 exist
ing tax law doing away with the
requirement that individuals must
take an oath before a notary pub
lie that their income tax returns
are correct.
This was done at the request of
the treasury department. which is
anxious to expedite the filing OF
income tax returns by the addl-
tional millions of persons who Will
be liable to taxation next year.
Taxpayers. under the change
simply will affirm" that their re-
turns are correct. The fact that
they do not take an oath before a
notary will not relieve them OF
prosecution for perjury If their
returns are incorrect.

an important part toward the

The states coal mines this year
