Coalition Force
Seeks Revisions
In War Tax Bill

WASHINGTON, July 20-The
Sc, 144. 100000 war tax bill headed
for showdown vote in the House
today as a strong coalition force
made ready 10 drive for rivisions
in the corporate tax structure
before the measure is sent 10 the
Senate.
Led by Representative KnutSon
(R) of Minnesota, a member Of
the ways and means committee
which drafted the first tax meas
ure of World War IL. Repub-
llicans-well supported by Demo
lcratS--will attempt TO gain enough
votes TO instruct the committee 10
reduce normal and surtaXes of cor
IporationS from As 10 40 per cent
and increase excess profits taxes
from 87.5 TO 90 per cent.
This change will be the only one
on which the House membership
will be given an opportunity 10
vote, for under the gag" rule pro-
.cedure in the House, no amend
.ments can be offered unless they
are approved by the ways and
means committee.
Originally, the committee had
agreed 10 levy normal and surtaxeS
on corporations totaling 40 per
cent, while imposing a fat "a per
cent tax on so-called excess" or
war profits.
a reversal in the last day OF
consideration brought the rates TO
those now contained in the bill,
amid reports of horse trading and
political log rolling" within the
committee.
