Washington, May. PUP The
House Ways and Means Commit
tee today had but two phases OF
the 1912 corporation tax structure
to dispose OF before turning TO
President Roosevelt's proposal for
a $4,000 net limit on private in
comes
Speeding action ON the $780,
100000 war revenue bill, the COM
mittee late yesterday OVERRIDE ad-
ministration' recommendation by
adopting IS per cent corporation
surtax instead OF a 81 per cent
levy the Treasury proposed
Earlier, il adopted a flat 81
per cent tax on excess profits
three per cent higher than the
Treasury recommended-and voted
to retain the present normal cor
porate income tax rates which
graduate from IS per cent on
earnings up to $1,000 to "a per
cent on income in excess of 1925, 900.
Further action was postponed
until Monday when the two remain
ing corporation tax issues will be
considered-the amount, if any,
corporations will receive in re-
bates after the war on the taxes
they now pay and whether to re-
tain or repeal the declared value
capital stock tax.
There is strong sentiment In
the committee to credit corpora
tions at least 20 per cent of the
excess profits taxes they now pay
as a back to business-as-usual"
nest egg TO ward off severe post
war depression. Fate of the 1925
per $1,000 levy on declared value
capital stock-which committee
experts want retained over the
Treasury's objection-still is in
doubt.
After these questions are decid
ed, the committee will take up the
Presidents suggestion that no
American be permitted to retain
more than $4,000 annually after
he settles his taxes.

The addition at Sibley Hospital
will be provided by moving nurses

labor union activities by a Kansas
legislative council investigating

Henry j. Sullivan, assistant re-

the Metropolitan Area, said re-
quests for War Production Board
construction permits and priorities
ratings will be made as soon after
the hospitals accept the projects as
detailed lists and architects plans
can be prepared. In the case of
Columbia Hospital, which rents its
site from the Federal Government,
j. it tmay be necessary to apply to Con-
gress for permission to accept the
project, he added
OF the projects involved in the
550-bed allotment announced by
FWA the first part of last month,
only one request for priorities-for
an addition of $50 beds at Gallinger
already has reached the War Pro-
duction Board. This was delivered
personally by Mr. Sullivan last Tues
day afternoon and now is being
studied by WPB engineers. Work
on this phase of the program will
begin, according to FWA officials, as
soon as priorities ratings are given.
General Fleming explained that
the new allotment was based on the
latest estimates of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, which set the Metropolitan
Area population at 1,25O0O0, and
on recommendations of the District
Vital Area Board, the United
States Public Health Service and
other interested agencies.
The earlier 550-bed allotment was
based on an estimated population
of 100000.
Changes at Emergency.
Included in the supplementary
program are funds to provide for
converting the nurses home at
Emergency Hospital into an OBJ
stetrical ward and for, construction
of a temporary nurses home on
hospital al-owned property on F street
The obstetrical ward at Emer-
gency will be the first ever pro-
vided at that hospital. The tenn
porary nurses home will be a
three-story building and will be
constructed by renovating two
existing structures and by. building
a third to connect with them. In
ternes now quartered in one of the
houses on the site will be moved
to a nearby residence, also owned
by the hospital.
improvements at Georgetown
Hospital will include new three
story nurses home, to be built uH-
der war specifications, combined
two-story internes' quarters ano
basement clinic and the renovation
of an old DiStrict-owned school,
building as nurses training school,
and nurses recreation center. Con-
struction of a nurses home will
enable them to vacate their present
quarters, making room for an addi-
tional ISL hospital beds.
The Georgetown project will be
carried out at cost to the Federal
Government of 1881 900. The hospi-
tai will bear the expense of reno
