Is Per Cent Above 1912
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Corporate profits, after taxes, for
the first quarter of this year, totaled
$1.82l 900 900, about 18 per cent
above the same period last year, the
Commerce Department estimated
yesterday on the basis of present
corporate tax rates.
The increase was dominated by
manufacturing and transportation
industries, "the two industsies most
directly serving the war effort the
Department said in a survey.
For example, the automobile
group led the general increase in
manufacturing profits before taxes
with Al per cent gain over the
f1rst quarter Of last year. This sharp
rise, OF course. was based on an un-
usually low figure for the first quar-
ter of 1912. when conversion to war
production was under way"
The Department said that al
though corporate earnings before
taxes rose from an estimated 3d.
938 100000 in l94l to s18,7s4 ,0OO, ,o0C
last year, most of this IS per cent
gain was absorbed by taxes, leaving
less than per cent increase in

strongest attack on hte bill which
he said was disguised TO improve

that.
He pointed out the fact that It's
provisions were not confined TO the

also revealed what he termed "vague

the areas to be zoned and who was
able to give the correct definition
