Outcome of Tax
MIDDLE Not
Predicted

Washington, May 19-UP-House
Republican leaders, defeated for
tie third time on the Ruml skip-a-
year tax plan. nevertheless were
confident today that no other pay
as-you-go plan could garner a ma
jority House vote.
f. A few hours after the House vot-
ed, 202 to 1874. against accepting
the Senate's 100 per cent forgive
ness version Of pay-as-you-go legis-
lation, a Republican leader told the
United Press:
Il don't know whether we event
ually can pass the Ruml plan. But
| do know that they can't pass any
other PLAN"
There was no argument in most
circles on what the outcome OF the
present tax muddle would be. Some
predicted that the Senate-House
conference committee to which the
issue has been referred might bog
down in a long and possibly indei-
mite deadlock Others, more opti-
mistlc. looked forward to COM
promise. either forgiving IS per
cent of 1912 tax revenues instead
OF 100 per cent, or by starting
Withholding collections on July l
minus any forgiveness.
Republican optimism about the
inability of the Democratic leader
ship to round up a majority vote
for any alternative plan apparent
ly was based on the fact that a
small. unknown number OF rep
resentatives are opposed to any
forgiveness. They swung the bal
ance to the Democrats in the vote
on the Ruml plan and would swing
it to the Republicans in a vote for
a compromise. The voting on the
issue has been almost entirely
along party lines.
