The House voted, 1856 to 1853, to-
day in favor of limiting extern
sion of the administrations re-
ciprocal trade powers to two
years instead of three. However,
the action is subject to a roll call
later.
Representative Doughton, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina shouted in
debate that adoption of the amend
ment would be the first step toward
abandonment of the reciprocal
trade policy, statement which
was challenged by Representative
WadsWorth, Republican, OF New
York.
The New Yorker told the House
that the world and this Nations
allies would realize that the action
did not mean reputation of the
reciprocal trade program, and that
it would continue the pact program
for the duration of the war.
Eearlier, the Republican Steering
Committee met in closed session and
Minority Leader Martin said it was
unanimous in favor of limiting the
acts extension to two years instead
of the three sought by the admin
istration.
simultaneously, he said there is
strong sentiment" for two other
amendments, one of which would
subject the reciprocal trade pacts
to a review and possible veto by
Congress within 80 days after they
have been drafted.
The second would prevent reduce
ton of import duties under the
act below point where they could
enter this country and be sold for
prices less thai the cost of produc-
ton of domestic products.

Senate Opens Debate
Today on Tax Bill
With Many Changes
Poy-os YOU Go Proposal
Completely OverhouIed
By Finance Committee
BY the Associated Press.

In majority report on the re-
vised Ruml-Carlson skip tax
year. bill, the Senate Finance
Committee said today that if
pay = as you = co. measure is
adopted by Congress it will be-
come unnecessary to pass retro
active increased tax legislation
which has resulted in so much
uncertainty and ineQuity in the
past"
Formally reporting the bill to
the Senate for the start of debate
today, the committee noted there
was no disagreement in its ranks as
to the method of placing taxpayers
on a current basis.
The only differences that de-
veloped in the committee were as to
the treatment of the tax on 1912
income the report said, adding:
"A majority of the committee was
OF the opinion that the entire 1912
liability should be abated or can
celed except such part of the liza
blllty which could be recouped
through windfall provisions. There
were others on the committee who
believed that less of the 1912 tax
should be Cancelled than is provided
in your committee bill"
Abatement Explained.
AS approved by the group. the
measure would abate the lower of
either 1912 or 1943 taxes for all
taxpayers, putting all on a current
basis except those with windfall in
comes, who would have to pay on the
excess over normal years earn
ings, as measured by their 1888, 1889
or 1910 income plus $4,000
This measure was submitted for
House-approved bill which would
abate the per cent normal and
the 13 per cent first bracket tax on
1912 incomes for all taxpayers, with
the remaining liability for those in
higher brackets being paid in the
present manner.
The committee, while saying its
bill would make it unnecessary to
pass retroactive increased tax legis-
lation, did not 60 into detail on this
point. The general assumption.
however, was that 1t did not intend
to indicate there would be no fur
ther increases in taxes, but merely
to observe that such increases would
not be carried back for several
