|Morgenthau Warns
Tax Bill Opens Way
To Big War Profits
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congress had from Secretary Nor
|genthau today an outspoken warn
ing that the Senate Finance Com
mittee's 81, 200 0O0, 900 tax bill as now
drawn contains provisions that
open the way to truly extortionate
war profits and hold the seed of a
national scandal"
The Treasury chieftain's blister
ing denunciation of the measure
particularly with relation to pro-
posed changes in the War Contract
Renegotiation Act-was capped by
an assertion that "the way the mat
ter stands now, I think the Tresury
would be better off with no tax bill,
but on that basis we'd be awfully
bad off,"
Mr.. Morgenthau, holding one of
his rare Monday afternoon news
conferences, first read a prepared
statement rapping the House-ap-
proved bill as extremely disappoint-
ing" from revenue standpoint and
equally unfortunate, due to rec
commended changes in the renegoti-
alton law.
Then, discussing the statement with
special emphasis on renegotiation,
the Secretary declared that "the
smartest thing business can do is to
leave it alone-unless business exec
utives want to spend the rest of their
lives on Capitol Hill appearing be-
fore investigating committees"
Mr. Morgenthau added a hope
that the holiday recess might lead
Congress to reconsider land give us
real producing bill" The
measure now is pending before the
Senate.
I'm still stickin' to S10,5OO ,O0O,-
000' as the goal for additional reve-
nue., Mr.. Morgenthau replied to a
question. Its there, and they can
get it,"
Mr.. Morgenthau also criticized the
Senate committees action in voting
to freeze social security taxes at
the present l per cent rate instead
of permitting the automatic doubling
Of the levy January l. Asserting this
would mean reducing collections by
81 400 100000 next year, he added
that "the effect will be to increase
the amounts the Government will
have to raise in future years" to pay
benefits under the act.

Cleavage on Domestic Issues.
AS for legislation dealing with
administration home front policies
it was an entirely different story.
An early major battle developed
over the Ruml pay-as-you-go tax
plan, which House Republicans
backed almost to a man. 1t ended
in a compromise which COP tax
experts claimed was IS per cent
victory for their cause.
In June, month later, the Pres
ident received one of the biggest
legislative jolts of his three terms
in the White House. He vetoed the
Smith -Connally War Labor Disputes
Act, immediate outgrowth of the
coal strike, and in record time both
the Senate and the House overrode
the veto and put the legislation on
the law books.
The President ana his forces Jared
better, though, on legislation out
lawing the administrations food
subsidy program. The coalition of
House Republicans and Democrats
who had written the ban into
bill extending the life of the Com
modify Credit Corp couldn't muster
the votes needed to override the
veto.
New Round Coming Up.
A new fight over the same issue
will be left unsettled by adjourn
ment, with an agreement to permit
the CCC to continue operating until
February IS.
The second House vote to ban
subsidies was the first of a series of
successive blows at the administra-
tion's anti-inf1ation program. The
House followed up its newest top
heavy prohibition of subsidies with
vote to require an increase of IS
cents per barrel in crude oil prices,
an increase denied by the Office of
Price Administration and by Eco
