 He did not think drastic reduc- tions in individual income taxes are as urgent as cuts in the levy on corporate earnings.
 Vinson said he has been in close touch ith Chairman Robert Dough- ton, D., N. C., of the house ways and means committee which origi- mates tax legislation. He said he would also confer soon with Chair man Walter F. George. D., Ga, of the senate's tax-handling finance committee.
 Asked whether there was hope for prompt tax reduction the secretary said that was a matter for congress to decide.
 He also declined to comment on possible elimination of the excess profits tax. A recently enacted law increased exemptions on excess pro- fits taxes from $10,000 to $25,000.
 Vinson disclosed that the treas ury's report on Elliott Roosevelt's loan difficulties would be given to the house ways and means commit tee August 27.
