Time May Prevent
Broad Revision Of
House Tax Bill

Although the wisdom of taking
100000 individuals off the in
come tax rolls entirely has been
questioned by Chairman George
of the Senate Finance Commit
tee, there we're indications today
that the time element may pre-
vent the committee from going
into a broad revision of the
House $5,300,OO0,O0O tax reduc-
tion bill.
Any move to rewrite the House
provisions which eliminate all tax
for large group of low income wage
earners, by raising the personal ex-
emptions on the normal tax, prob
ably would lead to controversy, first
in the Senate and then in confer
ence with the House, Offcials have
said the bill should be completed by
November 1, to give the Treasury
time to prepare new forms and
withholding tables for the calendar
year 1916.
Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, of
Maryland said in an interview that
he felt "a good many of those with
low incomes" should be dropped. He
added that he did not know, how
ever, whether he would want to go as
far as the HouSe-approved bill,
which would end income taxes for
these 100000 low-income Amer
leans.
Some other committee members
were adopting "show-me" atti-
tude.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive,
of Wisconsin said he did not want
to comment until he had heard
more argument.
Senator Butler of Nebraska, a
leading Republican member, said he
will "go along with Senator George
on January / as the date for ending
the excess profits tax"
The House bill only reduces that
tax at the end of this year, keeping
it in force until 1947.
Those two issues-how far down
the income scale taxes should reach,
and what date repeal of the excess
profits tax should be effective
arise as the major ones for the
committee when it gets down to
work Monday on the House-ap-
proved tax-cutting measure.

spirited Jewish friends from the

out money for them by concealing

Concerning her husbands activ-

"All Europe was with him Gin
1885 when he wanted to encircle
Germany. He made one front
from Moscow to Paris. Bucharest,
Budapest, Belgrade and Rome.
But they destroyed 1t all in less
than three years-the same people
who got France into war so unpre-
pared.
They pushed italy toward Ger
many. Then they drove Russia
away by Munich. My husband was
so bitter against Munich. We went
to war without Russia, without Italy,
without Yugoslavia, with no Austria
or Czechoslovakia left. And today
they want to keep my husband from
talking. 1t should not be a
matter Of defending Pierre Laval
but Of throwing light on these ques-
tions."
