Washington, Oct. l0-(UP)-The House Ways and Means committee recommended passage of its $5,- $50, 900 900 (B) tax reduction bill to- day ito provide incentives for busi- ness to expand and to increase con- suner purchasing power"
 Certain expenditures necessary after the end of the war, however, will keep federal revenue require- ments at a high level during 1946 if a large deficit is to be avoided" the committee said in a report on its bill.
 House leaders planned to bring the bill before the House tomorrow and hoped it would be passed by nightfall.
 The Ways and Means committee said there will be a 'sizeable defi- cit" for the 1946 calendar year and that only limited tax reductions could be made now. It suggested that moderate tax relief for all groups would be preferable to the complete elimination of few war time taxes affecting only a relative ly small number of taxpayers"
 For individual taxpayers the committee has proposed increasing the exemptions from the three per cent normal tax and cutting surtaS rates four per cent. That change
