tContlnueo From First PageO
Means Committee called a meet
ing for today to plan its action
on the second bill. It hopes to
have it ready in time for Con-
greSs to act after the November
elections.
This second bill will propose an
excess profits tax intended by its
sponsors to eliminate war profit
eering.
Senator George, Democrat, OF
Georgia, indicated it may increase
taxes by another 81 billion a year
including a 81 billion to $6 billion
corporation excess profits levy
Thus the two bills may increase
the annual tax take by around
$12 billion, bringing the total Fed
eral tax income close to $50 bill
lion-a new record.
Senator George, chairman OF
the tax-writing Finance Commit
tee, told the Senate that in his
Judgment the excess profits levy
will be made retroactive to cover
one-half Of 1850 corporation in
come.
The first bill embodies a pledge
by Congress to act later on an
excess profits tax, retroactive
either to October or July /, 1850
Bringing the tax statutes near
to a wartime footing, the first bill
grants tax exemptions to GIs and
reductions for their officers fight
ing in Korea, and it provides tax
incentives for industry to retool
for production of defense mate
rialS.
1t provides for a speedup in
corporation income tax payments,
to bring an extra S. billion into
the Treasury over a five-year Pc
riod. It imposes 10 per cent
manufacturers excise tax on tele-
vision sets, calculated to yield $42
million a year.

Insurance companies-Applies
a new formula to the income OF
life insurance companies to cor
rect the present law whereby they
have been exempt from Federal
taxes since 1947. The new
formula applies to 1949 and 1850
incomes.
Liquidations-For business liq-
uidation in any calendar month
of 1851 the new law provides that
only that part of the distribution
that represents accumulated earn
ings will be taxable at ordinary
income rates. Capital gain taxes
will apply to the remainder.
Circulation outlays - Allows

zines and other periodicals to de-
duct as ordinary expenses ex-
penditures to maintain. establish

include expenditures for acquisi-
ton of land and depreciable prop

5. Closing tax loopholes.
The new bill plugs tax law loop
holes to put a stop to abuses of
the tax-exempt status of chari-
table and educational organiza-
tions. trusts, foundations and col
leges. Any income over $1,000
derived from the operation of a
business enterprise that is not SUBJ
stantially related to such an or
ganization's activities would be
subject to income taxes.
Other provisions seek to curb
the manipulation of trusts for pri-
vate benefit, requires annual re-
ports to the Government and sets
forth a series Of six prohibited
transactions.

|Jenner HurIs Invective
AT Drew Pearson in
Anticipation Of Attack
By the Associated Press

Senator Jenner, Republican, OF
Indiana called Columnist Drew
Pearson a revolving, S. o. b.
today because of an attack which
he said Mr.. Pearson's column will
make on him tomorrow.
Addressing the Senate, Mr.. Jen-
ner quoted the column as saying
he was put in the Senate" by
"the former treasurer of the Ku
Klux Klan in Indiana, Bob Lyons.
When Mr.. Pearson heard about
Senator Jenner's remarks he said
the Senator apparently could dish
out criticism, but couldn't take it
Senator Jenner said Mr.. Pear
son made the attack because OF
the Senator's criticism of Defense
Secretary George Marshall.
"This Drew Pearson" Senator
Jenner said, "is a self-appointed
self f-made, cross I'd, dotted I'd
double -documented, super-super-
lative, revolving S. o. B."
Attack Is Real Achievement
He said he considered the at
tack "a real achievement" since
criticism by Mr.. Pearson "have
generally been reserved for Presi-
dents of the United States"
Think of it." the Senator
added, two American Presidents
were unable to find any other
words to describe this propa-
|ganda- -peddling prostitute than
by calling him a S. o. B."
In a statement to reporters,
Mr.. Pearson later said:
After launching one Of the
most unfair attacks at Gen. Mar
shall ever aimed at a public fig
ure, calling him "a living lie and
a front man for traitors Jenner
now rants, raves and winces when
his own operations are exposed.
A hit dog always howls."
Senator Jenner's statement
about two Presidents apparently
referred to brushes Mr.. Pearson
had with Presidents Truman and
Roosevelt.
Had Brush With Roosevelt.
In August. 1943, Mr.. Roosevelt
called Mr.. Pearson a chronic liar
without mentioning him by name
He said. at a news conference
that the comments of columnist
calling Cordell Hull, Secretary OF
State. anti-Russian, were detri-
mental to winning the war. He
added that the man who wrote
them was a chronic liar.
Mr.. Pearson issued statement
repeating the remark about Mr.
Hull and said he was compliment
ed to join the list of newspaper
men attacked by the President.
Last year in February Mr.. Pear
son had criticized Mai. Gen
Harry H. Vaughn. presidential
military aide. President Truman
said in a speech if any S. o. B
thinks he can get any member OF
the presidential staff or cabinet
changed by a smart aleck crack he
is mistaken.
Again Mr.. Pearson wasn't men
toned by name but there was nc
doubt he was the target.

tween II and 20 per cent, on the

one-fourth of a persons 1850 in
come.
The bill affects the rate in
crease by repeating percentage re-
ductions enacted in 1945 and 1948.
The new levies will be considerably
lower than those in effect in
World War II. since Congress re-
tanned provisions of the 1948 act
allowing husbands and wives to

Iper cent tax. on the first $25,
and IS per cent on the rest.
A speed-up in corporation in
come taxes is called for to put an

done by requiring corporations, by
q gradual transition process, to
pay their previous years taxes in

ing year instead of the present

Mcmahon TO Inquire
Into Draft Records
OF Three Hearst Sons
BY the Assoeioied Press

Senator Mcmahon, Democrat,
OF Connecticut, says he intends to
press for a Senate inquiry into the
World War II draft records of
three sons of Publisher William
Randolph Hearst when Congress
meets in November.
William Randolph Hearst, jr.,
publisher Of the New York Jour-
nal-American, replied that "the
draft records of my brothers and
myself are, believe. available for
inspection by Senator Mcmahon
or any other interested parties. p"
Senator Mcmahon offered a res
olution to authorize the Senate
Armed Services Committee to in
vestigate the Selective Service
records of William Randolph
Hearst, jr., and his brothers, John
and David, as we'll as those of
Leslie Gould, financial editor of
the New York Journal-American,
and Serge Rubinstein of New York.
RuUlHStclu OOHVICLeu.
Senator Mcmahon told the
Senate he had been "Scandalized"
because the Journal American
printed "the fraudulent charge I
1ntervened for Rubinstein in his
draft difficulties.
Rubinstein was convicted of
draft lodging and served two
years in the Federal penitentiary
at Lewisburg, Pa. He was re-
leased in 1949.
'For years in their sordid news
papers, the Hearsts have ad-
vocated universal military train
ing for every American boy-ap-
parently for everybody except the
HearstS," Senator Mcmahon said.
"The Hearsts pleaded to their
draft boards that they were
needed at home to support their
families"
William Randolph Hearst, jr.,
replied in statement issued in
New York by William H. White,
editor of the Hearst Newspaper
Bureau there:
ITO charge as Senator Nc
Mahon has that there was any,
thing irregular is, it seems to me,
to lmpugn the honesty and integ-
rity of the members of those
draft boards (in> which he and his
brothers were registered)
Gould Also Replies.
Senator Mcmahon or any one
else is welcome to investigate the
records to their hearts content.
1t would appear, though, that Sem
ator Mcmahon is not as sanguine
about publicity on his own back
ground"
Mr.. Gould said in a separate
statement that if Senator Nc
Mahon is interested in his draft
record, II suggest he ask my draft
board" He added that "as to the
Senator's relations with Serge
Rubinstein whom I exposed,
there's the record"
Senator MacMahon said that he
did represent Rubinstein in an
immigration case before his elec-
ton to the Senate. But he said
he never had the slightest con-
nection" with Rubinstein's draft
case.
He said he had given this in
formation to the Journal-Ameri-
can in December, 1948, but that
the following February the paper
printed an article by Mr.. Gould
attempting to link me to Rubin
STEMS draft case"
And he said that now "the hood
1um Hearst press has announced
a mucker campaign to def1le my
honor and my public career" in
a series of articles by Mr.. Gould
to begin tomorrow.
