Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee expressed fear
last night that tax revision may
fail at this session unless Congress
can conflne it to cuts in the war
time excises, Offset largely by clos
ing legal loop-holes in other taxes.
This would mean sidetracking
the administrations request for
higher estate, gift and corporation
income taxes to produce a net in
crease of 81, ,0o0, ,000,0 900 in revenue.
Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee said yesterday he has not come
to any conclusions, and does not
know how many of the Treasury
recommendations his committee
will approve.
II other quarters, however,
there were strong indications that
the House committee will try to
bring out a bill limited to excise
reductions, balanced, at least to
a large extent, by plugging legal
loop-holes in definitions of tax
able business income.
Other developments on the tax
front yesterday were:

George Wallace, executive coun-
sci to the Governor. said the ses-
sion would be delayed at least a
week. 1t. Gov. William Dodd de-
clared that the session probably

of it's nearness to the regular
biennial session in May.
In New Orleans, DIR. Robert
Bernhard, who attended Gov. Long
today, said the Louisiana chief

George Fears Tax Cut Will Fail
Unless 1t IS Limited to Excises
indications Are Committee Will Bring Out Bill
Which Plugs Loophoes to Offset Revenue Loss

tin invited the Senate to act on
cuts in the excise rates without
waiting for the House to go into
other phases of the revenue situa-
ton.
2. Senator George frowned on
the plan of Representative Mills,
Democrat. of Arkansas, to require
corporations to pay their income
tax within six instead of IL
months after the taxable year.
Even without any change in
corporation rates, the Mills plan
would improve the Treasury's
balance sheet for the next fiscal
year, by bringing in before June
80, 1851. business taxes for 1850
that otherwise could be spread over
four quarterly payments in 1851.
Senator George called the Mills
proposal a dubious one. and said
it would not add a dime" to the
Treasury's final tax receipts. The
Senator said 1t might have the
effect of diminishing corporation
tax collections in the long run,
because it would force some firms
to use for earlier tax payments
reserves intended for use in busi-
ness expansion. The Senator said
