Agreement Sought
By Conferees Today
On Profits Tax Bill
BY the Associated Press

A Senate-House conference COM
mittee strove today for quick
agreement on legislation boosting
Americas tax load to the highest
level in history.
The compromise measure is ex-
pected to increase corporation
taxes by more than SO billion. IN
cluding a super levy up to rs or
II per cent on excess business
profits.
1t is intended to help finance
the Nations preparedness to COM
bat Communist aggression, fore
stall profiteering and curb inf1a-
ton.
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee told newslnen
he hoped the compromise can be
reached in time for both the SEN
ate and the House to approve it
and send it to President Truman
by nightfall.
But other tax legislation man
ayers said final action may be
delayed until just before the new
Congress convenes January 3.
The legislation. with the tax
boosting bill passed in September,
would raise the annual Federal
tax load to $45 billion or more.
The previous record was in 1945,
during World War II, when collec-
tions reached $43 billion.
President Truman already has
put the Nation on notice to ex-
pect another tax increase next
year.
The conference committee failed
yesterday in its first attempt to
smooth out the different versions
of the excess profits legislation as
it has been passed by the House
and Senate.
