This might be ruled out on the
ground that rules of Congress pro-
hibit conference committee from
writing new subject matter into a
bill already passed by both houses.
May Delay Adjournment.
If so, Mr.. Eberharter is likely to
seek to put the House on record
for staying in session until Con-
gress acts on a profits levy in a
separate bill. Congressional lead
ers have been hoping to adjourn
Saturday.
Meanwhile, the conference COM
mittee-although not yet legally
set up-met informally. 1t was
reported to have accepted Senate
bill provisions in the general tax
bill that would boost the income
taxes of over so million individuals
by $2.7 billion year and of cor
porations by SIS billion.
The individual boost, If Con-
gress acts in time, will become
effective October /. Withholdings
from wages and salaries, after
personal exemptions, will go then
from Is per cent to Is per cent.
Most peoples taxes will be raised
about 20 per cent.
Increases in regular corporation
taxes will be retroactive to cover
one-half of 1850 income.
More millions will be collected
by other tax law changes.

Congress consider this after the
November election.
The excess profits battle was
headed off in the Senate two
weeks ago when language was in
serted in the tax measure. calling
on Congress to write such a levy
next year and make it retroactive
to october l, 1850, or July /, 1850.
Some supporters of the profits
tax argue, however. that the
present Congress cannot instruct
the next Congress what to do.
Sc Billion Levy Urged Now.
Representative Eberharter, DEM
ocrat, of Pennsylvania. and sew
eral other members want a Sc
billion profits levy now. as part
of the present bill. That would
raise the total tax increase to
more than SO billion.
They want a 95 per cent levy on
corporation profits that exceed the
average annual profits of 1916
1949 by more than $4,000.
The crucial vote was expected
on motion to send the general
tax bill to a House-Senate con-

Profits Tax Strongly Backed.
The profits tax idea gathered
powerful backing in the House,
among both Democrats and Re-
publicans.
Thirty-two House Republicans
issued q statement declaring that
they will oppose any adjournment
of Congress until it acts on such
a tax.
"It is intolerable," they said,
"to send American youth into

whether there shall be such a

Provisions of Bill.
Mr.. Truman had asked for new
legal weapons to use against sabo-
teurs and spies. The McCarran
bill gave him what he wanted,
plus many things that he didn't.
The measure includes provisions
for registration of Communist and
front organizations. the power to
intern Reds in time of war, in
vasion or instruction, and some
new ways to deport or bar aliens
suspected of being subversive.
The House bill is largely a Com
munist-registration measure, SIM
liar in many respects to that por-
ton of the Senate measure.
Mr.. Truman has expressed con-

ator in campaign speech in
| Wooster, Ohio, week ago.
Mr.. Bow, who is Senator
Schoeppel's administrative assist
ant, already has said that. he
dug up most of the material on
which Senator Schoeppel based
his charges. But he told re-
porter he had not suggested the
Senator make the speech to the
Senate.
Senator Murray, Democrat. of
Montana, who had read part of
Mr.. Bows prepared statement in
advance, challenged it as "a po-
litical speech" even before Mr..
Bow started reading it.
Senator Murray said Mr.. Bows
statement looked to him like an
attempt ito bolster an attack that
has been pretty well exploded"
Mr.. Bow disputed Secretary
Chapman's contention that Sen
ator Schoeppel was scandal
mongering."
ut cannot be called a repre-
hensible campaign of scandal
mongering insinuation and pure
SANDER" Mr.. Bow said. when
evidence of a substantial charac-
ter such as the records of the
Congress of the United States
indicate the close ties of a high
Government official with known
Communists
o He demanded that handwriting
experts examine Mr.. Chapman's
sworn afhdavits of naturalization
with any subversive groups, dated
in 1941, to determine whether it
was in fact executed by him at
that time"
Senator Schoeppel has charged
that Mr.. Chapman, taking oath as
Undersecretary of the Interior In
1916, refrained from signing a
loyalty affidavit. Mr.. Chapman
retorted that he had signed the
affidavit in 1941. and said it wasn't
necessary to do so again in 1916.
He said Mr.. Bow and Senator
Sehoeppel should have seen the
1941 affidavit in looking over the
Secretary's personnel file.
Mr.. Bow said he got his infor-
nation on Mr.. Chapman's oaths
from the files of a committee that
investigated lobbying during the
80th Congress. He insisted the In
terror Department had been told
to send Mr.. Chapman's entire per-
sonnet record to that group.
Senator Anderson, Democrat, of
New Mexico, interrupted to tell
MI. Bow the Interior Committee
already has testimony that the
lobby investigating subcommittee
asked only for certain documents,
and not the entire file.
Somebody is making misrep-
feSenGaClonS unQef Oatn, Senator
Anderson said. And I hope it
will be sufficiently serious when
the time comes"

Schoeppel's charges that the Alas
kan Statehood Committee, in hir-
ing Randolph Feltus of New York
as publicity man, had hired IAN
agent of the Kremlin via War

Senator Schoeppel had based
the charge on Mr.. Feltus' former

counsel for the Polish Ambassa-
dor. Mr.. Feltus has denied any

President Truman last night
charged it is becoming increas-
ingly difficult to recruit able mer1
for Government service because
at seems to be a pastime of q
great many people to throw bricks
at those who have to carry on the
Governments operations.
The President, who paid a sur

Supervisors, told 1900 enthusiastic
delegates and their wives:
"It has gotten so bad here lately
that it is a difficult matter to find
a man who is willing to take the
rough treatment he has to re-
ceive in key positions.
Sometimes I have been refused
the services of able and distin-
guished men because they regard
their private lives as their own
They have no private lives wher
they become Government en-
ployes, as you all know"
Cites Donaldson's Reward
After noting that his appoint.
ment of Postmaster Genera
Donaldson marked the first timt
a career man had been named

that he liked to reward people
who have spent their lives ir

Mr.. Truman praised the super
visors for the job they are doing
He said they are responsible fol

world"
After the President left, Mr.
Donaldson attacked critics of the
order reducing postal service.
Most, if not all, of our troubles
are caused by those who are con-
Stantly making Misrepresentation
and engaging in loose talk about
a business they know little about"
he said.
He pointed out that, although
criticism has been made of recent
Post Office Department fiscal
losses, the percentage of the
deficits. when compared to total
revenues. has been lower than in
many previous years-including
the last year of the Hoover
administration.
