WA S H TON (LPA) -
Sharp dissatisfaction with the
tax bill which reached the Sen
ate floor Aug. "a has strength
ened the hand of liberal Demo-
cratic Congressman who want
to pay at least part of mounting
military costs through a levy on
the excess profits OF corpora

Both ALL and CIO have
urged the Senators to support

ment proposed by Sen. Joseph

Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton wired Senate leaders that
the bill with its ingenious tax
lodging devices is a protiteer
paradise"
Sen. Paul Douglas Cd, lid
pointed out that, on the same
day the tax bill debate started,
an additional S15R billion In
military spending during the
coming year was okayed by a
House committee. The tax bill
would pick up only an addition
al So billion during this same
period. Wont the inevitable
result be-" Douglas asked, "a
great increase in prices, and in
flation-with all the terrible
consequences that that will
bring? This tax bill should be
increased upward very, very
radically as quickly as possible
on the floor of the Senate"
Chairman Walter George ID,
Ca of the Senate tax-writing
committee was caught between
two fires of criticism. One was
levelled by liberal Democrats
backed up by organized labor,
insisting that an excess profits
tax be added and that loopholes
giving a break to wealthy tax
payers be closed. The same lib
eral Democrats plus many 9TH

income that would be picked ur
by the bill with the nearly $lt
billions in new military costs
that the government will have
to pay.

Sen. Georges promise that this
was just "the first step in IL
nancing the expanded military
appropriations resulting from
the wal in Korea"
Sen. Hubert Humphrey, who
will be joined by others, has
listed twelve loopholes which

will try on the Senate floor II

der existing law a capital gain
is taxable at a maximum rate of
25 per cent If the asset was held
for over six months. Under the
Senate bill this period is reduced
to three months. This amend
ment. which was included in the
House bill and approved by the
Finance Committee fits best the
tax needs of the stock market
and commodity spectators, who
are thus permitted to convert or
binary profits into capital gains.
This "loophole" will benefit

porate executives would be al
lowed to pay at capital gains
rates in lieu of normal and sur
tax rates, on that part OF their
salary received in the form of
options to buy company stock at
less than market price.
6. TAX FREE REDEMPTION
OF STOCKS TO PAY ESTATE
TAXES - Estates of owners of
corporations would be allowed
to draw down accumulated earn
ings and profits free of income
tax TO the extent used to pay es-
tate and inheritance taxes. This
amendment has practical appli-
cation under present gift and es-
tate tax exemptions only to sim
gle persons with estates of $780,
600 and over, or to married per-
sons with estates of $4,000 or
more.
7. CORPORATE SPIN OFFS
This provision would exempt
from taxation the value of new
stocks distributed to stockhold-
ers by a corporation which de-
cided to spin Off part of its
business into a separate firm.
8. A MORTIZATION OF
EMERGENCY FACILITIES -
While emitting an excess profits
tax on corporations, the Com
mittee bill would permit accel-
Grated amortization of plants
and equipment certified to be
necessary for the current emer-
gency. Instead of the usual Is
to 40-year period of depreciation
for tax purposes, the entire cost
could be recovered tax free
within a period of five years.
9. SECTION lit O-Since
1912 the tax law has contained
a ''heads I win, tails you lose"
provision in favor of a taxpayer
who sells property used in his
trade or business. If the sale re-
suits in a profit, it is taxed as a
capital gain. If it results in a
loss, the loss is treated as a fully
deductible ordinary loss. The
Treasury has estimated this
loophole as costing about 70 mil
lion dollars.
10. LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANIES-At a time when other
individual and corporate tax
payers are overburdened, life
insurance companies paid no
taxes on income for 1947, 1948
and 1949. This results from a
technical error in the Revenue
Act of 1912. The Committee Bill
would in effect grant a 5O-mil-
lion-dollar tax melon to the life
insurance industry by striking
out the provisions in the House
and 1913 tax liabilities.

IL. FOREIGN SUBSIDIAR-

have closed a loophole in the ex-
listing law under which domestic
corporations can liquidate SUBJ
salaries operating abroad (such
as oil companies), and bring
back tax-free profits that never
passed through the Federal in
come tax stream. The Commit
tee bill would retain this glaring
loophole.
