DETROIT. Aug. 26.--The auto

Profits Tax Baekers
Seen Losing Ground
In Controls Bill Fight
BY the Assoela,sd Press

Advocates Of an immediate ex-
cess profits tax on corporations
lost some ground today because
of a move to knock price and
wage fixing provisions out OF the
economic controls bill.
Chairman George of The Sen.
ate Finance Committee said q
super tax on business profits
would set off q spiral OF imitation
unless wages and prices are con-
trolled.
Moreover, Scuttling the proposed
wage-price controls would re.
move one Of the strorg argu.
ments of excess profits tax pro.
ponents. They contend that II
there are to be wage-price CELL
ings. there should be a lid. too,
on profits.
Passage Predicted.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,
OF Wyoming told newsmen ne still
Is confident the excess profits tax
will be pinned to the 81, sos. 900 900
general tax increase bill.
But Senator George said he is
confident that the bill will pass
the Senate substantially In its
present form, without the excess
profits feature or other major
change.
Meanwhile. the Senate entered
n weekend truce In It's bitter
hattie on the proposal by SEN
a5ors o'Mahoney. Democrat Of
Wyoming and Connally, Demo-
crat Of Texas. to impose an s5
per cent levy on corporation earn
.ngs above what they defined AZ
normal profits" They want this
super levy made applicable as Of
last July /.
Higher Bracket Formula.
The IS per cent rate, under
their proposal. would apply to
profits 80 per cent above q COR
poration's average profits for the
four years l946-49. plus $4,000.
The big battle In the Senate
is not whether there should be
an excess profits tax. but how
and when it should be applied.
Senator George wants to take it
up as a second installment" tax
raiser later. to be effective as Of
January /. 1851.
He insists that such a tax law
cannot be written hastily with
out risk Of hurting the general
economy. Senator O'Mahoney's
group contends. however, that big
defense expenditures require it,
prompt enactment.
If put into force now. without
wage and price controls, Senator
George said. an excess profits tax
would cause an orgy Of waste,
with corporations spending freely
to cut down their tax bills.
But Senator O'Mahoney argued
that the tax would curb. not pro-
mote. infiation-and would crack
down on "proflteers."
The Senate will resume Its tax
debate Monday.

'Conferees Meet AGAIN
On Compromise in
Control Measure

Members Of q Senate House
Conference Committee today
sought to work out a compromise
to keep wage-price rationing au-
thority In a home front mobiliza-
ton bill.
The conferees were deadlocked
on the issue after lengthy meet
ings yesterday. and this led to
suggestions that such authority
may be dropped entirely from the
control bill.
The committee is trying to set
tie differences between separate
control bills passed by the Senate
and House.
Major Differences in Bills.
House members were reported as
insisting on a provision giving
President Truman authority to
impose selective controls. The
Senate measure calls for the Presi-
dent to put wage and price con-
trolls into effect at the same time
and virtually on everything IL they
are invoked at all.
This is the major difference be-
tween the two bills. Both would
provide credit controls, ALLEGATION
of scarce materials needed In the
defense effort and a Federal loan
program to spur defense produc-
ton.
When the House members re-
fused to give up their provision
calling for selective controls, the
Senators voted on dropping their
"all or nothing" proposal. This
was defeated on a tie vote OF 4 to
4 as Senator Robertson. Democrat,
of Virginia. deserted administra-
tion forces and voted for the Sem
ate provision.
May Introduce New Bill.
He had opposed the provision
in the Senate but said he changed
mis- mind after seeing that "a
majority of the Senate was against
selective controls"
Senator Maybank, Democrat, of
South Carolina. chief OF the
Senate conferees, said that II no
compronlise can be worked mt
he would favor eliminating the
wage-price control section Of the
bill. II that were done. Senator
Maybank then would introduce q
new bill calling for separate ac-
ton on the wage-price issue
later.
Meanwhile. the stripped down
bill carrying the control authority
Mr.. Truman did ask for could
go on to the White House.
