Tax Bill AssaiIed
In Substitute Program
Presented 10 Congress

Congress today had before it 6
statement that the pending ST.:
billion tax increase bill is prob
ably the most badly devised ia,
measure in our history" and 9
proposed substitute program in.
Guiding a manufacturers excise
tax.
The statement and program
came from the Committee on Fed
eral Tax Policy. This is headed by
Roswell Magill, Undersecretary oi
the Treasury in 1887 and 1898
and now a member of the New
York law firm of Cravath, Swain
g. Moore.
The committee issued a 32-page
study of the tax problem. It said
that "only clean-slate approach
can lead to a tax structure that
will raise the needed funds with
cut imposing crushing burdens on
the economy"
Hits Individual Rate.
Additional income from individ-
ual income taxes should be OBJ
tanned from a general rate in
crease, the committee maintained.
1t opposed the House measure
to get more taxes by adding a
l2h per cent levy on the amount
of the individuals present tax.
The committee also opposes an
increase in the corporate tax rate,
unless the excess profits tax is re-
pealed, except as last resort.
It points out that corporate tax
liabilities are already more than
SO per cent of corporate income
and the Nation must maintain
incentive to achieve maximum
production.
Increases Held Illogical.
The House increases In taxes on
automobiles, gasoline. cigarettes
and liquor would make more il
logical the already discrimina-
tory group of excise taxes, ac-
cording to the committee. In
stead, the committee recommends
q uniform excise tax at the man.

food, clothing and shelter It be-
fieves the Government should OBJ
tain Is per cent of it's revenue in
this way, instead of the 20 per
cent obtained from excises in
fiscal 1850.
In addition to Mr.. Magill the
Committee on Federal Tax Policy
includes Walter Cooper of the
accounting firm of Peat, Warwick,
Mitchell & Co.: Fred r. Fairchild.
professor emeritus of economics of
Yale; Rowland r. Hughes. con-
troller, National City Bank Of

Virginia Parks Held
Al Stake in Race Fiqh'
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

Battle warned today that abolition
Rof segregation in State parks
might result in the abandonment
of the park program in Virginia.
The Governors remark was ir
answer to questions about case
filed in Federal District Court ir
Norfolk yesterday.
Four Negroes petitioned the
court for permission to use Sea-
shore State Park, a recreation
area for whites in Princess Anne
County.
Gov. Battle said the State was
attempting to provide comparable
park facilities for Negroes. He
cited the establishment of a Negro
park in Prince Edward County
where, he said, facilities have
been provided which are probably
more adequat- and certainly more
expensive than those of any other
park in the State"
He added the Commonwealth is
exploring the possibilities of pro-
viding certain arees witt, fe "'''-' = !.
for Negroes in other sections o1
the State" He declined to spe-,-.
which areas.
If, he continued, "the Federal
court should hold that our very
sincere efforts in that direction
are not sufficient and that al
parks must be operated on q non.
segregated basis, such a holding
might result in the abandonment
Of the park program in Virginia.

News Guild Proposes
Federal Loans for
Building Paper Mills
BY the Associoied Press

PITTSBURGH, June 28.-The
CIO-American Newspaper Guild
yesterday urged the Federal Gov
ernment to lend money at low in
terest rate to United States manu-
facturers interested in setting up
paper mills to provide domestic
Inewsprint at reasonable prices.
Delegates to the ANG"s 18th
annual convention unanimously
passed a resolution which accused
"the newsprint monopoly" with
driving American newspapers to
the wall by its extortionate price
policies.
The resolution contended
American output of newsprint
could be doubled or tripled by
suitable manufacturing facilitit S
and made this recommendation:
"The American Newspaper Guild
urges our Federal Government to
make money available to private
interests. at particularly low in
tereSt rates. for the purpose of de-
veloping newsprint plants which
viii be able to supply American
publishers with adequate supplies
of newsprint at a fair price"
Another resolution given the
unanimous support of some $50
delegates called for extension and
STRENGTHENING of the National De-
fense Production Act, which ex-
pires June 80.
Delegates also resolved to hold
national conferences with other
newspaper unions and with pub
fishers associations where danger
of merger or failure (of new spa
pers) exist to the end that, by a
meeting of minds, ways and means
may be devised to keep American
newspapers alive and, by so doing,
to keep Guild members work.
