Treasury officials and House
Ways and Means Committee
members prepared for q show
down today on whether any one
in the administration tried to sill
ence businessmen who oppose
President Eisenhower's move for
extension Of the excess-profitS
tax
The committee called Under
secretary of the Treasury Marion
B. Folsom for questioning tomcr-
row, mainly about the reasons
why representatives of the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers suddenly cancelled
scheduled appearance as wit
nesses today. NAM directors sew
eral months ago urged that the
tax be allowed to die June 80.
Letter Is Disclosed.
After an earlier verbal tussle
with Secretary Of the Treasury
Humphrey. the committee ex-
ploded a bombshell late yester-
day by disclosing an NAM let
ter dated May 20 to association
members and containing the fol-
lowing statement:
"The administration has urged
this association, along with a
number Of other organizations,
to either remain neutral or sup
port the extension of the excess
profits tax to December 81 as
recommended by President
Eisenhower"
This prompted Representative
Mills Of Arkansas, a Democratic
member of the committee, to de-
clare Treasury authorities may
well" have violated the law.
Reed Threatens Action.
It caused Committee Chair
man Reed, Republican, of New
York, a leading opponent of the
excess profits tax extension and
an advocate of an individual in
come tax cutback June 80 in
stead Of December 81, to ex-
claim:
IF I find out that they have
been violating the law I will
turn the matter over to the De-
partment of Justice"
Mr.. Mills explained to re-
porters that he was not accusing
anyone Of anything. He said
he was referring not merely to
