Excess Profits Tax
Compromise Rumor
Buoys CO. P. Hope
The House Ways and Means

The House Ways and Means
Committee busted itself today
with many things-except the
excess profits tax despite con-
f1dent talk elsewhere Of a COM
promise on the tax extension
issue.
The languishing levy has only
a week to live unless Congress
or more specifically Committee
Chairman Reed-grants Presi-
dent Eisenhower's plea for a six
months continuance beyond
June 80.
Hopes Of the administration
forces took last minute furry.
They scared with high-placed
predictions that something will
happen this week." They seemed
to grow brighter with strong re-
ports Of a compromise offer ap-
parently not yet acted on either
by the White House or Mr.. Reed.
Would Raise Exemption.
This suggestion, advanced by
House Majority Leader Halleck
OF Indiana. would increase the tax
credit provision from $25, 900 to
100000 and thus exempt more
than half Of the $1,000 smaller
corporations that would pay the
tax If extended to the end of
1853.
But the committees chairman
was as firm as ever in refusing
to say when or whether his 25-
member group might vote on
the proposal to extend the ex-
cess profits tax. He merely
noted that the committee was
pretty busy these days.
The Halleck proposal probably
will be taken up with Chairman
Reed by Republican leaders at
their policy conference this
afternoon.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee resumed open hearings
today on proposals relating
to possible eventual changes
in many other types of taxes.
It's staff, meanwhile, was put
ting into shape a "clean" bill
Incorporating revisions discussed
in a day-long closed session yes
terday on the Reciprocal Trade
Act. Some of these revisions,
however, seemed still so contro-
versial that there was no assur-
ance a final bill would get
through the committee.
No Sign of Move.
AS for the excess profits tax
extension, the committee gave
no outward sign of any inside
move, much less revolt, to force
the issue to a vote over Mr..
Reeds opposition.
Informal polls have indicated
a majority Of the committee, in
Guiding several Democrats.
might vote to send bill to the
House floor. The problem, from
the standpoint of extension ad-
vocateS, is to bring the matter
to a vote within the committee
without provoking Mr.. Reeds
wrath or risking future retalia-
tion. Democratic members say
they will not support any Re-
publican attempt to bypass the
chairman's traditional preroga-
tive to put a bill before the COM
mittee. a..
Earlier compromise rumors in
dicated a possible plan whereby
the excess profits tax expiration
and the income tax reduction
would both take effect on some
midway date such as October /.
Chairman Reed is known to
oppose such a compromise.
Treasury officials earlier this
month were not enthusiastic
about the idea. House leaders,
however, limited today they have
not abandoned all hope that
some such settlement might be
worked out if the latest compro-
mise SUGGESTION fails
