the Chief Justice is the head of

that applying the general rule to

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland said today that if the
Senate judiciary Committee de-
cides it wants an FBI report ON
Chief Justice Warren before con-
firming him for that high post,
he sees no reason why they
should not have it.
There is no question in my
mind that the Chief Justice can
stand up well on any kind of a

Senator.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of asking for
such report was raised in the

Deferred Tax Plan
For Liquor, tobacco
Excuses Is Studied
By Robert K. Welsh


to replace the present system of
collecting excuses by advance
purchase of revenue stamps on
tobacco and LIQUOR is favored by
the House Ways and Means
Committee despite a probable
flag" of millions of dollars in
Treasury receipts.
Although approval has not yet
been announced, it was learned
today that the committee has
agreed to give the Secretary of
the Treasury discretionary au-
thority to put such a plan into
effect after January l, 1855.
Treasury officials repeatedly
are not enthusiastic about the
proposal but might decide to put
weekly deferred payment plan
into effect some time in 1855.
1t Is believed unlikely that it
would start operating before the
start OF the fiscal year next July
/. In any event it would hinge on
the general fiscal condition and
the daily cash balance situation
in the Treasury.
$12 Million Collected Daily.
The committee. members dis
closed. was informed that about
$12 million a day is collected
from the tobacco and liquor in
oustrles under the present sys-
tenn of revenue stamps paid for
In advance. Under the deferred
tax plan proposal, the companies
would pay such excuses a week
or month later.
The tobacco industry in gen.
eral. according to committee
members, suggests that payment
OF the tax be made on a month
after the taxable tobacco prod
ucts are withdrawn from bond.
But the committee, as we'll as
Treasury experts, feels that the
deferred payment period should
not exceed q week.
Under weekly deferred tax
return system the lag" in pay
ments to the Treasury would be
about S84 million, on the basis
OF the Sl2 million now collected
each day through the prepaid
stamp arrangement. Similarly
a monthly deferred tax return
system would mean a lag of ap-
proXimately $3.50 million during
the first fiscal year.
Plans Working Shown.
The lag" while not neces-
saflly a loss to the Government
OF a windfall to the industries
would work this way in typical
cases. committee members ex-
planned:
Having purchased stamps in
advance, the companies could
apply them to the first week of
operation of the deferred paw
ment system. On the first tax
payment date at the end of the
hrst week they would owe no tax.
The next tax payment date would
not come until the end of the
second week. AS far as the Gov
eminent was concerned, there
would be the temporary loss of a
tax payday at the end of the
hrst week. On the basis of the
present S12 million a day from
prepaid stamp collections. that
Would amount to S84 million.
Exact details of any such de-
1erred payment have not been
worked out by the committee
winch spent several hours yes
terday studying voluminous pro-
posals for revising administrative
sections of the law relating to
taxation of alcoholic beverages
and tobacco.
The committee was told there
are some differences of opinion
between manufacturers of cigar
cites and other tobacco prod
ucts as to some aspects of the
deferred payment plan.
