It also calls for scrapping capital gains taxes except for securities traders, revising the Wagner Act, and easing SEC rules to spur capital issues. The proposal, by Donald R. Cotton and Henry Morse, sought pledges to add 1 million payroll jobs, but missed a House Ways and Means hearing and awaits later consideration.
