Senate Cloture Moves War Tax Debate on Profits
The Senate, amid war tax wrangling, considers cloture to limit debate and speed passage. An amendment by Senator Simmons would raise the war profits levy to 1.06 billion, bringing total taxes to about 2.522 billion dollars. The house zone system for second class postage is replaced by Senator McKellar's plan raising 12.6 million, with further moves to strike the section and keep current rates.
