Chairman Gardner Ackley of Johnson's Council of Economic Advisers again urged congressional consideration of the surcharge, saying no figure lower than six per cent would do the job.But the congressional timetable appears to rule out hearings at least until August, even if Johnson were to send to Capitol Hill legislation spelling out his tax proposals—which he has not done.There were indications Johnson, who originally asked for an increase effective Saturday, might be happy to have one six months later.The House Wavs and Means Committee, where all tax legislation must originate, Is nowhere near finished with its consideration of a complex hillother committee members speculate about dates like Aug. 15. Another week or 10 days would be required for House consideration and passage, and the committee would not take up another major measure during this period.Hearings on a tax Increase, if any are held, are likely to he prolonged. Although the administration would like to confine the issue to a simple yes or no on an increase in personal and corporate income taxes, spokesmen for a variety of views will be pressing for a chance to voice them.Ackley, appearing Tuesdaybefore the Senate-House Economic Committee, ran into demands that the administration consider closing loopholes in present tax laws to increase its revenues, rather than seeking an across the board raise.Sen. William Proxmire, D* Wis., committee chairman, said it would be refreshing if the administration proposed a reduction in the oil depletiflp allowance, a perennial target of tax change advocates, but one which has withstood all attacks.Rep. Henry S. Reuss, D-Wis., said the imposition of capita! gains taxes on estates and tightening of tax-exempt provisions on the yield of municipal bonds would vield $3.5 billion awvear. The remainder of the ad-*ministration goal of $5 billion could he achieved readily by other forms of tightening andwithout a general increase, hesaid.House Republican Leader Gerald R Ford of Michigan and GOP congressmen have said they will not support a tax increase unless the budget first has been cut substantially.Title SeekerSAN ANGELO «AP» - Two contestants in the Miss Wool of America Pageant will celebrate their birthdays this week with a $4,160 cakeThe proceeds from the sale will go to Boys Ranch, a favorite San Angelo chanty.The cake was given the contestants w'ho plan a birthday
