Tax Program Accord Sought by House Subcommittees
Washington March 12 AP Under secrecy House Ways and Means subcommittees labored toward a tax on undistributed corporate profits to meet Roosevelt's 670 million revenue target while leaving cushion reserves. A sliding scale from 15 to 50 percent was studied with various Treasury schedules proposing cushion provisions without lowering yield. Aiming for rates up to 75 percent on higher surpluses, proposals included 15 percent on the first ten percent in surplus and higher rates beyond, with banks and insurers likely exempted to limit revenue loss.
