Washington March 21 A dispute over potential revenue in the new tax bill arose among house members. Some backers urged reinstating the eliminated tax on closely held corporations, saying its removal would cut revenue by about 40 million dollars. Even with it, the bill would still yield about 322 million less than the current law’s 3.38 billion. House action on liquor tax and pork taxes shaped debate, with estimates varying by source.
