Revision faces house tax bill before senate
Washington, May 28. The senate finance committee agreed on the framework of a drastic revision of the house tax bill and moved to fill in structural details quickly to gain congressional adjournment in a fortnight. A Treasury estimate put the yield at 560 million dollars in permanent revenue. A half cent per pound sugar excise was studied to bring in 66 million and lift total beyond 620 million asked by the President to finance the farm program and prepayment of the bonus. A subcommittee was named to study the sugar tax, but the chairman indicated he would report the bill for floor insertion if accepted. Final committee action hoped for Monday, though two or three more days were seen as likely. Senate leaders aimed to finish by June 6.
