Hearings on excess profits tax face GOP substitute clash
Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee refused to hear testimony on a Republican substitute for the $4 billion excess profits tax plan. Rep Reed advocated a 27 percent normal income tax plus 28 percent surtax on excess income over $25,000. NAM chairman Charles J. Sligh Jr testified against excess profits taxation, urging a 38 percent corporate rate with a 20 to 30 percent emergency tax instead. Public hearings run through Wednesday before drafting a bill for the next session.
