Senate leaders seek tax bill delay to March 15
Chairman Smoot of the Senate Finance Committee proposed delaying the tax bill until March 15 to obtain definite information from this year's returns. He asked Secretary Mellon if the delay would inconvenience the treasury as it seeks to settle revenue projections. The aim is to resolve the dispute over expected income for next year with the treasury opposing a larger reduction than the House approved. If approved, Smoot would shift focus to the alien property bill after the holidays.
