Foundations Tax Proposal Opposed
Washington AP Congress opened hearings on tax reform and debated whether private foundations should lose part of their tax exemption. Rep Wright Patman urged a 20 percent tax on investment income, while Carnegie Corp president Alan Pifer backed self regulation and cautioned against government control. He supported limits on self dealing and related transactions and said foundations may support unpopular or failing experiments but also successful efforts like Social Security principles developed by Carnegie. Patman argued for reform not destruction and proposed capping privately controlled foundations to 3 percent of a business’s stock and mandating annual distribution of net income for charity.
