Washington The treasury seeks to forestall numerous tax refund suits by proposing legislation to refund levies collected under the tobacco and potato control acts and the Bankhead cotton act. Federal circuit courts have ruled the Kerr Smith tobacco control act unconstitutional and ordered refunds of taxes paid.
