House Passes Tax Revision Bill With One No Vote
Washington June 20 4 The House approved a business tax revision bill by 358 to 1 to repeal the undistributed profits tax and extend excise levies for two years. Rep Tinkham of Massachusetts opposed excise taxes and offered no concessions to corporations. Senators move to sign by weekend to avoid revenue lapse, as the nuisance levies would raise about 650 million annually. The bill likely passes to President Roosevelt with minimal changes.
