Senate leaders inch toward tax bill amid bond tax clash
Washington Sept 17 Senate leaders said a row over taxing governmental securities stood as the only major hurdle to passage of an excess profits tax bill which would boost the corporate income tax by 3.1 percent. Bipartisan support was forecast to defeat the bond tax proposal and push the bill to a Thursday vote.

A recess for Speaker Bankhead’s death postponed further debate until Wednesday.
