NAM Calls Profits Tax Unsound as Senate Talks
The National Association of Manufacturers repeats that the excess profits tax is bad and inflationary while the Senate Finance Committee moves toward rapid approval. NAM proposes a corporation defense tax as a flat percentage increase to ordinary income tax instead. NAM chief Charles R. Sligh Jr. warns it would spare small and growing firms from harm.

Tax plan aims 75 percent levy on big profits
The proposal would tax earnings above five percent of a firm's average parastate profits for 1946 to 1949, with a 75 percent rate yielding about 3.4 billion. Normal income taxes up to 45 percent apply to profits not in the excess category.
