Washington June 13 Senate finance committee members suggested today miscellaneous taxes to raise more than 240 million dollars yearly including a cent a bottle soft drink levy added to the defense revenue measure passed by the house.

The bill would raise admissions exemptions from 40 to 30 cents while Harrison urged a sliding scale starting at 10 cent admissions instead of the present 10 percent levy on admissions over 40 cents.
