Treasury official urges retention of undistributed profits tax
Roswell Magill undersecretary of the Treasury urged the Senate finance committee to keep the undistributed profits tax as a safeguard against tax avoidance. He said the House plan would exempt 88 percent of 1936 taxed corporations and supported targeted relief for closely held firms. He opposed higher liquor taxes and a pork import tax, arguing they yield little revenue and are undesirable.

Move To Exempt Specific Agency Defeated
Washington March 22 Administration leaders beat off the first move in the Senate to exempt a federal agency from the executive reorganization bill. They defeated 50 to 33 as Senator Pittman sought to prevent transfer of the Forest Service to the Interior Department. Senator Hatch sided with the amendment for the first time but opposed further exemptions. Senator Clark offered to exempt the Veterans Bureau, while Senator Johnson read a telegram from AFL President Green opposing enacting the bill and urging committee referral for hearings. President Green suggested shelving the measure for the session.
