Raleigh, April 15 —When the re venua bill comes back to the House again Tuesday night from the special sub-committee named to write a new scales tax section, it is xpected to contain a sort of hybrid sales tax plan. It may have the head of a hound and the tail of a mongrey, but indi cations are that it will be more of a general sales tax than a commodity tax, although it is pretty definitely assured that the tax rates on certain articles will be higher than those on necessities. It is also generally be lieved that, the more necessary ar ticles of food and clothing, such as bread, meat, flour and the cheaper shoes and clothing will be exempt from tho tax. But while the name by wnich it will be designated will pro bably not contain the term “general sales tax” the plan evolved is expect ed to be much more like the general sales tax plan recommended by the finance committee than like the se lected commodities tax plan that was rejected by such a large vote in the House Thursday afternoon. Will Back Committee. The general feeling in informed cir cles here today is that the House will accept whatever plan the special com mittee submits to it Tuesday night, provided the plan will raise the amount of revenue required to bal ance the budget.
