Today's decree, which became ef- fl

', At the conchMkm of today's con
ference, Senate members said they
were hopefat that a complete agree
mnt* could be reached tomorrow de
spite th/ slow proper of the first
meeting1. They said that while the
joint group had agreed on a number
of minor items, there had bean no
discussion of the lowered ekgpptions
or at the Senate changes' in House
corporation taxes.
The Senate knocked out a apncal
10 per cent levy the House had im
posed on thngf corporations not earn
ing sufficient profits to come under
the -schedule of excess profits taxes.
The levy was estimate to yield $67,
700,000 a year. The chamber then
voted to increase corporatoin surtaxes
from 5 to 6 per cent on net income
np to $25,000 and from 6 to 7 per
cent on income over that figure. The
increase was estimated by the finance
committee to raise an - additional
$120,500,000 a year.
Senators George (D-Ga) and Walsh
(D-Mass) of the Senate conferees
said the corporation tax change ?i$ght
be the most controversial in the en
*
tire bill. ... .?
ThrriT.gr the day, Acting Speaker
Woodrum (D-Va) made public a tel
egram " from Speaker Rayburn
who is in Texas, saying that all mem
bers of the House should return to
Washington early next week. The
reason, Rayburn said, was that if a
compromise wds worked out by the
joint conference committee it should
be acted en immediately:
The House has been operating un
der an agreemnt that no business
would be transacted before Monday,
and there had been an informal un
derstand that nothing important
would r be considered for another
week after that
It was reported after today's con
ference that a number of excise or
"mdMac^ taxes hid been approved.
Informants declared, however, .. 'that
two of the most important Were still
"up in the air"?a House levy cm soft
drinks, eliminated by the Senate* efr
timsted to raise $22^00,000 annually,
a Senate increase from 5 to 10
per cent on local telephone bills, esti
mated to yield $43^500,000. ?
