The Democratic members of the committee, who previously had held
. control of the deliberations, imme-
diately went into ‘a ‘huddle with Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N.C) in an effort to find a way to testore their tax JropRgals this afternoon.’
Three Changes Voted

mittee had tentatively fixed at 40 per cent, was increased to: 45. per cent. Nearer Treasury Plan
‘ The new corporation tax proposal while’ not identical ‘to the original proposals of the treasury, were considerably nearer to administration recommendations. i The only. essential difference now

" The decision to throw out the socalled postwar refund, however, automatically increased the net revenue of the tax bill by nearly $900,000,000 and the revision of the corporation tax structure will push the measure | yell over the $6,000,~ 000,000 mark. . + ‘This action copsidopably NAIrows fr $3,000,000,0000 deficiency between the committee’s bill and the treasury’s recommendations. ©

tative bill were offered by Rep. ld H. McClean (R. N: J.), who will offer the motion to strike out income tax collection at the source. Rep. McClean disclosed he will also ask the committee to substitute 8 plan whereby taxpayers will pay their taxes as they earn but not through payroll deductions. Under the McClean plan, taxpayers starting next year would tentatively compute their taxes for the year and then in February pay the taxes on the portion of that income they had earned in January.
