Tax on Undistributed
Corporation Profits
By RICHARD L. TURNER

WASHINGTON. —(#)—lncreas
ing talk of a tax on undistributed
corporation profits was heard
Saturday above the clamor of a
growing congressional dispute
over President Roosevelt’s billion
dollar revenue estimates.
. Adding his voice to those of
administration leaders in the sen
ate, Speaker Byrns endorsed such
a profits levy as “just and equita
ble.” He reported that many
members of the house ways and
means committee, which will draft
the tax bill, were in agreement
with him.
Meanwhile, Senator Byrad (D.-
Va.), a critic of some of the New
Deal’'s spending, expressed approv
al of the tax program but called
for a ' constitutional amendment
to make federal, state and muni
cipal bonds subject to taxation.
“Any real reform .of the tax
system must be based upon tax

he said. ' “Without such taxation
