TAX BILL DELAY POSSIBILITY VEXES NEW DEAL CHIEFS ADMINISTRATION LEAD ERS ARE WORRIED OVER PROPOSED CHANGES BULLETIN!

Chairman Harrison of the finance committee wheih is considering the bill has been bothered by an eye ail ment. Friends said a blood vessel in one of his eyes had burst. They fear ed that the senator’s trouble may force the tax mediator to retire from the committee for a whle. In spite of the bad eye, the senator from Mis sissippi has gone on with the strenu ous task of getting an agreement on the tax bill. So far, the committee has taken only one definite step. The senators have agreed to include a modified windfall tax in the measure. This provision to regain uncollected pro cessing taxes will bring in about $100,000,000.
