VOLUME 2—NUMBER 128 PARTY LEADERS IN HOT BATTLE OVER TAX BILL ENACTMENT IS SUBJECT OF MAJOR FIGHT IN COMMITTEE i» WASHINGTON, May 28 (TP) The Senate Finance committee reached an impasse this after noon on the tax bill and ad journed without reaching a set tlement. The postponement threatens to prevent Congress from adjourning by June 6. How ever, Democrats on the commit tee are meeting among them selves this afternoon in hopes of breaking the deadlock on the revenue controversy. WASHINGTON, May 28 (TP) Administration forces and an insur tent group in the mate finance com mittee will come to grips today in vhat is xepected to be a knock-down tnd-drag-out battle over the new tax MU. Vote Stern Today Today’s session of the committee is dat'd to bring a vote on whether the tommittee should accept its tentative •ompromis? tax bill, or whether Presi dent Roosevelt’s corporate tax recom mendations should be injected into the bill. The president urged adoption of stiff corporate surplus taxes in an effort to boost the bill’s revenue to tal nearer the $800,000,000, the White House asks for the coming fiscal year. Republicans have been joined by •everal Democratic insurgents in op posing the recommendations voiced by Preaident Roosevelt at Tuesdaj night’s White House conference. The com bined group hopes to beat administra tion forces today when the president’s supporters in the committee call for a revision of the corporate surplus tax specificsilons in the measure. Two New Plans The president's requests are con tained in two n:w plans, submitted by Marriner S. Eccles, chairm.: n of the Federal Reserve boad, and Sena tor Black of Alabama. In place of the committee’s tentative proposal to apply a flat 18 per cent corporation income tax and a 7 p:r cent tax on corporation earnings, the Eccles plan would call for corporate surplus taxes running from 25 to 40 per c:nt, in Addition to 12 1-2 to 151-2 per cent torporation income taxes. The Blick plan is similar to the Eccles plan, calling for corporate surplus taxes running from 15 to 40 per cent, and a corporate income tax of from 12 1-2 to 15 per ©ent. Both plana, according to early pre dictions, are due to be scrapped to day. However, those who oppose the president’s tax recomm ndations fear that the Eccles and Black plans will lead to other similar proposals which may get the committee’s final nod.

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1936 BORAH TO MAKE BITTER ATTACK IN TALK TONIGHT IDAHO SOLON DEPLORES EXISTING G. 0. P. SITUATION WASHINGTON, May 28 (TP) Idahos Senator William E. Borah will step before a microphone tonight to fire his parting shot in the pre convention Republican Presidential campaign. Supporters of the Idaho Liberal hope that Borah will live up to ru mors that he is ready to “blow the lid off" the G. O. P. situation. Reports that Borah’s address would center on a bitter attack cn Governor Alf Lan don appear only partially true. The Idaho Senator has indicated that he will not mention Landon by name, but will rip into the conservative, monied interests which, he maintains, will doom Republican hopes if they get control of the Cleveland convention. Although Borah has carefully skirt ed any mention of Landon in his campaign addresses, he is generally re garded to believe that the Kansas Governor at least is not militantly antagonistic to the party faclons which Borah is fighting tooth and nail. Tonight’s speech will be Borah’s last before he heads for Cleveland and his struggle to grasp a slice of authority at the G. O. P. national parley.
