Excess Profits
Tax Plan Scored
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. (AP)
Senator Clark (I)., Mo.) charged
at a (ax hearing today that a pend
ing excess profits levy was "sugar
coating" for a plan to permit "mu
nitions plants" to deduct defease
expansion costs from their taxable
earnings.
Ilia expansion amortization plan
anil, a tax of 25 to 40 per cent on
excess profits have been combined
Into a simple piece of legislation on
which senate and house committees
started holding hearings yestenl-iy.
( lark made his comment alter
John I.. Sullivan, assistant treasury
secretary, had told the Joint com
mittee' that the tax proposed would
yield a net Increuse of tlUO.OOO.onO
in taxi's the government collects on
1940 corporation income.
Tho treasury. Sullivan explalucL
figured the direct yield would be
$226,000,000 of which $35,000,000
would be offset by a loss In ludivii
ual income taxes due to smaller
dividends to stockholders. For the
years after 1940, Sullivan said, the
treasury estimated the excess prof
its tax net yield would be 1 100,-
ooo.ooo to siKo.noo.ooo.
: "When the president proposes
spending four or flvn billion dol
lars every time he gels hack from
a weekend." Clark said to Sulli
van. "1190.000.000 Is a drop in the
bucket, Isn't It?"
Sullivan suld It was "small Item"
in the total budget picture.
Chirk then declared that tho tax
wns "sugar-coating to get the nub
ile, to swullow tho amortization
plan for munitions plants."
House tax leaders had decided to
try to pass tho new excess profit
tax bill within a week, In order to
knock out tho bottlenecks whl-h
manufacturers say have been im
peding defense production.
Chairman Doughton (I)., N. C.) of
Ihe wavs and means committee
said malor nnpnslllon lo the pro
gram had fnllr-l to ilevelon.

tion with the program notlfvlng

Joseph W. Martin, republican
chairman, ronllcil In a statement :
"Kd I'iynn'n statement that 'the
Klwonil notllicntlon cotumlllee lor
Willlile for president Is putting out
a hoik at $1,000 a page' Is abso
lutely untrue and without any basis
in fact."
A local group in Klwonil, Martin
said, thought up (lie Idea and
"without any authority whatever,
used my name as 'honorary chair
man1 on the letterheads making
such sollcllallons." The republican
national committee, he said, stoo

tended that enactment of the com
pulsory service bill would mean
the establishment of an army "so
large that it will stagger the Ima
gination of all us."
Ilurke replied warmly this was
"one of the most serious miscon
ceptions" of opponents of the bill.
He added that present plans were
to call only 400.000 for training
this fall and a like number next
spring, out of the 12,00(1.000 men
from 21 through 30 who would be
required to register.
After n year's service, these
men would be liable to only 30
days renewal training each year,
he said.
'Those men would not be made
professional soldiers by the fact
that they were taken for a year's
training," Hurke asserted.
"If that doesn't mean a lame
standing army, I don't know what
you would call It." Norrls retort

Senator Vandonberg (H., Mich.)
sa4d he was unwilling to vote to
"tear up tho 150-year tradition"
of voluntary recruiting unless it
was demonstrated that "a reason
ably established, positive notional
emergency can be served and sav
ed in no other way."
At the other end or the capital
the house delayed action on the
senate hill authorizing the presi
dent to call Into active service the
national guard and army reserves
In order to study debt-moratorium
provisions submitted by ihe war
department. These amendments were offer
ed in the form of separate legisla
tion and some members said there
was a possibility they might be
dove tailed Into the guard bfll.
The departments proposal said
at the outset It was Intended to
provide for suspension of "civil
liabilities" In order to enable
those who enter military service
"to devote t,helr entire energy to
