BURKE , United Press International i WASHINGTON (UPU Some tax relief was on the way today for small businessmen, theater goers, sports fans, whisky-makers, and parochial schools. 1 But heavier levies will soon be imposed on others,, including buy ers of record players. These are among the millions of taxpayers and consumers whose pocketbooks will bo affect ed'by; a vast, technical overhaul of- excise' and income taxes on which a Senate-House conference committee 1, reached - agreement Wednesday night, i t The two - compromise bills re conciling differences between Sen ate and House bills will togethsr produce a net loss of about 300 million dollars a year in federal revenue-. .. . , . , Passage -Seems Certain The- bill revising excise taxes about .400 pages thick was. slated for final House approval today. It would trim about 42 million dollars from the nearly 10 billion - dollars which the ' federal government "collects annually from taxes on the manufacture and sale of goods and services. ; Quick congressional approval also was assured for the 'second bill containing numerous changes in income tart laws. Its principal feature is a 260 million dollar pro gram of, "fringe benefit" tax re lief for small business. - The bill also would' plug up loopholes for some taxpayers and create new tax advantages for others. Congressional tax experts said botli bills were assured of the President's signature.' Among its many provisions, tho bulky excise tax bill would: Cut 10 cents off the tax on admissions to theater,1 'movies, baseball and football games and other sporting events and enter tainment costing $1.00 or imore. Older Whisky Coming Alter the drinking habits of many Americans by putting on the market for tho first time Am erican whisky which lias been aged longer than eight years. Present law makes this prohibi tively expensive becauso it re quires that whisky-makers must pay the $10.50 a gallon tax on aging liquor whenever it becomes eight years old. ' Exempt parochial and other nonprofit schools or colleges from payment of excise taxes on- goods they buy or on their telephone or transportation servicos. The ' lax savings, -amounting to three mil lion dollars-a year, would take effect next July 1. Impose a new 10 per cent1 tax on record1 players and a new 5 per cent tax on oil and gas opera ted incinerators. - Repeal the 20 per cent tax on club dues and initiation fees of members of community swimming pools and ice and roller skating rinks, retroactive to last Jan. 1. The - income tax revision - bill contained a five-point program of tax relief for small business, of which tho main' benefit was a more liberal allowance for depreciation. Ike Ridicules.
