WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (By

bers of both parties today as the
tax reduction bill was subjected
to seven more hours of debate.
For the second day, adeclsion
went, over on the- provision In the
bill for repeal of thtf section ot the
present law allowing publication
of amounts of tax payments and
Chairman S moot of the finance
committee announced he would

countering with a motion to de
clare the full returns public rec
ords, instead of merely the
amounts paid, held ' the floor
throughout the day and while the

more than a score of technical

never been subjected to public re
