Tax Collections Off, Reason for Deficit Public Work Tax Plan to See Changes WASHINGTON, Jun 1. (AP) With some changes likely In the house income tax Increases, the senate finance committee will undertake tomorrow A rewriting of the administration's Industrial recovery public works-tax bill. After final public arguments to day brought a sharp clash in the views of steel and labor Interests, Chairman Harrison said the com mittee would get down to the Job ot revising quickly and that the house tax program to finance the $3,200,000,000 bond issue for public works probably would be among the sections modified. Harrison did not indicate, how ever, the specific changes the com mittee had in mind. Robert P. Lamont. president of the American Iron and Steel in stitute and former secretary of commerce, told the committee to day the section permitting work ers to Join any labor anion they choose and barring employers from requiring employes to Join company unions was too Indefin ite and open to misinterpretation.

Partners also were allowed to withdraw voluntarily. The long-guarded partnership papers were placed into the record by Ferdinand Pecora, committee Investigator, over the protest of John W. Davis, Morgan counsel, after the committee members so determined in closed session. Ooold- Have Sold For 122 Millions Just before the partnership ar ticles were made public, one of the partners George Whitney had agreed that on 1929 prices the banking house could have sold Its united corporation holdings at a profit of $122,508,000.
