March 9.-(P)-Democratic members of the house ways and means committee were reported tonight to have reached an "understanding" to proceed with a corporate tax revision which would embrace a provision permitting1 industry to build up depression reserves. Controversy over President Roosevelt's tax program has cen tered largely on whether a high tax on undistributed corporate earnings might not prevent indus try from acquiring a "cushion" in profitable years to tide it over during hard times. The democrats, meeting in se cret caucus, were understood to have reached no formal agree ment. Committeemen asserted pri vately, however, that among a majority of the members it was understood the taxation subcom mittee should draft a report em bracing the presidential sugges tions but including some provision for the "cushion." Some added that it was under stood the subcommittee would not resort to new processing taxes if It were possible, without them, to come anywhere near the $792, 000,000 in annual revenue re quested by tbe president. - Gregory Seeking To Line Up Slate Former Mayor P. M. Gregory Is scouting the city for suitable can didates for the nine council and three water commissions to be voted on at the May election, he said yesterday. "I'll never run for another of fice that doesn't pay a salary." he said when he was asked if h9 might seek one of the open city positions. "I can't afford to. But I am combing the city for the pro per commissioners and city coun cilmen." Gregory vigorously denied rum ors that he hoped to receive the appointment as manager of the city water department following the election of commissioners fa vorable to him. ' "That would be too good to be true," Gregory declared. "It had never entered my mind. I have other lines of endeavor that I fig ure on being occupied with." Gregory now contends that city water bond funds should be ex pended only for enlarging present water mains within the city and not for either an Improved source of supply or a new reservoir.
