Official Says
m' WASHINGTON, March H-p)-A
recommendation for "substan
tial reduction ; of the burden of
taxation" was placed before con
gress today as a means of accel
erating postwar! employment and
industry." V I
: Edward P. Palmer of the US
chamber of commerce told the
house postwar j policy committee
an overall revision of taxes is most
desirable for the nation's economy.
"We must face the fact, however,-
he continued, "that if high
rates by reason of absolute gov
ernment necessities are to con
tinue in the postwar period, some
expedients may be necessary as
, for instance preferential treatment
i of new capital investments."
He urged that local, state and
j federal governments blueprint
now a postwar program of public
works -to help occupy the con
struction, industry. He suggested,
however, 'that federal financing
go oolto- those projects which
have a direct federal government
connection and that other work

Spell on Job
WASHINGTON. March 14 -UP
Senator McKellar (D-Tenn) suf
fered, a fainting spell today after
a floor attack on the Tennessee
valley authority's revolving fund
and the senate recessed until to
morrow.
The sudden illness of the 76-
year-old acting chairman of the
appropriations committee delayed
passage of the $3,150,000,000 inde
pendent offices aporoDriations bilL
A short time before, McKellar
formally abandoned his effort to
amend the measure to require that
the TV A pay all of its Dower and
fertilizer receipts into the treas
ury and operate exclusively on
congressional appropriations.
Since it would reauire a two
thirds senate majority to add this
legislation to an appropriations
bill, McKellar said, he has decid
ed to offer the proposal as a sepa
rate, bill requiring only a major
ity vote for passage.
It will be introduced in a day
or two, ne said, and require every
agency to pay ail of its receipts
into the treasury's general fund.
