    Excess Prof its Tax
Approved in House
r WASHINGTON, D e c. 5 JP)
The house tonight passed an "ex
cess profits' tax estimated to
bring in, $4,600,000,000 from cor
porations in 1951.
The levy was approved and
sent to the senate, 378 to 20.
There Senator George (D-Ga),
chairman of the tax-writing fi
nance, committee, told reporters
he expects the measure to reach
the White house for signature in
some form before the New Year.
As approved by the house, the
levy would be retroactive to last
fJuly 1 a few days after the U.
S. got into the Korean war.
During the first 12 months of
its operation it is expected to fall
short of raising the fuU $4,000,
- 000,000 asked by President Tru
man from a tax on "excess" cor
porate profits. But experts of the
house ways and means commit
tee, which framed the measure,
estimated it would produce $4,
600,000,000 in calendar 1951 on
the basis of increased corporate
earnings expected then.
Passage came soon after a sub
stitute tax bill backed by repub
lican policy leaders was defeated,
252 to 145. Only one democrat,
Rep. Kennedy of Massachusetts,
voted for the republican-favored
proposal to shelve the winning
bill for the substitute.
The approved measure provides
a 75 eer cent tax on profits in
excess of what it calls normal. It
defines normal profits as 85 per
cent of average profits for the
best three years in the four-year
period 1946-1949. Profits thus de
fined as normal would be taxable
at the present top corporation in
come levy of 45 per cent.
The substitute backed by re
publican policy leaders proposed
an increase of 45 to 50 per cent
in the tax on normal profits,
which it defined as 100 per cent
of the 1946-1949 average. It pro
posed also a 75 per cent tax on
profits in excess of the average
for those years.

Ask Reds to Stop
At 38th Parallel
By Francis W. Carpenter
LAKE SUCCESS, Dec 5 -(AP)- Thirteen middle
eastern and Asian nations appealed tonight to com
munist China and North Korea to refrain from croaaing
the 3Sth parallel in their power drire against U.N.
force in Korea. The appeal pleaded for time to eon-"
aider of ways to end the criaia in the orient.
The appeal ras transmitted to Wu Ihiu-Chuan, head
of the Communist Chinese delegation now in New York, '
with a request that he send it at once to his government at PeipUg.
The plea was made by the XJM. delegates of India, Afghanistan,
Burma. Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon. Pakistan, the Philip
pines Saudi Arabia Syria and Yemen. The Indonesian an Afghan
acicgaics joinea m ine consultations pending Instructions from thew
governments and added their names to the petition after learning tram

The 13 countries acted as Canada's Lester B. Pearson surjrrrtrd

settle the crisis, and the steering committee of the UJtf. sent the lssv
to the full assembly.
Pearson, Canada's external (foreign) affairs minister, speAking la
