The proposed pact calls for

at existing levels.
But an across the board cut

The committee plans to add
this final ingredient this week
in wrapping up a tax package
that is expected to provide

the total tax savings on profits

The exception will be those
who, under the new schedule,
still find themselves in a tax
bracket of 50 per cent or high

limited to tax relief of 16
per cent on their sale profits.

Mrs. Austin, the widow of
a British naval officer, was
not sighted here. She left her
Milan home a few days ago
saying she was going to St.
Moritz, Switzerland, but Ital

who recently announced his
separation from his wife after
23 years of marriage.
