B! COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON, June 29 (Pi
rax revision legislation miena
ed to improve the cash position
o( business and industry ay o
D00.000.000 in the reconversion
period was approved today by
the house ways and means com
mittee. The measure raises the ex
emption under excess profits tax
from $10,000 to $25,000, but
makes no other material change
in ultimate tax obligations of
corporations.
Efforts to broaden the leg
islation to cut individual tax
burdens were defeated.
The legislation i s designed
principally to make more casn
available to business and in
' dustry to hasten reconversion,
by speeding up payment on 10
per cent rebates due under the
95 per cent excess proms levy
and other payments.
The five specific provisions
of the bill are:
1. Increase the excess-profits-tax
specific exemption from
$10,000 to $25,000. Effective
beginning with the tax year
1946.
2. Provide that the postwar
credit of 10 per cent of the
excess profits tax be taken cur
rently with respect to tax lia
bilities of 1944 and subsequent
years.
3. Advance to January 1,
1946, the maturity date of out
standing excess-profits-tax post
war refund bonds.
4. Speed-up of refunds result
ing from carry-backs of net op
erating losses and of unused
excess-profits credits. .
5. Hasten refunds resulting
from the recomputation of de
ductions for amortization of
emergency facilities.
The committee wrote in two
amendments by Rep. Carlson
(R-Kas.), one providing that re
organized railroads should be
treated like old railroads in
the carryback provisions of the
tax law, and the other provid
ing that corporations working
on a fiscal year instead of a
calendar year basis should get
credit for the increased excess
profits exemption for the part
of their fiscal year falling with
in the calendar year 1946.

moned Mrs. Palmore eagerly to

Syndicate's Plans Upset
By Truman, PI Reveals
SEATTLE. June 29 (JP)
President Truman's apparent ap
proval of construction oi a nign
wav linklne Alaska and the
Pacific northwest has upset plans
of a large eastern syndicate
representing 'refugee capital
to purchase the Pacific Great
Eastern railway in British Co
lumbia and extend it to Fair
banks, Alaska, the Post-Intel
lieencer said today.
In Washington, D. C, last
nisht. the promoters were meet
ing and gravely weighing the
possibility that the nlgnway
might attract enough tonnage to
hurt seriously a railway to
Alaska," the paper said.
The railway is owned by
British Columbia and runs from
USE TAX STAMPS
TO BE DISPUTED
Beginning Sunday, July 1,
the new federal use tax stamps
must be displayed in the upper
left-hand corner of the wind
shield of any motor vehicle in
operation, it was announced by
Paul H. Wright, deputy collector
in charge of the local internal
revenue office.
Saturday noon. June 30. is the
deadline for purchasing the
stamps at the main post office.
However, the post ottice station,
located in the Lee Hendricks'
drug store, 2212 S. 6th, will
make sales of the stickers until
9 p. m. Saturday evening.
Internal revenue deputies
throughout the state will begin
an enforcement checkup after
July 1, Wright states, and any
vehicle found operating after
that date will be tagged if the
new stamD is not properly dis
played. In these cases, the own
er will be liable to a minimum

"It is reliably reported that
promoters can draw on from
$150,000,000 to $200,000,000
worth of refugee capital and that
they had prepared plans not only
for the acquisition and extension
of the Pacific Great Eastern but
also for the development of com
mercial enterprises in Alaska
and the Peace river country
which would insure traffic for
the railroad," the article con
tinued. The newspaper said It learned
In a telephone call with one of
the promoters "who asked that
his name not be disclosed," that
plans had progressed, before the
president's attitude . became
known, to a point where the
syndicate was preparing to lay
the project before Premier John
Hart of British Columbia.
Promoters contacted the U. S.
bureau of roads, the article said,
and were told the highway in all
"probability would be located
along the same route in which
the railway was projected, the
B or Rocky mountain trench
route."
