All we TAX MEASURE FACING FIGHT | INTHES SENATE: Senators Oppose Certain Repeal Provisions of the Bill Washington, Jan. 28.—(#)--The tax reduction bill took its place in the senate today facing a fight. Its sponsors plan to keep it ¢ontinuous- ly before the chamber until it is | | passed. By unanimous decision it was made the unfinished business of the senate last night immediately after the fin- al vote on the world court. The measure faces stiff oposition from western senators who have promised a “long fight” against its provisions for repeal of the inheritance tax andj publicity of income tax payments. The tax reduction provided in the bill as passed by the house totaled approximately Lhe ra! but this has been increased by the scnate committee to $350,000,000. It is more than originally desired by Secretary jellon and house leaders have threat- ened to fight to adhere to the first figure when the measure reaches the conference of house and senate members after passage by the upper chamber. i OPPONENTS WILL FIGHT HASTY ACTION Washington, Jan, 28,—)—The senate opened consideration of the tax bill today with opponents of the measure declaring they would| fight hasty action, even if tax reduc- tions were delayed beyond March 15 when first income tax payments are due. ‘ When Chairman Smoot of the fin- ance committee asked for fi tion by February 10, Senator Nor: Republican, of Nebraska, expresse rdoubt that a vote could be taken by that time. He added he did not see how it would be possible to get the bill through in time for reductions on the March 15 payments and sug- gested that these payments be post- poned until April 1 or provision made for the refunds. Both of these proposals were de- clared impracticable by Senator Smoot. He said 2,300,000 pervens would be relieved: of all income by the bill, and that the govern’ ent needed ’gevenue on March 15 to meet: $600,000,000 in short: term obliga- tions.
