By the Associated Pre With 10 days of public tax revi hearings behind it, the House, ways and means committee will meet in executive session early next week to begin the actual writing of the new revenue bill, embodying a reduction in the burden of the taxpayer. It is planned to have the measure completed by the convening of Con- gress, so that it may be presented to the House as soon as the formalities of organization have been concluded.

Elimination of this levy was recom- mended by the Treasury. In addition, a dozen or so other taxes came in for some degree. of attention during the meetings.
