On the first hole, little Bill made a six to all the others’ fives and from there on it was a sad, sad story for lit- tle Bill and Louie on account of the longer the game went the worse it became (for them) until the 18th ended with Handsome and Al some 14 up.

It faces a coh- gested calendar, plus the pros- pect-of some of the moSt acrimon- ious debates in years. Every major measure now in prospect has en- thusiastic partisans and inflexi- ble opponents who are prepared. and eager for the most rough- and-ready parliamentary battling. Primest piece of legislation now in the limelight is the House tax bill, Known as the Revenue Act of 1938. In the form approved by the House, this measure retains the much-debated undistributed profits tax in a mitigated ‘form, and creates a new tax, called the “third basket” levy, aimed atclose- ly held enterprises. There is strong sentiment, in the Senate | for absolute repeal of the undis- tributed profits tax, and practi- cally no sentiment, so far as any- fone can see now, in favor of 2 “third basket” tax. This illus- trates two of the points of the bill which may be drastically ov- erhauled by the Senate. Further- more, the House tax bill is large- ly predicated on two assumptions (1) That the 1939 deficit will be under $1,000,000,000, and (2) that there will be no loss in revenues. Those seemed sound assumptions a while back—but not today. The Staggering drop in siness has apparently made it certain that the deficit will be far in excess of also certain that Treasury revenues will be gravely under the estimates made even a short time ago. Business Week forecasts that the Senate will get through its revision of the bill along in April The proposal will go intc a House- Senate conference, and what will happen there is in the laps of the gods. About two weeks agc bill was introduced in Cong which, while it has not made the headlines yet, is of very great im- portance. This the anti-bank holding company measure, which in a press conference in January. Od enough, the author of the bi a senator who has often been Administration’s ‘mist telling critics—Carter Gists, Sen ator Glass, a leader of the con, is servative wing of the Béemotratic® party, has long been opposed to holding companies in the patking field. And in this field his opin ions carry great weight in Con gress, inasmuch as he w Secre- more banks; (3) restrain banks contfolled by holding companies from opening new branches, mak- | ing loans to affiliates, or pur- chasing securities from affiliates; (4) subject bank holding com- panies and their subsidiaries to Periodic investigation by the Fed- efal Deposit Insurance Corpora- tion, with which they would also have to file report; (5) authorize the FDIC to revoke government insurance on any bank violating and provision of the act. Senator Glass states that about 50 holding companies now con- trol 500 banks possessing more than one-seventh of all the ban’ assets of the nation, believes that his bill is essential if banking is not to be concentrated in a few tremendously powerful hands. Chance of the bill's passage seem fairly good, though it may be toned down in some particulars. Many congressional conservatives who oppose destruction of utility holding companie’, for instance. because in this industry the hold- ing company system has made definite contributions to efficien- cy and economy of operation. can see no good reason for a bank holding company. On the other hand, it is argued that bank ho!d- ing les have at times pre- vented & failures b; ‘ing intoWtheir big syste individual banks.

The bill carries evéry ship, combatant and non- combatant, recommended by the Presidént, and the only change was to provide 3,000 planes as a minimum foree instead of a maxi- _tmim_force asthe President had recommended. It also provides for a peters was-as fol- 261 ‘for, 32 SUE ole 30:for, 57 against. Also opposed were seven aves and five Farmer-La- borites. The bill authorizes three battle- ships, two aircraft carriers, nine light cruisers, 23 destroyers, nine submarines, five deéstroyer-tend- efs, three submarine-tenders, 11 seaplane-tenders and three repair ships. Readers should under- stand that it merely enlarges the limits of naval construction, here- tofore restricted by the naval treaties. The President is expect- ed to ask for an appropriation to begin construction as soon as the Senate completes action on the measure. CONGRESS MOVES Congress got‘ints, motion last week with Administration forces apparently im controh..The Senate fepeatedly voted down efforts of opponents to amend: the Reorgan- ization Bill, and the House com- pleted action on the naval meas- ure.
