BARRETT WASHINGTON (#—The Eisen- hower administration swung today {nto a slam-bang Heuse floor battle to push traditional congressional procedures aside and pass on ex- tension of the excess profits tax. Administration forces, in their most critical test in the House this session, faced a strong line-up of Democrats and a hard core of rebellious Republicans assailing the whole procedure as contrary to House rules and Democratic prin- ciples. House GOP ieaders said the President might send vp a last minute appeal for support, to be read on the floor during the fight. The subject probably was on the agenda of the President’s usual Monday meeting with his con- gressional leaders at the White House. The administration called for the | 36 hours | House showdown-—just before the tax is due to expire— by snatching the extension bill! from the hands of the tax-writing | ways and means committee and | forcing it to the floor via the rules committee. The ways and means group had been staging what amounted to a sit-down strike against any action on the admin- istration proposal. The first and crucial test today was whether the House bill, and agree to take up the measure for floor action. It was a quick do-or-die propo- sition, with only one hour of debate scheduled. - Both sides conceded the six month extension prcposal itself would pass easily on a showdown vote. But the procedural issue was topsy-turvy and tense. Democrats who opposed the pro- cedure were expected to vote heavily for continuing the tax, if it reached that stage. Some Re- publicans, lining up with the ad- ministration on the procedural fight, were ready to switch sides and voice opposition to the tax.

Normally, neither the labor union nor the ADA is counted a friend of the GOP. | At the center of this storm was ja measure by Rep. Sadlak (R- Conn) to extend the tax for six months beyond Tuesday. Since possible, the extension would be retroactive. The bill would exempt firms earning less than $100,000 a year. The proposal would continue the jtax on about 20,000 corporations, jor one out of every 21 in the coun- try, and raise something under 700- | million dollars.

On the eve of the showdown|Thompson announced last fight, itself being waged on the threshold of the administration’s first full fiscal year, there were estimates in Congress of the size of the federal deficit, The most pessimistic yesterday —a “very serious” nine billion dollars for the year ending and another seven billion for the year beginning—came from Sen. Taft of Ohio. Chairman Taber (R-NY) of the House Appropriations Committee, in an NBC radio-TV debate, pre- dicted a two billion. dollar deficit for the year starting Wednesday, barring any foreign developments that might reduce the U. S. spend- ing rate. Sen. George (D-Ga), ranking minority member of the Senate Finance Committee, agreed with Taft’s estimate for the fiscal year just. ending. But, in .a separate interview, he said next year’s may be closer to the $9,900,000,000 fore- cast by former President Truman.
