Eberharter CD-Pa) today proposed a $1,000,000,000 "excess profits' tax on corporations, patterned after a similar wartime levy. Introducing legislation for the tax, Eberharter said- he was proposing it to offset losses from prospective cuts in the excise taxes on such -things as furs, jewelry, leather goods and other items. He called in a proposal for just a little of the thickest cream" from corporation profits.

The House and means committee is now working on a bill to cut the wartime excise taxes. President Truman recommended some cuts, but suggested raises elsewhere to make up lor the loss in government, income. Members of the committee said privately there is little likelihood an excess profits tax will be approved. Deciilonn Pending On excise taxes, the big decisions still- ahead are what to do about the levies on movie tickets, freight transportation, travel tickets -and long distance communica- Today's committee session was off because several members had other business. Excise 'tax cuts already approved by the- committee arc almost twice as deep as Mr.

Truman asked for that list the committee has covered to date. The -committee may risk a veto by calling for overall excise slashes of about beyond the $055,000,000 set by the President. Mr. Truman has threatened a veto if Congress sends him a mil that fails to regain thfe excise reductions by larger levies elsewhere. Tax Increase Asked He proposed, in addition to covering tnis-loss, a net $1,000,000,000 increase in revenue by more taxes on corporations, inheritances and big gifts, and by closing tax law loopholes.

However, it is doubtful that the committee will find more than enough to offset the excise See EXCISE TAXES Page 10 Paralyzed Patient Is Cured By Sight Of Passing Beauty CLOVIS, April 24.
