Considera tion of the tax revision program wa8 suspended by the house ways and ! means committee tonight until after the first of the year, but Chairman Green indicated a report on the ad ! ministrative features which have j been under discussion would be made by January 10. This would clear the way for con sideration of soldiers bonus legisla tion under the program agreed upon by the committee. Considerable discussion arose in an executive meeting of the committee today over proposed changes in the capital assets feature of the present tax law whereby gains on capital transactions, including stock divi dends, would be taxed under the in come provision rather than on the present basis of 12 per cent on capital gains. The working out of such a change. If found feasible, will be placed in the hands of treasury experts. . While the entire committee will not meet again until January 3, Chairman Green will confer with a sub-committee in the meantime on some of the technical features under discussion. No major legislation is expected to be taken before the house until the new rules have been adopted. On January 14 the 30-day period ends under which the house has agreed to operate by the old rules. The rules and the administrative section of the tax bill will probably be given first consideration on the legislative program to be adopted by the republican conference. Bonus legislation and income tax revision would then follow, under present plans.
