WASHINGTON, Nov. A—More

den of 7,000.000 federal income

Income rate revisions voted by the
house ways and means committee
In preparing a new revenue bill.
The committee yesterday voted a
reduction in the maximum surtax
rate from 40 to 20 per cent, pared
down the normal rates and in-
creased the personal exemptions.
By increasing the exemptions
from 81000 to 81500 for single per-
sons and from $2500 to $3500 for
married persons the committee re-
lieved more than 1,000,000 persons
in the small income class from the
necessity of paying any tax as we}
as reducing the burden of all others
on the federal tax rolls.
In deciding also to retain pres-
ent provisions of the law allowing
a 25 per cent reduction on earned
incomes, the committee reserved
decision on the question of increas-
ing the present income limit of
810,000 to which such reduction
applies.
The new* normal rates voted by
the committee would reduce from
2 per cent to 1% per cent the rate
on the first $4000 of taxable in-
come, cut from 4 per cent to 2
per cent the rate on the next
$4000, with a five per cent levy in-
stead of the present six per cent
applying on taxable income in ex-
cess of $8000.
Price movements became more confused
as trading progressed, with heavy profit
taking and bear selling again apparent in
the motor*. Operations for the rise conp
ti rued, however, in the cop pen and a
