New Taxes, Rent Bill Loom Washington, Sept. 25—Taxes on swollen business profits, statehood for Hawaii and Alaska and possibly rent control look like the big issues when Congress returns to Washing ton two months from now. Even those problems may be too big to handle in a quick session be tween Nov. 27 and the Christmas holidays. They were the major left-overs when weary lawmakers knocked off | work late Saturday with a slap at President Truman—a thumping re pudiation of his veto of a stiff anti communist bill, i The bill was put on the lawbooks when the Senate voted 57 to 10 to override the veto. That was 12 votes more than the two-thirds majority needed. The House had overturned the veto within an hour after Mr. Truman sent it to Capitol Hill Fri-j day afternoon. The vote there was 286 to 48. The Senate vote came late Satur day after a small group of senators had talked against the bill almost around the clock, waging what they acknowledged was a losing fight. They said they hoped that word from people back home might change a few senators' votes; whether it did | was questionable. Senator Langer (R-ND) collapsed from exhaustion on the Senate floor after speaking for five and a half I hours against the bill. He was taken to the Naval Hospital at Bethesda, Md., and is reported to be “doing well.” Another major enactment of the adjourned Congress will have almost immediate effect. Starting next Sunday, income tax withholdings will jump one-fifth for most of the nation’s 50,000,000 in come tax payers. The tax boost, estimated to produce about $4,700,000,000 yearly, was ap proved by Mr. Truman about the tme Congress was winding up its chores. He acted swiftly, just a day after Congress sent him the bill. Even before that, the tax-writing House ways and means committee de cided to start public hearings Nov. 15 on a second tax increase which Congress has pledged will include an excess profits tax on corporations. Estimates are that it will produce from $4,000,000,000 to $6,000,000,000 a year. The committee said it will try to limit the hearings to five days and have a bill’ready for prompt action when Congress reconvenes Nov. 27. Rep. Spence (D-Ky.) told news men, too, that he hopes to have a new rent control bill ready for ac tion during the short session. The present law expires generally on Jan. 1, although local communities can extend controls for another six months by taking positive action to do so. Spence is chairman of the House banking committee, which handles rent legislation.
