Washington, Oct. 10 (UP)- Th* Senate passed and returned to the House today an $8-».00O.O0O.OO0 tax bill, biggest In history, that would tap the earnings of one-third of the nation, beginning with thoae who make more than |12 a week.
The measure, which represents new taxee designed to swell total federal receipts to between 124,000,- 000.000 and $2<.000,000.000 next year; weiild raise taxes on individuals and' corporations to the highest levels ever asses.sed in this countrj'. The vote was 77 to 0. Reaehea Nearly All
Illustrative of the severity and rcope of the new Individual levies were tax tables showing that a single person earning $800 a year, who psid no taxes this yetr, would pay a total of $44.sa nest year. A married couple with an IneAne of $2,600, who paid $M in taxee thii: year, would owe the KAwrnnrient }342 next year.
The new measure would add from 14.000.000 to 16000,000 persons to the present federal tax roll of 211,000,000, for a grand total of 42.000.000 or 44.000.000 Individuals.
Revised Treasury estimates placed the  new  receipts  from   individuals st    J.M04.800.00O.    over    and    above Mil existing taxes. Te Heine Conference
.Senate passage rame after five dsys of debate. The House is ex¬ pected to send the bill to confer¬ ence for adjustment ef differences between the original version passed hy it snd the bigger Senate bill.
In anticipation of the conference, these senators were named con¬ feree?: Chairman Waller F. George, D.. Oa.. of fhe finance committee. which drafted the measure: David I. Wslsh. D.. Mass.: Alben W. Bark- lev, n.. Kv.: Tom ronnslly, D , Tex.; Robert M. La FoUette. Prog.. Wis.: Arlhur Capper, R.. Kan , and Arlhur H. Vandenberg, R, Mich.
Ju»t hefore the final vote La FoUette said that the record-, breaking bill violates many tax principles for which he has stood. hut thst he felt he had to vote for il because of the need for wartime revenue. I
Ta Re Ruahed I
Barkley said he hoped conferees could complete action next week, getting the Bill ready for adoption In both houses the week of Oct. 19. George conceded the bill fell short of being an absolute check on Infla¬ tion, but added that It was aa heavy as it could be. He predicted that before next March 15, Congress will have enacted an adequate com¬ pulsory savings law, with provision fnr  post-war credits.
In contrast to the astronomical *ar spending estimate of JM.OOO.- 000.000 for 1»43, thc new tsx bill and lotal revenue flgure served lo emphasize Ihe deficit under which this government will he operating and the almost inconceivable aize of the puhlic debt sfler the war. Inrliidre "\ Mory Tax"
Migh spot of the Senate version, nt the new revenue bill is the so- rslled "Victory Tax", which will', exact a flat five per cent levy on [ the income of all Americans who i Wake more than |12 a week, or J624 a year. j
