A'Irtually the only detailed attnck on tho bill as a whole wna given by Sen¬ ator Norris, leader of tho Republican Independents, who ch.irged It was written by big bu.siness which appar¬ ently Is In the saddle In both thu Re- riiblican imd Democratic parties. The unanimity ot opinion could not lio In¬ terpreted as non-pai-tlsansblp, ho con¬ tended, but nvther was nn evidence th.it leaders ot both parties had com¬ bined to "protect tlio rich and rob the poor."
Situation Unchajiged The committee Itself took a day oft nfter It.s strenuous labors ot the paat fi-w days and will not meet again until Monday when repeal ot the automo¬ bllo tax win be considered.
Exresslons of opinion from all of tho parties concerned did not servo to change the situation In the House where it ia lielleved the bill meeta with nnquestiontd prospects of success. Sweeping changes in the present law can be enacted there with little op¬ position in view ot tho stringencle» of tho House rules which prevent extend¬ ed debate.
With Norris on the war path In the Senate and Smoot and Winston favoring cancellation t>t the exempt¬ ions oii. small incomes. It becomes ap¬ parent that thc measure la not yet thiough the Congres-slonal woods.
Norris was extremely bitter In his criticism.
