By 40 to 39 the Senate had approved Senator Borah's amendment lifting tax exemption from future issues of Federal securities. Otherwise the Finance Committee's bill had been passed intact. Bob La Follette's politically preposterous notion that the bill should be turned into a respectable revenue raiser by taxing the "little fellow" had been shrugged...
