WASHINGTON (AP)—A tax reform package that strikes at large sheltered incomes and eases the burden of filling out returns was sent by President Nixon's administration Monday to a Congress apparently intent on broader changes.
After Treasury Secretary George Shultz outlined the proposals to the House Ways and Mean Committee, Chairman Wilbur Mills, D-Aark, said, "We'll have to develop our own program. There are a number of areas he didn't touch on."
Instead of the present minimum tax on certain kinds of preference income, which critics has say has proved ineffective, the new proposal would establish a minimum taxable income, calculated so that no one will be subject to the same taxes on at least half of his income.
The proposed new return form, the Treasury said, would simplify tax returns for about 20 million taxpayers who are unable to use the present short form but are

The way was cleared for State action when Sen. Gale McGee, D-WY., yielded after threatening to talk until midnight and then sent on his postcard voter registration measure.

Another credit provide up to $200 per child for tuition payments to nonprofit schools.
The package also provides for widely publicized arrangements by which upper-income individuals, through inactive partnerships in real estate, rental and other businesses, can for a time obtain tax losses reducing the levy on their regular incomes. Under the proposal, such losses could be carried out with credit or future, from the business involved.

Other items in the package are a liberalized child-care deduction for working parents, an interest subsidy for states and local governments who would agree to issue bonds with taxable interest and a major simplification of the credit on retirement income available to those who receive relatively small Social Security payments.
