FIGURES
PROPOSE DEEPER
CUT IN INCOME TAX

Washington, Oct. 22-(AP)-Slight-
~ greater reductions on the normal
income tax rates than he suggested
Monday were proposed today by Sec
rotary Mellon in a revised schedule
submitted to the house WAYS and
means committee.
The new proposal of the treasury
affecting these rates. which are the
only ones applying to small incomes,
was figured on a basis calling for
elimination Of the provision in the
present law allowing rs percent re-
duction on earned incomes.
The schedule provides for rates of
one percent on taxable incomes up to
$4,000, two percent on the next $1,000
three percent on the next $4,000 and
nve percent on taxable incomes in
excess of $4,000.
Present normal rates are two per-
cent on the first $4,000 of taxable in
come, four percent on the next $4,0
and six percent on the remainder.
Mr.. Melons letter forwarding
these rates to Chairman Green as a
suggestion but not as a definite plan,
did not mention that they were cal
culated on a basis of elimination of
the 25 percent earned income reduc-
ton provision. which applies to in
comes up to $4,000 and embraces all
incomes, whatever the source, up to
$4,000. Joseph F. Mccoy, govern
ment actuary, who framed the sched-
ule. declared, however, that the esti-
mates were conditional on such ac-
tion.. Mr.. Melons suggestion Mon
day that the surtax rate maximum be
reduced to 20 percent from the pres
ent level Of 40 percent. was. not al
tered in today's proposal.
The secretary's letter was read at
the outset of the fourth day of public
hearings by the committee, which it
plans to continue through next week
before beginning work on its new bill.
Both Republican and Democratic
members of the committee expressed
approval fthe new schedule as COM
pared with the suggestions he adj
vanced Monday, which called for nor
NAL rates Of one and one half per-
cent on the first $4,000 of taxable in
come, three percent on the next $4,000
and five percent on the remainder OF
income.
Plans for even greater reductions
on these rates. however. have been
proposed by both Republican and
Democratic members.

The Macedonian frontier incidents,
he says, are expected to have no
further consequences.
Athens. Oct 22-(AP)-Greek and
Bulgarian soldiers are engaged in
battle on the Macedonian frontier.
The Greek command is making an
encircling movement on the heights
around the town Of Petrich, about 20
miles to the northwest of Demirhis-
sar. where the first clash between
Greek and Bulgarian patrols occurred
Monday. -
This is the official information
given out here and it is further ans
nounced that the Bulgarians have re-
ceived reinforcements at Demir-
Kapu.
The movement against Petrich 10
to compel the Bulgarians to evacuars
Greek territory, and the fall Of Pet
rich is considered imminent.
The Bulgarians are offering stubs
born, resistance. but the Greek losses
are said to be unimportant. Seven
Bulgarians have been captured. ;
The report of the Greek general
staff on the present trouble, quoted
textually in the Greek note to Bull
garia, sets forth, first, that the BulS
garians opened fire first by surprise,
without provocation or motive: Sec
ondly. that the Bulgarians deliber-
ately, after careful preparation. con-
centrated forces out Of proportion to
such incidents and utilized machine
guns; and thirdly, that the Bulgarian
offensive probably was intended to
facilitate comitadji incursions into
Greek territory. rs
The report adds that II Is known
that Bulgarians have been evasively
recruiting soldiers in the guise of
labor battalions and civic guards,
numbers of whom were found with
the Bulgarian attacking forces, thus
permitting the assumption that their
object was to foment trouble an
