today.
At the same time, Representa-
tive Jack Nichols CD Of Okla
homa, sponsor of the measure,
stated he felt confident the bill
would not pass as introduced.
Public hearings on the measure
will begin later this week or early
next week.
PREDICTS CHANGES
Mr.. Nichols, who stands alone
on the House District Fiscal Al
fairs subcommittee in opposition
to the three-point tax program,
stated his belief that only two of
the taxes would pass, probably, he
said, the business privilege levy,
and a reduced real estate tax. He
predicted passage of a $l.60 rate.
Originally, it had been planned
to introduce the bill with $3.50
rate, but Mr.. Nichols declared the
tax was fixed at SITS, which is
the current rate, to permit the
public to shoot at it."
The subcommittee is committed
to the three-point program, over
the objection of Representative
Nichols who believes that the tax
program should yield no more
than the anticipated deficit, which
now amounts to approximately
100000.
INCOME LEVY
The income tax was inserted IN
the bill on the insistence Of Repre-
sentative Everett M. Dirksen Ro
of Illinois, subcommittee member
It provides for a tax on all per
sons earning income in Washing
ton, including members of Con
gress, who would be taxed in pro-
portion to the length of time spent
in Washington.
Following public hearings on the
measure, the bill will go to the full
House District Committee, where
it is anticipated changes will be
made. 70
Last year, the House refused tc
consider the bill until the income
tax provision, which would have
taxed members of Congress, was
deleted. It is now predicted that
should the income tax feature be
continued this year, the House
again will turn down the tax.

JAPAN ANSWERS
UNITED STATES
Denies Violation of Open
Door Policy of Nine
Power Treaty

Tokyo, Nov. Is - (U.P0 = Japan,
replying to the United States pro-
test against restrictions on foreign
trade in China in favor of Japanese,
denied today that she is violating
the open door principle of the nine
power treaty. The reply said that
specific points in the American
note and incidents complained of
might be attributed to abnormal
war conditions, and promised to re-
store normality as soon as possible.
The note said that Americans may
return without restriction to interior
points in China except danger
zones" (Most of the important part
Of the interior has been proclaimed
danger zones" by Japan.
Japan denied any fundamental
difference in the treatment of
Americans, stressing again that the
war makes conditions abnormal. The
reply said control of foreign ex-
change by Japan is necessary be-
cause traders are profiting Illegally
from the disparity between the old
Chinese currency and the new
Chinese federal reserve notes issued
by the new banking system set up by
Japan in North China. Foreign
traders have refused to accept the
notes, and Japan alleged that profit
GERS are smuggling them out and
selling them at a discount against
the old currency. Regarding the
tariff rate imposed by the Japanese
at the port of Tsintao, against
which the United States complained,
the note said the rates are actually
identical with the rates approved
by the powers in 1881.
