idle machinery, and idle funds" to
work was recommended to the House
Ways and Means Committee today

far to promote the objectives out
lined last week by Secretary Nor

capital into private industry and the
promotion of tax equity.
The recommendation paralleling
many of those made by Morganthau
follows:
Reduction of federal surtax rates
which discourage investment of saw
ing in private industry; abolition of
the present capital gains and losses
tax provisions; exemption of cor
porate dividends to individuals from
normal income tax since this invol-
YES double taxation; elimination of
the taxation of inter-corporate div
idends for abolition of the undis-
tributed earnings tax and a COM

to the angle at which she lay.
The new $l,50O,OOO craft imbedded
in mud at a As degree angle during
the test dive at lao o. m. Thursday.
The 24O ton craft was in water 133

While attempts were being made
to keep this part of the craft above
water, a strong tide came in about
dusk Friday and after the tail had
been visible for seven hours swept
it under sea.
When the tide slackened the tail
failed to reappear. It was at this
point that the Admiralty expressed
grave fears that any lives would be
saved, in addition to those four men
