From Mai. Gen. Leslie j. McNair,
chief of staff to Gen. George Marsh

Caroline acreage acquired by the
War Department provided one of the
oest maneuver grounds he had seen
and undoubtedly was so situated
that it could be used the year round.
Present plans for the area call for
about 1000 troops of the 29th Di-

maneuvers.
Gen. McNair. IN whose Office was

Pratt that the maneuvers were emil

suits.

Lower Exemptions
In Tax Bill Studied
By House Committee
Douehton |ntimotes
Broadening Of Base for
Levy on Incomes
az tn. Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Indications came from the House
Ways and Means Committee yes
terday that the individual income
tax base would be broadened in the
proposed $500, 100000 new tax bill
to include persons making less than
the present exemption of $500 for
single persons and $4,000 for mar
ried couples.
Two moves pointed to this pos
sibility:
/. Chairman Doughton announced
that the committee had voted ten
tatively to let present personal ex-
emptions stand as far as surtaxes
are concerned, adding, we might
let the normal tax begin lower than
that. I don't know" He made it
clear that was a matter for future
determination.
2. Other sources said the commit
tee had called on its tax experts for
data showing the effect of lowering
the normal tax exemptions to $500
or to $500 for single persons and to
81 300 or to $1,000 for married
couples.
Normal Tax 4 Per cent.
The normal tax, now 4 per cent,
is the rate that the average small
income taxpayer pays. Persons in
higher income brackets are assessed,
in addition to this normal levy,
surtaXeS starting at per cent. The
surtaX applies when a person earns
more than $4,000 above his personal
exemptions.
For instance, married man with
$4,000 net income gross income
minus deductions for interest. other
taxes, church contributions, etc. de-
ducts $4,000 for self and wife and
the $4,000 surtax exemption, which
leaves $4,000 subject to surtaxes.
The first $4,000 of this "surtax net
income" is subjected to a 4 per cent
surtax and the second $4,000 to q
6 per cent rate.
Question Undecided.
Mr.. Doughton said that the ques-
ton of whether the $4,000 surtax
exemption should be continued, re-
duced or wiped out altogether was
not decided
The Treasury has suggested that
the surtax exemption be eliminated
entirely and that surfaces. starting
at IL per cent, be applied to the
first 81 of taxable income.
The staff Of the Joint Committee
on Internal Revenue Taxation has
suggested a $4,000 surtax exemp-
ton in addition to personal exemp-
tions.

Tin Containers for Gasoline Also Help
To RefueI Advancing Motorized Columns

anywhere. a supply car full Of s.
gallon containers can drive by the
entire column, unloading canisters
as 1t goes.
Can Be Stored Compactly.
The fact that the cans are rec
tangular, rather than round, per-
mits compact storing and they are
so stable that they can be used over
and over.
Military experts point out that
the British pry hole in their D.
gallon tin can and then throw ii
away. The German Army always
has a supply car ready to pick up
the empties.
A further advantage claimed Is
that enemy fire usually destroys
only the containers actually hit
and not those lying nearby, while
a hit on a big gas tank means the
loss of the entire contents.
In the opinion of military experts
German victory hitherto was &C
counted for partly by the fact that
motorized vehicles could virtually
refuel while the battle ragged.

McNutt, al u. ofM.,
Says America Must
See Hitler Stopped
Security Administrator
Honored at MoryIond's
Largest Graduation

If it is important to America
that Hitler be stopped, it is Amer
ica's job to see that he is stopped,
Paul v. McNutt, Federal Security
Administrator, told 1913 members of
the largest graduating class in the
history of the University of Mary
land during commencement exer-
cises yesterday at Ritchie Coliseum,
College Park.
Before a crowd OF more than A.
500, including Gov. O'Conor and
other dignitaries, Mr.. McNutt, who
delivered the commencement ad-
dress, received an honorary doctor
of laws degree, conferred on him by
DR.. H. c. Byrd, president of the
university.
In his address, Mr.. McNutt dashed
out against the attitude of bust
ness as usual during the present
emergency and warned the grad
yates against adopting clustered"
habits of thought.
There have been among us those
who purport to see in all this some
great, irresistible force of the flu
ture-the future, bearing down on
the present like wave" he con-
tinued. 1T is new order sup
planting the old. And because this
was said to be 'new'-because 1t
was 'change'-it is intimated that
1t must be good-at least newt
able and unacceptable. Therefore,
we must get along with 1t.
"Dregs of the Past"
"Totalitarianism is not the future.
1t is a collection of the dregs of the
past-the cruel, ignorant, barbaric
past, from which men had thought
they were forever liberated he
said.
1T is not a wave. 1t is the surg
ing food of intolerance, bigotry and
fear. And if the unshakeable will
and determination OF the free peo-
pies of the world can prevent it, 1t
is not inevitable or unacceptable.
For the first time since the birth
Of the Republic, our national Sc
curity is threatened by external
forces. For the first time in our
existence two mighty oceans are in
adequate to insure our safety
Mr.. McNutt concluded his address
with the declaration that the Amer
lean way is the new order for the
common people of the world
Gov. O'Conor Speaks.
Gov. O'Conor in a brief address,
said that during the emergency,
with its increased need for persons
skilled in many fields. the univer-
sity will provide fertile source of
supply. He presented degrees to

Schultz Suggests
Daylight Saving
lFor District

Adoption Of daylight saving in the
District was suggested yesterday
by Representative Schultz. Demo-
crat, Of Indiana, in view of the
threatened shortage Of electric
power and light facilities in the
Eastern part of the country.
The ranking majority member
of the House District Committee,
Mr.. Schultz declared:
washington should join with
other cities in the Eastern part of
the country that have daylight
saving in an effort to conserve the
electric supply during this period
of the national emergency"
Representative Schultz, however,
declined to indicate whether he
would sponsor legislation to put
the plan into effect here.

BERLIN, June IA part Of the
complicated system by which Ger
many keeps her huge blitz armies
rolling on a smooth flow of oil and
gasoline Is explained today In an
article published with the approval
of the high command.
Paper bottles for oil and handy
metal containers for gasoline are a
part of the secret of keeping NOV
ing columns supplied with lubri-
cants and fuel-materials motor
lied army needs as badly as in
fantry needs food.
Tin containers for oil. the article
said, were regarded by the high
command as "a tremendous waste"
which robbed the German war in
dustry of raw materials. Besides,
gathering up used tins and de
oiling' them was costly and time
consuming.
Bottle Made of Waste Paper.
Accordingly, Germany's inventors
were asked to devise something
cheap and practical. The result
was an impregnated quart bottle
made of waste paper.
So practical have these papier
mache bottles proved they probably
will be generally adopted in peace
time by the automobile industry.
In the case of gasoline containers
strategic considerations were para
! mount. The quickly moving blit2
army of today cannot afford to be
delayed long at filling stations even
if these stations are tanks on wheels
Only small number of vehicles
could be served simultaneously from
one tank.
The army, therefore. designed q
rectangular, 5-gallon canister made
of tin and an alloy so that it can
be dropped from moving vehicle
without smashing It.
