SimpIified Tax Return
Form Is Approved by
Senate Committee
STANDARD TobIe Would
Tell Fixed Amounts for
Incomes Under $1,000
By ]. A. OIEARY.

Millions of new taxpayers in the
low wage groups will be given the
opportunity to pay their income
levy without filling out complex
forms, under a simplified form ap-
proved today by the Senate Finance
Committee.
The committee approved a table,
presented by Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau during the hear
ings, listing fixed amount of tax
that could be paid by any person
with income ranging from $3.50 to
5000 a year.
The Secretary's idea was to have
these tables on display in post Of
f1ces and other public buildings, so
that a low-salaried man could tell
at a glance what his tax would be
on any given salary under $1,000.
Today's action followed yester-
days decision to lower the personal
exemptions for married persons
from $1,000 to 81 500 and for single
persons from $500 to $3.50, thereby
bringing 100000 more individuals
into the class that must file returns.
Cooperation Rates Adjusted.
The committee also readjusted
normal rates today on smaller
corporations. In absorbing the spe-
cial 10 per cent defense tax in the
corporate structure, the rates on
corporations of less than $25, 900 Of
net income were fixed in the follow
ing brackets:
Not more than 5000 of income,

Military Mission

BY the Associated Press.

BY Ihe ASSOCIATED Press
President Roosevelt has decided to
send a military mission to China.
DR.. Huh shih, the Chinese AM
bassador, disclosed the decision
after a call on the Chief Executive
today.
DR.. HUI Shih said it would be
headed by Brig. Gen. John Ma
gruder, but he was unable to say
whether it would be a permanent
mission or how many members 1t
would have.
He indicated the mission would
study Chinese needs for American
military supplies and perhaps also
strategic problems involved in
China's war with Japan.
The Ambassador said probably it
would take some time to organize
the mission. The Chief Executive,
he told reporters, was expected to
discuss details of the missions OBJ
jectives at a press conference later
in the day.
THE President and I discussed
largely the needs of China-the de-
fense needs-and the President as
sured me that China's needs were
not left out at his historic confer
ence on the high seas" the Am
bassador said.
The Chinese envoy was referring
to the Chief Executives conference
in the North Atlantic with Prime
Minister Churchill.

Stettinius Predicts
Serious Shortages
Of Raw Materials
Tells 'Priorities Clinic
Supplies Situation
Is Very Serious

Serious shortages in a number Of
important raw materials are i'm
minent, Edward r. Stettinius, jr.,
defense priorities director, and other
Government officials declared today.
Addressing a "priorities clinic" for
newspapermen and editors of trade
papers and magazines handling de-
fense news, Mr.. Stettinius asserted
that the supplies situation is very
serious" and that obviously there
will be insufficient materials to cover
needs for the Army and Navy, the
lease-lend program, and production
for civilian requirements.
r. E. Mcconnell, o. p. M. con-
servation expert, declared that the
next few weeks will bring q period
of public confusion caused by the
curtailment or stoppage OF many
civilian ALLEGATIONS. And, he added,
"even greater privations may be
suffered in the future"
Moving Into War Economy.
I'VE are moving into a war econ
omy,' Mr.. Mcconnell said bluntly,
and war economy is not a COM
Portable economy. We can have all
the guns and some of the butter, or
all the butter and some Of the guns,
but we cannot have all the guns
and all the butter"
Robert w. Horton, director of de-
fense information, declared that
proper presentation of news about
the inevitable rationing is essential
in maintaining high public morale.
If the action of o. P. M. and
other defense agencies is not under
stood and accepted by the public
they might just as well never be
TAKEN" Mr.. Horton said.
Lowering Of Morale.
Curtailment of civilian supplies,
Mr.. Horton predicted, will result in
unemployment, closing Of plants,
and lowering of public morale. Be-
cause of the morale factor, he con-
tinued, his defense information serv-
ice hopes to be able to include in
the future more explanation and
background material in announce
ment of restrictive government ac-
ton.
The speakers did not list COM
modities in which shortages are ex-
pected, but they mentioned copper
