War Thursday :

MEXICO CITY, May rs (INS)
President Manuel Avila Ca
macho's request for a declaration
of war on the Axis powers will
be delivered personally to the
Mexican Congress Thursday, il
was announced today.
Eleven days after the first of
two Mexican tankers was sunk by
Axis submarine action, the stand
ing joint committee of the Senate
and Chamber of Deputies granted
Avila Camachos request for an
extraordinary session Of Congress.
It was learned that the presi-
dent reiterated before the COM
Imittee yesterday the statement
he had made to his cabinet last
Friday that Mexico already was
lin a virtual state Of war begun
by Axis aggression. All that re-
manned was to formalize that
status.

SALES TAX EXEMPTION

Another alternative plan which
will be considered would be to
issue stamps or cards emitting
low income groups to exemptions
from a general sales tax if it is
adopted.
Under the credit plan, a single
person earning $1,000 a year
would pay S44.S0 into the govern
ment under the 10 per cent COL
Ilection-at-Source method of tax
payment. To this the government
would add SIS, making a credited
total of $3.50 paid in against his
tax liability.
Under tax rates and lower ex-
emptions which have been written
into the tax law, this person would
owe total taxes of $84, or would
have to pay $24.20 when he filed
his tax return. Without the credit
feature, the same person would
have to pay balance of 1920.
The same goal of tightening the
burden for low income groups is
incorporated in the sales tax ex-
emption stamp plan. Under this
plan, a person in the lower income
groups would be given stamps for
necessities, similar to stamps is
sued under the surplus foods
stamp program.
These stamps would entitle the
holder to purchase given quanti-
ties of necessities free of a gen.
eral sales tax.

Germany staged . parade
Of veteran troops in Paris to-

feat an attempt to invade the
continent as well as to insult
further the defeated French.
A Paris dispatch Of the Ger

broadcast by Berlin and heard
by the United Press in London,
said:
German troops who have dis.

troops just arrived from the

There was no indication
whether Hitler had named q

Presumably the Paris parade
was staged to offset Russian an
