Outcome of the battle for the

Australia and New Zealand or
whether the United Nations at

Further indication of the

ASKS EXTRA S61 BILLION
 IN TAX BILL
Morgenthdu Would Raise Collections 10 S30h
 Billion for Year

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.--Secre- tary of the Treasury Henry Mor- genthau today asked the Senate Finance Committee for legislation to levy an additional $6h billion in taxes on individuals over and above the $6,27l 100000 tax bill already passed by the House.
 This would provide $41s billion postwar rebate to individuals.
 If the new program is enacted, it would boost to approximately $14 billion the amount over and above existing taxes which the Treasury would drain from the na- tional income.
 Total tax collections would be in- creased to approximately $30,500,- 100000 for the full years opera tions.
 The majority of the Senate Fin ance Committee to which the pro- posal was submitted, expressed their opposition. Twelve of them generally objected that the plan is too complicated. Most of them said they would prefer an out right sales tax.
 Senator Johnson said that tho plan staggered" the imagination, saying, Tt seems we will lower the standard of living in the U. s. at least 50 percent if ths is en- acted into law"
 The committee unanimously ad- opted a resolution calling on the Treasury to sd5mit information about the sales tax.

Navy Is Pulling of Recruiting Campaign;
 Congress Giving Aid
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-For the first time in history so far as anyone recalls, every member of Congress House and Senate--is participating in the biggest Navy recruiting cam paign ever staged.
 When it's all over, some 5000 speeches will have been broadcast to every nook and corner of every State, with the prospective recruits hearing 1872 minute appeals from their own representatives and sen- ators
 Approximately 100 of the speeches have already been turned out by the Navy radio information section This in itself is staggering task, for not only are the usual recruiting appeals-training in a choice of 63 professions and trades, service to the nation, health benefits, etc.-includ- ed, but also a community appeal directed primarily at the section or State to which the speech is aired For example, in industrial sections, it will be pointed out how youths while serving their country, can equip themselves for the postwar jobs right at home.
 These speeches are turned over. to the congressman and as fast as they can be shunted through the radio recording studio in the House Office Building, Robert Coar, in charge prepares the recordings. These are distributed to the radio stations back home.
 Kickoff speeches were made on national hookups by House Majority Leader John w.. Mccormick and Minority Leader Joseph w. Martin, Jr. It will be rolling along for weeks. maybe months yet.
 Tn it's midwar recruiting drive, the Navy is following it's lifetime policy of depending on enlistments idOilCl blldll Oll 4iiC SD~ dent months ago, by executive order, opened the selective service roles to the Navy, So far they have not found it necessary to make a single request.
 Indirectly, of course, selective serv- ice is responsible for thousands Of the Navy enlistments. Youths who are classified IA, but prefer the Navy rush to join before they are grabbed for the Army.
 Recruiting, rather than the sim pier method of drafting, also is part of the Navy's cagey policy of skim- ming the cream off the manpower crop. Nearly every man in the Navy is there because he wants to be there or prefers being there to being in any of the other armed forces.
