the giant cargo planes set as their
immediate goal an expansion of
production of smaller air freighters,
such as are now being produced for
the Army and Navy. Senator Lee
declared that the planes could be
built in far greater numbers than
now projected.
Called "Shot in Arm"
Senator Lee termed Mr.. Kaiser's
testimony yesterday "a real shot in
the arm" for the committee, par
ticularly his assertion that he could
produce the first big ship within 10
months" after receiving plans, if
given the green light and steady
flow of materials"
"Mr. Kaiser's confidence that he
could convert part of his shipbuild-
ing facilities at once to the produc-
ton of cargo planes stimulated the
committee tremendously" Senator
Lee said.
THE way to handle a bottleneck
is to crack it," Mr.. Kaiser said
adding:
IF the President were to call on
the Nations builders. including Tom
Girdler of Bethlehem Steel and
Glenn Martin of Baltimore and the
rest of us, you'd see this job could
be accomplished"
Mr.. Martin, in a March Of Time
radio broadcast from his Middle
River, Md, plant last night, de-
scribed this as "3O0-mile- hour
war" and said a fleet of 300 flying
vessels could put 5000 men in
Europe in three days.
Could Garry $50 Men.
Transports capable of carrying
$50 fully-equipped troops each to
any part of the world within five
days could be turned out at any
rate specified, Mr.. Martin said, If
materials were made available.
He described his newly completed
lotion flying boat Mars as capable
of carrying 20 tons of war cargo and
flying nonstop to Europe and back,
and said such flying boats could
make "a round trips while Liberty
surface freighter was making one.
Not only would Mars-type trans
ports be invulnerable to submarines,
Mr. Martin pointed out, but they
would need no fighter plane convoy
because they have wide choice Of
routes, attitudes and cloud cover.

before the Supreme Court said the
President had full authority to order
that the German prisoners be tried
by military commission. AS en-
emies, he said, they were without
right to the safeguards established
for the civil liberties of loyal citizens.
Privilege Declared Open to All,
This view was fatty denied by
Col. Royal. Citizens, !. aliens and
enemies alike, he argued, have the
privilege of recourse to the courts.
Most of the courts day yesterday
was spent in hearing Mr.. Biddle COM
plete the case for the Government
and receiving rebuttal arguments
from Col Royal. The latter, in
easygoing but positive fashion, COM
planned that an insufficient portion
OF the evidence taken by the military
commission had been placed before
the court.
Actually, he said, the evidence
tended to substantiate the conten-
ton of the men that they were not
saboteurs. but agreed to come to this
country in that role. purely as a
method Of escaping from NaM OPP
preston. One OF them, he added,
had received terrible" mistreat-
ment in Germany.
As means of perfecting the
legal procedure necessary to place
the case before the Supreme
| Court, the petitioners entered an
appeal in the Court of Appeals
for the District Previously, the
case had been carried directly from
the District Court to the Supreme
Court. Members of the latter had
objected that it was unusual to

be advanced by them before the
Senate committee conclude its
hearings and begins a detailed study
OF the tax bill.
Senator Brown said there ap-
peared to be strong sentiment with
in the committee to link some such
provision with proposal by Sem
ator Guffey, Democrat, of Pennsyl-
vania to boost the House-approved
30 per cent excess profits levy on
corporations to 100 per cent and to
provide for 40 per cent postwar
rebate Of that amount
Treasury Proposal.
The Treasury has suggested that
the 30 per cent tax be retained, but
that 10 per cent be paid back to
the corporations after the war to
finance improvements and to pro-
vide employment.
Expansion of this principle to give
immediate tax credits to both in
dividuals and corporations for a
part of the money paid on debts,
just as interest on those debts now
Is deductible from income tax, has
been proposed by Chairman George.
Senator George said the very high
rates" imposed on ordinary tax
payers and corporations in the
House-approved bill made it obvious
that some provision must be in
cluded for debt amortization. Under
the bill, corporations would pay COM
bined normal and surtax levies OF
As per cent and excess profits levies
of 30 per cent. Taxes for individuals
range from 10 per cent In the lowest
bracket to an 50 per cent maxi
mum.
Debt payments is one of the big
problems the committee has got to
struggle WITH" the chairman said
He added that this objective might
we'll be accomplished by permitting
both individual and corporate tax
payers to deduct from their net tax
able income at least a percentage OF
the amount they paid out in dis
charging past debts, probably those
contracted before January /, 1912.
Example Is Given.
AS an example, he said a citizen
who purchased home before that
date might be allowed to charge of
as a deduction not only the interest
paid on the mortgage, as he does
now, but substantial percentage OF
the principal payment.
The same method might be fol-
lowed for corporations, Senator
George said, adding that provisions
would have to be included to make
certain that the debt was contracted
for necessary OUTLAWS and that Dor
roWed funds were not wasted. To
prevent tax avoidance, he said such
credits could be applied only to past
debts and not new obligations.
Senator George said that If the
committee decided to establish some
form of postwar rebate for tax
payers, such as he has suggested In
the past. the debt amortization plan
could easily be linked with it. II
might go so far. he intimated. as
to make allowances for insurance
premiums.

0DT Sihs Efficiency
OF Navy Bus Use
10 Maryland Plants
Official Says Vehicles
Return Empty and
Refuse Passengers
by JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The efficiency Of the Navy De-
pArtment's bus operations in trans
porting workers to a Southern
Maryland ordnance plant was being
investigated by the Once OF De-
tense Transportation today. Com
plants were received that many OF
the carriers are running empty, al
though transportation In the area
was described as inadequate.
The investigation was started
after Robert Stratus, deputy chief
Of the news bureau of the once
Of War Information, told OF an
experience he had yesterday with
the buses.
Mr.. Straus, a new resident of Ac-
cokeek, Md, walked to the high
way near his home to get a bus
to get to work. He sighted a bus
and waved at it. The driver sped
by. Then a second and a third
empty bus failed to heed his shouts.

When a fourth bus appeared down
the road, the Government informa-
ton expert, to use his own words.
practically stretched myself in
front of It," The driver stopped.
Mr.. Straus started aboard. The
operator quickly informed him that
he couldn't ride unless he worked
at the ordnance plant and drove
away.
Mr.. Straus said he was informed
the buses (the number apparently is
q military secret take workers from
Washington to the plant in the
morning and return to the city
empty. Several trips are made daily
AL of this is done, despite the fact
that transportation facilities in the
section are considered inadequate.
Demand for Service.
Other residents repeatedly have
made similar complaints.
The buses originally were designed
for use In New York to replace
dismantled elevated line. The ODT,
as q transportation conservation
measure, refused to allow the tram
sit company to use the vehicles since
there was In operation q parallel
streetcar line. So the buses were
taken over by the Navy and shifted
to Washington.
I'VE are looking into the situa-
tion," an ODT spokesman said, ITO
see If justifiable use is being made
OF the buses. If we find there
isn't, we will consult with the Navy
to see If the buses can be operated
more efficiently. There is demand
for more adequate service in that
area"
The Star, in an effort to get the
Nays side, called the appropriate
officer In the transportation section.
The reporter was informed any
queries would have to be cleared
through the public relations" sec
ton. Public relations said press
Information" would have to answer
the questions. Press Information,
after investigating, reported they
were sorry" but no information
about the buses could be given out.
The reporter could, he was told,
submit questions in writing to Adj

Of Procurement and Materials.

added.
Wants Subs Considered.
Richard S. Reynolds, president Of
the Reynolds Metal Co. OF Rich
mond, previously urged the COM
mittee to consider the cargo sub
marine as well as the large air car
riers to beat Axis U-boats.
Responding to Senator Lees ques-
tions, Mr.. Reynolds said he was not
interested in the cargo submarine
idea, which was proposed by Simon
Lake, the inventor of undersea craft
He said he was merely mentioning
1t for consideration because:
Unless America prepares imme-
diAtely to deliver what it takes to
win, all that we have done to pro-
duce what 1t takes will be of no
avail"
Volume Vastly Increased.
At the outset Mr.. Reynolds ex-
planned he had been called by Mr..
Kaiser for information about the
aluminium supply which the for
mer's company manufactures. He
said 1t Is producing as much as the
United States, England and France
together were turning out in 1884
and could double or triple that If
necessary.
Mr.. Reynolds said II cargo subma-
rines are considered they could sup
plement Mr.. Kaiser's cargo planes.
The cargo submarine, he said, could
be made for 7,00O-ton capacity
and carry tanks to distant fighting
fronts.

New York engineer who identified
himself as "the highest authority
on aeronautics," testified concern

Dr. Christmas said he had offered
his ship to the Navy but they
