Cooper Sees Tax Plan
OF n. A. N. benefitinq
Some Corporations
Ways and Means Member
TiIts With Association
Official at Hearing

By the Associated Press.
The National Association Of Man
ufacturers was accused by a House
Ways and Means committeeman.
yesterday Of sponsoring a program
which would reduce rather than in
crease the new taxes some corpora
tions would be called upon to pay to
help finance the cost of the war.
Representative Cooper, Democrat,
Of Tennessee. second-ranking men,
Der, made the accusation in an ac-
rimonious exchange with J. Cheever
Cowdin, who gave the committee the
associations overall program Of rails
ing an additional $7,6OO, 900 900. with
all corporations to pay 81 500 900 900
Of that total.
You soak the smaller Corpora
tions) still more and let the dig ones
out" Mr.. Cooper told Mr.. COwdin.
Mr.. Cowdin agreed that in small
percentage of cases his program
would not impose heavier taxes,
specifically as regards companies
which make between 100 per cent
and 200 per cent Of their base credit,
reckoned on prewar income.
He contended, however, that the
associations corporate tax recon-
mendations, for large companies as
we'll as small ones, would yield
81 500 100000 more from that source
than under present law.
Representative Cooper said that
under Mr.. Cowdin's program COM
pany with SlOO,OO0,OO0 net income
would pay $4,000, 900 in taxes. while
under present law the total tax bill
would be s47,528 900.
The association proposed a 80 per
cent excess profits tax rate for cor
porations, compared with top fig
ure Of 88.75 recommended by the
Treasury. which asked that cor
porations pay $4,000, 600. 900 more in
taxes.
But at the same time the associa-
ton proposed a number OF major
reviSions In computation of excess
profits levies, one of which would
permit concern to compute its
normal taxes before excess profits
the reverse OF present provisions.

Half Dieppe TroopsLost, Commons Told
Churchill Makes Report to House as Elections
 Postponed Again

LONDON, Sept. 30- The Allied invasion test at Dieppe met tank barriers of unforeseen strength and the attackers losses were very nearly half of the total" of troops involved, Winston Churchill said in the Commons today.
 The House passed a bill for the extension of one year of its life, with a vote of 215 to g, prolonging the life of the House for the third time since the start of. the war.
 The Government rejected repeat ed demands of critics of the pres ent Commons for General Elec- ton. Most of the members were elected in 1885.
 Churchill said it had not been anticipated that she tank barriers couldn't be destroyed by fire.
 He said the Military Commander of Dieppe described the support given by RAF for the operations there as "faultless.
 The Royal Air Force fought the greatest air battle of all time, de- stroying 100 planes.

Two Pliers Gel Medals;
 Credit Eah Other for
 Jap Plane Kill June }

HEADQUARTERS ALASKA DE- TENSE COMMAND, Sept. 30. = Mai. Gen. Simon B. Buckner, Jr., has announced the award of air medals to two First Lieutenant pi- lots for destroying Japanese Navy plane in the Aleutians.
 The awards went to Jacob Wylie Dixon, 400 North Fifteenth Street, Lexington, Mo, and to John Byrd Murphy, 3O31 55lst Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
 The citation praised the officers for extraordinary achievement and initiative in the performance of their duty in which they were par ticipating in their first conflict with an armed enemy"
 Action on June 3
 It also declared that they dem ability in carrying out their mis- onstrated outstanding courage and sion"
 These first ADO air medals were awarded for action the two men took together on June during the Japanese attack on Dutch Har- bor, when three hours after they first sighted an enemy plane they cooperated to send. one down.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-09-30

Murphy and Dixon went on pat rol early that morning. Soon after wards they sighted one flight of Japanese bombers, which immed- lately turned tail and got out of range before the Americans had an opportunity to take action.
 Badly disappointed, the Ameri- cans continued their patrol and three hours later, spotted another flight of Jap planes which began maneuvering, and seeking cover in cloud bank.
 Cut Out Plane
 Finally one broke out of the clouds in front of the two Ameri- can planes which began chasing it from points of the V toward the apex, firing.
 Meanwhile Murphy, reporting the first, said "The first burst appar- ently got the pilot. I saw black smoke pouring from the engine.
 Air headquarters officers said that the two men verbally argued over which one got the plane, each saying the other probably should have credit for the kill.
 The medal, therefore, was even tually awarded each.

WASHINGTON, Sept. BOA lit tie over two years ago, when we still were wringing our hands over the sad plight of Poland, l remem- Der writing a column that thought carried jarring impact. It was to the effect that the government employees, exclusive of the Army and Navy, had reached the stag gering number of 100000 persons.
 Now, it's hardly worth para graph that civil service officials say that there will be 3,000,000 on Uncle Sam's payroll before the peak of the war effort is passed (Note, it will only take about TOO 900 more to reach that mark)
 Uncle Sam, in the role of ci- vilian employer is still having his greatest problem with turnover. A report, by civil service, of couple of hundred thousand new place. ments, represents a net gain of less than 100000 employees. That means that for every two persons hired on a government job these days, there is one or more who quits for a better job, joins the military forces,

 The vote is not expected, how ever, to have any effect on the governments policy of prudent neutrality" because the conserva- tive senate supporting President Castillo is not likely to act with the Chamber where a coalition of liberals can outvote the conserva- tives.
 The resolution was adopted after a lengthy debate on foreign rela- tions.

The w ashington Merry, Go Round
By DREW PEARSON CMajor Robert 6. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON Dorchester is Washingtons newest and most swank apartment house. Located on Embassy Row, it nestles near the Italian and Spanish embassies, looks down on the rest of Washington siz- zling in the heat below.
 And in midsummer even the Dorchester itself is hot, especially the top floor.
 On July 22, the WIPE issued or der M-9-c-4 which prohibited any, one after that date from using cop per tubing for plumbing, heating or nonmilitary purposes, even if he had a preference rating.
 On August 3-ten days after this order-a large amount of copper tubing was delivered to the roof of the Dorchester Hotel The resi- dents of the top floor were hot. A cooling system was to be installed.
 On August and more tubing was delivered, totaling A SOLID MILE OF copper much needed for the war.
 The next day Ernst L. Flentje, secretary of the National Associa- tion of Master Plumbers, called this violation to the attention of the WIPE He also sent a personal telegram to Donald Nelson, telling him that he read in the newspapers that Nelson was getting tough and he hoped he would begin by getting tough with the swank Dor chester apartment.
 Flentje also asked the WIPE whether its orders were issued for the purposes of being obeyed. or whether only certain people were supposed to obey them.
 But, nothing happened. The WIPE looked into the situation. That was all The Dorchester now can be cooler than ever, but a lot of plumbers in Washington now figure that WIPE orders only apply to cer- tain people.
 NOTE-Secretary of Labor Per- kins lives in the Dorchester but knew nothing of the WIPE order or the new cooling system.

VICTOR IS PROMISED BY ADOLF HITLER
Fuehrer Not as CoekY in Speech as Last Year.
 SaysNazis Will Hold

BERLIN, Sept. 30.-Hitler told his people today We believe we can continue to defeat our enemies until final victory is ours and as- sured the nation that Stalingrad would fall, during a speech to the Nazi party made in packed Sports Palast, in which he broke five months silence.
 The Fuehrer declared that if the British try again to invade Europe, no matter where, They can deem themselves lucky if they stay nine hours on the continent as they did at Dieppe, for we have made thor ough preparations to welcome them. We are determined to hold this year what we have, and will attack where we believe it necessary"

 The address was part of Hitler's customary winter relief campaign. On the same occasion last October 4, Hitler told the Nazis Now we can declare the enemy has already been broken and will never rise again."
 Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was one of the galaxy of top Nazi leaders present during the speech. Stunned by his return from North Africa, the crowd earlier greeted him with tumultuous cheers.
 Hitler emphasized Rommels pres ence by stop.sing on his way to the speakers stand to shake hands.
 Prepare for Invasion
 After three references to Dieppe Hitler said We shall not pretend we are not preparing for a second front"
 He told the crowd "As for our enemleS, It IS nothing If We take Stalingrad, if we pierce through the Caucasus, if we capture the Ukraine and the Don, and if we gain the grain and oil of Europe. But if they are able to make a landing and painfully succeed in keeping this foothold for nine hours, this for them is an extraordinary sign of force which the British Empire would be able to bring up.
 If I had an enemy of great military caliber, could figure out where he would attempt to attack but as I have to deal with ar enemy who is a military idiot, one cannot say where the invasion at tempt will be made"
 He declared, however. "The houi will come when we will answer
