 The Treasury said that the Vic tory tax credits for taxpayers for post war rebates and current debt payments would aggregate $l,169,- 100000 year. The committee fixed the amount at $1,100,000,00

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON - Very quietly the Government is moving to take over the short wave broadcasting stations of the entire country.
 Four years ago, when Roosevelt was charged with being a socialis- tic New Dealer, Congress debated for days over the idea of one lone Government radio station, and a terrific lobby was organized to block it,
 But now the taking over of a group of private stations is not causing a ripple. In fact, the big broadcasting companies, whi h never made profit on short wave, seem anxious to let the stations go.
 The deal is being worked out by Elmer Davis's OWI, and will in- clude three large international sta- tions owned by NEG, CBS and Crosley. All programs will origin ate from the General Motors Build ing in New York except for some programs to be prepared by the Rockefeller Committee in Wash ington. A hook-up is planned with certain foreign stations, particular ly the Fighting French outlet in Brazzaville.
 Director of the new network is slated to be Pete Nelson, former head of World Broadcasting in Boston.
 Congressional approval will be necessary but, in contrast to the fight of several years ago, is ex- pected to be easy.
