Service Men Given
Special Exemption
In New Income Tax
Civilian Provisions to
See No Changes From
Proposed Low Figures

WASHINGTON, July II.
(UP)-All officers and en-
listed men of the nations
armed forces will be granted
special concessions in COM
putting their income taxes-and ad-
ditional personal exemption of $3.50
for single men and $500 for mar
ried men-the text of the new war
revenue bill disclosed today.
The provision was written into
the $4,000, ,000,0 900 measure at spe-
cial night session of the house ways
and means committee called to rush
action on the most gigantic revenue
program IN the nations history.
Under the proposal, military
personnel would be granted the
same personal income tax exemp-
tions as under present law-$75O If
single and 81 500 If married.
Single civilians would have to pay.
on all income over $500 while mar
ried men not in uniform would be
required to pay on everything over
$1,000. An attempt to boost the ex-
emption for single persons to $500
was voted down.
SURTAX BOOSTED
The committee also voted to in
crease the new individual income
sur-tax rates by one percentage
point in each bracket. Surtaxes
under the new bill thus would
range from l3 per cent on the
first $4,000 of taxable income to
80 per cent on all personal income
over 100000.
The boost in rates was designed
to raise $310,0000OO to offset rev.
enue-losing notifications previous
ly approved. The bill, however, still
will fall some s3,000.000,000 short
of the goal set by the treasury.
SALARY DEDUCTIONS
The bill provides for income tax
deduction from wage and salary
checks beginning next January of
only five per cent, instead of the
10 per cent originally proposed.
Withholding of 10 per cent will be-
gin in 1914.
The committees concession to the
armed forces has the effect of ex-
empting buck privates in the Army
and Marines and seamen in the
Navy from income tax payments.
The new surtax rates will boost
payments all along the line. be-
ginning with the cheapest rate of
$19 on each $100 of income above
the amount allowable as a personal
exemption.
The committees decision to with
hold only five per cent of 1943 in
come is subject to change pending
a final vote on the bill.
1t originally adopted a treasury
proposed plan for a 10 per cent
withholding tax. Half OF the
amount would have been applied to
1912 income and the remaining five
per cent to l943 earnings. Then in
1914, the entire 10 per cent would
apply to current income.

herOiSm in the battle OF Midway.
The citation was announced by 1t.
Gen. Delos c. Emmons at Honolulu.
Moore's citation commended his
heroism and courage for leaving
his station to administer to the
wounds of three wounded members
of the crew and manning gun
position whose gunner was totally
disabled and fighting off enemy
fighters"
Lieut.. James P. Muri, Miles City,
Mont. Moore's buddy and pilot of
one of two torpedo planes which
sank an aircraft carrier of the larg-
est class in the battle of Midway,
also was awarded the Distinguished
Service Cross. Moore was co-pilot
on his plane The commander of the
flight, pilot of the other plane, was
another of the % men who were
decorated. He was Capt. James c.
Collins, Meridian, Miss.
THRILLING STORY
Behind the official citation ac-
companying Moore's award was a
thrilling story of quick thinking
and quick action In crisis which
might have been fatal for all
aboard his plane. S os-
The plane had just loosed its
torpedo for direct hit on a big
Jap aircraft carrier when its rear
gunner. Earl D. Ashley, shouted
that he had been hit. Moore leap
ped from the co-pilot's seat, made
his way to the tail of the plane,
dragged the wounded gunner from
his place and drove off Jap Zero
fighters which Muri afterwards de-
scribed as "thick as flies"
That much of the story had been
known in Ell Centre. From the word
ing of the citation, it was evident,
however, that Moore's job did not
end there-that he was busy vir-
tually until the flight ended ad-
ministering to wounded crew men,
bers and keeping lookout for more
of the enemy.
The torpedo plane, when it land
ed, was found to have been virtual
ly shot to pieces.
Moore, although the first valley
ite in U. S. armed forces to receive
the award which is second only to
the Congressional Medal of Honor,
was not the first from this region
to be decorated for valor. That hon
or went to Lieut.. James Peck of
the American Eagle Squadron, RAF7,
who received the Distinguished Fly
ing Cross from Britain for bravery
over Malta.
Others as yet undecorated, but
whose aerial exploits have made
front page news from coast to coast,
include probably a larger per capita
percentage of valleyites than any
other similar comparatively small
community can claim.
They include Lieut.. Lamar Gill
lett, bomber pilot in Australia whose
exploits have won him newspaper
and magazine recognition; Capt
Bob Thacker. undoubtedly a candi-
date for high ranking decoration
because of his fighting heroism in
the air; Major Edwin Green, now
commander of an air squadron,
who took part in the raid on Tokyo;
Bombardier Gene Dreasher, whose
bomber was shot down in the far
east, and who bailed out into the
sea and made his way to an unin-
habited island in spite of critica!

radioman, whose bomber was shot
