Senators Reject
Plan toChanqe
Committee Agrees
To Payments Allowed
By Eight States

Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
By the Associated Press.
The Senate Finance Commit
tee rejected today a proposed
amendment to the new revenue
bill which would have required
the payment of taxes by the re-
cipient on all earned income in
the eight community property
States.
The action came on a vote Of
II to 4.
Then that means the community
property States can rest At ease for
at least another year a newsman
asked Chairman George.
That means they can rest at
ease responded Senator George.
He estimated that inclusion OF the
provision would have added approx
imately $85, 900 900 in new revenue
based on the income tax rates set
by the House.
Committee members said that the
proposal would have had the effect
of preventing a man from dividing
his earned income with his wife for
tax purposes, thus avoiding the in
creased rate of higher bracket.
Eight States have community tax
laws-Texas, California, Louisiana,
Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Idaho
and Washington.
The committee decided to close
its hearings on the revenue bill this
week, probably on Thursday.
Senator George said it then would
take weeks recess and begin its
executive deliberations two weeks
from today.
He said that persons wishing to
appear who have not been heard
would be given an opportunity to
file briefs.

Senator Lee Urges
Quick U. 5. Output
Of Cargo Planes
Head Of Committee
Scores Leaders for
Defeotist Attitude
b. the Associated Press.


Senator Lee, Democrat, of Ok
lahoma urged today Government
adoption of a three point pro-
gram to increase greatly the out
put of cargo-carrying planes as
an Offset to the submarine sink
ings OF war shipping.
In temporarily suspending the
hearings of his Military Affairs Sub
committee, which investigated the
program for cargo and troop trans
port planes, Chairman Lee reported
to the Senate the following conclu-
sions:
"First, the Government should in
crease the production of medium
sized cargo and troop transport air
craft by greater use of plywood.
Second, the Government should
Immediately launch a grand-scale
program for the construction of
giant cargo and troop transport fly
ing boats.
Third, the highest priorities
should be given to the construction
of aircraft. both combat and cargo"
Urges More Salvage.
Scoring the "defeatist attitude" of
some who maintained that we could
not increase the production of COM
bat aircraft" and increase that of
cargo aircraft, Senator Lee called
for more thorough collection Of
scrap metal, even going into the
kitchens and hardware stores, If
necessary, to find it.
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming interrupted to say that a
"defeatist attitude is to be found
throughout the Government bu-
reaus" for their failure to tap all
the Nations resources OF ore.
Il believe the people are ahead
of the Government in thinking of
air cargo transport" Senator Lee
said.
Senator Lee said program such
as he favored may require still
more sacrifice on the part of our
civilian population.
IF it is necessary in order to
build these planes for the Govern
ment to collect all the aluminium
from every kitchen in America, then
it must be done.
IT it is necessary to go into the
hardware stores and requisition crit
ical material, then that must be
done"
Monopoly Hint Made.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri, broke into Senator Lees ad-
dress to inquire whether the critical
metal situation would ever i'm
prove unless the death grip Of
some of the big companies is
broken"
Senator Lee responded that, while
he had mo definite evidence" of
metal monopolies, he believed there
were attempts under way on the
part of some to retain their con-
troll OF metals in the post war period.
From Senator Truman, Democrat,
of Missouri. chairman of the Spe-
cial Defense Investigating Commit
tee, came the assertion that the rec
ord would show that ''monopolistic
stranglehold" existed in aluminium,
lead, zinc, steel and "other metals, u
demonstrating on the part of some
persons more interest In retaining
their control of those metals than
in winning the war"
