naval units had carried out attacks
on two Aleutian islands midway
between Dutch Harbor and Japa-
nese-held Kiska on Aug. 81, in the
course of which submarines had in
flicted "irreparable damage" on U.
S. cruiser of the Northampton class.
The Japanese broadcasts, heard
here by United Press, said the cruis-
er was hit by submarines raiding
the principal port of Nazan bay, on
Atka island, $50 miles west of
Dutch Harbor and $50 miles east
of Kiska, the nearest point of Japa-
nese occupation.
(The name of the second island
purportedly attacked by japanese
naval forces was inaudible.

waters had sunk two U. S. submar-
ines in mid-September.

Record Tax Measure
Becomes Law With
Presidents S Signature
To Raise $6,SS1 ,000, 900;
Increased Excise Levies
Effective November |
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A record breaking portion of
American income was drafted
into the war effort today by the
Nations biggest tax program.
President Roosevelt signed the
measure late yesterday less than an
hour and a half after he received
it from Congress. The first effects
will be felt November l when in
creased excise taxes on liquor, Gig
arettes, cigars and kindred items

The new act is estimated by the
Treasury to boost revenues by ap-
proximately s6,881 900, 900 collected
from incomes of about 45,000,0 900
persons.
The new individual income rates
range from 10 per cent on the first
dollar of taxable income to 88 per
cent at the top. This is accom-
plished by a normal tax of 6 per
cent to which is added a graduated
surtax ranging from 13 per cent to
81 per cent.
On top of that, the bill imposes
a new victory tax of per cent on
individual income in excess of 1924
annually, or $12, weekly. - Limited

ments, insurance premium pay
ments, war bond purchases and
postwar rebates.
The new law also increases cor
poration taxes by 9 percentage
points, raising them to 40 per cent,
through combined normal and
surtaX. In addition, excess profits,
after an exemption of $1,000, are
taxed at 80 per cent.
Mr.. Roosevelt signed the bill,
though the Treasury had called it
inadequate and though he personally
found it Objectionable in two re-
spects.
He had asked Congress to include
a provision for the taxation of fu-
ture issues of State and municipal
bonds. This was defeated.
In addition, the Senate attached
an amendment freezing social Sc
curity payroll taxes at their present
level of l per cent each on employer
and employe. 1t had been planned
that they should rise to 2 per cent
each at the beginning of 1943 and
Mr.. Roosevelt asked that the in
crease become effective.
However, the Chief Executive did
not resort to the constitutional de-
vice which he used to make an
Objectionable tax bill effective sew
eral years ago. In that instance,
he let the measure become law with
out his signature.
