STATE

Said to combine the excitement of the highly successful Union Pa- cific", in which Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea and Brian Donlevy ap- peared together for the first time and the romantic fireworks of "Ball of Fire" the new dramatic hit, '"The Great Mans Lady" arrived at Warmers State theater this after noon with the same three stars in leading roles.
 Reports have 1t that the picture has more than its share of thrill Ingm moments, and that the three stars top everything they have done before-individually and collectively which ought to make "The Great Mans Lady" one of the outstand- ing films of the year.
 The sweep and power Of our own great country and the courage of the men and women who made It's de- velopment possible are unfolded in the new hit. The story starts and ends in our time, but in the in. terim 1t takes us back as long ago as ls4S when most of America was trackless waste. Barbara Stanwyck, then Q young impetuous girl, elopes from her staid Philadelphia home with Joel McCrea whose dream 1t is to build Q great city out west.
 Together they brave the hardships and heartbreaks of years that yield nothing but failure. McCrea is finally convinced by Barbara that he must pull up stakes, go further west to prospect for gold, then re- turn and pour the wealth into the realization of their dream. But McCrea loses the few dollars he has, plus all their livestock, to gam bier Brian Donlevy, whose honesty is d come con few suckers can resist.
 Barbara succeeds in winning back their possessions from Donlevy who loses his heart to her as well. It is Barbara who discovers that Me- Crea has struck silver-Silver which eventually makes him a millionaire. But by then Barbara has been reie- rated to the back street of his life, with Donlevy very much in the foreground of hers.
 The story Is intensely interesting. It wouldn't be fair to reveal It In Iss entirety. This much can De told.

Pirates Have Lost Ten
 Straight Riddle Loses Three Hitter to PhiIs
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

Umlge0 Press Sgam correspondent
 New York, June 3.-(UP)-The way the Brooklyn Dodgers began their second western invasion cer- tainly was enough to make the other contenders curl up and in- quire, LAW, what's the use?"
 The Dodgers set new high scor- ing record for the National League season yesterday when they shelled Pittsburgh for a 17-2 victory. Led by Pete Reiser, who had a perfect day at bat, "5 for S." the Dodgers blast ed out 20 hits for total of g bases against three pitchers, Aldon Wilde, Johnny Lanning and Ken Jungels.
 After the Dodgers had rung up a big lead, Manager Leo Durocher sent in his junior varsity and they continued the bambardment of the hapless Pirates. Frankie Frisch, Pi- rate pilot, was fit to be tied" after the slaughter. The Pirates have now lost ten straight and 16 out of their last IS games.
 Reiser hit a homer, single, three doubles and added g points to his batting average as he climbed from .343 to 1866, only seven points be- hind Babe Phelps, the league-lead- CT who presently is riding the Pi- rate bench. Reiser might have joined the exclusive "6 for 6" club if he hadn't injured his instep slightly trying to score from third in the seventh. Tn sliding into the plate his foot came down heavily on catcher Al Lopez's mask.
 Behind such murderous hitting rookie Les Webber, drafted from Seattle last fall, had an easy time registering his second straight vic- tory. He previously had beaten the Cubs.
 Tight Fit
 The St. Louis Cardinals had a close call in their night game against the Boston Braves before 11,516 at St. Louis but pulled through to win, 4-3. Going into the ninth, the Cards led Al but Sibby Sisti's triple scored two runs with one out. Johnny Beazley then came to re- lieve the tiring Mort Cooper and got Jim Tobin and Tommy Holmes for the two final outs. It was Cooper's fifth victory and Tobin's seventh de- feat and fourth in row. He hasn't won since he hit the four homers against the Cubs May 13, The Braves outheld didn't make put out. Paul Waner got two hits and now needs only nine to reach the charmed 5000 circle.
 A hoodoo still is bounding Elmer Riddle, last years leading pitcher in the National League. He held the PhilS to three hits in nine innings but the Reds lost, 1-0, in the tenth when Joe Abreau, filling in at third bobbled a bunt. Abreau previously had killed Cincinnati rally in the ninth by hitting into double play

Senate Group
Confirms Tax Act

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-(UP)
The Senate Finance committee to-
day confirmed its previous tentative
action adopting an additional five
per cent victory" tax on gross in
come S3,65O 100000 in revenue.
The proposed new tax would be
levied in addition to the proposed
higher regular income taxes. It
would become effective on earnings
beginning next Jan. and would
not apply to earnings of the current
year.
The Victory" tax was chosen in
preference to three Treasury sug-
gestions designed to telescope the
new tax into existing income tax
structure.
SETUP COMMITTEE
The committee also adopted a
resolution to set up joint commit
tee to further the problem of COM
pulsory savings, indicating that
principal would be left out of the
pending tax bill as such.
Chairman Walter F.. George, D.,
Ga. sponsor of the Victory" tax,
said that the new levy, which would
be collected by employers out of the
pay checks of workers, would elm
mate the five per cent Withholding
tax in the House-approved bill.
Under that measure, advance COL
lections were to be made on l943
income taxes next year, while tax
payers were making their regular
payments on 1912 taxes.
He said the committee also de-
cided against requiring taxpayers
to make returns on Jan. Is each
year. voting instead to retain the
present filing Gate of March Is.
The Victory tax" would apply
to the earnings of all individuals
in excess of $12 a week, $50 a
month or 1924 year.
WOULD GET REBATE
A single man would be entitled
to a rs per cent rebate on the tax,
and a married man would be en-
titled to 40 per cent. The rebate,
or refund, would be payable either
at the end of the tax year or after
the war, depending upon certain
circumstances.
If the taxpayer spent certain
part of his income during the tax
year for the purchase of bonds, re-
payment of debt or life insurance
premiums, he would be entitled to
Imperial Valley press., 1942-09-09

his rebate on the victory tax at the
end of the year. If none of his
income we're spent for such pur-
chases, he would not receive his re-
fund Until after the war.
Sen. Robert A. Taft, R. l., spon-
sored the resolution to provide for
study of compulsory savings. 1t
would create committee of 10,
with five members from the senate
finance group and five from the
house Ways and Means committee,
to explore the situation with Sec
retary of the Treasury Henry Nor
genthau, jr., and submit report OF
President Roosevelt and to Con-
gress by next Jan. H.
NOT PASSED
George said the committee still
has not passed on the individual
income tax rates provided in the
House-approved bill, which increase
the normal tax to six per cent and
carry graduated surtaxes, applica-
BILE to the first dollar of income
above exemptions, starting at 13
per cent.
Many changes affecting revenue
have been made since the tax bill
left the House, and no official es-
Inmates exist of the potential yield
of the Senate's current version.
Unofficially, however it is es-
timated that the $6,270, 100000 an
nual revenue total approved by the
House has been increased to about
ST $40 100000 in actual taxes by
er with provisions for raising about
Senate committee changes, togeth-
81 $50 100000 annually in revenue
which would be repaid to taxpayers
during or after the war. That
would mean a bill swelling federal
receipts by about s9,52O,OOOoOO to
aggregate nearly $4,000, 100000.
