By the Associated Press.
The House quickly adopted
procedure today which will pre-
vent floor amendments to the
$6,143, ,900, 900 tax bill and then
settled down to three days OF
general debate which will end
with Anal votes Monday.
Chairman SABBATH of the House
Rules Committee urged the MEM
bers to adopt what he said was "a
closed, gag rule" to govern consid-
Grafton Of the legislation even
though he said that he normally op-
posed such procedure.
Il have been informed" he said,
that this bill is not all-this is the
beginning. In view of that and
the fact that the Senate will con-
slider 1t, in the interest of early
needed action, I feel I should yield
on my convictions"
Mohe Taxes Expected.
Meanwhile Representative Tread
way, Republican, of Massachusetts,,
told the House that still more taxes
probably would be needed shortly
and that a sales tax must even
tually be availed Of" to help sustain
the war effort and distribute the
cost among all classes.
Making one of the opening
speeches in support of the pending
revenue bill, Representative Tread
way asserted:
Il would be less than candid if
did not add that further taxes may
be expected. InaSmuch as
further increases in taxes may be
reasonably anticipated, it may Be
argued that we might as well go the
whole limit now and have it over
with.
1T is my own view, however, that
taxpayers, individual and corporate,
can stand greater ultimate burden
If it is imposed gradually"
The ranking minority members Of
the Ways and Means Committee told
the House that the Treasury De-
partment was bitterly opposed" to
a sales tax and preferred to have
the bill fall short Of the goal rather
than take the sales tax to make up
the difference"
Ability to Pay Basis.
Whatever its demerits," he said,
1T must eventually be availed of to
help sustain the Government war
effort and distribute the cost over
all the people.
while it is argued that such a
tax falls more heavily on the poor,
this fact is Offset by the imposition
upon the more well-to-do of gradu-
ated income taxes, so that in the
end the total tax burden is still
upon basis of ability
to pay"
Representative Treadway said he
also would prefer the bill to set
excess profits rate of 80
per cent, instead of 871a per cent,
and rate on normal profits of 40
instead of As per cent. AS for in
dividuals. he said he believed a $500
for single persons was
much preferable to the proposed
$500 level. The committee reduced
the present single exemptions from
$3.50 and for married couples from
81 500 to 81 400.

VICHY, July 16.-The Vichy
French government announced
today that it had officially in
formed the United States that
the proposal by President Roose-
velt to move the nine interned
French warships from Alexan-
dria to Martinique had to be ere
jected as contrary to the honor
and interests of France"
The French note, sent July 13 to
Washington concluded: by expos
ing these dismantled warships to
attack by British forces President
Roosevelt would assume a respons-
ibility of extreme gravity which the
French government must once
more underscore"
The announcement was made on
the same day that the Vichy gov
ernment officially protested to
Washington against assignment of
United States military representa-
tives to Gen. Charles de Gaulle be-
cause, it was said, this constitutes
an attack on the sovereignty of
France"
Instructions Sent to Admiral.
With respect to the fleet, the an
nouncement disclosed that instruc-
tions had been sent to Vice Admiral
Rene Godfrey, commanding the
French ships at Alexandria, that
"in no case should they follow
British forces in their retreat and
that if the British attempted to
modest" them they should defend
themselves by all means at their
disposal"
The announcement, said Admiral
Godfrey had been ordered never to
allow the ships to "fall into foreign
hands"
The government said it had to re-
ject President Roosevelt's proposals
because it was bound by the arm
istice convention with Germany and
Italy to put French warships In
ports of Unoccupied France to be
immobilized for the duration.
