mand said today patrol activity and
artillery exchanges on the Egyptian

The Sicilian attacks were an

The S per cent withholding tax
starting in January is estimated to
yield 81 $50 ,000, ,000 and will be cred
tied as part of the tax the wage
Garner ordinarily would owe on
March Is, 1914. Since the normal
and first surtax bracket rates for
1943 total 10 per cent, the individ-
ual will still have lump sum tax
to pay in 1914
Under the House bill, the with
holding tax goes up to 10 per cent
for 1914, but, again, that will be
only part of the 1914 total tax,
so that lump sum payments will be
due in 1945.

Mr.. Brown reported that the total
