Hearing Asked 70 Drop
Personal Exemptions
In Income Taxes
IS Per Cent Of Families
Are Paying No Levy
House Committee Told
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
M. l.. Seidman of the New York
Board of Trade recommended to
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee today that personal exemp-
tions in income taxes be dropped
for the duration of the war.
Asserting there was mo justifica-
ton for personal exemptions under
present circumstances" Mr.. Seid-
man told the committee during
hearings on Treasury recommended
tions for $3.50, 900 900 in new taxes:
I'VE now completely exempt from
income tax about three-quarters of
the number of our families, about
half the number of our wage
earners, and more than half of our
total national income. This state
of affairs the Secretary proposes to
continue. I cannot see how this
can be justified in the face of pres
ent conditions, and in the light of
his proposal to double the tax on
middle-class incomes and to prac-
tically exterminate upper-class in
comes.
Those who have had their taxes
increased last year are now to have
them doubled, but those who paid
no taxes before Pearl Harbor are
to continue in the fair-haired-boy
class. That simply does not make
sense. ''' Taxing half of our ma
tional income out of existence so
that the more popular half may get
by nearly scot-free. is an intolerable
condition that does not augur we'll
for national harmony"
Present annual exemptions are
$3.50 for a single person and 81 500
for a married person, plus $400 for
each dependent.
Mr.. Seidman contended also that
the Treasury's recommended cor
porate taxeS-55 per cent normal
and surtax plus an excess profits
levy starting at so per cent-were
too large.
If corporate normal and sur
taxes were to start at SIS per cent,
he said, an excess profits levy
should be avoided But If the ex-
cess profits tax were imposed, he
argued, combined normal and sur
taxes should take no more than
one-third of a company's income.
Mr.. Seidman advocated that
every person pay direct tax, even
If 1t is cents" rather than in
direct levies.
Republican Duncan, Democrat, of
Missouri argued that if personal
exemptions were removed, the small
wage Garner who he said now pays
rs per cent OF all excise taxes,
would be too hard hit.

Super Strategy Board
with One Commander
Urged by Senator
Hill Wants Air, SEQ
And Lund Forces Under
Single Responsible Head
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A proposal that President
Roosevelt set up a super war
strategy board. headed by sin
gle commander in chief for both
Army and Navy, was made today
by Senator Hill of Alabama, the
Democratic whip.
Speaking as a member of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee,
Senator Hill told reporters he had
become convinced that immediate
unification Of command here over
land, sea and air forces was neces-
sary If the United States was to
develop its maximum military strik-
ing power.
Although the Alabama Senator
professed to be expressing only his
personal viewpoint. the fact that
the suggestion came from an i'm
portant administration supporter in
Congress was regarded as signifi-
cant.
Urges Single Commander.
Applauding the recent reorgani-
zation of the Army which gave the
air force equal rank with the ground
and supply branches, Senator Hill
said he felt the appointment Of one
supreme commander for Army, Navy
and Air, operating under the Presi-
dent, would carry this principle to
its logical conclusion
I'VE must concentrate all of our
forces and resources in one great
striking machine and if we are to
have this machine working at maxi
mum efficiency, the three main COM
ponents of our military forces must
be co-ordinated and integrated to
the greatest possible extent" he de-
clared.
That can not be done" he con-
tinued, unless there is a super
staff, headed by a supreme COM
mander, working here in Washing
ton to make strategy decisions and
to assume the responsibility OF CO.
ordinating our military efforts"
The same sort of coordination
ought to be carried out in the field,
he declared, with one commander
charged with the employment OF
Army, Navy and air branches in
the accomplishment of any assigned
military task. He said he was in
formed progress toward this goal
had been made in the fighting
theaters.
President Now Has Power.
Senator Hill pointed out, however
that in Washington only the busy
President had actual authority to
coordinate the work of the Army
and Navy, since both branches
operated as individual units, each
having its own air force.
The Alabama Senator said he felt
the President had ample authority
under the War Powers Act to set up
such a strategy board as he had
suggested, just as Mr.. Roosevelt
ordered revision of the Army setup
recently. For that reason, he said
he was not urging legislative action.
Such a strategy board. he con-
tinued, ought to be made up of an
equal number Of Army, Navy and
air officers. He added that he was
uninterested in which branch fur
nished the supreme commander. so
long as a competent man was picked
Senator Hills suggestion created
interest among other members Of
the Military Committee, particularly
Senator Austin of Vermont, the
assistant minority leader. who has
been an advocate of unification Of
the command In the field.
Senator Austin said that before
the committee decided for or against
such plan, he wanted to learn what
Army and Navy officials thought

if Mr.. Kern has such information
it is up to him to place it before

declared his inquiry showed the city

Hart Returns Home
To Report 10 Knox,;
Winant Also Back
Admiral Declares Loss of
Campaign Does Not
Mean Loss of War
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 9.-Two dis
tinguished Americans were home to-
day from their posts at opposite ends
of the earth.
Alighting from a Pan-American
Clipper yesterday, Admiral Thomas
C. Hart, who resigned recently as
Allied naval chief of the Southwest
Pacific on account of his health,
| said when you lose compaign, you
do not necessarily lose a war"
John G. Winant, Ambassador to
Great Britain, also arriving on the
Clipper, declared British reverses in
the Pacific have increased the de-
termination of the British people to
fight"
Both are planning to report to
Washington within day or two.
Hart Will Report to Knox.
Admiral Hart said he was still
chief Of the Asiatic feet "in sort of
legalistic way" but that he was
unable to say what his future assign
ment would be.
Il can't tell you anything that's
any good" he told interviewers.
I'm on my way to report TO the
Secretary Of the Navy and I've got
to tell him first"
He said that he had been travelling
"for 20 days from Java to New York.
The first six days was in my proper
element-on the water-and the rest
in the air"
Admiral Hart seemed rested by his
air voyage, but said he would go to
his home at Sharon, Conn, ito get
some sleep and to recover from the
effects of African food poisoning"
before going to Washington today
or tomorrow.
Comment on ReversaIs.
Asked to coment on the recent
reversals suffered by United Nations
forces in the Far East, the 64-year-
old admiral replied:
When you get right down to it
II what the newspapers have been
printing is the truth-we are pretty
nearly at point where we will have
TO retake it."
Admiral Hart added "the Japs
have had losses, all right-just how
great they are it is best to 20 on
what has been given out by the
Navy Department. They know better
than I do"
Mr.. Winant, who appeared in ex-
cellent health, was met by his wife.
He said that he would phone the
White House before going to Wash
ington to confer with President
Roosevelt.
Il don't plan to stay long" he
added, indicating his intention to
return as soon as possible to his
post in London.
The Ambassador expressed belief
the British cabinet had been
strengthened by recent changes.
Hart Arrives Unexpectedly.
Mr.. Winant's arrival had been ex-
pected for several days, but the
appearance of Admiral Hart was
unexpected.
