WASHINGTON, Aug. IS -
(P) - A treasury proposal that
would permit individuals to
take an income tax credit of up
to $3.50 for payments on old
debts, life insurance premiums
or for investment in govern
ment bonds awaited action by
the Senate finance committee
today.
While declining to discuss de-
tails of the proposal, Chairman
George (D-Ga) said the COM
mittee would dispose Of it be-
fore taking up suggestions that
the new revenue bill be revised
to provide for collection of in
come taxes on current basis.
Another member preferred not
to be quoted by name said the
treasury had proposed an allow
ance of up to IS per cent of to-
tai income for debt and insur-
ance payments or for the pur-
chase of government bonds.
MAY UP MAXIMUM
This member pointed out how
ever, that the $3.50 maximum
suggested by the treasury would
limit its benefits ,rgely to tax
payers in the lower brackets. He
said that an effort probably
would be made to increase the
maximum credit, If the debt de-
duction provision is adopted.
While this proposal promised
relief for debt-burdened taxpay-
ers in the low-income class, the
committee was reported studying
another suggestion that would

Raj Bombers
Strike Again
Upper RhinsIond
forget Of Roid

LONDON, Aug. IS - (P) -
A strong force" of Raj bomb
ers smashed at Frankfurt and
Wiesbaden and other detectives
in the Upper Rhineland last
night in the first Raj night at
tack on Germany in a week,
the Air Ministry said today.
The exact strength of the
force sent over Germany was
not disclosed, but the announc-
ed loss of Is planes indicated
that some 800 planes took part,
on the basis of a 5 per cent loss.
However bad weather over the
continent last night may have
contributed to the losses.
Frankfurt is on the Main Riv-
er, % miles from its confluence
with the Rhine at Mainz, and is
an important German CONNER
cial and industrial center.
Machinery, electrical supplies
and chemicals are its most i'm
portant products.
FASHIONABLE SPA
Wiesbaden is best known as a
fashionable spa, but it is also
a manufacturing city of some
importance and communica-
tons center.
(The Berlin radio broadcast a
DNB report that German planes
raided Dartmouth, a few miles
east of Plymouth on the English
south coast.)
Besides the two cities, rail
way detectives were attacked in
the Low countries by>planes OF
the fighter command and some
locomotives were destroyed, il
added.
The attack was the first al
night by Raj on Germany since
Aug. ID when Flensburg, Ger
man shipyard and submarine
building center near the Danish
border, was bombed.
