New Provision

Washington, June 3 INs-The
House Ways and Means Committee
was reliably reported today to have
WritteHIa new taxing provision into
the pending war revenue measure,
making the receiver OF alimony pay
taxes on such income.
Heretofore. the person who paid
the alimony had to pay the tar as
well, because such payments were
not permitted 10 be deducted from
personal incomes.
The committee tentative deci-
sion represents a victory for thou

have long considered the Treasurys
policy on alimony taxation az one
OF the most unfair OF all tax regula

Another far-reacbing provision
approved by the committee covered
the charEe-off for bad debts In the
past. a bad debt could not be deduct

statute OF limitations had estab.

collected.
In the future. according to the

Dollar
Appropriation
BinReported
For Submarines,
Plants

Washington. June SINS -
Adding almost two billion dollars
TO the nations war account. the
House Appropriations Committee
today reported the seventh supple
mental defense appropriations bill
including s1,O37,30O, 600 for ayia-
ton plants and submarines.
The committee eliminated ST.
115,000000 in proposed contrac-
tural authority for 100000 tons OF
naval auxiliary vessels but the
measure is expected TO be amend
ed from the floor to provide that
amount, as requested Monday by
President Roosevelt.
AS 1t stands, the bill will bring
to s163,00O,O00,0O0 the total amount
authorized or appropriated for war
purposes over a three-year period.
In addition to the contractual
authorizations, 1t provides direct
appropriations Of S654,999,74O for
the fiscal years 194l-1943 inclusive.
These include 1912 items OF $685.
$4,000 for Navy, Marine and Coast
Guard personnel expenses, 5000,
100000 for capital increase in the
naval supply account fund, $751;
100000 for defense installations on
merchant vessels. sl6,500,0 900 for
new ship construction and $3s,4S0,.
900 for port security.
The two big items OF 1912 con-
tractual authority are sl50,000,00O
for aviation plant facilities and
1887, 100000 for additional subma-
rine tonnage. The $l,115,000, 900
for auxiliary naval ships was knock
ed out because the House has not
yet authorized that amount.
