One Per Cent
.aybeAdded
to Income Tax
Committee Turns
to War Revenues

Washington, July 11-INS-After
voting to levy $4,000, 900 addition
al in taxes on personal incomes. the
House Ways and Means Committee
met today to complete its work on
the $4,000, 000,O0O-plus war revenue
bill
In an unusual night session. the
committee agreed to hike surtay
rates by one per cent in all cate
gories, thus proposing to collect
total o. s2,965,O0O additional from
personal incomes. As the bill now
stands, personal income tax rates
are six per cent, and surtax rates
begin at Is per cent, instead of the
Il per cent previously adopted.
The committee also voted extra
exemptions for persons in the armed
forces, which will have the effect
of excluding lowest ranking Army
and Navy enlisted men from having
to paw any federal tax on their gov.
eminent pay.
Higher ranking officers will ben
eft from the exemption also, as all
members, regardless of rank, are
given $3.50 exemption If single
and $1,000 II married.
Exemptions for civilians are $500
for single persons and 1920 for
married couples.
The bill, as revised to date by the
committee. calls for total annual
collections of s6,046.000,00O but
$685. 100000 OF this amount collect
ed from corporation war-pI ofits, will
be paid back to industry to aid re-
conversion to peace time manufac-
turing in the postwar period.

guage so democratic that no one
regarded him as the car he is,
Donald NJ. Nelson today left this
message with the world.
There is no confusion about the
rubber situation in the United
States-'we know exactly where
We are
Steel is needed badly, and the
days may be dark.
Industry under his re-allignment
of the War Production Board
which he rules singlehandedly will
shoulder the responsibility OF pro-
duction, "as it should be-.
But that Americas industrial
and scientific genius. her patriotic
people, and "the best soldiers in
the world" will in the end bring
victory over the Axis menace.
1t was perhaps his strongest
talk, and it came before 1000 of
the nations automobile directors
and planners at meeting OF the
Automobile Council for War Pro-
duction last night.
Growing grim after smiling at a
toastmaster's remark that he left
a cabinet meeting in Washington
TO come to Detroit to get a hair
cut, Nelson declared:
Believe me. the rubber question
is not confused. There are some
who would have it confuseds but
we have a program laid out-and
we are going to follow it. Plants
are underway TO meet the rubber
shortage caused by the Japs, and

and final responsibility
Nelson then reviewed the gigantic
job thrust upon the nation after
Pearl Harbor, particularly the NAM
moth automobile industry in the
Detroit area which today is grind
ing out big and little machinery
and weapons for the destruction of
the enemy. He added:
We've been wasteful in the past.

CRUDE PRICE
INCREASED TO
SAVE STRIPPERS

Price adjustments on much Of the
crude petroleum produced in the Lima
Oil Field Of northwestern Ohio and
northeastern Indiana were granted by
the Office of Price Administration to
halt premature abandonment Of the
wells and thus insure continued supply
of low-cost fuel oil produced from this
crude.
The price of approximately three
quarters of the fields production was
increased twenty-five cents a barrel
The action was taken In Amend

Information in the possession Of

Supply of Lead
Meeting Demands

Sustained production of lead plus
imports substantially greater than
normal are supplying all war needs
and building a Government stockpile,
the WPB reported. Erwin Volgelsang,
Chief of the Tin and Lead branch,
said lead is the one important metal
in which shortage does not exist at
the persent time, even though U. S.
use of lead for all purposes has in
creased from $4,000 tons in 1886 to
more than 1000 900 tons in 1941. Re-
covered secondary lead in 1912 will
total about 80 percent of the 100000
tons recovered In 1941, and the
1913 supply of such lead will be only
about rs percent of 1871, because auto
mobile batteries in the past were the
main contribution to the scrap pile
and the supply of these is decreasing.
