excessive taxation"
Tables Talk
Doughton said tables presented to
the committee by the Treasury to
justify its program indicated that
of 1857, 000,000,000 of income pay
ments estimated for the calendar
year 1914, individuals having net in
comes of under $1,000 will receive
$96 000, 900, 900.
yet he added, "of the $780,
100000 additional revenue to be de-
rived from the individual tax under
the Treasury's plan only $1700,-
100000, or quarter of the total,
would come from these individuals.
"If the primary purpose of this
revenue legislation had been to COM
! bat initiation, it would have been
necessary to levy heavy additional
income taxes On those persons hav-
ing incomes of $4,000 per year or
less, because it is in this group that
81 per cent of the increased national
income lies"
Discussing revisions in the war
contracts renegotiation Cct, which
the committee bill carries, Dough-
ton said many contractors had
grounds for complaint under exist
ing law.
I'VE have gone long way in this
bill towards removing many of the
! grounds for the complaints which
were directed against the present
procedure" he said, "by placing the
| ~ n
upon amore nearly equal footing"
Only minor Skirmishes-- involving
the proposed boost in postal rates
and so per cent hike in the liquor
tax were expected in the House.
Amendments will be restricted by
special rule to those authorized by
| the Ways and Means Committee.
Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D.,
N. c., said none were anticipated.
Knutson said the Republicans
were determined to preserve and
encourage free enterprise and OPP
portunity in America rather than
destroy them through excessive tax
alton.
Time Has Come
'The time has come" he added,
when we can no longer safely del
egate, without supervision, the
spending of the taxpayers hard
earned money to individuals In the
executive bra1-ch who labor under
the delusion that the money the
government pays out is the product
of printing press, when any school,
how knows that every cent the gov
erEment eXpends, must at one time
or another, in one form or another,
be wrung from the people in taxes"
Knutson said that if the Republic
can party maintained its present
strength in Congress the country
could look forward to tax reductions
rather than increases.
Certainly as soon as ,hostllltles In
the war cease, immediate attentlon
will be given to the revision OF our
whole tax structure with a view to
the realization of maximum reven-
ues consistent with the least inter-
ference with individual and business
enterprise" he said.
He said various congressional IN
quiries into war spending "have dis
closed that money is being squand-
ereu on every hand, not only Tor
military supplies far in excess OF
needs, but for items having no direct
connection with the war effort"
Knutson thus followed Republi-
can contentious that government
economies can more thai make up
for large portion of the levies re-
ouested by the administration and
rejected by the committee. He c'ted
the recent action by army in turn
ing back $4,000, 100000 of its 1914
AUTHORIZATION.

vile, at least. has been reduced one
grade to his permanent rank OF
colonel.
The New York Communist organ.
Daily Worker, referred TO the mat
ter this week in a dispatch by
Adam Lapin, Washington bureau
head. Lapin wrote that Faymon-
Vile apparently was the only Amer
lean army officer who had any reG
comprehension Of Soviet Union mil
itary might in the years before the
war. He was military attache in
Moscow from 1884 to 1889. when he
was recalled and assigned 10 an
obscure ordnance post.
The Daily Worker believes Fay
knoxville was being similarly treated
now.
Il cannot escape the feeling
Lapin wrote, chat the Faymonville
incident ties in with evidence that
the old prejudice against the Soviet
Union still fingers in the war de-
partment. With notable exceptions
lige the magnificent film, Battle Of
Russia, the war department has
been strangely grudging in its
praise for the Red army.
Raps Officers
Maybe some Of our army officers
would find that there is no deaEth
of information about the Red army
if they showed willingness to learn
instead of kicking around the one
army officer who was receptive and
open minded about the Soviet
Union
Lapin also accused Mai Gen.
George V. Strong, chief of military
intelligence, of Shocking failure
to grasp the scope and importance
of the Soviet offensive
If President Roosevelt. Prime
Minister Winston Churchill and
Premier Josef Stain meet IN con-
ference, military men here would
welcome a decision to make military
information mutually interchange
able between Washington, London
and Moscow.

Hoeven told reporters later thai
a veterans preference committee Of
an American Legion Post in his dis
trict had sent him a message which
read:
Respectfully request that you de-
mand a full Investigation Of the
General Patton incident with AEF
These are American soldiers and
not Germans. If our boys are to be
mistreated let's import Hitler and
do it up right
War Department spokesman said
military authorities were inclined
to do nothing more about the Incl
dent "unlsss there should develop a
great public clamor," pointing out
that General Dwight D. Eisenhower
had rebuked Patton "mercilessly'
and that Patton himself had apollo
gized to the soldier and others in
volved.
Pattons name was before the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
on a presidential request for his
advancement to the permanent
rank of ma general and Senator
Edwin c. Johnson. D.. Colo, a COM
nittee rlember, said Patton's action
would weigh heavily in the groups
action. He said the committe would
investigate unless the army clears
up the matter.
Senator Styles Bridges, r., N. H.,
another committee member, Sug-
gested that Patton himself might
have been rct1m of battle fatigue
as was the soldier he struck.
1T occurs to me-" Bridges said
that a general himself, long and
frequently exhausted due to the
rigors of actual battle as he per
sonally leads his troops into COM
bat, might be victim of battle IA
tigue without realizing it. After all
the condition is human affliction
and is not visited according to
rank; a general as well as a private
can be its victims for our generals

ferlng Battle fatigue, theu ability

| Nation Shocked
johnson said that America was
terribly shocked by the Patton bru-
tally story" and that as a dis
! culinary measure, "a slap on the
wrist will not suffice"
Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla, de.
clared Patton should have beer
cout-martialled. Official reports
from North Africa said the general
hao been severely called down by
Eisenhower, but had received nc
official reprimand or punishment
'because of his record.
The soldier in the case was not
officially identified, but it was re-
vealed that Private Charles Herman
Kuhl of Mishawaka, Ind, wrote tc
his family from Sicily last August
saying he had been slapped and
kicked by Gen. Patton. The letter
dated August 4, said:
Gen. Patton slapped my face
yesterday and kicked me in the
pants and cussed me. This probably
won't go through :" 1t did.
The Army revealed that the
soldier in its official case-possibly
Kuhl-twice refused to leave the
battle front and finally was hos
pitalized under orders. A week af-
ter the incident with Patton, he
was back at the front.
