Of Tax Bill
Finished

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (FP)-
The senate finance committee has
completed the writing of a bill
which adds only 81 billion 284
million to taxes to be paid in 1914,
but manages to make it even more
unfair TO low-income groups than
the current taxes.
The new flat 3ao tax on all in
comes over 1924 year regardless
of dependents or marital status,
would take the place Of the $50
so-called victory tax. The original
victory tax provided for exemp-
tions and postwar refunds.
The senate committees bill adds
about s144,000,000 to the bill ap-
proved by the house Nov. "a. The
Treasury had asked for $10h
billion revenue measure, and ex-
emption Of 100000 wage earners
in the lowest income groups from
taxation.
Both the ways and means and
finance committees ignored Treas
ury requests TO follow the line
laid down by the Natl. Assn. of
Manufacturers and the most vocal
Republicans in committee, that no
new taxes were necessary-unless
il would be a general sales tax.

RUSSIA:
Major Battles

Two hard battles ragged in south
ern Russia, with both sides slug
ging toe to toe west of the Ukrai-
nian capital Of Kiev, and the Reds
fighting for positions inside the
big Dnieper bend.
Throwing fresh reinforcements
into the Kiev battle, Russia's Gen.
Nicholas Vatutin counterattacked
Germany's advancing forces, which
picked up 40 miles after weeks Of
slow, bitter fighting.
Although Nazi Gen. Fritz Won
Mannstein's Kiev offensive ap-
peared to relieve Russian pressure
on Germany to the north, the Reds
continued to launch large-scale at
tacks to the south, where they
were fighting to secure bridge
heads across the Dnieper river to
set up a springboard toward Ru-
mania.
Success of Russian forces here
would threaten the Nazi-held iron
ore center of Krivoi Rog,

house passed and sent to the sen
ate a bill ordering OPA to boost
crude oil prices 80 cents to IA
cents barrel above the average

increased not less than 80 per

700 million ounces of silver have
gone to war, for use in war plants
and weapons. In addition, 3 million
ounces have been lend-leased to

Most of the silver was lent by

work, and much of this is expected
to be recovered. However, another
% million ounces was sold out
right to industry.
Based on 1910 figures, the U. S.

However, holdings have been
