Speaker Rayburn today ap-
pointed Representative Lea,
Democrat, of California as
chairman of the special commit
tee investigating the Federal
COMMUNICATIONS Commission.
Mr.. Lea succeeds Representative

resigned as chairman and men,
ber of the committee last week.
Mr.. Lea is chairman of the Inter-
state Commerce Committee. which
has handled all communications
legislation in the House and has
made several studies of the FEC.
Speaker Rayburn referred to Mr.
Lea as "a man of splendid courage
and great ability and said he was
possessed of splendid judicial
temperament and his fairness can
not be questioned"
Mr.. Cox, announcing his resigna-
ton to the House last Thursday
said he was bowling to the wishes OF

Tax Explained
Example Of Proposed
Integroted Levy
~ the Associated Press,


Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau gave these examples of how
the new integrated Victory, normal
and first bracket surtax proposal
would work:
A married person with two de-
pendents: Under the present law,
the income tax exemption would
amount to 800, and the Victory
tax exemption would usually
amount to 1924. Under the pro-
posal there would be one exemption
amounting to $1,700.
Such a person having a net in
come of $1,000 a year will pay a
gross tax under the present law Of
s25, of which S11 is his refundable
Victory tax credit. Under the new
proposal, he will not be required to
pay any tax at all.
IF such person is earning $4,000
year, he is now paying a gross tax
of 1927, of which $50 is his Victory
tax credit. Under the new proposal,
he would pay 1884, or s57 more than
his present gross tax
"A married person with two de-
pendents earning $4,000 a year Is
now paying total of s1,735, OF
which s182 is his Victory tax credit.
Under the present proposal, he
would pay $2,523, or S788 more than
his present gross tax.
AT $25,000 per year, married
person with two dependents is now
paying $10,171 of which $597 is his
Victory tax credit. Under the new
proposal he would pay s13,75o, or
$3.50 more than his present gross
tax"

Oct. 4.-Their last important
coastal supply base gone and
their land flank beset by a COL
umn Of Australian troops, the
japanese on New Guinea S Huon
Peninsula today were squeezed
between the mountains and the
sea.
The enemy's position, Gen. Doug
las Macarthur said in a communi-
que was futile if not untenable, and
the Allies had every reason to be-
lieve the entire Northeastern New
Guinea shoreline as far as Madang
was within grasp.

anchorage and air station on the
eastern coast of the Huon PENN

That in itself assured the Allies
final control of the Huon Gulf. on
which Lac and Salemaua are sit
uated.
But through simultaneous air
and ground advance, pressed per-
sistently up the Markham River
from Lac and over the mountains of
interior New Guinea to the Ramu
River Valley on the northwest, the
Allies have achieved dominance of
the entire peninsula as well.
The speed of this double en-
velopement caught the enemy COM
pletely by surprise and has resulted
not only in the dislocation of his
grip on British New Guinea but has
caused him large losses with no COM
pensating damage inflicted on our
own forces" Gen. Macarthur d--
clared triumphantly
1T has outfanked and contained
all enemy centers between Finsch-
hafen and Madang and rendered
practically useless numerous posi-
tons and installations along the
coast"
Losses Declared Light.
Madang, former capital of Ger
man New Guinea, lies nearly 200
miles northwest of Finschhafen.

communique last night which told
of the sinking of a number of troop
laden ships which apparently were
attempting to evacuate the rem
nantS of the shattered German army
across the narrow Kerch Strait to
the Crimea.
On the central front Moscow said.
more than 1000 Nazis were killed as
the Russians stormed across the
Pronya River, % miles east Of
Mogilev, to occupy 10 villages in a
maneuver which threatened to turn
the German flank in that sector.
Red Airmen Active.
The Soviet ground forces were
supported by Red Army airmen,
who pounded both Mogilev and

sian communique said were repulsed
with German losses of more than

3 to miles and captured 20 villages.
The Russians apparently were
stalled at the Dnieper River barrier
in the vicinity of Kiev and Dnepro-
