Senate 10 Slash
Tax Bill Anew,
Walsh Predicts
Only Excess Profit
Levy May Survive
Attack, He Asserts

By the Associated Press.
Acting Chairman Walsh Of
the Senate Finance Committee
predicted yesterday that t41s
81, 140, 100000 House approved
tax bill-a crippled fragment Of
the $50, SOC, 900 900 asked by the
Treasury-will be subjected to
further violent amputations be-
fore the Senate is through with
/ it.
Little or no new revenue will b.
obtained unless new sources ara
found he said, characteriIng the
measure as full OF bad features
which are almost certain to b
eliminated.

position to proposed postal rate in
creases apparently knocks out an
expected 10000 900 gain, Senator
Walsh said. He looks for elimina-
ton also Of q projected per cent
tax on pari-mutuel betting at race
tracks, and reduction or elimination
Of House boosts in excise
rates. The excise and postal in
creases account for $1,368 500 900 Of
the bills total
The Massachusetts senator, who
! is presiding over the hearings dur
ing the illness of Chairman George,
said it is possible the bill may be
stripped of almost everything ex-
cept a proposed hike from 80 to e5
per cent in the corporate excess
profit rate. Many businessmen have
expressed their opposition to that
increase.
Prof. Fishers Plan.
One Of the most concrete s,lF-
gestions the committee has received
came yesterday from Irving Fisher,
professor emeritus OF economics at
Yale University. Mr.. Fisher, peren-
NAL booster for a spending tax, pro-
posed three-ply attack on inha-
ton by: Taxing spendings more,
taxing savings Lessor not at all
and making savings compulsory in
the form Of investments in War
Bonds"
IF we were all to live, as nearly
as practicable, on bread and water
and put everything We can produce.
beyond that barest living, into the
United States Treasury to be ex-
pended for the armed forces, We
would be doing our very best not
only toward winning the war but
toward combating imitation" he
said
! A dozen or more spokesman for
church, charitable and educational
institutions urged provision for adj
justment Of withholding taxes to
take into account anticipated con-
tributions to such activities.
Depend on Small Gifts.
The Rev. Edward B. Rooney. rep
resenting the Jesuit Educa tional
Association, testified that the day
of large individual gifts was past
and that churches and philan-
thropic institutions must depend
on small donations over a long
period.
DR.. Alva King. speaking for Pres
byterian interests. pointed out that
recent years had seen a shift in
income in favor of wage earners
and salaried persons.
DR.. Gould Mickey, representing
100 Catholic and Protestant col
leges, asserted that under present
law the Government "levies and
collects 20 per cent tax on a WELL
established tax-exempt portion Of
ones wages
That is not honest" he said.

ISTANBUL, Dec. 4.-German AM

to take over Joachim Won Ribben-
trops post as Nazi Foreign Minister

westward from Hawaii. At present
all islands in this area west of
Midway are held by the Japanese.
But in the last analysis-Japan'
land-based airpower having prov
ed itself unequal to American ae-
rial fighters-the enemy defense
Of those islands depends OIL the
enemy fleet.
Since the fleet appears reluct-
ant to do battle the islands are
wide open to conquest. Following
their precedents at Kiska and
some points in the Solomons, the
japanese may even relinquish
some of the bases without a strug-
gle ashore if they can get their
men off. The capture of key points
will outflank and neutralize the
others so that an island-by-island
advance will not be necessary.
The projected advance in the
Central Pacific may be expected
to tie up with General Douglas
Macarthur northward advance
from the New Guinea Solomons
position. Macarthur immediate
objective is believed to be Ra-
baul; his long range goal very
probably is the Philippines.
Once American forces possess
the Philippines, they must be sup
piled there and apparently line
across the Central Pacific from
Hawaii would make the job easier
than a roundabout route to the
south. The attack on Marcus
seems to have been a feeler for
Japanese reaction "a challenge
which was not accepted.
The assault on Wake, in conse.
quence, has the appearance of an
initial stroke in campaign of
conquest among the inundated is
lands-a renewal of the challenge,
which the high command wishes
the Japanese would meet but feels
they will not.
Along with these indicated de-
velopments in the Central and
Southwest Pacific areas, action in
the North Pacific appears prob
able. For one thing, it would force
the japanese to keep their
strength fully dispersed, since they
are also under alarms in the Bur-
ma-China area. For another the
Aleutian islands, stretching out
from Alaska to within about SOC
miles of the northern Kuriles. fur.
nish the only chain of airbases
now in existence for striking with
in Japan's inner defense area.
1t would not be surprising, when
forces become available if they
are not ready now, to see the
Aleutians chain anchored to a po-
sition in the Kuriles by massive
thrust of the Pacific fleet and the
Aleutians airforce combined. This
would directly endanger Japan
and probably produce the most
violent reaction of her land, sea
and air force since the battle for
Guadalcanal.
It might. in fact, result in the
climatic battle of the Pacific wal
"a terrific, amphibious smuggling
match for possession of the ia
panese homeland.
