President Harvey w Brown of the

Brown said the situation has now

conferees today broadened
terms of their 75-per cent
Ruml plan pay-as-you-gO bill
to provide greater relief for tax
payers in lowest income brackets
and for members of the armed SER
vices.
In addition to forgiving all the
1912 tax for persons with a total
tax liability for that year up to
$50, the conferees extended the flat
$50 forgiveness to any taxpayers
with 1912 liability up to SGT. Those
above that bracket will be forgiven
Is per cent of the entire 1912 liabili-
ty and will pay the remaining 25
per cent in the next two years.
GIVEN FLAT FEE
A taxpayer who owed SGT on his
1912 income will be forgiven a flat
$50 and be allowed two years in
which to pay the remaining SIT.
A taxpayer who had a 1912 liabil-
ity of 500 would be forgiven S75

supported by naval shelling
and aerial bombardment,
have driven ahead in hard
fighting and gained foothold on
a high ridge where the Japanese
are attempting a foredoomed last

In an attack preluded by a naval

Peters MARRIAGE
May Cause Crisis

LONDON, May 81 CUP)-A crisis
in the Jugoslav refugee cabinet was
reported likely today as result of
reliable information that youthful
King Peter desires to marry Prin-
cess Alexandra of Greece, without
delay.
The tempest over the king S
romance was said to share equally
with critical political situation
caused by the inability of the Jugo-
slav cabinet in London to estab-
lish a definite policy regarding
prosecution of the war and regard
ing postwar aims.
Six members of the cabinet were
said to oppose the marriage on the
grounds that Peter should post
pone the event until Jugoslavia has
been freed.
