Of heavy German attacks.
ALI German tank assaults in Slo-

Railway lines from Rakek to
Trieste and from Zagreb to Susak

lated risk that the small scale air
attack o. which the enemy is now
strategically capable may meet

The War Department declined to
say how many officers or enlist

immediate release of those who

C0FFlELD WILL
CRAPPLE MASSEY
Marvel And Sailor Blassie
Oppose Mannagoff
And Thunderbird

Al Massey and Jimmy Coffield,
we'll known mat opponents, will
meet again here Friday night when
they tangle in the semi-final ev-
ent of the evenings wrestling card
at ITALIAN Hall.
The Massey-offield bout is the
runner-up to the team affair
which will feature the Masked
Marvel and Sailor Blassie against
the popular Pete Managoff and
Chief Thunderbird.
Blassie is another tough guy, it
was learned from press clippings
of his mat wars in other cities,
and the partnership between him
and the Marvel should produce
some spectacular results.
In a team match, almost any
thing can happen, and usually does.
The Wrestlers work in pairs with
their partners resting at the ring
side. When a man becomes tired,
he must 60 to corner where a
small piece of rope hangs, and
touch the rope. His partner must
then take over.
If d particular wrestler takes a
notion to hold out on his team
mate, he can take the rope and
either hide it or carry it out in the
audience to keep from having to
work.
This type of match is sure to
furnish plenty of excitement and
entertainment, Promoter Sausey
saws.

new TAX MEASURE
BELIEVED KILLED

through the first surtax bracket.
Rep. Robertson (D-Va) told Nor.
genthau the suggested tax increas-
es actually would limit individual
incomes to less than $4,000 a
year, and Rep. Knutson (R-Minn)
declared the new taxes woul d
come as crushing blow to the
taxpayers who have not received
substantial wartime increases in
earnings.
As outlined by the Treasury Sec
rotary, the Administrations pro-
gram would increase federal an
nual revenues to almost $50,000,-
900, 000-about one-third of the ma
tional income. 1t provides:
l. Individual income tax-raise
Sc, 500, 900, 900 in addition to t h e
present collections of about $751;
900, 100000; reduce the personal
exemption of married couples and
heads of families from $1,000 to
81, 100 and reduce the dependent
credit from $3.50 to $500, the single
persons exemption remaining at
$500; repeal the per cent victory
tax; and repeal the earned income
credit. Repeal of the victory tax
would relieve about 100000 peo-
pie of any income tax.
2. Corporation income taxes-in-
crease surtax rates, the combined
normal and surtax reaching a max
inum of so per cent as compared
with the present maximum of 40
per cent on corporations with in
come in excess of $4,000. Calcu-
lated to yield another 81, 40, 600, 900.
3. Excise taxes - increase all
along the line, and add soft drinks
and chewing gum, bringing in an
sdditioal $3.50, 100000. A bottle
Of pop would be taxed one cent.
4. Estate and gift taxes-increase
estate tax rates, reduce specific
exemption from $4,000 to $40, 900,
and increase gift tax rates to
three-quarters of the new and high
ef estate tax rates.
5. A postwar credit system, to
apply primarily at the lower levels
of income, by which $2,270, 900, 900
to $3.50, 100000 of the increased
take from individuals would be re-
funded. Persons who have not had
earnings increases of over IS per
cent since Pearl Harbor would take
the credit currently; others, after
the war.
If a refund device is approved
by Congress, Morgenthau suggest
ed that the taxpayer be permitted
to purchase with his rebate fully

thority, presented to the commit

Robertson declared that in the
effort to "stay clear of anything
that smacks of sales tax" the
percentage of direct taxes has in
creased 86 per cent and indirect
taxes only 10 per cent. He asked
whether any other nation is financ-
ing its war without transaction
or sales tax, or. some form of ge-
eral consumer tax.
