today that all OF the Army's new

to tremendous 24O nm. Howitzer
guns-soon will be rolling entire

Der tires.
This optimistic view OF the syn

came from S. P. Thacher. chief OF
the rubber branch, Army Service
Forces, who said that the War De-
partment is satisfied the substitute
rubber tires are doing "a perfectly
good job.
Eve hope to get on a 100 per
cent synthetic basis soon" Thach-
er declared adding that great pro-
gress has been made since the War
Department started its synthetic
rubber program in July, 1912"
ALREADY, all of the Army's small
est tires-used on passenger cars,
jeeps, small trucks, motorcycles,
etc.-are being produced of 100
per cent synthetic rubber,I he said.
Medium size tires used on com.
bat and transport vehicles up to
two and a half tons, constituting
so per cent of the total amount of

Indications were that corpora.
tions will not fare as we'll at the
hands OF the committee as did in
diyidual income taxpayers yester-
day, although there is little senti-
ment to increase the corporate
burden by more than a moderate
amount.
The committees decision against
any further increase in personal in.
come tax rates was taken by a l6-
to-S vote. 1t translated into spe-
cific action a revolt that was
spawned Oct. 4, when the admin,
istration proposed that an add
tional 10 billion, 500 million dollzrs
be raised.
To the Administrations recon-
mendation that six billion, 500
million dollars OF the huge sum be
obtained through increased income
taxes. the committees response
yesterday was rejection in Toto.
1t amounted to a triumph for Re-
publican members who had banded
together to block any increases.
Now the fate Of the administra-
tons recommendation that cor
