Sharp Tax Reduction,
After War Urged by
House Committee
Six-Point Program
Drown Up by Special
Economic Planners
Ey the Associated Press

Ey the Associated Press.
A House committee call for
postwar tax reductions, particu-
larly in the lower and middle in
come groups, was added today
to the flow of proposals for the
future made urgent by military
successes.
In agreement with War Mobiliza-
ton Director James F. Byrnes that
it Is time to build the framework for
the bridge back to peace, the special
House Economic Planning Commit
tee offered six suggestions in a report
to be delivered to the House today
on how the United States may be
kept prosperous in the peace years.
Tight Credit Controls.
The others we're:
Tight credit controls to prevent q
sharp spiral of imitation when the
Nation spends an estimated $780,
600 900 900 in savings accumulated in
the war years.
A streamlined Government
ITO reduce overlapping jurisdiction,
duplication of effort and inconsist-
encies in policy"
Increased foreign trade.
Early removal of wartime controls
on agriculture and announcement
OF family -owned farms.
Maintenance of an armed force of
upward of 100000 men until the
occupation task abroad is considered
ended.
Increased Unemployment Pay.
The committee, headed by Repre-
sentative Colmer. Democrat, of Mis-
slssippi also suggested that the
States increase their unemployment
compensation scales and period of
payment, and that Federal employees
and merchant mariners be placed
under the program.
Emphasizing incentives for VEN
ture capital and business growth. >
the committee called for sharp over
all reductions in taxes and for aboli-
ton of double taxation" of corpora
ton earnings.
The Federal budget probably will
run about $4,000, 900 900 annually
Tor whole, it said, and that will
mean each family has a yearly tax
burden-including State levies-of
5000.
Production Level Urged.
Obviously, the committee opined
unless productive capacity is main
tanned at much higher level thar,
in any peacetime year in the past
the burden of necessary taxation
may prove intolerable.'
The suggestion for larger unem-
ployment compensation benefits was
included also in the major recon.
version recommendation submit.
ted Saturday to President Roosevelt
by Mr.. Byrnes. The immediate re.
action appeared unfavorable in view
OF Congress previous rejection oi
the idea.
There was, however, bipartisan
approval of Mr.. Byrnes' plan fol

600 900 900 next year if necessary tc
keep farm prices from crashing
Senators Russell, Democrat. Of
Georgia and Aiken, Republican, o1
Vermont both told reporters that
farmers must be protected.
Return to 40-Hour Week.
Mr.. Byrnes suggested that ar.
rangements be made for return
from present overtime policies tt

ROME R.-French forces
from the south have occupied
Dijon, it was announced to-
night.
BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Sept. II. - French
troops penetrated to the out
skirts Of Dijon, an important
communications center $50 miles
southeast of Paris, while other
French units of the 7th Army
met bitter opposition in the bat
tie of the Belfort Gap, Allied
headquarters said today.
American units OF 1t. Gen. Alex
ander M. Patchs 7th Army ad-
vanced to Rougemont, Is miles
southwest of the historic gateway
into Southwest Germany, but
French troops, inching their way
through the Jura Mountains along
the Swiss frontier, met desperate
German rearguard resistance.
An Allied headquarters announce
ment last night said the French
were fighting near the village of
Blamont, 16 miles south of Belfort
and SO airline miles from the Ger

Narrowing BOttIeneck.
The Nazis, making a desperate
stand to keep the Belfort Gap life
line open, found themselves in a
narrowing bottleneck with the
French to- the south and the Amer
leans to the west at Rougemont.
The French advance to the out
skirts OF Dijon, city of $4,000, vir-
tually seWed up the escape corridor
for the German 18th Army in that
sector. Seizure of Dijon not only
would seal of at least two main
highways to the Germans, but push
the enemy to within 5 miles of
where the American forces in
Northern France were last reported
Tanning out west of the Saone
the French also reached the road
junction village of Saulieu. 40 miles
west Of Dijon, and about Is miles
above Autun, which they took 4e
hours ago.
Arnay-le- Duo Falls.
Clearing out ali the hill country
to the Saone, the French troops also
captured Arnay-le-Duc, 80 miles
southwest of Dion.
AS the American advance ap-
preached Belfort 1t veered north as
well as east, moving above the line
OF the Doubs River -Rhone Cana,
toward the Ognon River, thus TAX
ing command of the entire valley.
A number of towns were cleared
IN this area in a yard-by-yaro
slugging match with the enemy.
= After wiping out the last snipers
at Dole, the Americans also staget
drive northwest toward Auxonne
thus exerting even greater pressure
on Dion.
Warships Shell Riviera.
Meanwhile, the enemy in the ia,
southeastern corner of the French
Riviera was under bombardmen,
from Allied warships.
The Macy reported that the Amer.
ican destroyer Hilary P. Jones anc
the French cruiser Duguay Trouir
had a satisfactory" time Saturday
against German shore installations
in the Mentone region, near the
Italian border.
The destroyer blasted machine

Wide Social, Military Gains
Recorded in Britain in '43

ginning OF new and modern age
The third advance has been in
the workmen's compensation and
tuberculosis pay which has been
established as real compensation
and not as it was previously, merely
a token payment on which the in
jured workman of a family could
not exist.
On town and country planning
in discussions of postwar building
and in education Britain also went
ahead-again giving the impression
that most of the steps taken were
transitional. The educational bill
for example, made a start in the
direction of national free education
but turned out as more of a COM
promise than progressive educators
wanted
But Britons look to 1914 with hope
hope that the European aspect
of the war, at least, will end this
year; hope that the social program
will assume real, concrete and uni
fed shape. They have reasons for
SOLDERING thoughts. too: The much
talked-of rocket gun suggests that
London has not seen the last OF
destruction and death. They know
only too well the costs of the in
vasion that has been promised.
But basically they believe that
1914 will be the best year of any
of the last five.

one Australian, together. This
worked well. The nearer the troops
are to the front the better they get
along together. They have learned
to, respect each others fighting
ability.
What about the future? The feel
Ing of resentment toward Great
Britain has largely passed away. Aus
tralia is quite determined today to
remain q part Of the British Com
monwealth Of nations. This has
been made very clear in speeches OF
Mr.. Curtin.
The attitude Of Australia today
is very similar to that of Canada
towards the republic. They want
to be good neighbors with the
United States, they are anxious to
cooperate in working out the flu
ture destiny of the Pacific Ocean:
they realize that in the future they
will have to plav a more important
part in world affairs and peculiarly
In Pacific affairs. They have no
thought of leaving the British En-
pire but they are prepared as a
member of the commonwealth to
work closely with the United States
in bringing about world peace and
a better world.

Forecast of Wars End
Makes Eisenhower
Hero in Russia

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Jan. 1.-Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, who says
the war is going to end in 1914,
has suddenly become a hero in
Russia.
Most Russians knew of the
American general before, but
his prediction that the war will
be over quickly-spread far and
wide by the press and radio
made profound impression on
the Soviet people.
One 8-year-old Russian boy
said to an American newspaper
man:
THE war is soon going to be
over"
What makes you think SOP"
he was asked.
why, you ought to know"
was the reply. Your big gen.

IN recent days. 1t is picture that
is stamped forever on the minds of
the men who have Witnessed it.
Looking down from the hills, there
is long, narrow valley pointing
toward Rome. 1t is vale of fertile
fields and orchards closed off on
three sides by towering wild hills
1t seems an ideal retreat for the
world-weary, far, far away from the
smoke and noise of cities, although
they actually can be reached over
fair roads in an hour or So Christ
mas roses are still blooming there
and fields are green with new grass.
But today very literally it is the
Valley of the Shadow of Death for
troops on both sides. 1t looks toward
Rome, but the view of the Eternal
City is blocked by a high hill on
which stands the massive monastery
of Montecassino. Directly below is
the city of Casino, and a little
nearer to the American lines stands
Vittore in the hills. On both sides,
blackened by cannon fire, men are
fighting tonight in the black, dreary
rain.
Thus dawns 1914 for the men in
the lines and only in the hospitals
along the road to the front is there
an effort at cheer with warm lights
behind blackout curtains. There was
no cheer in the foxholes and hardly
a suggestion of it in the mountains
where some are finding shelter from
the rain.
Thus ends the year that started
miserably in the rain and hail of the
Southern Tunisian mountains, pro-
crossed into spring when embattled
troops faced each other over valleys
and hillsides where scarlet blankets
Of peoples dazzled the eyes, and
passed on into desolately dry sum-
mer of battle after battle in the
barren mountains and dusty almond
orchards of Sicily. 1t passes now with
American soldiers in these black
hills of rain and cold battling more
heroically and in the face of greater
hardships, think. than American
soldiers ever have faced before.
