In the associations letter to botf.
delegate groups, President Ellsworth
Huntington, q member Of the Yale
faculty, said: I'VE represent large
number Of people who feel very
strongly that the interests Of the
United States can best be served
If the Republican and Democratic
Parties adopt identical planks as
to postwar international policy.
I'VE believe that both party
platforms should pledge the follow
ing:
II. Complete victory for the
United Nations.
"2. The calling at once Of, a
United Nations Council which will
deal with present problems and lay
the foundations Of world organ
ization that will provide security
from aggression, by force If neces-
sary, and that will give opportu-
nifty for an expanding world econ
omy.
-. Assurance to the world that
the United States Is not going to
retreat into isolationism as it did
at the close Of the last war, but
that this time we intend to take our
part, not only in the establishment,
but In the maintenance, Of strong
World Organization"

Martin Predicts House
Will Pass SimpIified
Tax Bill Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.

by lne ASSOClaten Press.
Republican Leader Martin today
predicted Overwhelming" passage
by the House tomorrow of legislation
to simplify income tax payments.
while there are some things
about it some members don't like,
still it is progress" Representative
Martin said, land will make taxpay-
ing simpler for millions of persons" ;"
AS debate entered its second day,
the only opposition was voiced by
Representative Curtis, Republican,
of Nebraska, who contended the
legislation would discourage con-
tributions to religious and charitable
institutions.
"The man who gives substantially
to charity will get as much taken
out of his pay as the man who gives
nothing" he said, as result of
proposed fiat deduction of 10 per
cent of income Cup to a total de-
duction of $500 to be granted in
lieu of present actual deductions.
Chairman Doughton and other
Ways and Means Committee men,
bers disputed this, Mr.. Doughton
saying he had no fear that insti-
tutions depending on contributions
would be injured
Without the fiat deduction, Mr..
Doughton said, there can be no
practical simplification, and he
emphasized that any one desiring
to claim contributions exceeding 10
per cent of income could file a
regular return and get an adjust
ment.
Mr.. Curtis protested that repre-
sentatives of educational and char
liable institutions had asked to be
heard before the committee, but
were denied an opportunity. Chair
man Doughton said he did not know
of such a request.

smacking two pin full on the

fleeing the No. 8 as il goes
