Tax Research Report
Discussed By Council
New England Business Men Given Opportunity for
Frank Inquiries at 18th Quarterly Session

Boston, June 10. - (NEC) - New
England business men viii have
their first opportunity to discuss
the tax research report Of the COM
mittee for Economic Development
at the 18th quarterly meeting Of the
New England Council at Hotel
Statler, Boston, Thursday, according
to an announcement made today by
Council President Edward e. Chase.
The discussion will be led by Ralph
E. Flanders, chairman Of the Re-
search Division Of the CED and
president Of the Federal Reserve
Bank Of Boston.
Professor Harold M. Groves Of the
University Of Wisconsin, author Of
the research report, proposes many
radical changes In the present fed
eral tax law ito help business
achieve higher production and pro-
vide more jobs"
while Professor Groves recon-
mendations are directed toward the
development and preservation Of
adequate business incentives, 1t re-
mains to be seen whether or not they
will command the approval Of bust
ness men themselves" said Mr.
Chase.
In order to ascertain the views Of
representative business men In New
England, the Council has asked the
following among Its directors to lead
the discussion after Mr.. Flanders
presentations: Harold F. Schnurle,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-06-13

Augusta, Maine; r. G. Carrick,
Keene, New Hampshire; Henry P.
Chaplin, Windsor, Vermont; Thomas
r. wilkinson, Boston; Robert B.
Dresser, Providence, Rhode Island,
and Lester B. Shippee, Hartford,
Connecticut.
In his report titled Production,
Jobs and Taxes, Professor Groves
makes these proposals:
/. Eliminate double taxation Of
corporation income by combining the
corporation tax to a withholding
levy on dividends and an advance
payment on income retained by the
corporation for reinvestment.
2. Exempt new small manufac-
turing enterprises from the advance
payment on retained income.
8. Repeal the excess profits tax
soon after the end Of the war.
4. Repeal at once the declared
value capital-stock excess profits tax
combination;
5. Allow six year carry-over Of
business losses.
8. Grant more latitude In tim
ing Of deductions for depreciation
and obSolescence.
z. Keep the personal income tax
on q broad base and high standard
rate.
8. Some recession from the rates
now as high as 90 per cent on high
est incomes.
8. Eliminate tax exemption from
government securities.

bear an individual Identification tag,
but fast-moving tactical outfits
sometimes lose their copy Of the

Well meaning organizations in
possession of a TO sometimes
misidentify parts which have
gone through half-a-dozen mod
ifications. A model G often looks
like a model F of the same part,
but 1t must be the one called for

WATCHDOG
Almost three-quarters Of the
plane parts, clothing, and accessor-
les received by the department is
made serviceable and goes back into
action, a saving to the American
people which often runs as high as
100000 a day at this depot alone.
Add the money received from civil
ian agencies which buy the scrap
aluminium, brass, iron, steel, mag
nesium and rubber carefully disas-
sembled and segrated from parts
damaged beyond repair, and the
sum that goes back to the pockets
of the taxpayer mounts to pref
ty high figure.

watchdog that packs o whale OF

KRAEMER GIVES
FINAL WARNING
Quarterly Income Tax Pay
ments Due Thursday;
$4,000 Affected

The June 18th deadline for esti-
mated Income Tax quarterly pay
ments neared today for $4,000 tax
payers who must make payment Of
one third of the unpaid balance Of
thier estimated tax on or before
that date. Collector Of Internal
Revenue, Frank w. Kraemer an
nounced that while all bills had
been mailed out, failure to receive
bill does not lessen the liability Of
making payment. Many taxpayers
change their address without noti-
flying the collectors office. This is
one outstanding reason for non
receipt Of bills.
Attention was called to the civil
penalties for failure to make the
installment payment on time. The
penalty Is percent of the amount
Of the installment due for the first
month or fraction thereof Of de-
linquency, and l percent for each
additional month or fraction OF q
month, with the maximum penalty
ten percent,
Also effected by the June 10 dead
line were taxpayers who between
March 81 and June 2 have become
liable for the filing Of an estimated
tax return. This means taxpayer
single, or married and not living
with spouse, who now expects his
earnings to exceed $2,7o0 for the
year, or taxpayers married and liv-
Ing together who now expect their
Joint income to exceed $500; and
all taxpayers who now expect that
their gross income from sources
other than wages will exceed $10C
for the year, must file on or before
June IS.
Deputy collectors are available al
all revenue offices throughout the
state to give assistance to taxpayers
who now must file estimated income
tax returns, or who by reason OF
q change In status, or earnings must
file amended estimated returns.

WOLCOTT Fire
RECORDS LOST
Blaze Also Destroys Two
Fire Trucks and 1000
Feet of Hose

Wolcott, June 10. - The firehouse
Of this towns North End Volunteer
Fire Company, located at the south
end Of Cedar Lake, was burned to
the ground Monday afternoon by q
fire Of undetermined origin. Dam
age was estimated at $500 by Fire
Chief George @. Graham Of Bristol
who directed Bristol firemen called
to the scene.
Also destroyed were two fire trucks
housed In the building, 1000 feet
Of hose and all the cornpaSy's furni-
ture and records. The frame fire
house was built in 1912 by members
Of the Volunteer Company. One Of
the trucks was an Arnerican-La-
France pumper purchased In Janu-
airy. 1912. from the Litchfield de-
partment and the other a home
made affair built on a Ford truck
chassis.
An alarm was dispatched to the
Bristol department for assistance at
p. m. and one company assisted
the Wolcott Volunteers in fighting
the blaze.
The fire had gained such head
way and the flames were so intense
that firemen concentrated their ef-
forts on preventing the spread Of
the blaze to houses across the road
and the North School nearby. Case
nne tanks on the trucks exploded
to shoot flames high into the air,
telephone pole 30 feet away be-
came ignited and bushes and small
trees surrounding the building were
scared. A line Of hose was laid to
the lake 500 feet away.
Chief Joseph Lewondoski Of the
Wolcott Volunteers said that the loss
was covered by insurance.

BattIe-scarred Air War Veterans
Return For Major Invasion Roles
Reclamation and Su0ge Restores BOmbe and Fighters Service
Nv NEA Service

~ ANAasA 0SANASQ
An Air Service Command Depot,
England, June l3-Many Of the H.
900 planes which took part In the
invasion Of France owed their very
existence to q grimy, glamorless
section Of the Air Service Command
known as Reclamation and Salvage.
Not long ago, these planes were lab
elled A. o. G. (airplane- on-ground)
but they zoomed triumphantly into
the air over France because "R g.
s" made them serviceable.
It costs about $350,000 to build q
bomber, but a damaged ten-cent
part may keep 1t out of the air. 1t
takes thousands Of man-hours and
thousands Of pounds Of precious
aluminium and rubber to get Fort
reSS out Of the factory-or hand
full Of rusty old nuts to get 1t off
the ground.
Reclamation and Salvage Is the
only part Of the armed forces
which saves and fights at the
same time. Some idea of how well
r g. s Is succeeding in this ambi-
dextrous feat can be gained from
the activities of one depot in Eng
land which handles about 80 per-
cent Of all Air Force salvage work
In the European Theater Of Opera
tons.
SALVAGE PARTS
Every week, anywhere from SO to
300 tons of scrap, repairable and
Immediately serviceable plane parts
worth up to 100000, come pour
ing in by trucks and trailers

repaired and ready for installation
in another plane, while the re-
mainder Is strapped to fight in an
other form. Thousands of kinds Of
reclaimed and Salvaged airplane
parts and flying equipment, worth
more than $1,000,000,000 are await
ing shipment from this depot to
any point in the world where the
battle Of supply needs reinforce
mentS.
The all-over job of finding a
new fighting spot for these items
usually starts with the critical
list" over which officers and men
hover like corps of physicians.
This list is made up of figures
sent in by every air station in the
European Theater of Operations,
and includes items which are
critical in other theaters as well.
Newly-arrived equipment which
appears on this "fever chart" ano
is repairable, is rushed straight
from the trucks to maintenance
shops for rapid inspection, repair
and shipment by the first available
plane.
KNOW-HOW
The greater part Of these dam
aged materials begin their re-
turn trip to the fighting fronts in
the disassembly department. Most
of the men there are specialists, but
months of working at disassembly-
a one-man job normally, no matt
ter how big or intricate the equip
ment-have given them an excel
lent knowledge of almost every
part of the plane. For example, I'M
der the agile hands of a single
maintenance soldier armed with an
airgun, the 1000 parts of a Rolls
Royce milne engine can be COM
pletely disassembled within an hour.

MICHIGAN CALLS
LEGISLATURE ON
SOLDIER VOTE
BY DOUGLAS GRAHAM

BY DOUGLAS GRAHAM
United Press star Correspondent
Lansing, Mich; June 1S-(UP)-S
Although Michigan has already
gained widespread recognition as .
leader among states in providing
for voting by members OF the
armed services In the November
general election, Governor Harry
F. Kelly has summoned a special
session Of the Legislature June 10
to validate use of the federal war
ballot.
Kelly acted to cali the Legisla-
ture into session following confer
ences in washington with members
Of the war ballot commission. He
said the move Is precautionary to
make certain that every soldier and
sailor in even the remotest theatres
Of war is given an opportunity to
vote.
Confined to Ballot
The extraordinary session, the
second this year for Michigan Leg
islators, will be confined to the war
ballot question and Is not expected
to last more than one day.
BY advancing the September
primary to July IL, Michigan will
allow more than 10 days for dis
tribution and return Of ballots to
members of the armed services but
Kelly said he will urge approval OF
the federal ballot for use IN case
the state ballots fail to reach any
Wolverine soldier or sailor.
Already more than 10000 requests
for soldier ballots have been pro-
cessed by the department Of state,
while thousands have gone directly
to county clerks, Kelly pointed out.
In Detroit, the city clerk has 49,
600 ballot requests now on file.
Urges Press Cooperate
The Governor urged Michigan
newspapers to print prepared APP
phcation for the absent voters bal
lots which relatives might send
to kinsmen in service.
Kelly said he felt the short-form
federal ballot is far inferior to the
state system which will use the reg
ular absent voters machinery. The
federal ballot permits voting only
on President and Vice President
whereas the state will send out
complete forms for voting on ma
tional, state and local offices, the
Governor pointed out.
Under the state system, members
Of the armed services need no pre-"
liminary registration to be eligible
to vote. The state law requires local
election boards to recognize an oath
appearing on the ballot envelope
as sufficient evidence that the sol.
der is legally qualified to vote.
