Heavy Taxes 10 Stay
After Reco1nversion,
vinson Warns Nation
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Sept. 4.-Secretary
OF the Treasury Fred M. Vinson yes
terday forecast stable taxes for a
long time to come and termed mod
ernization of the Federal tax struc-
ture "a basic factor in the program
to reach and maintain full employ
ment."
Even after rehabilitation and re-
conversion the Federal budget prob
ably will be around $25 ,000, ,000, 900 a
year, Mr.. Vinson said in an address
at a Labor Day celebration in Peoria
Stadium.
ITO meet this budget we must
have sizable taxes" Mr.. Vinson said,
although we may be able to make
some reductions In the tax rates"
Forecasts Improved System.
Forecasting improvements in the
tax system, such as simplification
and elimination of inequities, he
said:
Taxes should be levied in such a
way as not to deter business invest
ment and the creation of jobs, be-
cause productive employment is the
source of a high standard of living
and of the revenue the Government
requires"
Business investment, he stressed,
will be profitable "only if the great
masses of consumers take home
enough money in their pay en-
velopes to buy the products Of our
expanded industrial machine.
Taxes should be levied so as not
to burden mass markets and mass
purchasing power, which are essen
tial to prosperity for all of us. Tax
burdens must be equitably distrib-
uted among all people In accordance
with the taxpayers ability to pay.
Tax programs must be integrated
with an overall fiscal policy de-
signed to prevent imitation and de-
f1ation"
275 Billion Debt Seen.
BY July /, 1916, the public debt
probably will be about $275 ,000, ,O0O.-
900 even if taxes are not reduced,
Mr.. Vinson said. At existing inter-
est rates the annual carrying charge
will be about $500, ,000, 900.
We must be determined, the
Secretary stressed, that our ma
tional product and our national in
come shall be as high as our human,
natural and technical resources can
make it. With high product and /
income, our financial problems will
be simplif1ed. Without it, they will
be magnified."

When the War and Navy Depart

women will start moving in groups

Most of them will go to the area
from which they enlisted. A few

Retirement Of Stimson
And Marshall Believed
Likely Within Months
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Japan's formal surrender has
cleared the way for more changes
In the Truman administration, in
cluding possible reorganization of
the military high command.
Gen. George Marshall, 64, who
passed up an opportunity to retire
nearly two years ago, may step
down within months, possibly to be
succeeded as Army chief of staff by
Gen. Eisenhower.
Secretary of War Stimson, who
will be 78 September 81, also is said
to be considering retirement to make
way for younger man.
Meanwhile, President Truman
soon will send to Congress his Sc
lections for Federal Loan admin
istrator and the Supreme Court va
cancy created by the retirement of
Associate Justice Owen j. Roberts.
Emil Schram, president of the New
York Stock Exchange, has been
mentioned for the loan post which
John w. Snyder gave up to be-
come reconversion director. Anoth-
Ter possibility is Walter J. Cummings
Chicago banker.
Mr.. Truman has been urged by
some congressional friends to ap-
point Robert P. Patterson, Under
secretary of War, to the Supreme
Court vacancy. Others suggested
include United States Circuit Court
OF Appeals Judge John j. Parker of
North Carolina and Senator Austin,
Republican, of Vermont.
John J. McCloy, Assistant Secre-
tary of War, is among those mem
toned for Mr.. Stimson's post if the
latter retires.
The months ahead also may see
the retirement of Admiral King, Co.
year-old chief Of naval operations,
thus opening the way for promo
ton Of some one like Admiral MINI
itz or Admiral Halsey.
There also has been talk of the
retirement of Gen. Arnold, COM
manding general of the Army Air
Forces. Such a move might see the
elevation of either Gen. Spaatz or
1t. Gen. Eaker.
Mr.. Truman recently announced
that Secretary Of the Interior Ickes
will remain on the job as long as he
desires. Some observers believe Mr..
Ickes plans to quit late this year or
early next.

Servicewomen's DemobiIzution Centers
Paving Way for Their Return to Civilian Life

other officers trained to find and
solve the emotional problems of
women facing the readjustment to
civilian life.
Admitting that few women would
go voluntarily to a psychiatrist, the
rehabilitation officers emphasized
that the chaplains have established
themselves as the personal advisers
and general comforters" of the
armed forces.
The Marines investigated Cana
dian demobilization plans and found
Canada offers women veterans a
complete course in how to dress and
what to buy as civilians, Mai.
Weatherby reported. None of the
women's services in this country
have set up such program.
How would We know what they
wear?" Comdr. Shelley laughed.
Job Rights Explained.
A woman veteran has the same
rights to the job she left to enter
service as any draftee. The selec-
tive service representative will ex-
plain the law to her.
To date, selective service has
handled no ease of a woman refused
her. old job, Maj. Marion Lichty,
WAC liaison officer with selective
service, reported. Since many took
jobs for the first time during the
war before entering service, legal
questions concerning their status
as temporary or permanent em-
ployes may arise, she said.
The USES representative will give
a general picture of job opportuni-
ties and tell the veteran about Jobs
for which her experience eouips
her. For referral to specific jobs.
he will give her the address OF her
local USES.
When they leave service. all the
will have their ratings and
experience transferred into
civilian terms for future employers.
The rehabilitation officers mini |
nized the employment problems of
women veterans in the reconversion
oeIlou, pointing out that manv will
want a rest and many will prefer
married life to employment.
Where Responsibility Ends.
In any event. the veteran ceases
70 BE the responsibility of the armed
torces when she leaves the service, /
Maj. Lichty said /
That, she remarked, is where the
community and the Government
agencies handling the problems of
veterans come in.
If she forgets about her rights and
benefits as veteran and the book
she takes home doesn't help, the
WAC can always turn for help to the
guidance officer at any Army post
Or station.
The WAVE will have readju
nent officers on duty in every naval
district. The reacjustment officer
Will write each WAVE veteran q
followup letter.

was needed in order to get a COM

for getting further information.
There still was another ma lor
weakness in American intelligence.
An enormous amount of information
Is needed to fight a modern war.
So vast is the volume of informa-
tion that it is humanity impossible
for the high command to read it
all, to say nothing of comprehend

Yet nothing had been done to re-
duce the vast volume of informa ton
received in Washington to forms in
which it would be readily compre-

J. C. WEIGH has 70-acre farm

Lansing. Five years ago he es-
tablished a land use and water
conservation plan which called
for a 3-year strip rotation on a
25-acre field of corn or truck to
be seeded to rye or crimson Glow
er when crop was laid by. The
following spring the winter COW
er crop was to be turned and the
strip seeded to small grain and
seed mixture of red clover and
grasses. The third year the strip
was to be cut for hay.
The remaining fields were des-
ignated as best suited for pasture
and a treatment recommended
for each.

twice as much on half of my crop
