pressing them on it. He added that
he felt the request was a reason

Prime Minister Attlee would compl.

only that Mr.. Attlee didn't want
to admit as many as he had asked
him to.
He said, in response to another
question, report in Congress that
the British were willing to admit
1900 was approximately correct, but
he added their offer had exceeded
that figure.

TOKYO, Oct. 18.-Allied head
quarters estimated today it had cut
off 80 per cent of the worlds illegal
narcotic supply in ordering the de-
struction of all notwithstanding
plant crops in Japan and Korea
and banning future planting and
cultivation.
The order also froze all present
stocks in the two countries.
The League of Nations and inde-
pendent observers have long charged
that Japan was the worlds leading
source of narcotics. This was SUBJ
stantiated by inspectors from Alice
headquarters, who reported that
bookkeeping controls and handling
of the drug itself in factories was
loose and that smuggling of opium
hashish, morphine and cocaine had
been commonly observed in Japa-
nese transocean vessels before the
war
The inspectors said there was
we'll -documented evidence that the
japanese supplied narcotics to SUBJ
jugated peoples in their quest OF

By ROBERT BRUSKIN.

A single worldwide United
States espionage system as an
adjunct to a single department
of national defense was advo-
Gated today by Gen. George C.
Marshall, Chief of Staff, when
he appeared before the Senate
Military Affairs Committee.
Gen. Marshall said we can no
longer depend on coffee cup" in
telligence by military attaches.
We should know as much as pos
sible about the intent as well as the
military capabilities of every coun-
try in the world" he said.
Coffee Cup" Intelligence Cited.
The Chief of Staff said it was his
recollection that before the war
Congress discouraged any kind of
intelligence activity other than that
obtainable by attaches "over the
coffee cups at some dinner"
Gen. Marshall told the committee
he believed the war might have
ended sooner if the Army and Navy
had been merged into a single
department.
1T is possible and I think prob
able that we might have achieved
victory at an earlier date" with
merged forces and central direction
of the war effort, he said.
Il would certainly have fewer gray
hairs" Gen. Marshall said. He said
the merged forces would have expe-
dited the growth of American mill
tary power.
Navy Acts Separately.
Gen. Marshall said the Navy
neither consulted nor informed
the Army when it made its postwar
plans.
He said 1t had been exceedingly
difficult during the war to get agree
ment on conflicting ideas of Army
and Navy leaders.
That's why, he said, a mere con-
tinuation OF the wartime Joint
Chiefs of staff isn't enough.

Excess Profits
Repeater Added
To '46 Tax Bill
Senate Fincnce Unit
Also Limits Cut on
Surtox to 3 Points
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate Finance Commit
tee today followed the lead of
the House in taking 10000, 200
low-income wage earners off the
tax rolls, and voted for immedi-
ate repeal of the excess profits
tax to speed up reconyersion.
For the 10000, 600 who remain on
the books as individual taxpayers,
the Senators voted smaller reduc-
ton by cutting only three points
from each surtax bracket. The
House took four points off the surtax
rate.
The Senate bill, as it stands with
some questions remaining to be
settled this afternoon, is closer to
the Treasury program, and ap-
proaches corporation tax relief in
an entirely different manner from
the House.
Reservation Made.
The House merely reduced the
excess profits levy from 85.5 to go
per cent for 1916 and provided for
outright repeal in 1947. The House
also cut 4 percentage points from the
combined corporation normal and
surtax rates, bringing them from q
range of Is to 40 per cent down to
81 to SO per cent.
Chairman George announced that
after his committee had voted 13-
to-3 to repeal the excess profits tax
as of December 81, it went on record
by heavier vote to strike out the
House reduction in corporation nor
NAL and surtax rates He said this
was done with the reservation that
before the bill is completed the
committee will consider special tax
reduction for corporations below the
S100, 900 income level.
Net Result the Same.
Senator George said the net effect
on individual income taxes is the
same as If the committee had re-
pealed the 8 per cent normal tax
now collected on all earnings over
$500, q move recommended by the
Treasury. The committee kept the
normal tax but applied to it the
same exemptions now allowed on
slrtaxes, namely $500 for the tax
payer, $500 for his wife and $500 for
each child.
1t is these exemptions which
eliminate all taxes next year for
the l2,00o 900 who pay only the
normal tax.
10 Per Cent Guarantee Killed.
The Senate committee also killed
q House provision that guaranteed
all individual taxpayers a reduction
Of at least 10 per cent. This has
the effect Of giving individuals In
the high brackets a smaller tax cut
than the House allowed. The House
found that by taking four points
oil each surtax bracket the actual
reduction began to fall below 10
per cent on incomes above $4,000,
while it exceeded 10 per cent on in
comes below $40, 900. This prompted
the House to write in provisions
guaranteeing a minimum cut of 10
per cent.
As the bill passed the House it
made an overall cut of $500, ,000, 900
in tax liability. The changes made
by the Senate committee up to
noon result in reductions amount
ing to $4,640, ,000, 900.
The reductions were divided az
follows: On individuals, $2,085 ,000,-
coo; on corporations by repeal Of
the excess profits tax, sass 900 900.
