 Within two or three weeks, both armed services are expected to order cuts in contracts for ordnance, food and clothing.

 Mead said that developments of the last few days" have greatly strengthened his confidence that re- conversion can be handled without serious economic dislocation. He evidently was referring to disclosure by reconversion director John w.

 For the surtax, however, the wage earner may take a $500 exemption each for himself, his wife, and each other dependent relative.
 If the normal tax is repealed, a family consisting of man, wife, two children with a gross income of $2,000 and a present tax bill of $39 would no longer pay any tax.
 Likewise, a married couple with one child and gross income of $l,- 800 would no longer pay the tax. The same goes for a married couple with $1 900 of income. In all these cases. none is subject to surtax.
 A man with a $500 income. a wife and one child would find hts tax bill lessened by sl35 per year.
