Associated Press correspondent

from Peiping that the Chinese-ap-

taking over the administration there
in the name of Generalissimo
Chang Kai-Shek.
While no National troops had
entered Mukden, Davis said reports
were current that the Russian au-
thorities had sent them note OF
welcome and were arranging for
their formal entry into the city.
A Central News agency dispatch
said IS district governments Of
Liaoning, Westernmost province in
Manchuria, had reported to the
new provincial headquarters at
Chinhs;en, ready to take up their

would have been due again next

5. Allow extra time for veterans
to pay back taxes on income earn
ed before they entered service.
Forgive taxes which some enlisted
men otherwise would have had to
pay on service compensation.
These cuts constitute what Con-
gress considers limited tax reduc-
tons. They were designed to aid
both individuals and bus nesses in
the difficult period of transition
from war TO peace"
Elimination of the excess profits
tax and reduction of regular corp
crate income taxes were expected
to provide incentives for business
to expand.
1t is difficult to set an overall
percentage reduction in Individual
income taxes in 1916, but internal
revenue experts said the cuts range
from per cent in the mill on dol
lar income brackets to 100 per cent
in the very lowest.
The reduction in individual in.
come taxes was accomplished by
cutting three points for each sur.
tax bracket and .increa sing the ex-
emptions allowed under the three
per cent normal tax.
For instance, under existing law
the first bracket surtax was 20
per cent. In 1915, it will be II per
cent.
Under the normal tax, only one
exemption of $500 was allowed in
l945. But under the new law, all
exemptions can be claimed at $500
apiece. 1t is this provision that will
relieve 100000 low-income per
sons from paying. On top of all
tnat, five per cent can be taken
OF the normal tax after all exemn.
tions are accounted for. Thus !.

This is surely a holiday season when
we can count our blessings.
Our men are surging back victorious
from the worst of all wars. Peace is in
the making. And from our rich fields
and gardens and orchards, food in
abundance has come forth and been
harvested for our holiday feasts, and
for hapless peoples all over the world.
Yet it might have been grim holiday
indeed. For early last Summer our
country faced food situation nothing
short Of perilous. Our farmers were so
critically short of harvest help that
they needed over 1000, 900 volunteers
to save America food and fiber crops.

Praised and AssaiIed

Disarmament arguments of Is
years ago echoed in Congress today
as legislators took sides onRa pro-
posed international ban against
peacetime military training.
The suggestion came from House
Minority Leader Martin in the form
of a House resolution calling on
United States officials to negotiate
such pact with other nations.
Administration leaders imme-
diately turned thumbs down on the
proposal, declaring it "as unwork-
able as disarmament" But Repub-
licans rallied to its support, assert
ing, "It's just as practical as the
peace agreements reached at the

them. I would certainly like to see
it worked out"

But he asserted it would not work.

"As long as chaos exists and there
are international outlaws in the
world We can't any more abandon
our defenses than a city can drop

Mr.. Thompson, to whose committee
the proposal probably will be re-
ferred, added:
IT don't think any such idea
would get out of any committee

must be realistic, not idealistic."

Mr.. Martin contended that con-
