Col. Kenneth R. Dyke, chief OF
civil information and education, or
dered the press to print more for
eign news, explain detectives of &C.
cupation forces, and encourage
free d scussion of all issues includ-
ing the sacrosanct position of the
Emperor.
Dyke criticized the newspapers
for not telling the people clearly
enough that they could at last en-
Joy freedom of speech The
press printed General Macarthur S
order granting the right. But its
meaning was largely lost on pop
ulace whose very thoughts have
been subject to pol &c surveillance.
The newspaper Mainichi reported
that an estimated 2,O00,0 900 bushels
of grain surrendered by the 1mpe-
rial Army and Navy will be turn
ed over by Occupation authorities
to the government. 1t will be dis
tributed along with former Nippon
csc military clothing and other
supplies to feed the hungry nation.
Welfare Minister Hitoshi Ashida
secuted estimates that several mil
Ion japanese might die of starva-
ton this winter.
Nevertheless, he said, the situa-
tion was SO serious he was plan
ming to negotiate with the United
Nations Relief and Relra Utilization
Administration for sufficient food
to carry Nippon through Novem-
Der and December. The newly har-
vested rice crop should ease the
situation after the first of the year.
. Seventy thousand tons of badly
needed salt are enroute fr m
Korea, bartered for japanese coal
which Korean railroads need.
The Welfare Ministry began pro-
duction of prefabricated houses
to quarter destitutes jammed into
5000 leaking tin s,1acks in Tokyo
and Yokohama. Ashida predicted
10000 would be erected by Christ
mas. Many families are being
moved into abandoned military
barracks.
The Domei news agency report
ed II japanese ships, totalling So.
200 tons, have been lost with 230
men in minesweep;ng operations
since the end of the war.

Senator Morse (R.-Ore.) said
that now is the time to keep higl
tax rates on an ability-to-pay basis.
He added that the people should
tighten their belts and help, through
high taxes, to pay for benefits they
are insisting upon from the Fed
eral government"
Both O'Mahoney and Morse, how
ever, endorsed repeal OF the ex
cess profits tax on corpor atoms
an item which accounts for $2.555.
900, 900 Of the estimated reduction
under the Senate bill.
Chairman George O.-Gao OF
the Finance committee described
the wartime excess profits levy as
"the greatest single obstacle te
our recovery"
After adoption of the committee
amendments, but before acceptance
of the Taft and Vandenberg propos'
ais, the bill called for the follow
ing reductions:
81, ga, 900, 900 for individuals, by
three changes: (a) putting the
per cent tax on the same exemp
ton basis as the graduated sur
tax levy, (b) trimming 8 percent,
age points off each bracket Of the
surtax, and (c) providing an over
all 5 per cent reduction in the tax
as figured under the first two
steps.
$2,84e, 900, 900 for corporations,
through repeal of the excess pro-
fits tax the capital stock tax ans
the declared value excess profits
tax, and by making reductions ir
the graduated surtax on corpora
tiens with incomes of less thar
s 900 a year.
$40, 100000 for owners Of auto
mobiles and boats, through repea
of the $5-a-year use tax.
One effect of the recommended
changes in the individual income
tax is to remove an estimated H.
0o0. 900 persons from the rolls. O1
the So, 600, 900 remaining, $4,000, 00(
In the lowest surtax bracket woulc
get precisely the same relief as
under the House bill, with a com
bined normal and surtax rate Of Is
per cent of taxable income above
exemptions, rather than % pei
cent as under present law.
One of the Major points of diff
ference between the House anc
Senate bills, which must be SOLVED
in conference, is the Treatment o:
wartime excise taxes. The House
voted to reduce the rates on such
things as furs, liquor, toilet
articles, movie tickets, light bulbs
and luggage to the 1912 level OF
next July 1, for an estimated los:
of $685., 600, 600 in the last half Of
1916.
The Senate con1nitte, however
recommended that the rates be al
lowed to stand until six month:
after formal proclamation Of the
end OF the war.
The Senate else called for specia.

war years, and an extension o,
time for officers to pay taxes
which piled up during the war.

 CROWDED QUARTERS
 Most of the dugouts have GI stoves going, which help to take the chill of the keen mountain air. The largest held six hunks, but space is so limited that only three men can move around at the same time with ease. The oth- CTS have to curl up in their bunkf Candles are the only means of lighting. Since these are scarce these Spanish-speaking CTS can neither read nor write nor play cards to while away tthe tedious hours when not on active duty. They were delighted witht he di- version our visit brought and es- pecialy pleased when I spoke few halting sentences in theri language.

TROOPS FIGHT IN SNOW-COVERED ALPS

sions on the eastern and western fronts.
 Men born in the tropics and trained for jungle warfare are fighting in the Alps. Besides be- ing unaccustomed to mountain warfare, they have had to face the added hardship of climate plus an unusually severe winter.
 GRIM LIFE
 Life has bene pretty grim for the officers and men, with little respite and few opportunities to enjoy the luxury and amenities of civilized life in the nearby luxury resorts. Their outposts are iso- .ated. Supplies have to be carried up by mule train and this means food and even water as well as am- munition. They live in dug" outs scooped out of the mountain side, within range and sometimes within sight of the enemy's guns
 Their major activities consist largely in patrolling the passes and recon" expeditions which of" ten lead the men right into the German lines. Considering the terrain they have to cover, this is no picnic, which ever way you look at it.
 All was quite on this front wher with the permission of the O.. O.. and escorted by Capt. Price H. Pow ell, of Dayton, O., I was allowed to visit one of the outposts in the front line. Incidentally, I was the first woman correspondent to do so.
 This was situated about a half mile away from headquarters which happened to be one of those hotels patronized by ski-cnthusi- asts from that region of the south of France extending from Mar seilles to the Italian border A short run in jeep up a noun tain pass brought us to our deS.in- ation.
 Dotted along the mountain side were dugouts camouflaged with branches Topped off nearby pine trees. There were still several inches of snow on the ground and the trails leading to them had
