Police RigidIy Enforcing
Bombay 10 Pm. Curfew

BY the Associated Press.
BOMBAY, Sept. 29.-Police rigid
ly enforced 10 pm. curfew to-
night as the death toll in Hindu
Moslem clashes reached 26, with
113 injured.
Three new fatalities were reported
today, two of them victims of knife
wounds. A pitched battle Wednes-
day night launched the disorders.
Police enforcing an edict against
carrying of weapons have arrested
more than $50 persons.
A 10 pm. to 6 pm. curfew,
clamped on the 5-mile-square trou-
BILE zone, apparently reduced the
number of incidents, and hospitals
reported only eight new casualties
overnight.
Moslem and Hindu leaders ap-
pealed for an end to the fighting, for
which they blamed "hoodlums," and
a citizens conciliation committee
called meeting for Monday in the
hope of restoring peace.

Vandenberg Waiting
For House 10 Start
.0Id-Age Tax Freeze

Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan said yesterday it would
be "unthinkable" for Congress to
let the payroll tax for old-age in
surance go up $50 per cent on jan
uary l without additional benefits,
although he has not decided what
alternative action should be taken.
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee, where
tax bills originate, revealed his COM
mittee will tackle this question of
what to do about the impending in
crease in the social security pay
roll levy when it completes writing
tax bill for 1916.
Unless Congress acts before De-
cember 81, the payroll levy for old
age insurance will 60 up auto
matically from l per cent on en-
ployer and employe to 2,2 per cent
on each. In other words, the over
all rate would 60 from to S per
cent.
Gradual Increase Planned.
When the Social Security Act was
enacted 10 years ago it provided for
a gradual increase in the payroll
tax for old-age benefits. The rate
never has gone above the original
l per cent each on employer and
employe, however, because Congress,
believing the reserves to be ade-
quate, has stepped in annually for
several years to postpone the in
creases.
Discussing the recurring problem
yesterday, Senator Vandenberg
voiced the hope that Congress and
the Social Security Board would be
able to agree on some fiat rate that
could stand for 10 years. He said:
Il understand the House Ways
and Means Committee has been
making an independent investiga-
ton of the matter as a basis for
House action. This is where action
ought to originate. In previous
years T have initiated the freeze
in the Senate, only because the
House did not act. Therefore,
shall wait to see what happens at
the other end of the Capitol.
Undecided on Action.
Il have not yet decided for myself
what this action ought to be, except
that it would be unthinkable that
the statutory increase of $50 per
cent next January should be al
lowed to become effective without
additional benefits.
Under the Morgenthau formula
upon which I have based every pre-
vious freeze, the old-age reserves
are sufficient without any increase
in payroll taxes next January. But
agree we cannot follow that for
mula indefinitely without a search
ing review of the whole problem.
The truth of the matter is that the
entire old-age pension section of
the Social Security Act should be
reviewed by Congress, in respect not
only of taxes, but also of benefits
and coverage"
Representative Carlson of Kansas,
a Republican member of the Ways
and Means Committee, said he
hoped the old-age payroll tax would
be frozen and added, Then, if hear
ings next year on revision of the
Social Security Act show we need
more to finance it, we can do it at
that time"
Such hearings are due to be held
during the winter by the House
committee on the Dingell bill FOR
broad expansion of social security
to cover large groups now excluded,
and to inaugurate health insurance
along with other new forms of So
cial welfare protection,

Vinson Is Expected
To Urge Moderate
Tax Cut Tomorrow
b. the Associated Press.

6S the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Treasury Vinsor
will take the administration plar
for the first peacetime tax-cuttinf
bill to Capitol Hill tomorrow.
Some tax leaders expect him te
propose to the House Ways ano
Means Committee only moderate
trimming on this basis:
l. Repeal in 1916 of the per cent
normal" tax on individuals, or an
adjustment of exemptions under
this tax SO as to relieve the burden
on families with small income. Out
right repeal of the tax, successor to
the old victory" levy, would remove
around 100000 persons from the
tax rolls completely. 1t would re-
duce overall tax liabilities by about
$4,000, 100000.
2. Elimination of the 95 per cent
excess profits tax on corporations
imposed in wartime. This would
tighten corporation burdens by
about $4,000 900 900.
3. A definite cutoff date for high
wartime excises, which doubled
Federal retail levies on such things
as fur coats, jewelry and cosmetics.
Secretary Vinson regards sales and
high excises as not only unfair to
low income groups, but also as a
restriction of markets for business.
VinsOn Silent on Plans.
Mr.. Vinson did not, discuss in ad-
vance the proposals he will make
for "quickie" postwar tax cutting
Speculation on Capitol Hill, al
though drawn from Treasury and
the Secretary's previous tax policy
statements, may not conform with
tomorroW's recommendations.
Mr.. Vinson is definitely committed
for repeal of the excess profits tax.
AS Director of War Mobilization he
made report last July /, declaring
"the excess profits tax should be
repealed after VI day."
The Treasury Department also has
q record of opposition to the prin-
ciple involved in the per cent nor
NAL" tax, which levies on the in
come of a taxpayer without regard
to the number of his dependents.
Mr.. Vinson is expected to call for
moderation in tax cutting at this
time. In this position, he will get
support from Ways and Means
Chairman Doughton, who has cau-
toned the Nation not to expect
drastic tax reduction"
Wilson's Recent Views.
A search of Mr.. WILSON'S recent
statements disclosed his enunciation
of these principles as a guide for
construction of a national tax pro-
gram:
/. Taxes should be levied in such
a way that they have the least
harmful effect on the expansion of
business investment and the crea-
ton of jobs, because productive en-
ployment is the source of our stand
ard of living, of all income, and of
the revenue which the Government
collected from taxes"
2. Taxes should be levied in such
way that they have the least
harmful effect on the maintenance
of mass markets and mass purchas-
ing power because that is the basis
of business, labor and agricultural
prosperity.
3. Taxes must be fair among
people.
4. Tax policy should be integrated
with fiscal policy designed to pre-
vent imitation and defiation.
Mr.. Vinson said in his July /
statement that acceptance of such
principles means that the personal
income tax must be the chief source
of tax revenue and the base must

NO NEED FOR WORRY

Key West civic leader told The
Citizen yesterday:
"A good many Key Westers are per-
turbed over the outcome of the coming
City election because of the state of the
city's registration books"
We informed him there was no need
of the uneasiness, as a law had been pass
ed requiring reregistration in Key West, be-
ginning 60 days before election day.
I'm glad to hear that" he stated.
land would appreciate your looking it up
in back numbers of The Citizen a& II
We went over The Citizen files and
learned that HB7O3, City of Key West Re-
registration Act, passed the legislature on
May 16 and became law without the gov
errors signature
Representative Papy introduced two
reregistration. bills, both of which became
law, one pertaining to the county and
the other to the city. The reregistration
books in the county will be opened so days
before the first primary to be held next
May.
The civic leader was relieved to learn
that the city will have "clean books for
the election next November The same
condition prevails in the city's registration
books as it does in the county's books:
hundreds of names of former Key Westers
WHO are now residing elsewhere are stilIon
tho books, and, I'M onae2casesJ the names
of persons who have died are still on the
books.
John England, county supervisor, has,
said that in every instance where it was
possible for him to ascertain, the names of
persons who have died have been removed
from the books, but, in the case of Key
Westers who have left town to reside else
where, it is impossible for him or any
body else, except the persons themselves,
to know definitely every qualified voter
who leaves town to take up his residence
elsewhere
Reregistration will bring the city's and
county's books up to date, and the qualified
list, in each case, will be as correct as it is
possible to make it.
So don't let us be perturbed when
election day rolls around in November 4
let's, instead, try to- elect smen or women
we feel will best conserve the interests of
the city under our new form of govern
ment.

TO ENGLAND FOR REPAIRS

The Australia. a lO,O00-ton heavy
cruiser. u en- route TO England for repairs
after being hit five times by Japanese sui
eide planes in the Philippines.
Lack of men and overtaxed repair ia
rilities In Australia and the United States
make Il necessary for the veteran warship
to travel all the way To England. This
means that II VIII be out of service for addi-
tional months. tsF
Captain John NJ. Armstrong, who
fought the ship at Leyte and Luzon as part
II eur Seventh Fleet says that the Japan
ese "wamikaze" plane is a great nuisance
and weapon with great psychological eff
feet" but that the damage is less than half
that resulting from regular bombing or tor
pedo attacks.
This Is the first comment along this
line that we hage seen and it is somewhat
reassuring. bat the "kamikaze" planes un-
doubtedly score more hits than would be
scored By the enemy through regular at
taeks. With this in mind. we should not un-
derestimate the damage that results, al
though Captain Armstrong says that if his
ship had been hit by five torpedoes or de-
eeHt-sized bombs. we would be at the bot
tom Of the ocean"

s,42O MILES IN 2,15s MINUTES

Some idea of the range of the BIO
Superfortress is available in connection with
figures released after the epoch-making
flight of Maj. Gen. Curtis E. LIE May from
Guam to Washington, covering 1920 miles
in 81 hours, 81 minutes, including stop at
Honolulu that took two hours and 80 min
utes.
The General left Guam at 8:O6 a. M
Friday, making the 3,780-mie flight to
Honolulu by 11:49 p. m. that night. sFor
Is hours and AZ minutes, the big plane
made better than four miles per minute
After@the Iayover* at, Honolulu, the
plane took off at 2:38 A. M. Saturday for
Washington, where it landed at Il :43 p. m.
that night. This was a record nonstop
flight, covering the 4,640 miles in 20 hours,
s. minutes. The average speed was slight
ly above 80 miles per minute.
These figures are based upon a dis
patch of the United Press, which we pre-
sumo uses the same time throughout If
this assumption is correct, the big plane
travelled from Guam to Washington at an
average speed of three and two-thirds miles
per minute, including the layover at Homo
lulu This is little better than 22O miles
per hour.

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE
July 2ist

Today's native may. devote the
life to horticulture Or forestry or
some kindred pursuit connected
with natural scenery. There is a
love for nature in its quieter
moods, devotional, gentle mind
with refined instincts. There may
be some public service, attained
by pure force of ability and not
by favofitism.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1945-07-21

Today''s native is tractable and
may be even docile; perhaps a
little too much SO. There is an
indication, of being held in re-
straint or that some force of cir-
cumstance may interfere with
freedom of action. Both of these
dangers should be avoided if
