of the excess profits tax, and of the
3 per cent normal tax on individuals
to get the 100000 low-income per-
sons off the rolls.
He also asked for reduction of the
wartime excise levies on July /
While the conferees left the excise
levies unchanged, the estimated re-
venue from this source In the last
half of 1946 was more than Offset
by the more general relief granted
to corporations and individuals.
Although the per cent normal
tax was not repealed, the effect de-
sired by the Treasury on the lower
incomes was accomplished by the
change in personal exemptions.
Senate Defines Exemptions.
AS passed originally by the House,
the bill totaled S., ,350, 100000. When
the Senate rewrote it, the total
became $5,788, 100000.
In defining the 100000 persons
who would be relieved of taxation
by applying surtax exemptions to
normal tax, the Senate report on
the bill explained:
I'm all cases these would be mar
ried taxpayers Or taxpayers with
dependents. Examples of persons
in this class at the present time
are taxpayers with one dependent
Cor with spouse having no income)
and with a net income before ex-
emptions ranging from $500 to
$1,000; taxpayers with two depend
ents and with a net income rang
ing from $500 to $1,500, and tax
payers with three dependents and
net income ranging from $500 to
$4,000. The proposal would also
reduce the tax of all married per-
sons whose spouses have incomes
Of less than $500 and all taxpayers
with dependents, since for normal
tax purposes an additional exemp-
ton of $500 would be granted to a
taxpayer for his spouse and each
OF his dependents. This would, in
effect, grant tax relief of up to SIS
per spouse or dependent"

Not only that, but Rapid Robert, "
recently appointed manager and
coach Of the Great Lakes Bluejack-
cts baseball team, probably will lose
most of the stars of his 1945 team,
including half dozen major
leaguers.
These two facts, more than some
