Next Year Likely to Bring
Lower Income Tax Payments

Washington, Aug. IS UP -
Bright prospects for tax relief next
year were held before individual
and business taxpayers today.
II was doubted, however, that
there will be substantial reductions
in personal tax rates while the ma
tional debt remains near its pres
ent level and heavy government
expenditures continue.
Both Chairman Robert L. Dough
ton, D., N. c., and ranking minority
member Harold Knutson, R., Mimi.
of the tax-writing House Ways and
Means Committee expect Congress
to approve q tax bill this fall. Both
expect the bill to give relief both
to business and individuals.
Other committee members ap-
pear eager to consider tax legisla-
ton although they expect to devote
their attention frst to PRESIDENT
Truman's request for increased un-
employment benefits.
Flat Reduction
Knutson told reporters yester-
day II was his guess" that a flat
reduction of about 20 per cent
would be made in present individu-
al tax rates, effective in 1916. Chair
man Walter F. George. D., Ga, of
the Senate Finance Committee also
has advocated a cut but he has
suggested 10 per cent.

7 'sed Auto
t 1ces Sag

Washington. Aug. 2s-AP- This
high price OF used cars finally has
broken-under pressure OF -he
news that new cars will roll from
Detroit's assembly lines.
The drop is not great. II averages
around S25 a car. But II Is the first
sag away from ceiling prices in
three years. And dealers say the
decline will continue.
This disclosure came on the
heels of OPA's announcement that
1945 cars will come into the show
rooms at Just about the same
prices as in 1912.
OPA Administrator Chester
Bowles said any general increase
over 1912 ceilings was most I'M
likely" However. each manufacture
er is reckoning his own ceiling I'M
der a formula laid down by OPA,
so some makes may go higher.
The slow but definite decline in
used car prices will show up in the
September l report OF the National
Automobile Dealers Association,
now near issuance.
1t will show that on July L
about the time that auto makers
got their go-ahead-all but four OF
the 80 different 1912 sedans we're
selling in the East for just as much
as OPA's ceiling would allow.
Now. the report discloses. only
six types OF sedan are selling at
the ceiling. The others have
dropped in price from S11 to $50.

Strict Purge
in Germany

Frankfurt-on-the-Main. Aug. rs
AP-A ruthless application OF the
Potsdam decisions to the Ameri-
can zone in occupied Germany was
indicated today in top-level orders
directing U. S. officials to carry
out a strict purge Of every mem
Der or former member Of the Nazi
party from any position Of author
ity and from any job on any level
of German civil service.
The orders came from Gen. Els
enhower and his chief deputy on the
Allied Control Council for Germany,
1t. Gen. Lucius d. Clay.
As a three-day conference OF
Army commanders and group lead
ers was convened, Clay announced
ban on expeditions use OF former
Nazis on any temporary basis.
ut might be more effective on
occasion II we were permitted to
continue certain Nazis In Office (be-
cause OF their experience) but that
is impossible because OF the princi-
Piles laid down at Potsdam," Clay
said.
To this, Col. Hayden Smith. q
former law partner of Secretary Of
War Henry L. Stimson and now de-
putty chief OF staff for the G-5 (mili.
tary government division. added:
I'VE must realize that no Ger
man can be accepted except with
the greatest caution. Germans have
caused international trouble before
the Nazis. and they may do so
again. even after Nazism has been
wiped out We must guard against
a renewal Of militant Germanism
or Nazism in another garb."

Tung-a conference in which U. s.
Ambassador Patrick ]. Hurley Is
expected to play an important part.
Failure OF Chang and Mao to
reach satisfactory agreement
may mean many years of chaos In

Eastern experts. Some fear failure
may even mean an immediate civil
war.
The circumstances are more IA.
yorable Tor such a conference than
In any OF the previous attempts to
patch things up between the Chung
king government and the Commun-
lists because:
/. China has Just come to the end
Of a war against japanese aggres-
sion which started back in 1881.
2. Weary OF war, both the Com
munists and the supporters of
Chang are anxious to begin the
vast job OF reconstruction.
3. The other world powers have
given China a place in their high
councils-on a par with them In
the new world organization. To
keep that place and make 1t more
than a courtesy seat, China must
avoid civil war.
4. The Chungking government
has just concluded a series Of i'm
portant agreements and a treaty Of
friendship with the Soviet Union
a move which strengthens Chi.
ang's hands against the Chinese
Communists. This may make the
Communists more susceptible to
compromise and make Chang, be.
cause Of his new security, more
willing to offer substantial conces.

The diplomatic influence the
United States will use to help
bring about a settlement OF inter-
nal Chinese problems will be OF the
persuasive type. American Off.

to impress upon both Chinese fac
tons the urgent need for peace In

Big Ammunition
Depot Problem

ammunition depot supplying all the
Allied forces in China, Burma and
India stands somewhere in India"
as a veritable monument to wars
waste.
The 129,464 tons OF explosives II
contains were a priceless asset OF
the fighting forces until Japan's
surrender. Overnight they became
worth only small fraction OF
their original cost. which had been
estimated Informally by military
authorities at between $4,000, 900
and sS2,000,000.
Like all stores Of American am
munition on foreign soil, this dump
has now become a vexing problem
to Army authorities who must de-
eide upon its disposition.

Othe. House committee members
indicated, however, that they were
flatly opposed to such reductions
and favored giving proportionately
greater benefits to lower bracket
taxpayers through increasing ex-
emptions. One proposal being dis
cussed informally calls for elimin-
alton of the present three per cent
normal tax which allows q $500 ex-
emption TO. each taxpayer without
regard to the number Of his depend
ents.
Study Proposal =
One informed source said con-
gressional and Treasury tax experts
are studying a proposal to revise
the present system OF surtax en-
emptions so exemptions would give
equal benefit TO all tax brackets,
Under the present systefn inerea&
ing the exemption BY 800 would
cut the tax bill Of taxpayer in
the 80 per cent surtax bracket by
$50. The corresponding reduction
for a taxpayer in the rs per cent
bracket would be $25.
Under the proposal being studied
each taxpayer would compute his
gross tax bill with no exemptions.
From that total he would deduct
a flat amount. for example 500, for
each dependent. A change in ex-
emptions would result in a change
in the credit for dependents and
would make decomposition Of the
simplified Withholding tax table I'M
necessary.
