Revised Tax Cut Bill
Adopted Unanimously
By Senate Committee
Effort to Relieve Small
Corporations Defeated;
Debate Storts Tomorrow
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate Finance Commit
tee today approved unanimously
the revised $5,625, 100000 tax re-
duction bill for 1946, and sent it
to the floor for debate tomorrow.
A laSt-minute effort to give small
corporations some retroactive relief
from the excess profits tax on their
1945 earnings failed by tie vote.
The Senate bill goes along with
the House in taking $4,000, 900 low
income individuals of the tax rolls
entirely, but differs substantially
from the House version in the tax
reductions granted corporations and
the remaining individual taxpayers
Excess-Profits Tax Repealed.
Most important change in the
Senate bill is the outright repeal OF
the 85.5 per cent excess profits tax
on January l, in place of House
action merely reducing it to go
per cent in 1916 and repeating it in
l947.
The reductions in individual in
come tax will be felt Immediately
in January, since they are on the
pay-as-you-go withholding system.
The corporation tax relief, how
ever, would not be reflected in lower
payments until 1946 returns are filed
early in 1947.

Control by Officers

BY ROBERT BRUSKIN.

Admiral Ernest J. King today
decried the proposed merger of
the Army and Navy under a
"Supersecretary" of national de-
fense, asserting that the Navy
should continue to be separate
service, unhampered by military
control exercised by officers un-
familiar with naval operations.
The chief of naval operations told
the Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee he knew "of no positive as
surance, short of the experiences of
another war, that it would be su-
perior to what we now have-it may
we'll contain new inefhciencies more
damaging than those We now have
to contend with"
| The United States must be posi-
tive that its action in merging the
Army and Navy is correct before
proceeding with such legislation
Admiral King emphasized.
Urges Exhaustive Study.
He declared he is in favor of an
exhaustive study of the entire ma
tional defense situation-political

ton of any radical change in the

in various service who are skilled
in their own problems, he asserted
'The orthodox idea of fixed forti-
flcations led to the collapse of the
French Army" Admiral King said.
THE orthodoxy of the German
Wehrmacht made the English
Channel an insuperable obstacle.
"The orthodoxy of japanese re-
ligious-military training was a dis
tinct asset to us when it led to
self-destruction of irreplacable off,

errors because a sense of shame
would not permit acknowledgment
of earlier errors" he said.

zone of the biggest peacetime jobs
of any military organization is the
continuous day-to-day fight against
this paralysis of orthodoxy"
If Congress decides there should
be three co-ordinated armed serv-
ices, with the Air Forces given equal
status, the matter. is basically a
question of dividing the War De.
partment into two parts, with the
Air Forces as a separate unit. But
this is chiefly concern of the Wal
Department, he said, adding he did
not advocate this solution.
AS an alternative, Admiral King
proposed that the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff be continued, to provide the
necessary coordination, and "that
their functions be expanded"
He said he favored legislation to
legalize the establishment of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff with the reser-
vation that the organization of its
subordinate agencies be left to the
discretion of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff within the framework of their
assigned responsibilities.
