OAKLAND, Calf, Sept. 7
Up Two transport planes car
rying rs thin and weary, but
happy sailors and marines, the
first prisoners of war from ia
pan to be flown directly back to
the United States by the Navy
Air Transport Service, landed
at Oakland Airport early today.
Two other MATS transports,
carrying still more liberated
prisoners of war, are due later
today.
The big C-54 transports had
picked the former prisoners up
at Guam and brought them di-
rect to the United States via
I'onolulu, after other MATS
planes had carried them from
Kisaru on the east shore OF
Tokyo Bay to the Marianas.
Waiting anxiously as the
planes completed the 5000 mile
flights were relatives and
friends of the returning men,
with whom they held happy and
fearful reunions.

Senator Says
Cuts May Be
Effe(ted Jan. |
Both Corporations
ond individuals
Would Benefit

WASHINGTON, Sept. =
(P) - A OO0,000,000 cut in
federal taxes effective next jan
uary l was forecast today by
Chairman George (D-Ga) Of the
Senate Finance Committee.
The reducts would include:
Corporations, S2,000,000,00O.
Individuals, $2,500,000,000 to
$3,000,0O0,00O.
Elimination of one or two ex-
else taxes, such as the aut0m0-
bile use tax, for an unspecified
saving to taxpayers.
George, after studying Presi-
dent Truman's recommendation
to Congress yesterday for linn
tied" tax cuts in 1946, predicted
that "a quick tax reduction bill"
would be passed before Christ
mas.
DEEP CUTS
He told reporters he hoped to
see the excess profits tax and
the capital stock levy on Cor
porations eliminated entirely,
with corresponding il not
slightly greater" reductions for
individuals.
George indicated the cut In in
dividual taxes might be a hori-
zontal one, clipping each tax
payers obligation by a percent
age as yet undetermined. He
added that phase would have to
be worked out in committee.
Representative Knutson (R-
Minn.3 has proposed a flat 20
per cent slash.
WOULD FIX DATE
Many luxuries and semi-lux-
uries carry special heavy war
time excise taxes due to expire
automatically six months after
the end of the war. George said
it was not his personal intention
to call for earlier repeal of the
super-levies, but he said the
"quickie" bill ought to fix a date
for the termination of the war,
for tax purposes only.
But only for that purpose"
he emphasized.
George added that he was in
thorough agreement with Mr..
Truman's recommendation for a
long-range modernization of the
revenue laws after enactment of
the transitional tax cutting bill.

Thomas described the recent
series of small fires, including
two believed to have been of
incendiary origin, as regret
able.
"All were extinguished with
minimum loss, but they gave rise
to the impression that Mount
Clemens is in a bad way as far

Thomas also revealed that
Smith and Oehmke had requi-

tinguishers obtained for Civilian
Defense air raid work during the

to all city public and parochial

shown they were needed. Some
