New Revenue
Act To Help
Wage Farmer
BUSINESS AIDED
S., 100000 Tax Re-
duction Measure Becomes
:. Effective To Millions

WASHINGTON, Dec 31-B -
Wage earners get a pay raise"
and big business windfall tomor-
row when new tax cuts become er-
fective. 80. ss..
Under the IS, 900, 100000 (B) tax
reduction bill passed in November,
both big and little taxpayers berie-
fit and about 10000, 900 people
with very low incomes stop paying
any taxes. fs,
The tax collector will claim a
smaller chunk Of the. incomes OF
the $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900 individ'
uals left on the tax rolls. So ex-
ira dollars will start appearing in
,paychecks received on or after
New Years day-even though the
pay is for time worked in 1945.
For example, under the reduced
tax rates, man with no depend
ents, who makes $50 week has
had $500 withheld for taxes. This
weekly deduction will drop to $3.50.
Persons in higher wage brackets
and those not subject to withhold
ing will feel the difference when
they file statements of their 1916
taxes and make their quarterly
payments which are due March 10.
The new law, first general tax
cutting measure passed by Con-
gress in is years, is designed to
reduce taxes Of individuals by ST.
GA, 00O, 600. (B). Repeal of the au-
tomobile and boat use taxes IN
June will add another $140, DOC, 600
of relief.
At the same time, lower cor
poration tax rates and repeal of
the excess profits tax are expected
to reduce business taxes by 3d.
l36, ZOO, 600 B.9
The excess profits tax, which ex-
pires. at midnight tonight, was
imposed before Pearl Harbor and
by 1913 had risen to a flat rate of
IS per cent. More than $28, 900, 000,-
600 (B) has been collected through
it. -.--.'.-
1t was imposed to prevent busi-
ness from getting rich out of the
war and applied only to corpora
ton earnings above normal as
computed on 1869 average:
The corporations tomorrow revert
to paying only the regular cor
poration tax of SO per cent. Thus,
industry can keep a much bigger
slice of, it's profits.
/ The treasury tomorrow also
starts paying out $1,112, 900, 900 OBJ
in excess profits refunds by re-
deeming non-interest, non-nego-
table bonds. This represents only
a part of the total to be refunded.
Tax refunds will be available to
all industries that suffer losses on
operations in 1946 and to those
which paid excess profits taxes if
they show smaller profit in 1916
than they averaged from 1937-39,
with certain restrictions.
It is possible, therefore, that the
Treasury may have to pay out
money to reduce losses of some
firms which may suffer losses
from strikes.
Hope has. been expressed that
another S., 900, OoO,0 900 may be lop-
ped off individuals taxes next
year, although wars generally have
left taxpayers saddled with per-
manently increased costs of gov
eminent.

Grisly Experiments
OF Nazis Disclosed

WASHINGTON. Sept. I'll R-
The grisly details of how Nazi
experinenters froze concentration
camp inmates to death seeking
methods to save their airmen from
the same fate were revealed today
in German documents released by
the War department.
In matter-of-fact language the re-
ports told how the human guinea
pigs were stripped and exposed
for hours to cold winter air, or
subjected to ice baths.
The experiments we're classed by
the Nazis as research on "the be-
havior of organisms at great
heights."

a Volunteer Red Cross worker
will call on you. He or she will
give you the opportunity to
give. as you feel you can to
support the work Of this great
organization.
He is giving of his time and
doing il of his own free win.
He may not know all about
the Red Cross, but he does
know that fundamentally It is
one Of the worlds greatest SER
vice organizations. He is try
ing to help. His time is limit
ed. Here's how you can help
make his Job q little easier.
Decide today what you think
you can give and be ready TO

times while you make up your
mind.
If you don't see eye to eye
with the movement, the volun-

Journalist Tells Of Car Production:
F ew Autos, Tires, Paris This Year

In order to speed production the
auto industry may skip 1947
models in order to eliminate the
usual stoppage for retooling.
Mr.. Peterson predicted that
there would be plenty Of truck
tires for essential use by July, but
that it would be late fall or winter
before there would be sufficient
passenger car tires.
In auto parts the situation is as
bad as in new cars. There will be q
shortage of parts for many months,
he said.
Mr.. Peterson discussed labor re-
lations and said that the auto in
dustry will abide by laws. Fact
finding at the present time Is q
philosophy, but not q law. Col
lective bargaining, he said, IS here
to stay. It is a part Of our economy.

Ernest w. Peterson, associate
editor of the Oregon Journal, was
the featured speaker at the Tues
day luncheon meeting OF the Ken
newick KiwaniS club.
Mr.. Peterson recently returned
from an eastern trip at which time
he interviewed the heads OF most
of the major automobile manufact-
urers. He stated that 1t would
probably be 18 months before the
auto industry can get into mass
production with plenty of cars for
all.
The steel strike has thrown auto
production into a tailspin. He said
it would be 80 days after the end
of the steel strike before the first
cars can be made. Strikes in the
glass industry and others also are
slowing production.
