Republicans SheIye
Truman $40 Tax Cut
For Khufson Measure
BY the A.soeiatsd Press

Republicans today pasted a
"flle and forget" tag on Presi-
dent Truman's proposal for a
living" cut in income
taxes balanced by a new excess
profits levy on corporations.
With even key congressional DEM
ocrats showing little enthusiasm for
the White House plan, the majority
leadership signaled instead for ac-
ton on measure by Representative
Knutson, Republican. of Minnesota
to reduce income taxes $500 ,000, 900
ayear, mainly on a percentage basis.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee which Mr.. Knutson heads
was summoned to take up his bill
tomorrow. Secretary of the Treas
ury Snyder was invited as the first
witness.
The Presidents proposal went be-
fore Congress late yesterday after
he conferred at the White House
with Representatives Doughton,
Democrat, of North Carolina
Cooper, Democrat, of Tennessee,
and Dingell, Democrat, of Michigan,
all members of the Ways and Means
Committee.
Dingen Offers Bill.
To the surprise of many it was
introduced by Mr. Dingell instead of
Mr.. Doughton, who is House man
ager of tax matters for his party
and headed the committees when
Democrats controlled Congress.
Il wasn't ready to take position"
Mr. Doughton told reporters. Il
wasn't consulted before the bill was
drafted"
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia, Democratic leader on tax
legislation in the Senate, said mo
comment" when asked what he
thought of it.
The measure would:
l. Give each taxpayer a fiat $40
a-year reduction for himself and
each dependent dated back to jan
uary /. Thus a man with wife and
two children would pay $160 less in
1913. This would remove 10,300,000
persons from the tax rolls and re-
duce the taxes of 54,5O0,000 others.
2. Recoup the SO 200, 100000 loss of
Federal revenue by new IS per cent
excess profits tax on corporations
Corporations with profits of $4,000
or less would be exempt. Others
would receive an exemption of 1875
per cent of their average 1935-1939
profit plus $4,000.
Profits Tax Formula.
A corporation with an average
net income of 100000 in the 1885,
1899 period would figure its exemp-
ton by adding IS per cent, making
s135,000, and then another $4,000,
bringing the figure up to $185 900.
The IS per cent tax would be levied
on any profits above $185 900.
Taxes on profits of new corpora
tions would be measured by capi-
tai investment formula.
The wartime excess profits tax
was 95 per cent of income above
the 1935-1939 base. with no extra ex-
emptions. Ten per cent was re-
fundable after the war. That levy
was repealed by Democratic Con-
gress right after the war.
Mr. Dingell said he would offer
the Truman proposal as substitute
when the Ways and Means Com
mittee votes on Mr.. Knutson's bill
early next week One Democrat
said privately he doubts that more
than half of the 10 Democrats on
the committee will support the
President.

Mars Again.
New York Times)

Mars is now about 63 100000 miles from the Earth as close as it will this year Accordingly, astronomers of the University of Chicago have spent much of February in studying the planet spectro- graphically in the hope of determining whether or or not the arid red areas green in spring and summer because trees in leaf and other vegetation is flourishing Probably the Chicago astronomers bone that nothing like intelligent life will ever be discovered on Mars They will certainly have nothing to do with the genuses postulated by the late Pro lessor Percival Lowell who thought that on planet which was drying up there would be a desperate concerted effort to make the most Of melting sho"s in rrjgating dry temperate and tolrid zones NO astronomer objects to vegetation which comes ana poes with the seasons and which is no more intel lectual than terrestrial cabbage
 With the aid of a sensitive infra-red spectro- graph developed during the Mars is being eX- amned in Texas with a thoroughness Carbon dioxide was discovered years ago in it's atmo- sphere discovery that augurs well for vegetation. But these polar caps-are they snow, as they appear to be? Probably So far water-vapor has been detected in the atmosphere of Mars and water-vapor is an essential of life. This lack of water-vapor may be explained by the coarseness Of the instruments hitherto used As for the vegetation, it may consist of lichens which draw water from the air and which would not show up black on mira red photograph This new study of Mars may settle some old doubts but it is not likely that it will add greatly to our knowledge or give much comfort to the few who may still think that the so-called are the sites of great cities

Barnes Bill
Washington Post

The latest effort at statutory eXtrpation of witch craft in Massachusetts takes the form of proposal called the Barnes bill It provides that mo person who is a member of the Communist Party or who by speech or in writing advocates it's doctrines shall be employed as a teacher or otherwise in any uni versity college, school public private, or in any position in the educational system of the Common wealth of any city town, superintendency union or county This is probably the most sweeping prohibi ton since the abolition of Japanese thought control It embraces not ony teachers and occasional lec- lures but administrative personnel clerical assistants and even custodal employees And the manner of it's enforcement is even more remarkable. Not only the employee but the employer as well would be held liable to the extent of a $10000 fine and year in
 board of trustees could prove very costly under these conditions.
 The Barnes bill has than local significance chiefly because it is symptomatic of a spreading h- tolerance respecting any sort of political noncon- fornity It is of course. already crime under the laws of Massachusetts and of the United States to advocate overthrow of the Government by force or violence But this bill would penalze also mere membership in a party alleged to advocate such overthrow or more advocacy of any of the doctrines o that party This latter provision is presumably aimed at the vague category called fellow travellers It IS liable to catch every teacher exhibiting the slightest i,denendence of outlook As President Conant oi liar yard observed when he testified in opposition to the Barnes bill the real danger to America comes not from a suread of doctrines of revolution but rom fear approaching panic hysteria and conse- oent repudiation of all the basic principles that nave ellided the destiny of this Republic"
