Tax Increase Assured
October | as Congress
Delays Profits Levy
by the Asseeiated Press

An October boost in income
taxes for more than so million
Americans was virtually assured
today, because Congress decided
not to delay the tax bill for an
excess profits tax at this time.
Both the House and Senate
have declared in favor; of passing
an excess profits tax, later and
making it apply retroactively to
either one-half or one-fourth of
1850 corporation income. So little
doubt remains that there will be
a multi-billion- dollar levy on big
profits and that it will apply to
part Of 1850 income.
But it's uncertain whether Con-
gress will come back after the
November elections to pass such
a bill or put it of for the new
82nd Congress in January.
The Senate last night, after a
hot debate. refused to join the
House in a resolution that called
for the writing Of the excess
profits BILL as "early as prac-
ticable" during the present ses-
sion Of Congress. The present
Congress goes out of existence
January 3. The Senate, instead,
stuck to its action taken previous
ly, when 1t wrote into the general
tax bill a provision to take up the
retroactive excess profits tax in
January.
So the matter Of timing on that
measure remained up in the air,
but meantime there apparently is
no major tax obstacle to an early
congressional recess.
The snag that threatened to
delay final action on the $4,508,-
600, 900 general tax-boosting bill
and postpone the effective date
beyond October Twas eliminated
yesterday when efforts to put a
Sc billion excess profits levy in
the present bill failed in the
House.

Does Your Child
Wulk Here?"
BY Winfield s. King

On Saturday afternoon, at 2:30
pm, six people were crossing
East Union at oath Avenue. Sud
denly, over the crest of the hill,
came a car travelling at 35 miles
per hour. A screech of brakes, a
dull thud, and little five-year-old
Stanley Ruffin, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Luther Ruffin, lay crying in the
street. Why? Why was this car
coming up over a blind hill 10
miles faster than the law allows
Why little tot struck down as he
crossed at an intersection This is
why. Here, at an important inter-
section approaching a business
district, there is not one sign to
caution motorists; there are abso-
lutely no crosswalk lines; there is
no overhead signal of any kind,
yet many, many children cross this
street on their way to and from
Madrona, Horace Mann, and Gar
field schools, not to mention others
who use the neighboring stores.
The need for traffic signal at
this point is absolutely necessary.
Your Northwest Enterprise will
do everything in its power to help
the community achieve this end.
