In Income Taxes
Committee Proposes
Some Exemptions
For els in Koreu
BY the Associofed Press

The Senate Finance Committee
today approved an annual in
crease of about SO billion in per-
sonal income taxes.
The bill authorizes the Govern
ment to begin digging deeper into
the pockets Of over so million tax
payers on October l.
At the same time, the committee
instructed it's staff to draw up an
exemption which would have the
effect of removing taxes from
members Of American fighting
forces below the commissioned
officer rank in Korea and other
areas of hostilities.
Some exemption also woulc
apply to officer personnel under
this plan.
300 Increase for Some.
If the Senate and House ap-
prove the tax bill, as they are ex-
pected to do, the tax obligations
of individuals will go up as much
as 20 per cent in some income
brackets
Beginning october 1, withhold
ings on wages and salaries, after
personal exemptions, would jump
from the present Is per cent to Is
per cent.
The committee action COM
pleted its approval of the major
items in President Truman's first
installment" $5 billion tax pro-
gram intended to help pay for
the Korean war and Americas re-
armament against Communist ag-
gression.
The tax framing group yester-
day approved a $1.5-billion- dollar
a-year increase in corporation
taxes. raising the top levy on cor
porate income from 80 per cent
to As, effective as of July l, 1850
Presidents Plan Expanded.
The higher tax rates will apply
on half of 1850 corporate income
but only to a fourth of 1850 in
dividual income.
All told, the committee now has
approved items aggregating about
$4.5 billion of the Presidents S.
billion request. 1t has yet to act
on several minor items, and pos
sibly on an excess profits tax pro-
posal for corporations.
New individual and corporate
income levieS, along with plug.
ging of tax law loopholes, are
the major items in President
Truman'S first t-inStallment tax in
crease.
OMahoney Ready for Fight.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Truman let
be known that if Congress want
to tack on. extra, a multibilliol
dollar excess prof1tS tax aimed a
profiteering. he will not object.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat
of Wyoming. said he is ready tt
make a Senate floor fight for /,
81 billion excess profits levy Thi
would be in addition to the in
crease in the normal corporation
tax rates. Senator O'Mahoney sale
the new As per cent corporate rate
would not stop imitation.
But the President advised Con-
gress it would be better to take UP
this highly controversial subject
in November when the lawmakers
get over their election jitters
Eventually there will be an excess
profits levy, the President said.

Resignation on

By Froncis ?. Douqlos

Carroll L. Wilson, who resigned
Tuesday as general manager OF
the Atomic Energy Commission,
said today he was moved to a
large extent by apprehension that
the Congressional Joint Atomic
Energy Committee will become "a
super board of directors"
That committee, in his opinion,
already has stepped out of its
role as legislative committee and
into the executive function.
In addition. Mr.. Wilson said.
the commission itself has tended
to become a management COM

 Under the Magnuson proposal, Japanese who enlisted would be paid up to half the rate of Ameri- can troops. They would not be made eligible either for American citizenship or for veterans bene- fits.
 The Washington Senator said chairman Tydings D.-Md0 had promised an early hearing by the armed services committee on the proposal, with the observation that the group would explore at the same time the possibility of making the same sort of opportun- ity available to German war vet erans.

Fuel For Planes
 Arrives at FOrmOsa

TAIPEI, Formosa, (P)-The U. S. navy tanker Cimarron arrived at the Formosan port of Keelung Saturday, under escort of three American warships, bringing a full load of fuel for planes guard ing against a communist invasion of FormoSa.
 There was much speculation as to whether the gasoline was in- tended for American or Chinese Nationalist war planes. General Macarthur said he would supply fuel for both. Six American jet fighters arrived Friday.
 The cruiser Juneau arrived at Keelung with the Cimarron and anchored in the harbor. Two U. s. destroyers stood guard outside.
 While the Cimarron began un- loading, work went ahead on ex- tending airfields on this Nation alist island for use by American war planes.
