ARMY ASKS FOR
 10000 NEW SOLDTERS

dO,OOO NEW OULD1ERS
 The army this week asked for draft of 10000 men during November:
 This raised the total draft call to date to 17O,O0O, all for the army. In earlier calls the army asked for 5O,00e men in Sept ember and 5O,OOO in October.
 The defense department said today the navy and the air force do not plan to ask for draftees in November. Both services have been building up their manpower with volunteers and by the re- call of reserves.
 The draft now is limited to single men, aged IS through 25.
 Draft boards are calling the older men first.
 But with a goal of 100000 men under arms by next June, there is every sign that the draft will oon be broadened.
 Only last week Chairman Yin on (D-Ga) of the house armed services committee said that in January his group will consider raising the draft age to 35.

Democrats Disagree
On Chance Of PASSING
Excess Profits Levy
by the Asseeiofed Press


A top administration leader said
today the Senate is likely to add
o. So billion plus corporation excess
profits tax to the $5 billion tax
boosting bill.
But Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee told
newsmen he does not agree. Sen
ate tax debate-set to begin to-
morrow-may be a slam-bang af-
fair.
In q late move that may attract
new support Senator O'Mahoney
Democrat, of Wyoming softened
his excess-profitS proposal to make
the top tax IS per cent, instead
Of 100, on highest corporation
earnings that exceed normal
profits.
OMahoney Explains Aim.
His aim, he said. was ITO remove
any danger that the excess profits
tax might adversely affect the
incentives to produce"
He would make the tax effec-
tive last July /.
If the excess profits levy car
ries, the bill is expected to yield
$8.5 billion or more a year. in
stead of the S. billion President
Truman asked.
A bill substantially in line with
Mr.. Truman's recommendations
was approved unanimously yes
terday by the Senate Finance
Committee, and goes to the Senate
floor with bipartisan backing. It
would put about So billion of new
taxes on individual incomes. an
other SIS billion on corporations,
and would gather other millions
by plugging tax law loopholes.
Pinned to Present Bill.
Along with his softening of the
proposed excess-profits rates, Sen
ator O'Mahoney predicted again
that the levy would be pinned
to the S. billion bill, as a means
Of preventing ''prof1teering."
But Senator George has said the
bill will pass without an excess
profits tax "or there will be no BIZ.
at ALL" He said an excess profits
levy can be enacted later. effective
January l. 1851.
He told reporters he does not
want to be a party to hasty action
that might wreck some businesses.
Mr.. Truman also has suggested it
might be better to act later on an
excess profits levy.
A top administration leader,
who asked that his name not be
used, told newsrnen he believes
the OMahoney proposal. or some
thing like 1t, will pass now. He
said the Senate might be swept by
the same psychology that moved it
to vote broader economc controls
than the President asked.
Some Want Limits.
Some Senators are saying that
II prices and wages are to be con-
trolled, then profits should be
limited. 49,
Under his new proposal, Senator
O'Mahoney would define as NOR
NAL profits" rs per cent of a cor
poration's average earnings in the
years 1947-1949, plus $25,000 cit
would be plus $4,000 If the cor
