.HopeGiiven Up
For Billion Net
Tax Increase
Higher Collections
May Just Balance
Cut in Excise Levies
By the Assoeiaied Press

By the Assoeiated Press
Democratic tax law writer's to-
day apparently abandoned any
idea OF 81 billion net increase in
taxes, as proposed by President
Truman.
Instead, it looks as though they
may approve a tax bill:
l. Slashing excise levies by
about 81 billion. Mr.. Truman has
proposed that such a cut be held
to $685. million.
2. Picking up about ST billion
by increased collections in other
directions. The President pro-
posed that $685. million excise
cut be offset-and that an addi-
tional 81 billion be collected
through plugging O. tax law loop
holes and by new levies on big
corporations, inheritances and
large gifts.
The new tax bill is not expected
to make any changes in individual
income tax rates.
Truman Warns of Veto.
Mr.. Truman has given advance
warning that he will veto. any tax
bill that cuts excises without pick
ing up the lost revenue elsewhere.
1t appears now that House
Democrats may try to cover the
excise loss, and forget about pick
ing UP an extra 81 billion.
Just how they are going to cut
excises and where they are going
to recoup the amount of the rev.
enue loss is another question.
The Is Democratic members of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee failed in two closed door
sessions, with Speaker Rayburn
and House Democratic Leader Nc
Cormack attending. to reach an
agreement.
Agreement to Be Sought Again.
They will try again today to get
some understanding among them
selves before they begin executive
sessions with the 10 Republicans
on Monday. to begin the actual
writing OF the measure.
One member said privately that
"all was confusion" at similar
meetings Wednesday and yester-
day, with the Is Democrats having
about is ideas of what the new
tax bill should be.
The President, with details
filled in by the Treasury, has pro-
posed that excise cuts be limited
to halving of the 20 per cent levy
on furs, luggage. jewelry and toilet
preparations, elimination of the
3 per cent tax on freight, reduc-
ton from Is per cent to 10 on the
passenger ticket excise and a re-
duction in the rate from Is per
cent to Is on long distance tele-
phone and telegraph messages.
Television Tax Proposed.
A new 10 per cent excise on
television sets was proposed.
Many members are pressing for
expansion of the list of reduc-
tions-particularly for a slash in
the 20 per cent levy on movie
tickets.
Some Democrats are feeling
around for new revenue sources
not suggested by the President.
One idea tossed around is that
the Government put a fat 10 per
cent withholding tax on dividends
paid by corporations, with the in
dividual taxpayers who receive the
dividends getting credit for such
withnoldings when they file their
final return each year.
This, one member said, should
pick up about $3.50 million extra
by collecting the taxes on divi-
dends that now are being avoided
by persons who do not report
them in their returns.

 All you do is re-arrange the letters to form a single word which is the name of a place in Alaska, and you also show which is the extra letter. For example, the phrase For q change" when it is unscrambled equals ANCHORAGE" plus the ex- tra letter "F."
 Just remember that all place-names consist of only one Word-and re- member to show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each AlaSkagram

sources, the general pointed out,
is the comparatively new air-con-
ditioning industry. He said we
must look forward to the time
when most stores, restaurants,
public buildings and theaters will
be cooled during hot weather.
And it takes a tremendous amount
Of water.
Much Of the water useu py in
dustry for cooling can be used
again. But some water so used is
contaminated and must be treated
before reuse. Gen. Pick said that
steel plants Of the Youngstown
area along the Mahoning River all
use the river water and that the
temperature of the stream below
the city gets as high as. 140 de-
grees.
He cited an excellent example of
industrial location the Standard
Oil refinery on the Mississippi at
Baton Rouge, La. The. plant uses
an enormous amount of fresh
water, but there is plenty in the
river for use when the mud is
taken out. Deep-draft vessels can
come directly to the refinery docks.
Both rail and highway transpor-
tation are excellent.
Necessary Steps
Some Of the gulf refineries are
using brackish water for cooling,
Gen. Pick. said. The resulting
corrosion is a major problem.
How is the water problem to be
met?
Gen. Pick said we have to con-
serve the soil, not only to produce
food and lumber but to save water
as well. And we have to control
the run-oh.
Terracing and contour plowing
prevent the erosion Of the top soil.
This saves fertility for food pro-
Iductior, helps prevent the sitting
Of reservoirs and allows more
water to sink into the ground.
Reforestation not only will pro-
vide q future supply Of lumber but
it also will save the soil Of the cut
over areas and slows the run-ofi
Of water.
There remains the major en-
cheering problem OF saving the
water IN the river basins and not
permitting it to tear Its way
through the rich bottom lands In
devastating spring floods and to
pour itself unused into the sea.
Congress Co-operates
I'VE are pouring millions of gall
Ions Of water into the sea, uncon-
trolled and uncomfortable until we
impound II" the general said.
He believes that this problem Is
not generally appreciated. It
means saving water In every
stream where it can be stored up.
When that Is done there will be
water behind the dams for the Use
OF an expanding industry, for elec-

pirate 81 900 900 for ideas how to
obtain drinkable water from the
sea at reasonable cost.
There Is also a supply of water
underground. But in places along
the California coast so much was
pumped out that sea water took
the place of the fresh water
underground and the wells were
salted. This has occurred in Flor
ida, too, and even in Brooklyn and
adjacent areas of Long Island.
Farms Sop 1t Up
Higher farm prices led to more
acres in cultivation and to the
need for more water. In Arizona
so much water was pumped from
underground that the water
tables subsidized and in some places
the supply of water has failed to
meet the demand. Texas has sim
liar problems, both for agriculture
and for its growing cities. Parts
of Illinois and Ohio have encoun-
tered shortages in their under
ground supply.
Washington has an ample
water supply" said Gen. Pick,
giving reinsurance to this area.
But" he warned, cit would be
used up quickly If we would place
large industries along our streams. !"
Gen. Pick asserted that we have
had enough experience now to
know that we cannot take from
underground amounts of water
comparable to the surface water
that is used. Tapping the under
ground supply is only temporary
expedient, he said.
Industry's Uses
He gave the daily average use
OF water per capita in this country
as 200 gallons. Since it is estimated
that the domestic use runs at 100
gallons a day or less, it is apparent
that industry and irrigation takes
a half or even more Of the supply,
To indicate the tremendous
quantities Of water industry uses,
Gen. Pick gave these figures: It
takes 10 gallons of water to pro-
duce one gallon Of gasoline; SO GAL
Ions Of water for one pound of
steel tsteel is usually figured in
tons, which means $4,000 gallons
Of water per ton of steel); 100 gall
Ions Of water for one pound Of
synthetic rubber.
IF we are to continue to ex-
pand our industry" he said, I'VE
will have to decentralize our in
dustrial areas. Defense is not nee
essarily . consideration In this.
The main reason is water.
Heavy industry should be along
the larger streams, not only where
it can get water transportation
but-and more important-where
it can get fresh water. That is q
must"

Court Reaffirms RuIinq
AGAINST Minors Suit

The United States Court of
Appeals today reaffirmed its stand
that a minor cannot sue a person
charging that the affections and
support Of its parents were alien
ated.
The court, which made a similar
finding in another case in 1916, re-
peated its ruling today in the case
of James Elder, jr., IA, of Chicago
who sought $4,000 damages from
an English woman, contending
that she wrongfully "enticed" his
father, an Army officer, from his
home and induced" the father to
desert James and Mrs. Elder.
1t. Col. Elder, James father,
was said to have been instrumental
in breaking up the black market
in cigarettes in Paris just after
the war. His son, through Attorney
Nicholas j. Chase, charged that
on Col. Elders return in 1945 he
never went back to his family. The
suit charged that he preferred to
stay instead with Nora MacAlpine-
Downie, an attractive English citi-
zen and charged that he lived
with her here as well as in New
York and Pennsylvania.
