a law which authorizes removal
from the active service of regular
Air Force officers who are deemed
unfit for active service. .
However, such removals are con-

disciplinary in nature.
Under the law the board could
take two actions:
/. 1t could recommend retention
of the officer in the service, which
would end the case against him.
2. It could recommend removing
him from the active list. In that
event, the action would be re-

would be referred to the secretary

He could approve or disapprove

Tax Bureau Collects
Record $64.9 Billion;
Other RevenuesUp
$14.5 Billion Increase
Reported Over Lost Yeur;
Higher Take Seen in '53

The Internal Revenue Bureau
during the fiscal year ending
June 80 collected a record $64.9
billion in taxes and social Sc
curity contributions-about $14.5
billion more than in the previous
IL months.
In addition, other Federal
agencies took in another $2.3 bill
lion for the fiscal year.
The exact totals for the tax
bureaus collections were $64,971,-
210, ,298.94 for the 1852 year, COM
pared with $50,386.6 .682 .228.60 for
the 1851 fiscal year.
These totals cover Individual
income and employment taxes
corporation income and profit
taxes and miscellaneous reve-
nue." The miscellaneous items
include customs duties on liquor
and post office receipts from sale
of documentary stamps. .
New York Leads States.
AS usual, New York led all
States in collections, with $12.2
billion. Next highest States were
Illinois. $50 billion; PENNSYLVANIA
$5.1 billion, and California, SAG
billion.
Maryland collections - which
also include those in the District
amounted to $1,738. 1863, ,932.16, as
compared with $1.406, ,634 ,606. "a
the previous year.
Virginia's collections came to
81 ,051 ,005, ,877.30, compared with
1884 ,489, ,984.89 the previous year.
New estimates made public this
week by the White House show
the Government expects total COL
lections in the year ending next
June 80 to be about $75 billion
$40 billion above the 1852 record
peak.
Officials explained, however,
that these gross collections run
far above the net figures used to
determine the budget deficit or
surplus. The fiscal 1852 deficit
was 81 billion.
Refunds Figure in Net.
Refunds to taxpayers who forked
over too much and amounts set
aside for social security are the
chief factors in getting the net
figures. The refunds and set
asides for the 1852 year, for
example. will be about $5.8 bill
lion.
Internal Revenue officials said
the collections were up all along
the line.
Withheld income taxes went up
about $5.5 billion to $21.9 billion.
Corporation taxes-both income
and excess prof1t-zoomed almost
so per cent, rising to $21.5 bill
lion. This is the biggest per-
centage increase in any tax class
during the year.
Miscellaneous taxes rounded up
by the Revenue Bureau accounted
for about $40 billion.

big Four Auto Makers
To Get More Steel as
Smaller Firms Are Cut
NPA Order Will Allow
Industry Giants to Make
$1,000 More Cars in Year

The Government today made 8
new division of production amone
automobile manufacturers which
will mean that the four larger
manufacturers will get a larger
cut of available metals.
Under the apportionment by the
National Production Authority
the shares of metals going tt
seven smaller concerns will be
reduced.
The effect, according to one
Representative of the industry
will be that if production is lin
tied to million cars in the mex
year, the four larger companies
will be allowed to make $1,000
more cars. The smaller com
panies' production will be cut b!
that figure. ...
Percentages Changed.

Motors to produce 41Y62 per cen
of the total output, and its share
of the total steel, copper ane
aluminium will be geared to the
figure. Formerly its percentage
was Al.
Chrysler is to get 21.76 per cent
instead of 21.43; Ford, 21.31 pei

baker, 4.19 per cent instead o1

Smaller percentages were al
loted to Nash, 3.42 per cent in.

Frazer, 2 per cent instead of 2.47;
Packard, 1873 per cent instead Of

Iper cent instead of 1.21.
All other producers, a category
which has included only Crosley
and the Checker Cab Co., are tt
get 0.1 per. cent. Crosley has hac
0.21 per cent and Checker Cat
0.08 per cent.
The NPA assignment of per.
centages was based originally or
the position of each company ir
the market in 1947, 1948 anc
1949. But NPA. said the smaller
companies had failed to use all O.
the materials allotted them in tn.
year ending June l. The amount
Of unusued metals, NPA said, wa.
equal to 1.42 per cent of the tota
allotted the industry.
NPA Defends Action.
That percentage is now divided
among the larger concerns. NPA
said this is in accord with thu
Defense Production Act provision
that allotment of materials must
take into account not only the his.
toric position of producers in tn,
industry but also their current
competitive position.
Ford recently asked for a larger
share Of the total auto production
It contended that it's sales recorc
entitled it to a higher percentage
than Chrysler's, which had beer
in second place for II years. This
was denied by an appeals board
