British Plan Hit Shukairy rft a ized that Arabs oppose in strongest fashion the British-plan to split Palestine into separate 'Arab and Jewish provinces under British control. He predietedMhat the Arab states will not participate in the discussions Britain- has scheduled so long as partition is on the agenda.

He also -reemphasized that Arabs would hot participate in any round-table discussion witli the Jews. Arab States which already have accepted invitations to the London conference, he said, did so before they knew that Britain had the partition plan in mind. Shukairy's statement came as the British commander-in-chief in Palestine, Lieut. Gen. Sir Evelyn Barker, canceled his non-fraternization order to British troops.

The order couched in language which was repudiated by the London government, had forbidden British troops to associate with Jews in any manner in order to show their "scorn" of" Jewish extremist tactics. "1 think the Russians are better equipped to teach the world how racial and' religious discrimination could be eradicated," he said. He said that western democracy and democratic principles had failed In Palestine. Ruu Face Test "Palestine now provides an acid test for the Soviet regime," he said, "whether it will project its philosophy assisting the Arabs." If Britain insists on proceeding with its partition plan, he said thafr Palestine "which is on the verge of struggle will fight." Sir Evelyn's non-franterniza-tion order. was issued late last month after the King David hotel bombing.

She' strong wording caused sharp criticism in Britain. Later the government criticized the language, but supported the content.

Projects Eliminated The conference, called to work out the most efficient use of funds available for planning work, resulted in the elimination of a number of proposed projects' from the studies to be made during the period ending June 30, 1947. In addition, progress on many of those continued on the schedule is slated for sharp cur tailment as the result of reduced appropriations. A budget estimate of $11,000,000 for this work in all 17 western states was cut to $5,000,000.

The investigations, undertaken at the request of local groups in the areas concerned, will determine whether construction of the projects is feasible from an engineering and economic standpoint'. They include topographic surveys of the land proposed for irriga lion, geologic studies of dam sites and reservoirs, engineering surveys of proposed distribution systems, land classification, and economic studies to determine the repayment ability of the project.

Vets' Rights and Privileges Told WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (NEAi The bureau of internal revenue has made several new rulings regarding the payment of income tax for men who have been listed first as "missing in action," then later announced officially dead, which are important to survivors and next-to-kin.

The rulings sound like double-talk, but they are extremely important to those persons concerned. As far as the bill the deceased serviceman owes the government for back income-tax goes, it is all forgiven. If he was drafted in the middle of a year, however, and had paid a half-year's income tax in the form of withholding deductions, that money is considered paid taxes and can't be refunded to the next-of-kin. Let us assume that a man had been listed as missing for two years, then was found to be officially dead. The survivor has to pay taxes on the final settlement of back pay.

at the same rate 1I.K ink nnnlin Iw, which would have applied to the serviceman. This part of the ruling means, however, that back taxes on other income owed by the deceased won't have to be paid by his heir. Next-of-Kin Pays Tax It is different in the case of officers. For example, a major was listed as "missing" in the ETO. It was two years before records were uncovered which proved him dead.

He had two years' accumulation of back pay. It goes to his next-of-kin. This beneficiary is entitled to $3000 total exemption on this money. That is the same exemption the major would have received had he been alive. The money the beneficiary must pay is the tax on the balance at the rate in existence during the years in which the pay was earned.

This ruling has nothing to do with the other benefits due the next-of-kin of a deceased serviceman. There is no tax on these other benefits. For the answers to specific questions on this matter -of income tax on back service-pay, write to the Commissioner of Intern'. Revenue, Washington 25. L.
