LUBBOCK (TEX.) MORNING AVALANCHE, FEB. IS. IMS, I Morgenthau Would Keep Tax High And Postwar Interest Rates Low WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Secretary oi the Treasury Henry Morgenthau today told Congress that a strong postwar tax system must be maintained "at a rate far higher than prewar expenditures." The public debt, he added, must be reduced as rapidly as possible.

Morgenthau proposed these policies in his report to Congress on the fiscal year 1944, which ended last June 30. And for the first time, he went on record as favoring postwar tax reductions to encourage expansion of private enterprise. Ncctcsary To Economy "Such measures are essential to the realization of full employment in a peacetime economy of free enterprise and competition," he said. He added that "little if any" tax reduction could be expected until major hostilities cease. Premature tax relaxation, he said, might tend to defeat the aims of the stabilization program.

The treasury is working with a joint committee from Congress on matters of postwar tax politices. He assured Congress that there was no question of the ability of the country to pay off its huge public debt. Morgenthau poured cold water on reports in financial centers that the government was about to offer higher interest rates on its securities offerings. Must Rates Low "Continued low interest rates," he said, "will be a major contribution to economic stability and the maintenance of full employment after the war, for low interest rates stimulate business and encourage new enterprise." The interest rate on the public debt as of June 30 last year averaged 1.93 per cent, thau said. Touching on the Bretton Woods monetary and fiscal agreements, he declared that ecenomic cooperation will facilitate the revival and growth of world trade.

To achieve these goals, he added, world cooperation with the proposed international stabilization fund and bank is essential, Receipts Short Of Expenses Total treasury receipts during fiscal 1944 were or five and one half times those of 1941, Morgenthau said. Never- tehless, he added, they met less than half of the war's costs in 1 Si. Joseph Aspirin is their first thought at first warning of EUnpla Headache or colds' painful miseries.

Juniors Add $500 To Fund For Children Junior Red Cross members contributed $500 to the National Children's fund this-month, according to Mrs. J. H. Stiles, Red Cross secretary.

The money, mailed to the National Junior Red Cross headquarters, will be added to the special and restricted account the American Junior Red Cross maintains for national contributions from boys and girls. From this fund, generous amounts have been appropriated for relief of children in war zones of England, Russia, China, Greece, France, Iceland, Poland, Finland, and Italy. War nurseries and convalescent homes for children under five living in bombed areas were established and equipped under the direction of ministries of health and Red Cross organizations. Surgical, medical and hospital supplies are included in all shipments to these innocent victims o'f war and recently special movie film and simple educational supplies, long denied the children, have been shipped. "Such gestures do much to create a spirit of world cooperation which will be so essential to a lasting peace," Mrs.

Stiles said. BUILDING IS PLANNED JACKSON, Feb. 14 Bishop J.

He he does not expect individuals to cash in their war bonds on a large scale when the war is over.

But he predicted high spending from income, based on security afforded by their savings in government securities.

A rookie in the Pacific fleet, I the escort aircraft carrier since last June had tallied this imposing record against the Japanese: A heavy cruiser and a troop transport sunk, four cruisers and four destroyers damaged, three battleships probably damaged, 16 planes shot down, other planes destroyed on the ground, troops wiped out with bombs, ground installations smashed. Was In Inrmiioni She fought through three Leyte and Mindoro. In the Philippines area, the Navy announced, she was sunk by enemy action. The minesweeper Long also was lost. The number of casualties was not disclosed; their next of kin have been notified.

Both commanders were saved. The Ommaney Bay was the 10th U. S. aircraft carrier and the fifth of the "baby flattop" class sunk in this war. The losses hiked the total of warships sunk to 209.

The carrier would have a normal complement of 500 officers and men, a Navy officer said, and the minesweeper about 120 personnel. Hadn't Lost a Pilot Up until her final action, the Ommaney Bay and her air complement wrought heavy destruction on enemy forces without the loss in combat of a single pilot or aircrewman the Navy said. She fought through three invasions, Palau, Levte and Mindorc, and the battle of Leyte. The ship and her air complement, known as composite squadron 75, spent 12 days helping the Palau attack last September, at one stage catching a heavy concentration of enemy troops with 10 accurate bomb hits.

McClendon was not seriously injured and was back at his gun in the next fleet action. In the Leyte fleet battle Oct. 24, the carrier and her airmen fought two Japanese forces. The first fight came when a force of planes was launched to hunt down the fleeing Japanese fleet.

Lt. Comdr. Allen W. Smith, Atlanta, and Jacksonville, commanding composite 75, led the attack in an Avenger. They found a Mogami class heavy cruiser! Cruiser Was Damaged The Japanese cruiser was not sunk but was damaged.

Meantime, another enemy fleet was menacing The Bay and her sister escort carriers. She launched four torpedo bombers as the Japanese battleships' approached. One hit a In the second fight, Smith led a group against a fleeing heavy cruiser and sunk it. It was finally found through efforts of Smith's crewman, Arnold R. Zubik, aviation radioman, Richmond, Tex.

As a result of the feat, Zubik, previously awarded the Navy and Marine Corps medal for rescuing a pilot from a burning airplane, was sent on to flight school, to become a commissioned officer and aviator.

The "precipitation" on that day was 1.90 inches, and E. A.

OJ.R)— Sen. Elmer Thomas, said today under Secretary of the Navy Ralph A. Bard had advised him that Capt. V. C.

Griffin, commandant of the Naval station at Norman, would be transferred to a new command about March 15. Griffin, Thomas said, had irritated Norman citizens by what they felt was his excessive activity in community affairs. Thomas said Griffin had opposed a bond issue for water improvements and had initiated a Naval investigation of rent ceiling violations. In his letter to Thomas, Bard said a naval invetsigator general had found Griffin's activities "proper" in. botli these instances and that the officer was merely trying "to protect the interests of his command as well as those of the federal government." However, Bard added, the inspector admitted that Griffin "has not always displayed the maximum amount of tact and diplomacy." Bard wrote Thomas that he had been 'advised" that Griffin's tour of duty at Norman ends "on or about March.
