timninirt UEfiiRTlr THE SANDUSKY REGISTER-STAR- AUG, 5, 1941 Defense Tax Bill May Undergo Revisions In Senate, Capital Hears (Continued From Page One.) I'he base-broadening mention-1 td by George would be in line' with President Roosevelt's views, tor the chief executive told the ways and means committee he the exemptions for persons should be reduced from $800 to $750 and those for married persons from $2,000 to £1,500. Mr. Roosevelt asserted persons in those income groups were eager to "chip in directly" to help the defense pro- tram. As it passed the house yester- iay, the bill would virtually triple the taxes of persons in the and middle income groups oy levying a graduated system of mrtaxes starting at five percent Jrt the first dollar of taxable in- jome and ranging up to 75 (the present maximum) on incomes of $5,000,000 and over. These surtaxes would be in ad- iitfon to the present normal in- some tax rate of four percent, which was continued.

But even it a married man earning and having no dependents would pay $38,50 under the new plan compared with his present tax of $11. The new yield from individual Income taxes were expected to be Inthe neighborhood of $829,000, D00. $1,322,900,000 would be raised from corpora tNjttj through surtaxes, stiffer excess profits taxes and a dras tically revised method of com putting them. Surtaxes would start at five percent on profits up tor $25,000 and rise to six per cent on any amount in excess of that. Excess profits tax rates which now range from 25 to 50 per cent would be boosted tOLjun from 35 to 60 percent.

State Water Supply Board To Start Work COLUMBUS A new state agency intended to preserve and replenish Ohio's dwindling industrial WASHINGTON, (UP) Thomas A. Jenkins, R. from- Ironton, said today the $3,206,200,000 estimated revenue from the House-approved tax I bill "is all the burden taxpayers bear at present" and urged rigid economy to reduce gov expenditures by $2,000, 300,000. Jenkins, only Ohio member of ways and means committee was- one of the leaders in the successful fight to eliminate the provisions requiring joint in "come tax returns by husbands luid wives. Defeat of the innovation policy reduced prospective by $323,000,000 a year Rep.

Jenkins said he would any move to make up the by higher Income rate oilier levies. 'The sensible thing for th to do is to canvass the Dill for any loopholes but not at to increase rates to point where they will be unduly aurdensome," he said. "If the administration makes up its mind economize, it can easily cut this year's expenditures by 000." Advocates of the joint income provision conceded after their 242 to 160 defeat yesterday that ihe issue is dead for this year. Representative J. Harry Mc- Sregor, from West Lafayette, was the only Ohio Congress- nan to vote against the bill on 'Anal passage.

I I He said his vote was a protest 1 against the "gag rule" under 1 which the measure was considered. "The bill imposes taxes on some industries in my district jut not on their competitors," 1 1 Representative McGregor said.

It's a case of now or never vith he invaders, and the fierceness of hii titanic struggle makes it dear that it rapidly is boiling lown to a point where it must ell goon. Evidence of heavy Hitlerian reinforcements is seen in the Ing of the battle in the southern ector about Kiev.

The Nazis appear to be throwing special weight thiu operation, which threatens tussia's communications with the Hack sea and vital oil supplies. Berlin reiterates that the objective of all the Nazi operations ontinues to be the destruction of Red forces rather than the mmediate capture of territory. This wasn't true at the outset the Nazi invasion. Then the Germans figured on rolling the back without much ef- 1 jort and achieving another real iilitzkrieg. fff The limiting resistance of the ituisians, however, forced Hitler I chance his plan of operations.

Thus has developed one of the left combats of history. What further line of strategy Russians intend to pursue it keen disclosed as yet by the phinx ofjfoscow. water supply will be created under a new law that goes into effect tomorrow. No immediate effects are contemplated since the magnitude of such a project is explained to require a long period of planning and development.

The water table has been falling steadily over Ohio for the past number of years and a shortage was feared only recently in the defense-busy Mahoning valley. The law sets up a water supply board and an advisory committee with authority to obtain and assemble data on. water requirements in various districts and the best means of satisfying the requirements. The board is composed of the directors of agriculture, commerce and health, the dean of the college of engineering at Ohio State University, and the state geologist. The advisory committee is to be appointed by the governor.

Commerce and industry, agriculture, labor, municipal corpprations and the public will be represented. Neither the members of the board nor the advisory committee are to receive compensation although they may be paid actual expenses. Other bills also effective tomorrow give county commissioners authority to limit the size of loads to be carried over bridges and provides penalties ranging from $25 to $200 fines and imprisonment from 10 to 30 days; and revises the state building code to permit the erection of three-story apartment houses with only one means of egress if the construction is fireproof or principally so.

British Ready For Action In Far East War (By The Associated Press.) MANILA, P.

state of military preparedness in and about Malaya reached a new high today and the' belief grew in informed circles that the British are making preparations for swift moves to control the key points of Thailand, possibly in advance of open Japanese encroachment. Large reinforcements of British imperial and Indian troops reached Singapore, with RAF personnel, even while dispatches from Bangkok itself acknowledg ed that Thailand was facing a momentous decision in her rela tions with Japan, Britain and the United States. Thai officials would not deny that Japan is applying pressure for the granting of certain demands; indeed, Tokyo already was broadcasting a Bangkok dispatch to the effect the Thailanders had recognized Man- choukuo, Japan's puppet empire, thus acceding to Japan on what had been regarded as a test issue. The Thailand dispatches, although somewhat delayed, indicated, however, that this Japanese announcement might be premature, and there were clear hints that Thailand was anxious to know more about the immediate plans of Britain and the United States, particularly the latter. Persons who have been in touch with British military men in key places in the Orient believed the British had made emergency plans to seize control of Bangkok and the KRA isthmus ports, moving probably from the western Burma border.

The RAF has reinforced its Burma bases for flank protection against any airports which Japan may establish in Thailand; picked Australians and the cream of the India regiments have been moved by the thousands to the Victory Haircut Merle Schllcher of Cleveland shows what can happen If you let the for Victory' campaign go to your head.

Faces Charge Of Murder Today In Deaths Of 2 Men Provide Instruments For Defense Effort DETROIT Toolmakers in two plants crippled by thefts of precision instruments went ahead on full defense production sched ules today thanks to quick help from rival companies and private citizens.

Saigon, main base of the great Japanese military jnove ment into Indo- China, also heard reports that a well-equipped Chinese army is on the Burma border, ready to cross at a moment's notice to join the British in any actior which may be decided upon by the British Far Eastern command at Singapore. Just as the British believe that any Japanese move toward Bang' kok or the KRA isthmus would directly menace Singapore, so the Chinese believe that the Japanese military move through In do-China imperils the Burma road, their supply lifeline in China. Everywhere it was agreed that Thailand was the key to the ex plosive situation; that it might become the Poland or the Syria of the Far East. Despite the explicit economic warnings which the United States and Great Britain have delivered to Japan in the form of asset freezing and fuel embargoes, informed sources here believe Japan is determined on the plunge.

On the other hand Britain, backed by the United States, is represented in many quarters as determined to halt the Japanese advance at long last, and convinced now that a military move is the only effective means. It is contended that during last February's crisis, when Japan was imposing her peace terms or French Indo-China and Thailand, Tokyo demanded rights to use Singora Bay, on the east side the Kra isthmus about 400 miles north of Singapore. At that time, it is said, Japanese pressure on Thailand war halted only by quick dispatch of British reinforcements to the Malaya-Thailand border. Whether Britain now could stop TOLEDO, ex-convict who was paroled on July 1 from Ohio Penitentiary was to be arraigned in municipal court to day on a charge of first degree murder. Detective Ralph Murphy said that Thomas Williams, 36, Negro, Detroit, had signed a confession that he wounded two Toledo men fatally and shot an 18-year-old youth during and after a $140 holdup of the Toledo Ice and Coal Co.

last Friday. Williams said he bought the gun used in the shooting in a pawnshop in New Orleans after he was released from Ohio Penitentiary on July 1. He said he served a Michigan prison term for burglary and had been turned over to Ohio authorities for burglary at WoosteTT in 1932. He was sentenced one to 15 years in the penitentiary. Records at the penitentiary in Columbus show that Williams was admitted to the reformatory at Mansfield on a burglary from Wayne-co (Wooster in 1932 and was transferred to the penitentiary in 1936.

He was paroled July 1 upon agreement to go to Louisiana. Captured Sunday evening in the yards of the Toledo Edison Williams was identified by Ernest Zimmer, 18, the youthful robbery victim, as the bandit who held him up in the fuel company office and then shot him while tying his hands behind his back. Williams was taken to the hospital where Zimmer is recov ering from his wound. Williams confessed shooting Zimmer and also killing Samuel Arnovitz, 57, and Herman Kan- dder, 26, whose automobile he tried unsuccessfully to commandeer. Forecast Vote Today On Army Service Bill WASHINGTON Counting; their battle already won, Senate leaders strove to obtain a vote at today's session on the controversial legislation extending for 18 months the service of all Army personnel.

The administration measure, however, had to wait until the chamber disposed of the substitute proposal by Senator Taft (It- Ohio) which would permit only a six-months extension in the present year's service for selectees, a year more for 'National Guardsmen and reservists, and no extension at all for the regular Army enlisted men serving the standard three-year hitch. Democratic Leader Berkley obtained an agreement late yesterday to vote on the Taft at 1 p. m. Barkley and Senate Hill (D-Ala) both predicted the proposal would receive less than 30 of the Senate's present 95 votes. Under the administration's bill, the Chief Executive could keep all selecteer, reservists, National Guardsmen and regular enlisted men for an additional 18 unless Congress meanwhile cancelled the authorization.

The meas- sure represents a compromise for an earlier proposal asking an indefinite extension of the training periods. Senator Thomas (D-Utah), floor manager for the extension measure, told reporters today that the pending legislation would provide for an additional 18 months of service for conscientious, objectors who were assigned to non-combat work after they were drafted.

It is ognized, however, that Japanese warships might head simultaneously for the Netherlands East Indies which, it is believed here, would bring the final explosion. Most observers here believe that Japan is getting ready now t( attack both southwest Asia Siberia whenever this is expedient, but since any campaign against Russia probably would be protracted, Japan would be forced to risk naval hostilities in the south Pacific in order to assure a supply of raw materials, especially oil.
