Show lisiiifiii lisiiiisiiiii Tax Relief per Veterans Planned By Congress Heads WASHINGTON, Sept 22 OJ.B Congress, which has ' heaped words of praise on G. I.' for winning win-ning the war, is thinking of adding ad-ding a practical note by giving discharged servicemen a big tax reduction in their first year of civilian life. Chairman Walter F. George, D., , Ga.r of the tax handling - senate finance committee disclosed today that he is very definitely considering consid-ering such a plan. If it works out, many thousands of ' ex-servicemen will be given the welcome Chirstmas present of knowing that their taxes for, next year will be whittled down to virtually nothing at all. Some may not even have to file returns. George told reporters he believed be-lieved veterans who missed high wartime wages were entitled to some extra benefits during their personal reconversion struggles. He said his plan might be written writ-ten into the interim tax reduction reduc-tion bill which congress plans to have in effect starting Jan. 1. George said he was considering consider-ing this program: 1. Continuing for the first year after discharge the extra .$1,500 exemption allowed all men in uniform under present law. Under this law a married man with two children has a total exemption of 3,500 a year, enough to exempt him entirely from taxes if he earns under $67 a week. 2. Providing extra exemptions for veterans with service over' seas, based on the length of overseas over-seas duty, so that the veterans won t face a tremendous tax load immediately upon their return to this country. 3. Freeing overseas veterans who in the final analysis would owe nothing from the obligation of even filling out returns for the years they were out of the country. George said the returns in which no tax liability was involved in-volved created only an additional burden of paper work for the government and were a nuisance to the returning veteran. George offered strong arguments arg-uments for continuing the $1,500 extra exemption for a. year. and giving additional credits to those with long overseas service. As an argument for giving extra ex-tra benefits to those with long overseas service he cited the case of an army colonel which had come to his attention. ' George said the colonel gave up a lucrative private job to join the army and spent three years outside the United States, much of it in combat service. Euring that period he had no opportunity to keep up to date in his tax liabilities. liabil-ities. Upon his return recently he figured up his tax bill and found that he owed the federal govern- mcnt $5,000. "The law allows him some time A l l 1 ,It!lI. ,1 o niaKP up nis iiaouiiy, oeorge said. "But at the same time that is a trcmeondous load to confront a man who has given three years of his life to the service of his country."' Planes Crash In Downtown Miami MIAMI.

' Measure Approved to Permit 18-Month Army Re-Enlistments WASHINGTON. Sept. 21 J.R)-r The senate military affairs com mittee today endorsed a house approved bill to encourage voluh tary army enlistments but eliminated elim-inated one-year enlistments for men already in service. As amended by the senate com mittee, the bill would provide that those already in service may re enlist for 18 months. Others U. S., Britain May Refuse to Sign Treaty By EDWARD V. ROBERTS 'United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON. Sept. 22 (U.R) In formed Romanian sources ex pressed concern today that the United States and Britain may re fuse to sign a peace treaty with Romania if Russia persists m her support of the Groza government. They said Romanian Communists, Commun-ists, chief backers of the Groza regime, recognized the possibility possibil-ity and were prepared to stake their country's future on Soviet cooperajtlon alone. . y The Pve-power council of foreign ministers, which was considering con-sidering .the Balkans problems! postponed a meeting scheduled for ltf-a. m. today. There was no immediate explanation of the postponement. Both the United States and Britain have refused to recognize the government of Premier Petre Groza on grounds that it is dominated dom-inated by Communists and is not representative of the Romanian people as a whole. American Balkan experts said Bulgarian communists had envisaged en-visaged a similar arrangement for the Soviet-supported Georgicv government in Sofia and were astonished when Moscow yielded last month to Anglo-American demands de-mands for a postponement in Bulgarian Bul-garian elections. These experts believed Russia would be willing to make certain concessions to meet anglo-Amer-ican objections to the Bulgarian government, but would stand pat on the present Romanian regime. They based this on the assumption assump-tion that. Bulgaria was not as firmly within the Soviet -orbit, as Romania.. The Bulgarian and- Romanian issues were among the thorniest confronting the Big Five foreign ministers' conference, R u ssia meantime, was moving unilaterally unilateral-ly toward reinforcing her bargaining bar-gaining position in regard to still another former enemy state Hungary. The Budapest correspondent of the London News-Chronicle reported re-ported that a five-year "economic cooperation" pact ,between Russia and Hungary already has been initialed by representatives of the! two countries and is awaiting rat- ification by the Hungarian government. gov-ernment. The dispatch said the agreement agree-ment would give Russia a half interest in-terest in the projected develop-' ment of all "basic branches of Hungarian industry, trade, natural na-tural resources, transportation and agriculture." A DREAM NO LONGER The New BEND IX s Here! See it in operation at DTR ? i .'v' -IV'r.W would be offered a choice of a two-year or three-year enlistment. enlist-ment. " Sen. Chapman Revercomb, R., W. Va., indicated he will make a fight on the senate floor to open one-year enlistments to all volunteers. volun-teers. The war department requested the 18-month enlistments on grounds that one-year enlistments enlist-ments are not economical. Army witnesses said that an 18-month enlistment for a veteran of six months service would be in line with the policy of two-year terms, indicated as the army goal by Gen. George C. Marshall in discussing demobilization with congress yes terday. Encourage Enlistments Designed to encourage enlist ments and thus reduce the need for draftees in the army of occupation, occu-pation, the bill offers volunteers all the benefits of the draft act and G. I. Bill of Rights, as well as dependency allotments as long as that program continues. The committee action came as congressional criticism of army demobilization plans continued despite Marshall's promise of point reductions and releases as fast as possible. Committee Chairman Elbert D. nmas, D, Utah, abandoned for the tune being his plan to add to the bill a draft act amendment which would limit inductions to men between 21 and 25 years old. He said he would "let it cool off a while.' Thomas said there was some discussion of the continued draft, as well as the speed of army demobilization, de-mobilization, during the commit tee meeting. The draft act under present law expires May 15, 1946. "We all want to end the draft as soon as possible," he said. He reported that the committee members generally expressed encouragement en-couragement by Marshall's state ment that discharge points are to be lowered, all men with two years service will be discharged by next spring and those for whom jobs can't te found will be released -earlier without regard to the point system. Marshall s appearance left a generally favorable impressison but. it failed to halt completely congressional criticisms of the de mobilization program. The military affairs committee approved a resolution asking President Truman to strike a spe cial medal of thanks for Marshall, who is expected to retire soon as chief of state. rhomas said congress took a similar action at the close of the Civil war on behalf of Gen. U. S Grant. Chevrolet Party Attended By 100 The Chevrolet Motor company dealers in the local zone were entertained here Saturday.

West Loast rights to War- Time By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Sept 21-With Western optimism, the Pacific Coast states are determined to consolidate and improve their wartime industrial gains. A tour of California, washing-ton washing-ton and Oregon reveals robust confidence in the prosperous future of the West, from the common com-mon laborer who migrated here to state officials and industrial leaders. , Some eastern circles had feared widespread unemployment which would occur in California, espe cially, when its fabulous airplane plants , and shipyards . closed. Probably more workers migrated here for war jobs than "to any other state. But the unemploy ment problem so far is not serious. Thousands of workers laid off when government contracts were cancelled are being gobbled up by man-hunsry agriculture, min ing, and other peace-time ind us-1 tries. In fact, these employers aren't getting the discharged workers fast enough. Many work ers are taking a vacation, living on their savings, looking for an attractive permanent job. Only a trickle is flowing back eastward to their home states. A riveter from the Douglas plant in Santa Monica who had just received his last pay check put it this way: "Leave California? Not me. I ve saved enough to keep me going for a year. I'll look around 'til find something I want to do and everything is back on its feet.' There are plenty -of possibilities pos-sibilities here. More than going back to farming in Oklahoma." See Shift tn Trade An owner- of a drug store in Beverly Hills said: "We've seen the end of domination by the East coast. With Europe in ruins and the Japs licked once and for always, trade will shift to the Pacific. We're prepared to take it." In 1944 California led all states of the nation in cash farm income. in-come. With the advances in air cargo transportation which are expected, farmers here will find an expanding market for their fruits and vegetables. But the big businessmen of the west are counting most on industrial in-dustrial expansion.

Their first hope is that he can keep steel production going in the west and expand it. They think if this basic industry can be pegged here, industry will continue its wartime western trend. Kaiser is doing all he can to keep his big steel plants operating. Kaiser is still operating the plants as Uncle Sam's agent but he and the Reconstruction Finance Corp. are quite a distance apart on a fair basis for financing the manufacturer's purchase of the massive works. Jesse Jones' first proposal made Kaiser gasp for breath but he is reported optimistic opti-mistic that he may be able to chisel the price down to something some-thing he thinks he can finance without too much pain.

Jackie Coogan, 30, who won fame in the 1920's in' Charlie Chaplin's film, "The Kid," was booked on a "drunk in auto" charge today because of a reunion re-union celebration with several overseas soldier buddies.

Cooean, on terminal leave witn the army, which expires next Sat urday, when he expects to get his discharge, told officers he at tended a reunion last night witn six soldiers with whom he fought against the Japanese. He drove one of them home after the party and then felt sleepy. "I pulled off to the side of the road, turned off the lights and fell asleep," he told police. The officers decided he had imbibed a little too much at the reunion and booked him at the station. tl is theoretically possible for a pigeon breeder to start with a dozen pairs of birds and have 960 squabs at the end of 12 months. -asSflft Hold Gains .--i.-s.s - I. i at ' atomic energy as a competitor. Lumber in the Pacific North west is still the big thing. All the lumber industry needs here to set production records is manpower. man-power. Never before in history has the nation needed wood more than it does right now. Industrial demands for business and home construction for the next 20 years are expected to keep the lumber industry operating at peak. Pacific ports are thinking in terms of expanded trade with the far fcast and Russia. Seattle is an ideal center for global aviation. Mining is expected to expand when the war ends. Mining of war minerals such as cnromite, copper, iron, lead, manganese, quicksilver and tungsten may slump but experts believe this will be more than offset by an increase in-crease .in normal mining and new uses for these "war babies" in alloys or other metal products. And to other West Coast natural na-tural resources must be added the vigor and enthusiasm of the people.

Senator Favors Reconstruct Ravaqed Russia By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press Staff Correspondent Moscow, Sept. 20 J.R Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla.. said today to-day that he believes the United States will help reconstruct war-' ravaged Russia, but he gave no estimate of the amount of such aid. Premier Stalin told visiting congressmen several days ago that Russia would like to borrow $6,000,000,000 from the United States. Pepper made his prediction that American help would "be forth coming at a press conference with Soviet correspondents. He emphasized empha-sized that he was expressing only his own personal opinion. The text of Stalin's conversa tions with the congressmen and later with Pepper were not made public, but it was understood they covered the whole range of So viet-American relations with special emphasis on possible political poli-tical and economic cooperation be tween the two countries. Stalin was reported tn have told the delegations that the United States would find the Soviet mar ket for its goods "bottomless a hint that Russia will buy all she can lay her hands on if the proper credits are granted. There is good reason to believe that the Soviets intend to spend the major portion of their re quested loan to purchase capital goods. The major problem facing Russia after the war is rehabilitation rehabili-tation of her worn transport. Other needs include machine tools, especially for use in mining and oil refining. Stalin was understood to have told the congressmen that the Soviet government was deter mined to use its resources to the utmost to raise the general well- being of the population.
