Tax Exempfion Cut Reporfed Proposal Of Treasury Heads $1,000 for Married And $500 for Single Persons Suggested By the Associated press. The Treasury was reported today to have propesed substantially smaller individual income tax ex- emptions as one of many methods of bringing in $9,000,000,000 addi- tional revenue proposed bv Presi- dent Roosevelt in the new budget. Reductions of the present $1,500 exemption for married persons to $1.000. and the present $750 exemp- tion for single persons to $500 was said to have been discussed in a preliminary conferenge of Demo- cratic and Republican legislators | with Secretary of the Treasury Mor- genthau and his advisers yesterday. Some members of the Senate Finance Committee said, however, that these suggested changes would provide only relatively small por- tions of the $7,000,000,000 the Presi- dent has requested in general taxes. About $2.000.000,000 in additional social security taxes is expected to be asked in separate legislation later. George Sees 12 Billion Yield. Chairman George of the Senate Finance Committee, one of the lead- ers who conferred with Mr. Morgen- thau, said he believed that in order to produce $9.000.000,000 in new rev- enue this year, it would be neces- sary to enact levies which eventual- 1y should bring in $12,000,000,000 an- nually. He explained that some of the new taxes probably would not go into effect until after July 1, and that military production, which will gen- erate much of the new revenue, will not be at a maximum until next spring. Some members of Congress began discussing the practicability of pay roll or sales taxes. Others advocated increase excise levies on such com- modities as liquor, tobacco and gasoline. Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, said it was becoming evident that either a withholding | tax—with the Government taking a percentage of each weekly pay check—or a retail sales levy would have to be restorted to if the Presi- dent's budget requirements were to be met. Taft Prefers Pay Roll Tax. “Personally,” levying of a pay roll tax, possibly of | 10 per cent. because it would be less inflationary in its effect than a sales tax.’ He estimated that a 5 per cent| tax on the sales of virtually all commodities except food, clolhmg and medicine would yield about $2,- 000.000.000. On the other hand, it was quite probable that a 10 per cent pay roll tax would bring in $5.000.000,000 additional. If the latter tax were levied, he | continued, adjustments ought to be made in the lower income brackets Senator Vandenberg. Republican, of Michigan, one of those who at- tended yesterday's conference with ! Treasury officials, said that while the discussions there were purely ex- ploratory. they “left us no room for doubt that wherever the burden of new taxation falls, it will be the most severe in history.” “There is no easy way out.” he declared, “just as there is no inex- pensive way to win a war.” Three Army Aviators Killed in Ohio Crash By the Associased Press.

Smith last night to delay removal of any agencies pending further negotiation. Senate Majority Leader Barkley yesterday afternoon told a special subcommittee of the Senate and House District groups he would co- operate with them in seeking a con- ference with the President, and urged them not %o offer a rider to the price control bill so halt the transfer of the 12 agencles slated for removal to other cities. Senator Barkley said later that, as a general proposition, he favored | keeping Government activities in Washington, and suggested it may have been shortsighted on the part of Congress in not providing ade- quate facilities on the space that is available here. At the same time, he said. it may be necessary to move some agencies temporarily during the emergncey, but that he would not favor permanent decentraliza- | tion. Smith Withholds Files. ‘The special subcommittee was ap- pointed to ask Senator Barkley | about she possibility of amending the price control bill, after Budget | Director Smith had failed to send the Senate District Committee the :flles it had requested bearing on the proposed decentralization, Mr. | Smith wrote that he had some hesi- | tancy about complying with the re- | quest because he had acted in the matter at the direction of the Presi- dent and that the records were to | some extent confidential. No amend- ment is expected to be offered to the price control bill now. The reply sent to Mr. Smith last night read, in part. as follows: “The committees will, of course, | be glad to meet with you in execu- | tive session in order that all infor- mation be treated as confidential. “It would be a very serious and | expensive error, in our ]udgment' if you were to proceed further with- | out being in possession of the facts {and testimony adduced by our com- | mittees. As this is a serious mat- ter, affecting not only the efficiency | of the Government and the change | in our national policy without legis- lation to authorize the same, as it affects the seat of Government, and deals with the welfare of thousands of Government employes, many of whom are buying homes fm the Dis- trict, we again renew most respect- | { fully our request as contained in the chairman’s letter of January 8, ‘1912 and further request that no action looking to the removal of the agencies be taken until you can con- fer with our committees and see | | whether or not the alternate pro- | | posals which we have developed | would not more efficaciously dis- pose of the matter than the plan | which seems to be contemplated.” The reply to Mr. Smith also re- viewed the testimomny which! prompted the Senate committee to give approval last week to a bill rec- ommending a $40.000,000 appropria- tion to build sufficient temporary | office space in or near the District | as an alternative to moving 12 | agencies to half a dozen widely sepa- | rated cities. | | It calls attention to testimony in- | ,dcanng that an average of about‘ 50 per cent of the employes in the | affected agencies probably would not move with the bureaus. The | letter also renewed the contention | that the cost of moving the bureaus, | including construction of living | quarters, approximates the cost of | | facilities needed to keep them here. | “We likewise have learned from | testimeny before the committee,” the | letter continued, “that many of the heads of the agencies proposed o viewed, or nnen but little oppor- tunity, and in some cases none at all, as ty the scope of their opera- tions, which requires much confer- ence with other Governmental de- partments before any action can be taken.” Russian __(Continued From First Page.) | Moscow dispatch saying railway communication between Moscow and the Don River port of Rostov had been re-established.

Until March 31 the use of lead for these items must be restricted to 50 per cent of the amount used in either the third or fourth quarters of 1941. Most other users of lead are re- stricted, by quarters, to 90 per cent of the amount used in either the | defense matters, shipping or weather third or fourth periods of 1941. No restrictions were placed on | the use of lead in electroplating processes, treatment of steel, bear- ings and washers, fire-fighting | equipment, electrotyping, glass for | optical and scientific purposes, | X-ray equipment or for use in plants | where corrosion makes it necessary.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 10—Down in a cold, snowy valley 20 miles from this steel metropolis an elderly pub- lic accountant wept bitterly today over the loss of half his beloved col- lection of animals—ironically vic- tims of his kindly attempt to keep them warm in subzero weather. The grief of 60-year-old Dr. Henry Schoolberg knew no bounds.

MEADE, Md,, Jan. 10—There is a Japan-born recruit at Fort Meade, but there is no doubt about his patriotism—his father is Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles. Benjamin Welles is now at the recruit reception center, awaiting transfer to an Army umit. Due to be drafted next spring, he had planned to volunteer before being called. But when the war broke December 7, he made im- mediate plans to leave Central America where he was reporting for the New York Times. He returned to the United States, spent the Christmas holidays with his family in Washington, and en- listed there January 2. He was born In 1916 in the United States Embassy in Tokio where his father was third seoretary. He left as an infant and never returned. He speakes no Japanese but does | speak French and German, having traveled extensively. As he puts it, he practically grew up in Argentina. Mr. Welles could have had a commission because he is a Harvard graduate. But, he said, he wanted to start as a private because he had found he learned the news- paper business a good deal better by starting as a copy boy.
