The senate finance committee held the measure open, how ever, for a few more changes on Monday before turning it over to legislative draftsmen to be whipped into shape for the start of debate. Besides the $7,100,000,000 in permanent revenue, provisions for a partially refundable new "victory" tax on individuals and a post-war credit for corpor ations will bring in additional treasury receipts of $1,900,000, 000, which eventually will be re paid to the taxpayers. Committee action has been completed on the corporation and individual income tax rates, which with other levies proposed in the measure and existing tax laws, will take about $25,000, 000,000 of 'he nation's income next year to finance war expen ditures estimated at $100,000, 000,000 for the same period.

J $2.00 Soldiers of the Press ' jm I ' . j.'.A while eov.nB . lhe ,ei.n. e M "Calibre pls SHOULDER to shoulder vith the fighting men on the war fronts of the world go the correspondents of the American press. You will find them peering down from the bellies of bombers over New Guinea or Hamburg, scanning the swirling actions in Egypt from the scant cover of foxholes or from within baking, bruising tanks. You will find them on the bridges and sky-controls of cruisers and carriers off Midway and Wake and Malta as the enemy torpedo planes swoop. You will find them plodding through the steaming tangle of Burmese jungles, or sharing a look out's watch aboard a convoy ship heading blindly through the Arctic dark for Murmansk. With the troops and crews and squadrons the correspon dents face every hazard of war: gun-fire and capture and pestilence, hardship and tension and tedium. They face these things at the risk and sometimes at the sacrifice of their lives and their freedom. They face them stead- fastly, undramatically, like soldiers like the soldier that they are. For while they must remain wholly aloof from any mili tary part at the front, they are none the less fighters for the principles and for the needs of their country. They are chancing all they have and doing all they can to report to their country the truth. For it people to know the truth is a birthright implicit in the nation's democratic ideal, a birthright which today is a necessity. With all the world tumult and confusion, we here must know the truth clearly, completely, quickly in order to plan and to act effectively for victory. Pictured here are a representative few of that unarmed army of men whose dispatches bring us the truth. Te them and their legion of associates in their own and kindred world-news services, to the soldiers of the press, the American war correspondents, this advertisement ii a salute.
