Treasury Plan For Tax Boost Hits Incomes (Continued from Page One) tha normal tax on Incomes at 4.4 per cent (4 per cent basic rate plus a 10 per cent defense levy applied to that tax) and add an 11 per cent surtax on the first $2000 of taxable in come. (The ways and means com mittee is considering a number of alternative tax methods). No surtaxes now are levied on less than $4000 of taxable income. Taxable income is that remaining after reductions for self and dependents and for such things as losses, church contributions and the like. To the present corporation in come tax of 24 per cent, a draft of treasury proposals showed a six per cent surtax would be added. Excess profits taxes, it was said, would become stiffer. The surtaxes on individual incomes would run as high as 75 per cent on income above $5,000,000, the same as at pres ent, and would be increased most in the lower and middle brackets. A summary of the income tax plan, prepared by the depart ments division of tax research, showed that a childless married couple with earned income of $2500 would pay $72 on 1941 income as opposed to $11 un der existing rates. The summary indicated that the 10 per cent exemption now allowed on earned income up to $14,000 would continue to apply for purposes of the nor malor basic tax but not to the surtaxes. In some cities autos are al most as thick during the rush hours as the heads of some of the drivers. Picture framing. Collier's. 230 Main. Phona 6704.

T SPEAKS FOR ACTIVE BRITISH AID LONDON. April 22 OP) The United States ambassador to London, John G. Wlnant, told the American chamber of com merce today that "we ara not concerned with words wa ara determined to help (Britain) by action to insure total victory over totalitarian aggression." He said that between Ameri cans and "the Ire and uncon querable people of this Island" there existed "a bond of com mon sympathy and understand ing, of common purposo and de votion which will live on long after nazi tyranny has been broken and destroyed." Wlnant declared that Ameri can business men and manufac turers residing In Britain could do much to "hasten the day of complete victory over nazi tyranny" by sharing their knowledge of production meth ods with British Industry. Machines and tools to make them, he said, are vital needs. This war has already dem onstrated the man-for-man su periority of the soldier of free dom over the soldier of oppres sion wherever there has not been an overwhelming inferior ity of mechanized equipment," he added. If we had applied' 10 years ago resolutely the policy of aid ing tho victim of aggression to defend himself we should not now be at war at all. Sir Nor man Angel I, Nobel Peace Prize winner of 1933.
