Committee Rejects Proposal on Post Wor Tax Credits WASHINGTON, June IS UP) The bouse ways and means com mittee, although it has adopted the principle of post-war tax credits to corporations, never theless rejected today the first such specific proposal to come to a vote. Neither Chairman Doughton (D-N.C.) nor Representative Coo per (D-Tenn.) would divulge de tails of the rejected plan, and Cooper told newsmen who sought an expiation of it, "it is too complicated for me to give." The committee tentatively has decided to boost corporation ex cess profits rates from the pres ent graduated scale ranging up to 60 per cent to a flat 94 per cent. Administration leaders have pleaded for a reduction in that figure, or at least a pro vision that part of the taxes be held as a reserve against post war conversion needs.

Net Clever The Japanese are not very clever about bombing," he told a press conference. "If they had a good bombsight and could use it they would be better off. They are using an electrical automatic optical bombsight similar to one I saw in Germany in 1938. It is not particularly accurate. A formation of 18 heavy bom bers, escorted by fighters, was reported by General Douglas MacArthur's headquarters to have unsuccessfully attacked the harbor area of Port Moresby yes terday, damaging one small ship." "Our interceptors destroyed one zero fighter and two bombers," the communique said. "We lost two planes in combat." Hamm Disposes Of Interest, in Bottling Company E. B.

Important political aspects also were pointed out. From the domestic standpoint, if British reverses in the middle east con tinue, the Churchill government might find itself in the same disfavor as after the fall of Sin gapore. In addition, it was said, the prime minister must consider American opinion, which invari ably suffers an anti-British turn with every British reverse, and remaining neutrals such as Tur key and Sweden which are rta- tegically situated.
