strength, President Roosevelt, in.a drive against possible Fifth Column treachery, has asked Congress to ‘appropriate an additional $6,558,800 for the Justice Department for the fiscal year 1941. Of that total, $3,358,000 would go to the FBI and $1, 515,000 to the Border Patrol. A House Appropriations Subcommittee begins hearings on the request today. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was expected to be the first witness and was prepared to tell Congressmen that {the present personnel of the FBI | is not adequate to cope with present demands.” The- supplemental appropriation would allow: the FBI to add another 300 G-Men to its: force which, bezinning July 1, ‘will ‘number about

{on single persons to $800, and the

$2500 exemption for married per-

of $400 per dependent would remain unchanged. Subcommittee Chairman Jere Cooper (D. -Tenn.), explained that by this method, according to the estimates of tax experts, the Government would get an additional $75,000,000 a year. Since the pending bill already provides a 10 per cent super tax on incomes, the broadening of the base automatically would produce another $7, 500,000, making a total of $32,500,000.
