U.S. SHOOTING IS HOPE OF BRITISH
Held vital | tor. Victory: This Fall Will Be . Crucial Time.
By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN
Copyri The Chicago Daily News. Inc
LONDON. June 18.—With the United States apparently balancing right on the brink of war and Sov-fet-German relations in the balance, the late summer of 1941 now promises to produce the most dramatic and perhaps the most crucial events of the entire war.
It is now believed by the average|
Britisher that the United States
will come into the war in the very very near future and that belief has cheered up the population as nothing else that has happened since September, 1939. ~The average man now believes American intervention necessary to victory and he feels, at the same time, that an American declaration of war would really seal the final issue. Churchill's Broadcast
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
said ‘as much in his broadcast to|
the United States this week, when he virtually asked for an American declaration of war, ' It was the first time since the war began that he felt both justified and compelled to " tell the American people what ‘he, at least, has felt to be the truth for: the last 10 months. It - is certain that Mr. Churchill would not have done so unless he were sure, first, that actual American intervention was necessary and, second, that the American people
had moved far enough to be told
the. full truth. American action may have a di- . Yect bearing on what happens in Eastern Europe. If the declaration of war is delayed, Hitler might try to prevent it by staging an impresgive victory over the Red Army and “the Red menace.” It might also seem desirable to Hitler to rid himself of any threat from the east and to acquire fresh resources by smashing the Russians before the United States brought, its full force to bear on*him in the west. °°
Expect Blow at Russia
Even though the United States were to intervene before the German attack on Russia, Hitler might feel that he had time to clear up the Russian situation before the ynited Allied forces could develop their full striking power. London still séems to believe that Hitler will strike at Russia or will ing such concessions from Russia Sian Germany would virtually occupy the Ukraine. There is still a great difference of opinion, however, as to whether or not he is primarily intetested in having a real military victory over communism and Dic-etator-Premier Josef V. Stalin, or whether - he only wants complete economic collaboration, and a measure of control over the Ukraine. The answer will come only if, and when Hitler puts his demands to Russia and, if and when action begins. :

SLOGANS SWELL GIFTS OF METAL
Old Utensils to Help ‘Build A Bomber’; National Drive Scheduled.
By TIM TIPPETT
Irvington heard there was an Slumisum shortage facing the naon
Now Irvington residents just didn’t say “tch! Ichi” and Sismiss the problem. -
Their solution stands for all of Indianapolis to see on the northeast corner of Arlington Ave. and 10th St. The solution is a fenced- in enclosure with signs inviting Mr. and Mrs. Indianapolis to deposit all their old aluminum utensils there to “Build a Bombef.” One of the signs, sure to garner many a stray pot or pan is the one in bright red letters telling passersby: “THIS ALUMINUM MAY BUILD THE PLANE THAT STOPS
Donation Pile Grows
Already the enclosure. is showing a good harvest. Dishpans, meat grinders, washboards and several coffee percolators are perched on a growing pile of the now precious metal. Dr. F. C. Smith, one of the businessmen in that area who is behind the collect-aluminum project, already has conferred with the F. B. I. and has written, on their advice, to Washington telling them of the growing aluminum - deposit in Indianapolis. A nation-wide plan, formulated by the OPM and the Office. of Civilian Defense, for the collection of aluminum is scheduled to start July 14. A broadcasting and advertising campaign will be initiated near the end of June, or early in July with the actual pickup drive .to begin July 14. The scrap. will be collected in hamlets, villages, towns and cities fand moved to points where it can be sold to smelters who have been licensed by Priorities Director Edward R. Stettinius. No decision has been made regarding disposal of the funds, but it is believed that they will be used for some form of home defense ac-
tivity. Wisconsin Started It
Harold Wurster, Arlington and 10th St., corner druggist, conceived the idea here and it was adopted immediately by other businessmen in the area. The land was donated by George Guidone, and the’ Ballard Ice Cream Co., donated the signs. This is not’ the first such venture in America. Wisconsin is credited with the first collection of: old aluminum and others have been reported elsewhere. Mr. Wurster and his friends don’t want the credit for having the first aluminum collection in the United States—they want the credit for
1 the largest collection.

House Committee = Fixes Corporations’ Costs For Defense.
WASHINGTON, June 18° . P). —Corporations will pay $1,255,200, |
tional defense taxes in the new revenue program according to plans of the House Ways ang
The excess, profits tax will be increased to yield $1,118,400,000 more than at present, committee members said today. The new corporation surtax of six per cent.is expected to yield $651,600,000. The income from these two levies will total $1,770,000,000. However, tax experts advised the committee that these tax increases would be offset by reductions in the normal return from the 24 per cent corporation income tax, and should be deducted from the total revenue to offset the shrinkage of normal taxes. That would leave a net additional revenue’ of $1,255,200,000.
Figure Profits First
In devising the excess profits tax’ to raise $1,118,400,000 more than ‘it currently yields, the committee’ turned back to a World War device. Instead of -allowing the taxpayer corporation to deduct, in computing excess profits, the normal Federal taxes paid, thus reducing the volume of profits, the committee has tentatively decided to require computation of profits before|; taxes: paid. This device would compel corporations to figure into their profits, in determining excess profits, the amount of money paid out as normal Federal income taxes at a 24 per cent rate.
