Some of the questions were a lit- | tle involved, necessitating long-dis-, tance phone calls back to Indian-|

He finally came out with a B-2 rating and will get the shovels this September when theyre needed. | His trip cost his company between $300 and $400 and took two whole weeks of stewing around in Vashington.

In the Rocky Mountain country they call him “the hermit of Arbor Villa,” Villa being the town where he spends his time when not prospecting. Wearing high leather boots, denim shirt, dungarees, a battered felt hat and a fine crop of whiskers
hair, Gimlett stomped into a midtown hotel yesterday and started talking. He carried a 60-pound gold digger’s pack just in case he s0 should spot a likely-looking ledge in the canyons of Manhattan. Gimlett said he had been looking for gold and the right woman all his life but had found only the former. The “ideal woman,” he added, is “harder to find than pay dirt.”

‘Oil for Britain
DALLAS Tex. Aug. 18 (U. P).— Yesterday was “Oil for Britain Day"
less than the 2,000,000 barrels for which state officials had hoped. The Texas Railroad Commission, which governs the state's oil industry, meets today to determine the size of the gift, and, possibly to set another “Oil for Britain Day.” The gift would have been 2,000,000 barrels had every well in the state donated the day's production, but reports indicated that more wells were idle than flowing. It was doubted that the gift could leave Texas until the question of its legality could be established, and presentation of the oil to President Roosevelt, who will give it to Great Britain, was indefinitely postponed. Under the Railroad Commission's August production order, yesterday

U.S. REGORD SET IN TAX INGOME
Senate Committee Resumes! Study on New Bills. to Increase Levies.
WASHINGTON; Aug. 18 (U. P). ~The Senate Finance Committee resumed hearings on the nation’s largest tax bill today as the Treasury announced that tax collections totaling $7.370,108377 during the 1941 fiscal year set a peace-time record. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Guy T. Helvering said that collections were $1,711,443,577 above the previous high of $5,658,765,000 established in 1938 and $2,030,656,031 above fiscal 1940. Income taxes totaling $3,269,643,117 accounted for the largest single portion of the collection. They showed an increase of 55.5 per cent above the $2,102,598926 collected during the preceding 12 months. Corporation taxes netted $1,851,078, 990 and individual returns produced $1,417,655,126. The increase of the former over fiscal 1940 was 65.3 per cent, while the latter were 44 4 per cent greater. Indiana's total internal revenue collections for the year were $176,116,473.12. Meanwhile, the Finance Committee awaited Terasury recommendations for a “community property” tax and broadening of the tax base by lowering income exemptions. Joint Return Substitute Committee Chairman Walter F. George (D. Ala.) said that the Treasury might bring the two proposals before the committee early this week. Their enactment, he said, would necessitate a downward revision of individual income tax rates. The ‘community property” tax, he said, would probably bear some resemblance to the controversial joint return provision deleted by the House. However, he explained, it
from property held in common and not to income received in the form of salaries. Senator George said that a Chamber of Commerce proposal for a “withholding tax"—in effect a payroll—could bet termed a “very good tax in principle” but one which might prove difficult to apply because farmers and self-employed people do not receive their income in the form of weekly wages.
Fears Undue Burden
get enough revenue to make i (worthwhile after certain reasonable (deductions that would have to be allowed, " he said, “To farmers and [those who are self-employed it would be a very burdensome tax] aside from the question of the money burden.” A desirable feature of the proposal, he said, would be its “antiinflationary” effect. The Committee resumes its hearings on the $3,200,000,000 tax bill with Edward A. O'Neal of the American Far Bureau Federation as the vrincipal witness. Senator George said the hearings would probably continue for the remainder of the week.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (U. P.). —The Commerce Department announced today that exports for the first six months this year totaled $2,093,366,000, exceeding imports by $499,195,000. Exports in the first six months increased only 1.4 per cent over the value for the corresponding months last year. Import trade, on the other hand, increased 23 per cent. June exports totaled $337,745,000, as compared with imports of $279,536,000. Trade that month showed a decline both in volume and value from the levels of the months immediately preceding.

ments during recent months was the increase in exports of foodstuffs. During June,. substantial shipments of meat, dairy products {and eggs under the Lease-Lend plan were largely responsible for the increase in exports of manufactured foodstuffs to a value of $28,000,000, highest monthly total since November, 1930. In the first six months, aircraft shipments, amounting to $284,000,000, constituted the bangest single export category.
