WAR STAMPS AS

CHANGE URGED!

‘Retailers for Victory’ Clinic Maps Campaign Among Shoppers. CHICAGO, May 4 (U. P)—A

thousand retailers and sales people | from the central sector of the na- % tion worked together today to find |fy . new ways of getting purchasers of |’

; groceries, drugs, cigarets and baseball tickets to take more change

than is coming /to them during:

1942.

_ And there's no catch in the “long|#}

change” idea. The purchaser takes the correct amount of change in war savings stamps. When he has $18/75 worth of stamps, he can buy a8 $25 war bond. On maturity of the bond, the “long change” equals $6.25.

Speakers at Clinic

This was the idea behind the U. 8. treasury’s second big “retailers for victory” clinic which opened here today with 44 speakers, including federal government officials and state war savings committee chairman and leading merchants from Minnesota to Texas. Maj. Benjamin H. Namm, New York, department store owner and director of the treasury’s national retail advisory committee, opened the clinic with an explanation of the new drive to get retail buyers to take part of their change in war savings stamps. “A million merchants of America —ranging from the largest emporium to the smallest country store—have pledged themselves to sell a billion dollars worth of war savings stamps and bonds during the current year,” he said.

Smiles With Stamps Urged

“They will promote these ’securities for survival’ the hard and last way. Not by using premiums, tradestimulators or ‘gifts-with-the-pur-‘chase’ etc., but by enlisting, through daily “solicitation, the whole-hearted support of the great American public.” Sandwiched in among the many “pep talks” from state representatives from Colorado: through Ohio, were talks on “I-sell-war-stamps-girls,” how to get the job done with a pretty smile, and the baseball angle from President Branch Rickey of the St. Louis Cardinals.

U. S. WAR DEAD AT LEAST 3395

Army Lists 121 Soldiers Known Killed in Battle Of Philippines.

WASHINGTON, May 4 (U. P.).— The war department, in its first official listing of American dead in the Philippines, today announced the names of 121 U, S. soldiers who were killed| in action or died of wounds there, : The casualties included 30 officers and 91 enlisted men and brought to 404 the total of announced army dead in this war.

Previous war department announcements concerned men killed in the Dec. 7 attack on Hawaii, in the Netherlands East Indies and in or near northern Australia, Coupled with the week-end navy announcement that 2991 bluejackets, marines and’ coast guardsmen lst their lives in the period from Dec. 7 to April 15, the known total of U. S. war dead in the present conflict now stands at 3395. The war department emphasized that the list of American soldiers who met death in the Philippines is incomplete and that names of additional men whe were killed there will be made public from time to time. It was not known how. many of those listed as killed in the Philippines lost their| lives on Bataan. On April 17, the war department reported that 35,000 U. S. 4nd Filipino troops, in addition to 25,000 civilians and several thousand noncombatants in the military service, were presumed to be. in Japanese hands on Bataan. None of the officers ‘isted was above the rank of captain. One of them was Air Corps Capt, Colin P. Kelly Jr., the army's first hero of the war, who was Killed after sinking a Japancse battleship.

0. K. TAX BOOST

ON SMALL FIRMS

House Committee Acts on ~ Corporations Earning $25,000 or Less.

WASHINGTON, May 4 (U. PJ). —The house ways and means commiitee today voted to increase the surtax on small corporations— those earning $25,000 or less—from 6 to 10 per cent. The action was in line with an increase in the surtax on big corporations from 7 to 16 per cent, approved by the committee last week. A surtax is paid by a corporation on ali of its net taxable income, plus any income it might derive from sources not subject to normal income taxes, such as government bonds. The committee also voted to retain the declared value ' capital stock and excess profits taxes but to revise: these levies so that corporations need declare their capitalization for only one instead of three years in advance. Adds 212 Billions The decisions of the committee on corporation taxes so far would increase the treasury’s revenue from business by $2,490,400,000. The declared value capital stock and excess profits tax has no relation to the regular excess profits tax. The treasury sought repeal of the declared value taxes this year in the face of a request for $7,600,000,000 in additional war revenue. The committee decided to retain it for ifs revenue, even tnough the action in reducing declarations from three to one year will decrease the yield from $140,000,000 to $70,000,000.
