American repatriates from Manila with whom I renewed acquaintance aboard the Gripsholm en route home from the Orient, said Filipinos had been executed for “failure to co-operate with Japan’s new order,” and a smuggled copy of the Manila Tribune reported 18 natives sentenced to death ~ for cutting a military communications line. “The malicious act of this group is proof that there gtill are groups of Filipinos who don’t understand the real

—A spokesman for the U. 8. Cham-| ‘ber of Commerce warned the senate|
finance committee today that unless the inflation threat is met
squarely there will be “perhaps al: minimum of 50 per cent increase in|
living costs.” Presenting a $12,000,000,000 new
revenue program on behalf of the| wp Chamber
, Ellsworth C. Alvord, head of its committee on federal finance, detlared that “a fiscal program based upon politics is as doomed as a war program based upon appeasement.” The total he proposed would be nearly double that of the houseapproved bill. The Chamber's’ program included a 10 per cent retail sales tax and a 5 per cent: withholding income tax. A plea by Mr. Alvord that business not be taxed out of existence received a measure of support from an American Federation of Labor spokesman, ‘who urged rejection of any taxes which would hinder or
{restrict business acivity “and the
employment of la A. F.of L. opposition to the busi-
