By JAMES M. HASWELL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan, 21~1f congress cuts the income taxes, what will it mean to me? That's the jackpot question millions of Americans

are asking.

Nobody, knows exactly how congress is going to cut the taxes. There

can't be any precise answers yet,

But a range of possibilities can be outlined, and taxpayers can know

Secret Ballot Asked in Strikes

Case Says Many Union Men Want ‘Protection’

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (U, P)). —Rep. Francis Case (R. 8, D.) said today he has received many letters

from C. I. O. and A. F'.-L. members “pleading for the protection” of a strike votes are taken, “Many of these men tell me that they were compelled to vote in favor of a strike because the vote was taken in an open meeting. They said they were afraid to go against the wishes of their leaders,” Mr. Case said, He opened his fille of correspondence on labor legislation to explain a secret strike ballot provision in his strike control bill. He said he had included it because “so many union members asked for a. themselves.” Majority Only Fractional A secret strike ballot law might have prevented many major strikes in the past, he said. He cited the General Motors strike of last year in which he said “the majority in favor of a strike was only frac tional.” (Strike votes taken under provisions of the Smith-Connally dct during the war were conducted secretly by the national labor relations board). Mr. Case cited one-letter from a union member who said that the strike issue was. brought before an open meeting by his union leader. This official, the member said, listed all the reasons for a strike and Shes asked anyone opposed to také! platform. = Brass Band Played

ir | Possible Income Tax

Indicated

ersonal Exemptions

what the congressmen are talking about up on. “the hill.” There are two approaches. One is to cut the rates of taxa~ tion, The other is to increase the exemptions from taxation, The first proposal heard in congress is to cut the rates of individual income faxes 20 per cent, Let's examine that. In 1042, the last year for which the government has complete figures, Americans paid individual income taxes. In 1047 at present rates the government expects to collect $19 billion in individual income taxes. A 20 per cent cut in the rate would mean a $3,500,000,000 to $4,000,000,000 savings. Who would get the savings, and how much? About 115 per cent of the 16 million in 1942 paid on incomes ranging from $3000 to $10,000. One more assumption. The average American taxpayer who supports a family has a wife and two children. : How Horizontal Cuf Would Work Now we're ready to go— Mr. $3000 pays $137 income taxes now, and would save $27. Mr, $5000 pays $480 taxes now and would save $06. Mr, $10,000 (call it $8000 net income) pays $1202 now and would save $428 by a 20 per cent cut. Just for contrast, Mr, $100,000 pays $62,301 taxes now and would save $12,420, Two protests are heard. This and it helps the rich man too much. Those 1942 returns showed fewer than 2500 Americans had incomes

the 2500 paid 147 per cent of the taxes. This means the total saving to this group under the 20 per cent rate cut could be about $52,500,000 of the proposed $3,500,000,000. Exemptions Could Be Raised Now the other side of the story. If congress should make the $3,500,-

emptions, it would mean . (roughly) doubling them,

The present exemptions are $500!

Britain, Russia Far Out in- Front

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (U. P).— Britain and Russia, each of which makes all its scientists work together as a “national team,” have gained a big lead over the United States in the race for development of air power, William B. Courtney, correspondent of Col-

Moreover, Mr. Courtney said in

atomic scientists “are not only as up to date as Americans in atomic research, but are now conducting fission experiments with . elements infinitely more powerful than uranjum.” He added, however, that the Russians do not yet have the “engineering measurements” for building the atom bomb. In aviation, he said, Britain, with an eye to future domination of world commercial air routes, leads the U. 8. in development of turbojets and propeller-turbine engines, while Russia is in the forefront in long-range guided air weapons — “the weapons of the polar front.”

British Flooded Market

Mr. Courtney charged that the British, by flooding the American aviation industry during the war with demands for planes and engines of conventional types, intentionally made it possible for their scientists to develop plans “for luxurious and huge airliners of five years post-war-—designed for pro-peller-turbine engines.”
