House Approves
75% Excess Profits
Tax Bill
WASHINGTON, (/P) — A huge
excess profits tax bill bearing a
378-20 House approval faced the
prospect today of major opera
tions in the Senate.
Senator George (D.-Ga.), chair
man of the tax-writing Senate fi
nance committee, predicted some
drastic changes for the measure
in the Senate, but he voiced con
fidence that Congress will send
the measure to President Truman
before the New Year.
Lopsided House passage came
late yesterday. The real test came
on a Republican effort to substi
tute a GOP-drafted tax bill for
that being pushed by the admin
istration. Voting on party lines,
the House beat down the GOP
version 252 to 145.
The 20 who voted “no” on final
passage were all Republicans.
The House bill would impose a
75% tax on corporation profits
which exceed 85% of the average
earnings in the three best of the
four years 1946 through 1949. The
levy would apply to earnings

Route Could Carry
Troops to Hit Russ
—
BUFFALO, N. Y. (/P)—Sir Hu
bert Wilkins says submarines
traveling under the Arctic Ocean
can carry American troops within
striking distance of Russian in
dustrial centers.
The Arctic explorer, in a film
illustrated talk before the Cen
tral Park Methodist Church Men’s
Club recently, said:
“The potential of using the Arc
tic as an underwater route to Rus
; sia is great. By any other ap
proach foort soldiers would have
to go overland about 30 miles in
Arctic conditions.”

are these:
“Underground shelters, ships,
basements and slit trenches give
good protection. Lie close to wall
out of line from possible flying
debris. Keep head covered and
avoid exposure of bare skin.
Never stand in open. Fall flat if
no protection is available.”
“Thousands of lives can be
saved by prompt aid. Help save
lives by helping others. By the
time the debris has stopped tail
ing there is no radiation hazard.”
“The war won’t be over. Get
back to work and be ready for
orders and instructions (usually
General Quarters ot air raid
alert instruction.)”
“Don’t panic and don’t spread
rumors.”
The card also summarizes the
effects of an air-burst a-bomb,
telling what it can do to the hu
man body by blast, heat and ra
diation.
