Delay Action On
Income Tax Bill
•
WASHINGTON, (A3) — Sen ate
Democrats began lining up Tues
day behind a movement to delay
action on the proposed $4,000,000,
000 income tax cut until mid
June.
By that time, they contend, Con
gress should have a much metter
idea of what economies it can ef
fect in President Truman’s $37,
500,000,000 budget for the fiscal
year which starts July 1.
With most of the 44 Democratic
Senators not sold on the idea of
cutting taxes until the probable
surplus can be computed, only a
few Republican votes would have
to be pulled over to achieve the
postponement.
No Vacation Pay
For Vet Students
WASHINGTON, (/P>—'The Vet
erans Administration said Tues
day that war veterans attending
school under the GI bill may not
use unemployment allowances as
summer vacation pay between
school terms.
The agency said only veterans
actively seeking and willing to
take any suitable work may legal
ly accept the allowance. Even
then, the veteran is not eligible
for unemployment pay during any
period for which he receives sub
sistence allowances under the ed
ucation and training provisions of
the GI bill.
Schacht Sentenced
To Eight Years
STUTTGART, (/P> — Hjalmar
Schacht, German financial wizard
who was cleared of war crimes
charges by the international mili
tary tribunal at Nuernberg seven
months ago, was convicted as a
major Nazi offender by a German
denazification court Tuesday and
sentenced to eight yeaVs imprison
ment.
The verdict was announced by
court president Fritz Lenz in a
packed courtroom in the com
munity singing hall where the
former Nazi finance minister and
Reichsbank president has been on
trial for six weeks. The 70-year
old Schacht heard the verdict in
stunned silence, his face drawn
and white.
The court ordered the confisca
tion of all of Schacht’s remaining
personal fortune—officially estim
ated at 1,190,000 marks ($119,000)
—except for 10,000 reichsmarks.
