To Place Base at

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-.Striving
to increase the record-breaking $3,-
280,7.00,000 house approved tax blU
still further, the senate finance com
mittee voted today to raise an esti-
mated $350,000,000 of additional rev-

base and changing the existing law
governing the so-called "community
property” returns.
The base-broadening proposal, ap-
proved 10 td fi, would lower- e'xhjHing
income exemptions froju $2,000 to
$1,500 for married persons and from
$800 to $750 for single Individuals;
The plan would bring approximate-
ly 7,000,000 additional persons under
the federal income tax structure and
would raise an additional $300,000,000
annually, congressional tax experts
estimated. Chairman George (D-, da.)

CHICAGO, Ill , Aug. 26—A com
munlty plan designed to aid Small
Illinois manufacturers in ,obtaining
defense business was announced Mori
day by the Illinois ijtate Council of
Defense.
Fourteen Industrial concerns of the
Decatur, III., area put aside their
own competition and banded to gether
to bid on national defense Jobs and
spread any work obtained among
themselves. •
The companies . included sheet
metal works, foundries, brass works,
welders and fabricators of light and
heavy steel. Together they can bid on
a great variety of defense metal work
and tackle projects larger than any
single firm amom^iem could han-
dle. Executives iRfe concerns mtet
regularly to plan for tbe cooperative
efforts
A. F Shafter of tbe United States
Manufacturing Company initiated
the idea after a conference with Gov.
Dwight H Green, chairman of the
defense council.
i - and wife may divide their entire in-
come, eVen if it is earned by only
’one of them, and make separate re
turns. That procedure sometimes op-
erates to make the aggregate family
tax hili lower than it would be oth-
erwlse.
Under the proposal approved 13,to
5 by the finance committee. spbusVij
, in community property states would,
have to report as individuals all in-'
come eariied, <>r received in the form
of dividends. Thus, if a hurtMttt&
earned $10,000 and his wife had an Perts should attempt it. He said there

For the navy, the measure provid-
ed $294,528,000 for dozens of new
shore stations, $380,000,000 for ma-
terial for new ships, $369,000,000 to
build up material reserves and about
$260,000,000 for expansion of the
navy and marine corps personnel. ■

crowd of nearly 150 cattlemen and
others interested in 'Washington
Cbunty livestock- heard Dr. Rob-
ert F... Chappell of (Navasota,
member of the state livestock sani-
tary commisi|iou, advise against any
precipitate action to prevent the
spread of anthrax into this county,
at the city hall Saturday night.
Dr. Chappell reported to the Bren-
ham meeting that many of the cattle
dying in the area south of here are
being lost through vaccination im-
properly done;. that cattlemen seek-
ing to immunize their herds against
the disease are in fact infecting them
through use of the serums made of
-live germs. ...

year to vaccinate, and that only ex-
