VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper Senate Committee Votes an Increase In Income Taxes WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate Finance committee today approved an annual increase of about $3,000,000,000 in personal income taxes. The bill authorizes the government to begin digging deeper into the pockets of over 50,000,000 taxpayers on October 1. At the same time, the committee instructed its staff to draw up an exemption which would have the effect of removing taxes from members of American fighting forces below the commissioned officer rank in Korea and other areas of hostilities. Some exemption also would apply to officer personnel. If the Senate and House approve the tax bill, as they are expected to do, the tax obligations of in- H. E.

Some exemption also would apply to officer personnel. If the Senate and House approve the tax bill, as they are expected to do, the tax obligations of individuals will go up as much as 20 per cent in some income brackets. Beginning October 1, withholdings on wages and salaries, after personal exemptions, would jump from the present 15 per cent to 18 per cent. For Korean War The committee action completed its approval of the major items in President Truman's first installment" $5,000,000,000 tax program intended to help pay for the Korean war and America's rearmament against communist aggression. The tax framing group yesterday okayed a $1,500,000,000 a year increase in corporation taxes, raising the levy on corporate income from 38 per cent to 45, effective as of July 1, 1950. The higher tax rates will apply on half of 1950 corporate income, but only to ¼ of 1950 individual income. All told, the committee now has approved items aggregating about $4,500,000,000 of the president's $5,000,000,000 request. It has yet to act on several minor items, and possibly on an excess profits tax proposal for corporations. The committee action to take taxes off GI's in areas of hostility expanded the tax bill into a field the president did not touch on in his tax message to Congress. Details of military exemption plan have not been worked out, but the committee said withholding from pay should not continue on men in the area of hostilities.

Added importance is g VA Rules State’s Colleges Owe One Million to Gov’t SACRAMENTO (P)c—A Veterans Administration ruling me cost California state colleges and universities well over $1,000,000. The VA has announced it will not approve payment of student body fees for veterans attending state institutions under the Bill of Rights. The ruling is retroactive. StaEducation Department officials said today this means the college will have to return all student body fees paid by the federal government since the 1946-school year.

The committee said that it finds the task complicated by inability of the Joint Outfall System to handle any further supply of effluent processed through the Waste Water Disposal Co., Fullerton, which handles wastes from the oil fields of northern Orange county. The JOS recently notified the Waste Water Disposal Co. that it cannot receive any more effluent from the oil fields until expansion of the main trunk system by proposed construction of the new Magnolia-Cannery trunk.

Malik today demanded an immediate Security Council vote on his proposal to invite representatives of both North and South Korea to take part in United Nations debate. Malik's move seemed an effort to steer the council debate back to the procedural wrangling which has stalemated its work for the past 10 days. The non-communist countries have insisted the North Korean authorities are Soviet puppets and that the U.N. should not deal with them until they have returned north of the 38th Parallel. The non-communist countries were ready to go ahead with a (Continued on Page 5) CALL NAVY RESERVES SAN DIEGO (UP)—Recall to active duty of 300 Naval reservists to help remove moth-balled war vessels from the local reserve fleet was announced today by the Navy.

Appointed to this committee were Pastor R. F. Stief, Mr. J. Schluntz, Mr. Henry Schimming, Miss Marian Rasmussen, Mr. Howard Olsen, Mr. Frank Mauerhan and Mr. D. Martens. This committee has already met and is carrying out its assigned duties. Lack of size was one of the major reasons given for taking this action. The general feeling is that a church site should be large enough so as to provide for recreational facilities for the youth, adequate landscaping of the church, as well as for off-street parking for those coming to church. "With this practically unanimous vote, we are sure that Grace Lutheran will go ahead with their relocation and church building program with even greater zeal than ever before," declares Art Michel, president of the congregation.
