Promises There Be
No New Taxes
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (JP) —
Secretary of the Treasury Mor
genthau told business men that
they not only need not worry
t about new taxes but may hope
for improvements and that the
present taxes will help business
i in expanding. On endorsing Presi
I dent Roosevelt’s statement that
at last business men need fear
no new taxes, the Treasury head
said: “I sincerely hope that Con
gress will take a careful look
at tax laws to see if there are
any deterrents holding back
business and businessmen from j
making further committments. I
| think the business man ought to
feel that the administration
wants him to go ahead and take
normal business risks and make
money.”
Morgenthau said definitely
that no tax proposals except the
, re-enactment of the expiring ex
cise taxes and a possible measure
to raise approximately two hun
dred million for farm benefits,
were brought to his attention.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 <JP)—
! The navy’s proposal to spend
| $11,650,000 for developing air
; bases at Kodiak and Sitka re
i ceived House approval. Author
j ization was contained in the navy
shore station bill which the
House passed and sent to the
Senate.
The Department plans to
spend $8,750,000 at Kodiak and
$2,900,000 at Sitka.
Officials said the Kodiak base
would be provided with many
features of a major air station,
with permanent facilities estab
lished for the training of two
patrol squadrons. Sitka would
serve primarily as an intermed
iate station between continental
United States and Alaska posts.
Permanent facilities however,
are already available for one
patrol squadron.'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 </P)—
The House passed and sent to
the Senate the $40,800,000 naval
air base bill after stripping it of
the controversial proposal to es- j
tablish a base for navy scouting
planes at Guam. The final pass
age of the measure, which is an
integral part of the President’s
emergency defense program,
came after the House confirmed
by roll call the vote of 205 to
168.
An earlier vote on the elimin
ation of the $500,000,000 Guam
project for final passage result
ed in a standing vote of 368 to 4.
After a three days stormy debate
the House adopted the amend
ment of Rep. Sutphin to strike
out the Guam item.
Rep. Magnusson told the House
that if the United States backed
down on the scheduled improve
ments to Guam, Japan would
“herald throughout the far east”
that this country is “afraid to
dredge out the harbor” fox fear
of Japanese government pro
tests.
