Agreement Nears on Post War Rebate Tax System
A joint congressional committee nears agreement on a new and untried postwar tax plan designed to raise 1.75 billion annually. It includes a 5 percent levy on individual earnings above 624 dollars yearly and changes to corporate rates, with a postwar rebate to cushion the impact. The plan ties the rebate to the victory tax, offering credits for single and married filers and dependents, while allowing bonds or certificates to be issued if credits exceed payments.

Two Hunters Arrested as Season Opens in Lenawee
Opening day in Lenawee county ended badly for two Wayne county hunters. William Brown of Lincoln Park pleaded guilty to hunting before during the 6 oclock deadline and failing to wear a license tag. Obie Steyers of Detroit faced charges for transporting a loaded gun in a car. Each faced a $10 fine and costs totaling $7.20 or 30 days. Steyers paid, Brown hinted at payment plans. The day yielded only one shot at a pheasant, which missed. The wet conditions kept many home, while pheasants remained plentiful but hard to flush due to dense cover from heavy summer vegetation. Early reports noted pheasants were less wary, but cover limited kills.
