Family Heads To Benefit by Proposed Tax
Tax experts say the simplification plan from the Ways and Means Committee would raise income taxes for childless married couples but lower them for large families. Exemptions would be 500 for the taxpayer and 500 for each dependent, including a spouse. Tables show varying impacts by income and family size, with two dependent couples gaining and childless pairs losing modestly.

Bataan Survivor Charges Captive Yank Profiteered
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) A Bataan March of Death survivor accused an American lieutenant colonel known as the Pig of profiting from prisoners by handling materials for the Japanese. Cmdr. Melvin McCoy said the officer bought sugar for 40 pesos and sold it to prisoners for 695 pesos profit and allegedly edited canned goods from the Japanese by washing dishes. He also cited others charging up to 1900 percent markup on food and medical supplies, risking life for acts tied to the black market, with a warning that unless military dictates peace, Americans may again fight Japan.
