Tennessee Tuberculosis plan shifts main hospital site
Governor Cooper announced a major reshaping of the tuberculosis program. The East Tennessee Tuberculosis Hospital will be located in Knoxville with Knox County Beverly Hills Sanatorium contributing $50,000 in cash and a dairy herd, while Chattanooga would receive a $250,000 surgical unit if Chattanooga and Hamilton County appropriate at least $100,000 plus a site. The move follows a commission meeting in the Governor’s office with Hutcheson and other officials present.

House Committee Approves New Painless Tax Bill
The House Ways and Means Committee advanced a streamlined tax measure to simplify filing for 30 million individuals. It would overhaul withholding, apply a 10 percent base on certain income, and aim to reduce annual tax returns while keeping overall burdens near current levels. The plan, backed by Chairman Doughton, targets enactment before June recess if Congress agrees.

Allied invasion news to move directly to American public
The Office of War Information outlined steps to speed war news from beachheads to the U S public. Censors will act uniformly, with foreign-origin dispatches treated as transit news once filed in Britain. Pooling aims to prevent transmission delays across outlets as 300 plus correspondents cover the invasion. Sweden delivered a negative reply to halting deliveries, while wartime communications plans include restricting private traffic and delaying nonessential cables.
