Revenue Bill Cuts In Senate Amid Tax Pushes
The Wisconsin Senate cut 3.61 million dollars from the administration's revenue bill and tentatively guaranteed local units another 5 million for relief. The 20 million measure paused at noon with later session planned for amendments. The liquor tax rise of 3.25 million was dropped, part of a coalition deal to levy a 14.00 million income surtax and approve a cigaret tax that would bring in 6 million. The Senate also killed a proposed corporate tax revision and a 1.5 million cut from 1938 gross receipts. A Gawronski amendment to charge 9 million from the general fund for local relief passed, while other tax plans including a 3% flat levy on monthly telephone bills were defeated. An amendment by Senator Hampel would replace the Syrtax with a plan to seize Heil’s real and personal property, provide a 750 dollar annuity, cover club dues, and grant two acres of land for relief administration.

British French Bomber Shuttle Service Planned
Foreign military experts believe Britain and France plan a near continuous bomber shuttle against Germany to aid Poland in any war over Danzig. The strategy would use French bases to launch raids, refuel in Poland, then return via Germany, aiming to blunt Germany's air and munitions capacity while avoiding land force commitments. Poland, squeezed between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, fields about seven million troops, potentially delaying any German invasion. The shift could hinge on a new German-Soviet pact and Russia’s relief role.
