Arm Japanese in United States armed forces proposed
Washington August 5 bipartisan voices pressed for arming Germans and Japanese to defend against a possible Communist threat. Senator Magnuson proposed voluntary enlistment of Japanese in the U S armed forces while Senators Russell and Lodge urged forming an international police force with German and Japanese units. Magnuson asked Gen Douglas MacArthur by cable if voluntary Japanese service would work and noted it would bypass Japan's constitution. He argued U S occupation withdrawal from Japan in Korea demands immediate steps to enroll willing Japanese in defense of their homeland.

Senate Varies from Truman Tax Plan in New Revenue Fight
The Senate Finance Committee appears to drift from President Truman’s tax program as it rewrites revenue plans to fund rearmament against Communism. It approves about 148 million in new taxes while striking down roughly 176 million in administration proposals and contemplates lowering a proposed dividend withholding tax that would raise about 175 million. The panel may also cut or modify other loopy hole provisions and set its own approach to individual and corporate levies.
