Democratic members of the House Ways and Means Committee will push a plan to fund a soldier bonus by taxing war profits. Representative Rainey argues 69,000 people earned 3 billion dollars during the war and would have half of any excess above prewar income taken to pay the bonus. Republicans push a sales tax that could raise 6 to 7 percent overall, risking hidden profiteering. Rainey and allies counter with a transparent tax on final sales to prevent padding. Ambassador Johnson reportedly marooned by northern Italy strike.
