Senate shifts tobacco levy to amusement tax in defense bill
Washington June 17 The Senate moved swiftly toward a final vote on the defense tax bill approving a 77 million increase in amusement taxes replacing 76 million in tobacco taxes. Admission of 10 cents or more would face a 10 percent levy though House favored admissions over 30 cents. Debate over liquor tax rose as 30 to 40 cent per gallon rate was considered. Senators urged higher revenue with amendments proposed by Tydings to raise 400 million annually by cutting exemptions and adjusting surtaxes while Pepper noted belt tightening.

Major engagement reported between French Mediterranean and Italian fleets
A Bordeaux dispatch cited by the Daily Mail says the French Mediterranean fleet under Admiral Darlan fought a major engagement with the Italian fleet, suffering serious losses. The article notes Darlan became navy head only late Sunday night and gives no exact time for the battle. Berlin promises France a hard but not vengeance driven response, due to soldierly duties and enduring political experience. Reports in Shanghai claim extreme Japanese Nationalists pressuring Yonai’s cabinet to push a southward expansion policy amid France’s defeat.
