DEWEY FAVORS
TAX REDUCTION
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 3- — (JP) —
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey proposed
tonight the reduction of individual
and corporation income levies as
a part of a complete overhaul ol
the federal tax system he said
niust be accomplished after the
war to remove “a road-block in the
way of progress.”
In an address prepared for de
livery over a nationwide radio
h.okup (Mutual), the Republican
presidential nominee asserted that
while the nation cheerfully pays
high taxes to meet the cost of the
war. its peacetime objectives of
expansion and recovery could not
be obtained "by taxes which eat
imo the income of those who are
already below a decent American
standard of living.”
Assailing the new deal for what
he st'id were 15 changes in the
revenue laws in 12 years, he pro
posed this program if the republi
cans win in November:
, i. Revision of personal" income
tax exemptions “so that the man
who makes as little as $11 a week
no longer has an income tax taken
out of his pay envelope.”
(2) Reduction of personal income
tax rates.
(31 Revision and lowering of the
income levy on corporations “until
it no longer acts as a drag upon
production and a barrier to jobs,”
with attendant elimination of “spe
cial war time taxes which now rise
to 95 per cent.”
141 Elimination “as soon as pos
sible of excise taxes, except those
on alcoholic beverages, tobacco and
gasoline.
13) Complete overhaul of “exis
ting. confused and complicated tax
laws" and the creation of “a basic
tax law which can be expected to
remain simple and generally sta
ble"
>6) Establishment of a “consis
tent national tax policy—ore direct
ed toward achieving full employ
ment and a rising national in
come."

Poland's Underground
Quits Warsaw Struggle
(Continued from Page One)
Warsaw Polish force was doomed
when it turned out about the mid
dle of last month that Red armies
on the central front would not be
able to crack German resistance
at the polish capital. It was doom
ed, according to authorities here,
because no guerrilla force can ex
ist without adequate support from
outside.
This fact and the way it worked
out in Warsaw with last night’s sur
render by General Bor after 63
days of fighting are now being
cited in official quarters as evid
ence of a theory rapidly gaining
popularity here—that even though
the Nazis try to organize under
ground resistance inside of Ger
many they will face inevitable fail
ure because there will not be any
outside military source on which
they can depend for arms and sup
plies.

many anti-tank ditches, but Ihe
doughboys ran into none of the big
concrete “dragon’s teeth” barriers
through which they fought south ot
Aachen. The Nazi defenders ap
peared to have few good anti
tank guns, and some enemy pri
soners complained that their ver
sion of the Bazooka was not ef
fective against American tanks
at much more than 50 yards.
Hundreds of RAF heavy bomb
ers using 12,000-pound bombs tore
open a seawall guarding the Dutch
island of Walcheren and sent the
North Sea pouring over Nazi for
tifications Which had denied use
of the Belgian port of Antwerp to
the Allies.
The “earthquake” bombs
breached the dike near the vil
lage of West Capelle, on the south,
western tip of Walcheren, sending
a great sheet of water spreading
over the lowland. Gen. Dwight D
Eisenhower warned Dutch civi
lians on Monday to evacuate the
islands.
Some 1,700 American planes at
tacked industries and airfields at
the south German cities of Nurn
berg, Gaggenau and Giebelstadt.
To the south in France Lt. Gen.
George S. Patton’s American
Third army, employing flame
throwers, was reported to have
fought into Fort Driant, a main
bastion of the formidable system
of the Nazi fortresses guarding
Metz.
A lull settled over the British
Second army front in Holland as
the Germans temporarily, at
least, abandoned their armored
counterattacks against Lt. Gen.
Sir Miles C. Dempsey’s salient in
the Nijmegen area and bad
weather slowed Allied air attacks.
There likewise was little activi
ty back along the Belgian-Holland
border, except for a Canadian suc
cess in knocking the Nazis out of
Merxem, a suburb of Antwerp.

Reflecting a belief that the war

organization is essential—you can’t

record of the democratic party in
North Carolina in the last 44 years

The meeting, attended by can

the state during a general election
campaign. It officially opened the
party’s drive for votes. A luncheon
highlighted the conference.
All but one of the candidates for

Mr. Roosevelt said that' after Con.
