10 Pet. 'Super-Tax'
On Income Levy
Considered
President Is Reported
In Favor of Plan to
Pay Defense Costs
Bf the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt looks with
favor on a 10 per cent “super-tax”
on the income tax to pay emergency
national defense costs, administra
tion ofacials said today, but he
wants congressional leaders to take
the initiative in framing proposals.
The “super-tax,” although still an
informal idea, might be applied
retroactively to 1939 income as well
' as to 1940 income. A taxpayer would
compute his levy In the usual way
and then add 10 per cent to the
total.
These sources predicted that the
response to the President’s budget
message request for $460,000,000 in
additional taxes probably would be
developed after ChairmaVi Dough
ton, Democrat, of North Carolina
consults the House Ways and Means
Committee, Chairman Harrison,
Democrat, of Mississippi consults
the Senate Finance Committee and
both confer with the President and
Secretary Morgenthau.
Other Sources Eliminated.
Officials said the President virtu
ally eliminated all but income tax
sources for new revenues when he
specified that the new taxes ought
to be “according to ability to pay
and avoid taxes which decrease con
sumer purchasing power.’’
He also has indicated support of
the reported “super-tax” by talk
ing publicly of the success of a
similar levy which he sponsored
when Governor of New York.
He was represented as liking the
super-tax idea particularly because
of its mathematical simplicity. It
involves no complicated changes in
tax rates. If a corporation calcu
lated its income tax at present rates
to be $1,000, it would know imme
diately that its tax under the pro
posed law would total $1,100.
Some officials in the administra
tion have wondered whether the
proposed 10 per cent boost would
apply to all kinds of Federal taxes,
but others doubted that the Presi
dent. in ruling out new consumer
taxes, would favor increasing the
excise taxes on such items as gaso
line, theater tickets, automobiles
and refrigerators.
Broader Base Discussed.
The budget also has caused some
officials to wonder whether the time
might be ripe for broadening the
Income tax base, a project previously
indorsed in principle and rejected
as impractical by many Treasury
officials and the President himself.
This would involve lower exemptions
and higher rates for persons in the
lower and middle income brackets.
About the only sure administra
tion tax proposal this year will be
the taxation of interest from future
issues of Federal, State and local
bonds. This project, opposed by
many State and local officials, would
apply only to future issues, however
and its immediate revenue import
ance is slight.
Treasury tax experts, without op
posing the plan, point out that it
might be impractical to add 10 per
cent to the taxes of persons in the
high brackets. They argue that, as
it is possible for multi-millionaires
to pay 79 per cent of their income
in taxes, the 10 per cent additional
would take about half the income
left after paying the regular tax.
Warden Seeking Fugitive
Faces Ouster Demand
By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 11.—An
Oklahoma warden came here today
to demand that Ohio surrender
Carlton Chilton, 1913 bank robbery
fugitive, and found himself the cen
ter of charges that his institution is
a "hell hole.”
The charges came from Mrs.
Mabel Bassett, Oklahoma commis
sioner of charities and corrections.
She demanded the ouster of Warden
Fred Hunt and told Gov. Leon C.
Phillips “the story of the terrible
cruelty, of the suffering" at Granite
Reformatory, where Mr. Hunt is
warden, “can never be fully told.”
Warden Hunt said Mrs. Bassett
was seeking political publicity and
called the charges “a joke.” Gov.
Phillips said he would investigate.
Friends of Chilton, now a re
spected Cleveland citizen, rallied to
resist Oklahoma’s extradition de
mand at today’s extradition hearing.
Martin L. Davey, predecessor to Gov.
John W. Bricker of Ohio, refused in
1936 to surrender Chilton.
Chilton fled from Granite Reform
atory in 1914 after serving one year
of a two-year term. He escaped no
tice until a routine police circular
led authorities to him in 1936.
Cleveland Park Citizens
To Install Officers
E. C. Moyer will be installed as
president of the Cleveland Park
Businessmen’s Association tonight
at the Wardman Park Hotel.
Other officers who will be installed
are Dr. W. H. Whittlesey, vice presi
dent; T. E. Norris, treasurer; Ber
nard Elman, secretary, and Libbie
; Myers, Albert T. Miller, Frank C.
i Ford and F. Leslie Kohler, directors.

tent of his recovery on Jimmy Braddock, former heavyweight champion—and another comeback
—while Arch McDonald, the radio announcer, stands by to pick up the pieces. Mike told on the
radio last night how treatment at Warm Springs, Ga., had aided his recovery to point where he
can now play football, baseball—and can box.

Anesthetic Is Found
Relieving Swelling
After Operations
First Advance in 30 Years
In Treatment of
Ailment Reported
By tbe Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11—The dis
covery of an anesthetic which gives
dramatic relief from the painful
swelling frequently following opera
tions was reported today in the
Journal of. the American Medical
Association?
It was 'called the first improve
ment in SO years in the treatment
of thrombophlebitis, in which a
blood clot forms in a vein, usually
in the leg, causing inflammation and
fever—and sometimes sudden death.
The ailment has been on the in
crease.
The report, made by Dr. Alton
Ochsner and Dr. Michael de Bakey,
both of New Orleans, said that in a
test of 15 patients the results of
the injections were “quite dramatic,"
because there was “prompt and
permanent relief of pain in all
instances.”
In half the cases, they said, tem
perature returned to normal within
48 hours and in the other hall
within a Week. In more than half
the cases the swelling cbmpletely
subsided in eight days and in the
others within 12 days.
“Sixty per cent of the patients
were discharged from the hospital
as cured within eight days,” they
reported.
The anesthetic’s healing action
was attributed to its Interruption of
nervous impulses causing constric
tion of blood vessels, thereby re
establishing the normal exchange
of fluids inside and around the in
flamed vein.
Medical education costs almost
twice as much per student as does
any other of the various types of
professional education, the A. M. A.
reports. Instructional cost per stu
dent, on a credit hour basis, was
given as $26.96 in medicine, as com
pared wfth $15.87 for dentistry, $14.51
for agriculture, $11.05 for law, $10.52
for engineering, $502 for commerce
and $4.06 for education or teaching
Malformations at birth appear to
depend on conditions which affect
the germ cells before conception
and probably aren’t influenced by
factors arising during pregnancy,
the A. M. A. Journal concluded from
a study made by Dr. D. P. Murphy
of Philadelphia. An editorial said
the study indicated that malforma
tions are not due to syphilis or any
other disease of the parents.
