On* Stop Nearer
USHINGTON, Aug. 13. <U.R)—
neellution of the three per cent
rmal tux was viewed today as !
ely first postwar step to reduce |
individual income tux burden. \ I
| This could be done easily and i ?
could bo in effect by Jan. 1 while I
Congress considered more thor- j
qughgoing tax revisions. |
Repeal of the normal tux would ,
eliminate income tax obligations |
of persons now paying up to $3!) j
annually under the present struc- |
ture. It would mean a reduction J
for all the remainder of some 50,-
000,000 taxpayers.
Still standing would be the
heavy surtax which starts at 20 j
per cent arid graduates tr> !)1 per J
cent, according to income.
The House Ways and Means 1
Committee, where tax bills origi- !
nate in Congress, had planned to
take up tax riiatters in the year. In
view of war developments it may
go to work earlier.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13 (U.R) —
Any dungling doubts thut the De-
troit Tigers mean business about
; winning the American League pen-
nant were dispelled today after
week end dcbui.s by the two pitch-
ers they picked up as "flag iti-
. suranee."
The Tigers ar ,i"i comfortably
in front ar. yet only two games
to the good with the tough Wash-
ington Senat' i s dogging their
tracks.
Yesterday genial Jim Tobin, the
exponent of the fluttering "crawl
' ball" made his Detroit debut as a
relief piicher in the ninth inning
against the visiting Yankees. The
Yankees swung themselves weak
for three innings against his tan-
talising losses and got nowhere. '
Then he broke their hearts in the
11th with a three-run homer to
produce a II to (i victory. Tobin, ;
top h me run hitter among major i
league pitchers, connected with a '
100-foot drive to end the game.
Ituss 1 terry had tied the score with ;
| a homer for the Yankees, sending I
the game into extra innings.. j
i A ft: i Tobin's feats, Hal New-
houser had an easy time of it in
i winning Ids Stli game, 8 to 2, in
I the nightcap, backed by 12 hits
j an I four Yankee errors. Roy Cul-
| lcnhine got a Tiger hemer.
