ways and means committee definite
ly will consider a tax bill this (all.
Chairman Robert L. Doughton said
tonight alter Representative Marold
Knutson, Minn., predicted congress
would cut individual taxes next

but he would not elaborate.
Secretary of the Treasury Vinson

Women'* Clothes To Be
Plentiful November
Washington, Aug. 27? Clothes for
women and children will be "piled

dais.
It v Brightest autl ,..?iuve
picture yet on the clothing outlook. 1
The gartnent prospect has ohangfll
radically since the Jap surrender. 1
The main factor in the change i
was the unexpected speed with
which the army wiped out most of j
its plans for buying clothing ma
terials.
One official even said the nation
can look forward to a "Christinas
shoppers' paradise" in women's and
children's clothing.
Most items of men's clothing wil
be produced in good quantity.
Shirts and shorts will be produced
at a rate of 90 to 95 percent of their i
1939 volume, manufacturers predict.
But industry people expect that
heavy sales to millions of discharged
veterans will keep retail stocks at
low levels until after the first of
the year.
Wide selections of now-scarce
sheets, towels and similar house
hold textile items should be avail
able for Christmas gifts, it was
stated.
This raised the possibility that 1
year-end "white sales" might be re
vived this winter.
Some manufacturers already talk ,
of a price dipl when competition
swirls. A few buyers already have j
cancelled their take-anything
|you've-got orders.
Foreseen ad actual competition
plus cutbacks in military require
ments for top-quality goods are go- 1
ing to raise standards right away ?
not only in quality of cloth but in
workmanship.
Women already know that nylon
hose can be had by Thanksgiving or
Christmas.
Two-way stretch girdles and cor
|sets will reach stores within six to
eight weeks after manufacturing
gins. YoVll probabl" -
November
, wretch girdles and cor
pus will reach stores within six to
eight weeks after manufacturing be
gins. Yo\i'll probably see them in
November.
One hitch may develop? the mak
ers have trouble getting enouggh
cotton thread to match the rubber
thread they already have.
Women's and girls' dresses, night
gowns, pajamas, blouses, slips, wool
kirts and slack suits should be plen
tiful by October and virtually glut
tling the market by Christmas, ex
j perts say.
The supply of maternity dresses,
in greated demand because of the
high wartime birth rate, is expected
to be ample within two months.
As early as September, scarce low
priced cotton dresses will begin to
reappear, many will be in the $3.50
to $12.75 price range.
Wool overcoats and topcoats fori
men will be turned out rapidly. So j
will work clothes.
Slowest to reappear in quantities
will be men's suits, because worsted
suitings is only beginning to come
back. From that point on, it takes
four to six months to make a suit.
Add to the swift inflow of gar
ments made of wool, rayon and cot
ton an unprecedented output of
clothing from nylon fabric ? slips,
blouses, undergarments, nightgowns,
perhaps even dresses.
The nylon industry also expects
toj invade the field of diapers and
cirtains.

Tokvo Not Likelv To Be
Occupied for Some Time
Okinawa, Aug. 28 ? American re
connaisanee units will enter Tokyo
as soon as practicable but pbserv
ers believed today that troops will
not occupy the capital of Japan for
weeks or even months.
This city was ravaged by Ameri
can air raids, one of the Japanese
envoys who went to Manila was
quoted as saying it was "blown to
hell" and that the U. S. army will
have to look elsewhere for neces
sary headquarters and barracks fa
cilities.
It also is believed here that it
will take as long AS five montm to
complete the occupation of the Jap
mainland and that 500,000 American
troops will be landed by that time.
One of the chief present worries
of officers in charge of occuping
forces is protecting Gen. Douglas
Mac Arthur when he makes his first
appearance in Japan. One source
pointed out that it would take only
one man to take a shot at MacAr
thur and then "we'd be in an awful
way."
Occupying troops have been told
in effect that each ought to be an
"ambassador" for his count rjy,
showing "by his dress and conduct
that this is a great army." No rules
governing fraterni2ing have been
laid down as yet.
Some, signs indicate hitches in
plans for co-ordinating occupation
zones with the Russians. It first
was believed here that Americans
would occupy the Japanese half of
Sakhalin island, but it was over
taken quickly by the Red army.
It is possible that American and
Soviet troops eventually will be re
shifted to new lines as they were
in Europe after Germany surren
dered.
More Red Stamps
Valid September 1
Washington ? These stamps will
become good Saturday, Sept.. 1, for
meats and fats: LI, Ml, PI and Ql.
They are being validated for the
usual period of four months ? Sept.
1 through Dec. 27. Each stamp is
worth ten points, making a total of
50.
Invalid after Aug. 31 will be
stamps Q2, R2, S2, T2 and U2.
What the OPA didn't tell ? and
won't until next week ? is how
much meat red stamps will buy in
September. All indications, how
ever, point to substantial reduc
tions in point values.
Antelope Island, in Great Salt
Lake, Utah, has a fresh water well.

for THIS Veteran
But look at its service record! Thousands of Greyhound
buses serving in the battle of transportation have done a
tremendous job since Pearl Harbor ? and they've piled
up a lot of points . . .
Serving out-of-the-way military camps . . , Taking part
in vital military movements . . Taking men directly
to their homes on precious furloughs Serving many
military hospitals where no other transportation is avail
able . . Getting workers to and from war factories.
These Super -Coaches have earned their points . . . but there's
no discharge in sight.
The months ahead will continue to make great demands on
transportation. You can help us meet this crisis by planning
your travel wisely. Arrange your trips in advance ... net
your tickets early . . avoid week-end crowds.
In the days to come we'll have finer coaches, better service, to
give you more luxurious highway travel than ever before.
