GRIFFIN FIRST Invest Your Money, Your Talent, Your Time, Your Influence In Griffin I Member Of The Associafed Press E VENIN GOOD G - By Quimby Melton Thank God the fighting with Japan is over. For had not Hirohito yelled ""quits” when he did today one of the blocdiest battles of the war woutfl be in progress. For according to the Allied plan for invasion of Japan, Am erican troops would have storm ed ashore on the Japanese h:me island two days ago and by to day hard fighting would have been underw-ay. And that would have meant more American casualties, Today would have been a cru cial day on Kyushu Island with the forces of Nimitz and Mac Arthur in there pushing on Tokyo. All the veteran units, that fought through New Gui nea. the Philippines and other Pacific countries would *h ave been in the fighting.. But Hirohito got his belly full of the fighting and threw in the sponge some three months ago. — *+. — It now is known that the schedule for complete defeat of Japan called for an 18-month long campaign in Japan, And this was to be followed by cam paigns in China and Manchuria. It is also known that had not Hirohito decided he had enough of the that called for use of “suicide” plane and naval unit attacks in a last effort to save the homeland. Japan had saved back men for the last-stand defense. So today we might institute an early Thanksgiving Day—that Japan was defeated long before the time set on the schedule— and that no invasion, against fanatic defenders, of the home land was necessary.

Employers regularly withhold — by deductions from the paycheck - the full tax on employes making up to $5,000 a year. They've done that in JJ)45 They'll do It In 1948 They do it by tables given them bv the government. The government will give them new tab les for 1946. The 1946 reduction does three things: gives a taxpayer the same number of normal tax and surtax exemptions: knocks 3 per cent off cacli surtax rate; and then, alter all this, knocks 5 per cent off the total tax. This is what that means' Tin re are two kinds of taxes on individuals: a flat 3 per cent normal tax on all incomes, no matter hew . large or smnll; and a surtax whicn starts at 20 per cent on taxable income under *2.000 and then rises, by brackets, as the income rises till it is, 90 per cent on the highest in comes In 1946 there is a reduction of 3 per cent in each surtax bracket. So the 20 per cent surtax of 1945 be comes 17 per cent in 1946. There is a 3 per cent cut no matter how high the surtax. Befnrp you Apply your surtax to taxable 1945 income you deduct $500 each for yourself and each 'depend ent. These $500 deductions are exemptions. But in 1945, before applying your normal tax to taxable Incr.me, you ran deduct only one $500 exemp tion You can t deduct any exemp tion for dependents It’s different in 1946 You no* only get a $500 surtax exemption for yourself and each dependent but you get the <ame total exemp tion before applying your normal tux Miss Ann Tyus Heads 9th Grade Miss Ann Tyus vu recently elect ed president of,.the Freshman Class at Griffin High School.

Elliott R Thorpe said, hewever. the attitude is limited to a few individuals with small fo4« low lugs. Other Allied sources said there was potential danger this t •— of thinking would increase when large numbers of demobilized troops are repatriated from China and other regions where they felt no physical defeat. Thorpe added his department did not consider it likely thousands Of ablebodied Japanese ex-service men, and morp particularly former mem bers of the disbanded rabid and rough gendarmerie, could abandon overnight their carefully Indoctri nated fanaticism and belief In Jap an's ruling destiny.
