Definitely no relief for in dividuals or corporations so far as i4o incomes arc concerned. "2. Some "pleasant" suprlses' for corporate and possibly Indl vldual taxpayers on' 1946 account, especially in the way ofpiore streamlined taxation methods and procedures. ' 3. No relief at present by way pf 'Immediate distribution of refundable portions -of Income taxes -already -ollected,- 4. Not 'much relief for "special" groups. The present disposition Is to avoid particularizing in tax relief. Groups with special grievances will probably have to be content with over-all tax rpllef granted all companies In 1946 or else wait for the selective decontrol of prices expected to get under way early In the New Year. 5. Implementation of the Iveo Commission recommends Hons as to annuities, and as to taxation of family corporations prior to 1940. No decision expected on the controversial question of treatment of family corporation earnings in 1940 and subsequent years. Best present guess for appearance of the budget is still on or about Octcbcr 12. One pressure point is the desire to get the budget .down and well-digested prior to the start of the Victory Loan campaign on October 22. Chief difficulty is the complete recasting of financial needs and revenues occasioned by war's end. On the latter point It Is understood tliat very considerable progress has been made. So much so that the budget could come down almost any time now. From now on it will be largely refining and polishing unless some entirely new and unexpected development occurs. As to refundable taxes, the urge Is to do something for corporations who want this money back to use in postwar expansion plans. But the argument against this is that refunds to corporations would be politically "unwise" unless some relief were also granted to individuals. So despite scores of letters every week from hard-pressed Individuals who urgently need their refund for this or that emergency, the prevailing line ol argument is that this Is no time to be handing back $250 millions to add to the swollen stream of personal purchasing power Just before Christmas. On balance, It is thought therefore that there Is no prospect for Immediate relief either for individuals or corporations. Whether there will be a promise for a return in future and at an earlier date than Is now provided for In legislation, remains to be seen. BRAZILIAN LANGUAGE Portuguese is the language of most of Brazil's 41,353,005 people, blanked the Detroit Tigers ' to nothnig to win the third : game or tne current world Series. It was a one-man show as old Claude Passeau, variety right-hander, held the Bengals to a single hit, something that had been done only once before in World Series history, that being away back in 1906. With the Young Bears now one game up, the series now moves to Ch cago where the next game will be played tomorrow, Summary: R II E Chicago 3 8 C Detroit 0 1 2 Winning pitcher Passeau; losing pitcher, Overmire. Cubs scored twice in the fourth inning and once in the seventh. Fourth Inning Lowrey doubled, Cavaretta sacrificed, PafkO' walked and Nicholson singled, scoring Lowrey. Hughes singled and scored Pafko. Two runs, three hits, no errors, two left on bases. Seventh Inning Livingston doubled, Hughes sacrificed and' Hack doubled, scoring Living ptorL jjLL. r Greatest Masterpiece The outstanding one - hit pitching chore by Passeau was, doubtless, the greatest hurling masterpiece in World Series hls-toiy. Putting on an amazing show of control and curves before the largest crowd ever to see a Series game in Detroit 55,500 Passeau allowed just two men to get on bases one on a hit and one on a walk. Passeau was never In the slightest trouble. Rudy York singled with two away In the second and was stranded. Catcher Bob Swift walked to lead off lh the sixth but was wiped out on a double play immediately afterward. . It was the second one-hit game in World Series history, but, for pure pitching records, far outclassed the job Ed Rcul-bach of the Chicago Cubs did in defeating the White Sox 7 to 1 in 1906.

Japan Cabinet Resigns Japanese Administration" Headed by Prince Quit En Masse TOKYO, Oct. 5 The Japanese cabinet, headed by Pre mier Prince Hlgashl-Kunl, has resigned en masse. The cabinet resigned rather than carry out General Mac-Arthur's latest orders to oust the home minister in the interests of achieving a free-thinking, free-speaking Japan. Emperor Hirohlto accepted the resignation with the words, "That is good." Following Hlgashl-Kunl's con- ference with the emperor, he re- ' vealed that the mikado had personally adopted the Idea of submitting the name of the next premier of Japan to General MacArthur out of a desire to ensure full co-operation with the Americans. The emperor's readiness to ac-. cept the resignation of Hlgashl-Kuni Is Interpreted as meaning he thought a strong cabinet more pleasing to General MacArthur could be formed. nwhile, Observers believe Tumlmaro Konoye ap- pears-nsely to succeed Hlgashi-Kuni as Japanese premier. But some sources say his appointment might mean danger of disruption of law and order throughout Japan. Some Japanese have stated flatly that Prince Konoye is personally unpopular with the Japanese peo ple because of his association with war developments.
