PAGE TW THE - MICHIGAN DAILY SI UNDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1945 Heavy Tax Placed On Jap War MacArthur Orders Reorganization Of Government Financial Activities Medical School Plans Extension In Five Fields Top Allied Prisoners May Call Leading Britons as Wtnesses Courses Officers Designed for and Civilians V By The Associated Press TOKYO, Sunday, Nov. 25-General MacArthur in a stern "war does not pay" directive today ordered the Jap- anese government to tax away the war profits of all Nipponese firms and individuals and make a capital levy ranging up to 70 per cent on corpor- ate and private fortunes-including the imperial households. Prohibits Credit In the most strongly worded order British Draw Near Control of Soerabaja Base Indonesians in Java Still Offer Resistance BATAVIA, Java, Nov. 24-()-The British virtually completed capture of Soerabaja tonight, but were battling powerful Indonesian forces in at least two other areas of Java and were re- ported to have set the torch to native settlements in one locality in retalia- tion for mutiliation of captured Brit- ish troops. Heavy fighting was reported in central Java at Semarang and Am- barawa. In Soerabaja the British blasted Indonesian positions with Sherman tanks to advance more than a mile in the two-week's old bat- tle for the big naval base. The new gains placed the British in control of Soerabaja's prosperous residential area of Simpang and left only the southern suburb of Darmo to be taken. A captured Indonesian Lieutenant estimated nationalist casualties in the Soerabaja fighting at around 5,- 000. The burning of native settlements was ordered by a British brigadier, the Dutch News Agency Aneta re- ported, after a searching party found the mutilated bodies of four RAF crew members and 20 Indian soldiers whose planes had crash landed yes- terday six miles from Batavia. of the occupation to date, the su- preme commander prohibited all gov- ernment credit or subsidy activities pending sweeping reorganization of government finances, and direct the Japanese to submit a complete war- profits tax program to the first ses- sion of the Diet in 1946. MacArthur also ordered the gov- ernment to terminate by Feb. 1 the payment of any discharge allowances or service pensions to Japanese veter- ans "except compensation for physi- cal disability limiting the recipient's ability, to work." War-Profits Tax Generally the tax program con- templates a 100 per cent war-profits tax on all war industries and a gradu- ated tax up to 100 per cent on all other corporations and individuals, supplemented by a graduated capital levy up to at least 70 per cent. The recapture of war profits and the capital levy are expected to yield well over 100,000,000,000 yen, thus providing "the financial basis for the reorganization of government fi- nances toward peaceful ends." MacArthur described the directive's termination of all service pensions as "another major step toward lighten- ing the deadweight burden which Japanese militariasm forced the rest of the country to bear." Permitted To Import Meanwhile, hungry and bedraggled Japan obtained permission from MacArthur to import food, cotton, petroleum and salt, thus opening' the way for revival of its foreign trade. Tempering this news, however, was the disclosure by Kyodo News Agency that allied occupation would cost the Japanese about 10,000,000,000 (B) yen ($667,000,000) annually. Presi- dent Truman's reparations represen- tative, Edwin Pauley, already has ex- pressed doubt that Japan can meet the bill. Metallic echoes of the old aggres- sive era were heard in the nation's foremost scientific laboratories, as sledgehammers wielded by American troops smashed five cyclotrons with which Japanese scientists had been probing for the secrets of atomic power. In response to the greatly increased demand for educational opportunities during the post-war period, the Medi- cal School has augmented its pro- gram of graduate and post-graduate instruction in five fields, with courses designed to aid returning medical of- ficers and civilian physicians. The Department of Post-Graduate Medicine announced yesterday that the number of resident staff positions in all of the departments within the University Hospital has been in- creased to enable qualified physicians to obtain additional hospital training. Those whose post-graduate specialty preparation was interrupted by the war may also apply to the hospital for appointments to one of the new "Special Instructorships." Three intensive review courses, each of two months duration, have been established, the first one sched- uled to begin January 1, 1946, the others following in succession. Dur- ing the spring semester, brief review courses in specialized fields, running from three days to one week, will be offered. Plan Is Hindered by Legal Restrictions By The Associated Press NUERNBERG, Germany, Nov. 24- Defense attorneys said today they would call titled members of the "Clivenden Set" and other prominent Britons as witnesses in the historic war crimes trial, but it appeared they would be blocked by legal restrictions. Lawyers Disclose Plans The lawyers for the accused Nazi leaders disclosed their plans at a press conference. It was learned au- thoritatively later that restrictions on bringing in foreigners as defense wit- nesses before the international mili- tary tribunal are so multifold that "Big Names" are almost excluded at the outset. The defendants who planned to call British witnesses were former Foreign Minister Joachim Von Rib- bentrop, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel and former deputy Fuehrer Rudolf Hess. May Call Lady Astor Von Ribbentrop's attorney said the one-time German ambassador to London would call Lady Astor and others who used to meet in the 1930's at the Clivenden estate of Lord and Lady Astor, including Lords Beaver- brook, Londonderry and Derby. Kei tel's attorney annrounced that his client would call Giles Rommily, a nephew of Winston Churchill who was captured by the Germans at Narvik, Norway, in 1940, and Capt. Michael Alexander, a cousin of Field Marshal Sir Harold Alexander, also a prisoner of war. Hess' attorney indicated he would call the Duke of Hamilton, on whose estate the former No. 3 Nazi landed when he parachuted upon Scotland in 1941.
