(AP)--The Fischer quintuplets rounded out their first 48 hours of life early today with good prospects for survival, The tiny but extremely vigor- ous babies born to Mr. and Mrs Andrew Fischer early Saturday were reported doing fine. Dr. James Berbos, who de- livered the infants, said they still were going strong on a diet from Sioux Falls Saturday to baptize and confirm the babies as they lay in their isolattes, kept comfortable by controlled heat, humidity and oxygen. The baptism was common for premature infants, but the con- firmation of new-born children is rare in the Latin rite of the Catholic Church. Fischer retained two Aber- deen lawyers, Joe Barnett and birth to quadruplets--two boys and two girls--early Saturday. The condition of the babies was described as '"'perfect." At Jackson, Miss., Mrs. Thomas N. Harkins gave birth to four girls Sept. 7. The Fischer quintuplets are the fourth such set known to have survived infancy in the western hemisphere. DIONNES THE FIRST The 29-year-old Dionne quin- tuplets, born in Callander, Ont., May 2, 1934, were the first, Annette, Cecile, Yvonne and Marie survive but Emilie died in 1954, The other surviving fivesome, the 20-year-old Diligenti quintu- plets--Marie Fernanda, Maria Christina, Maria Esther, Carlo and Franco--were born i Ar- gentina July 15,1943. The hospital switchboard re- ported what seemed to be a Stan Siegel, to guard his inter- ests. The lawyers were reported to be negotiating with two ma- jor magazines for exclusive tights to the story of the quin- tuplets. Quintuplets occur about once in 42,000,000 births. SECOND IN 8 DAYS The Fischer quintuplets were the second such set born in eight days, a period highlighted by multiple births. Quintuplet boys were born of sugar water and may be switched to something heavier today, as a milk formula. Dr. Berbos reported that the infants were being fed about four cubic centimetres of sugar water every two hours. He said he expected to decide today whether the four girls and one boy should get their ficst weighing. Berbos, who has delivered 3,607 children in his 16 years as a physician, said both mothe: Like a piece of m clay, this particular tax struc- ture was gripped by dozens of participants and kneaded into every conceivable shape--and it) always emerged in roughly the same size. The problem is this: The six- member royal commission, un- der its terms of reference, can- not recommend a reduction in over-all revenue. Personal in- come tax'accounts for 29.9 per cent of this, and if there were to be any great reduction, where would the loss be recov- ered? Corporation tax, which brings the federal kitty 20.3 per cent! of its revenue, already has a top rate of 50 per cent and not one participant suggested an increase, In fact it was de- nounced more than any other tax. The 11-per-cent federal sales tax accounts for 15.6 per cent of total revenue, and it would take a 20 - per - cent increase there to offset a 10-per-cent de- crease in personal taxes, No- body wanted that. Special taxes on tobacco and alcohol contribute 10.1 per cent in over-all revenue, and a 36- cent package of cigarettes car- ries about 20 cents in federal --_ No increase here, they TAX CAPITAL GAINS This problem of maintcining existing revenues took the starch out of those participants who came before the commis sion merely to seek lower taxes. But at the same time, it-pro- vided an exciting chaticsge for those who sought a fresh tax formula without disrupting the nation's income. Now, after nearly three months of regional hearings, the commission, headed by Toronto chartered accountant Kenneth Carter, can pause and ponder these formulas, along with all the complaints, co m p1 iments and controversy stirred up dur- ing the St. John's-to-Vancouver sessions, Another three-month round of hearings, all in Ot- tawa, starts Oct. 3. If the commission and' the government were to accept in a general way what has so far been urged at public hearings, this picture would probably emerge: 1, Corporation taxes would be reduced -- with an outside chance that they would be elim- inated. 2. The present personal in- and children were doing ex- tremely well.

The infants were expected to stay in their isolettes for p»s- sibly two months or more, un- til they've reached 5% pounds. The boy, heaviest of the babies, weighed about four pounds at birth. His sisters ranged from about 2% to 3% pounds.

He in- dicated that St. Luke's Hospi- tal, where the infants weie bi also would forget about a HAVE FIVE OTHERS The Fischers have five other children. Julie was six Sunday, Charlotte will be seven Wednes- @ay and Danny will be eight Oct. 5. The other Fischer chil- dren are Evelyn, 4, and Denise, 3. While the father and Berbos were busy with periodic press conferences Sunday, Mrs. Fis- cher rested in her room and tried to think of names for the four girls. So far, they all bear the name Mary but have no sec- ond names. The boy was named BRASILIA (Reuters)--Brazil is considering mew steps to sup- press the spread of communism in military and civilian life. A long delayed report from Brazil's National Security Coun- ' warns the Communists have infiltrated the armed forces. The report has caused the Chamber of Deputies to take an- other look at an anti-Communist bill shelved by the previous Congress. It may be offered in a new form in the current ses- sion. Details of the new bill are un- available, but the Security Council concludes that an anti- Communist law is mecessary and suggests including some material not contained in the or- iginal bill. It says, for instance, the bill should contain sanctions against teachers, military or civilian, in public or private schools and in- clude enlisted men as well as -- in the military sanc- ons.

It was estimated that a flat rate of 17 per cent would produce present revenues. The commis- sion heard many times that it was morally wrong for the gov- ernment to grab more than half of one's salary. FAVOR NEW TAX 3. A capital gains tax would be imposed. While the number of submissions, pro and con, were nearly even, most of the opposition came from those in- volved in capital gains, On the other hand, the pro-tax briefs came from a remarkable cross- section--including a British Col- umbla farmer, a Toronto mer- chant and G, Max Bell, presi- dent of F. P. Publications Ltd. and publisher of the Calgary Albertan. 4. The basis of the 11-per-cent sales tax would be changed. There was clear agreement that since the tax is imposed at the manufacturers' level, it results in higher consumer prices be- Any Reduction cause it is included in the per- centage markups of brokers, wholesalers and retailers. The Pharmaceutical Association of Canada said its members would lose $12,000,000 a year if the tax were dropped, but said it should be taken off drugs regardless. 5. The Estate Tax Act would be revised, extending the period for payment beyond the present six months, Steps would be taken to ease the financial blow to survivors who must pay taxes on the capitalized value of pensions and insurance poli- cies, even though they haven't received the money. 6. The controversial subject of taxes on co-operatives would certainly fill a hefty chapter in the report, but after pounds and pounds of briefs the issue doesn't seem any clearer. WIDELY ATTACKED Co-ops, which can deduct pat- ronage dividends from taxable income, say the organizations are merely an extension of in- dividual members and no tax should be paid until these indi- viduals receive the dividends. Corporations argue that patron- age dividends are nothing more than shareholder dividends and should be included in corporate taxable income. Of all the taxes tackled so far by participants, corpor ation taxes clearly took the heaviest battering. And all the damning didn't come from corporations. Various associations, private in- dividuals and labor unions jump- ed to the attack from the open- ing gun. Corporations can't pay tax, the commission heard over and over again, only individuals can and in the case of corporate taxes the individual is probably the consumer who makes his contribution every time a clerk punches a cash register button. When the consumer doesn't pay it, t.e shareholder does. During the onslaught on the tax, the commission heard that it reduces Canada's export trade because it boosts prices; that it encourages industrial ineffici- ency because companies tend to regard the dollar as being worth 50 cents, and they throw money around on company planes, cars and lavish offices. POLITICAL FACTOR While more than 35 sgubmis- sions came out strongly for re- duction or elimination of corpor-' ate taxes, nearly all of them spotted the same catch: These taxes are regarded as polit- ically expedient, since they sug- gest that the money is being gleaned from industrial giants that can well afford it. To shift even part of the burden to per- sonal income, many said, would require political heroism. Not surprisingly, most of the briefs on corporate taxes came from the heavily industrialized centres of Toronto and Montreal --although fewer than half ac- tually came from companies. What did emerge from the re- gional sessions was an over-sim- plified picture of the nation's economic preoccupations. While Ontario and Quebec generaily dwelt on company taxes, the subject was never mentioned in the Atlantic provinces. There, the commission heard requests for more federal aid for educa- tion and that municipalities should be freed from some of their non-property obligations. In Newfoundland there was a plea for more understanding of the province's unique circum- stances, particularly for estate tax purposes. On the Prairies, the subject of pletely dominated the hearings --and in British Columbia the commission found complete di- versification. Fishing, farming, small industry and a vast vari- ety of individual ideas shared the spotlight. continue to be active in all spheres. Individuals and organizations openly preach Communist ideas, and meetings are held "wherein theses contrary to the democratic principles of Brazil are discussed by Brazilian or foreign elements of proven Communist reputation." On Communist infiltration into the armed forces, the report says this is a fact and not just a suspicion. "We all see it and feel it,"' it declares. "Officers with dis- tinctly Communist attitudes are active within the armed forces to the benefit of the Communist ideology. They persist and con- tinue, often in positions of lead- ership or command." TH E H.

Some days more than 100 spec-' tators listened to proceedings, and press facilities were invar- fably jammed. Only in Vancou-} ver was there any other indica- tion of public interest, when sev- eral dozen people sometimes at- tended. Toronto was the only centre that managed to give the com- mission an unobstructed view of empty chairs. It was also the Winnipeg hear- ings -- which Mr, Carter said "greatly exceeded expectation" --that produced two of those fresh, frank approaches to the entire tax structure that the commissioners love to munch on, Tackling the project on the same broad scale as the com- mission itself, the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce assigned the tax - revising role to two manufacturers, two employees, two lawyers, two chartered ac- countants and an economist, Generally, Winnipeg appeared themselves and wouldn't even) q, complete a form. Their employ- ers would pay the revenue de- partment an amount equal to 10 percent of their salaries -- which would be adjusted ac- cordingly. Those earning between $6,001 and $56,000 would pay a 20-per- cent tax on any amount over) $6,000. Incomes between $56,001 and $116,000 would be taxed at 40 per cent with higher incomes being tagged at 60 per cent. - Corporation tax would be lev- GAULS FOUGHT HERE - SAN MARTINO DI GAT- TARA, Italy (AP)--The skel- Geulish 'waitin Weecsapandl a ior was.) found in his tomb by tobacco feids orig | - poke northern Italian town. area bore the brunt of Saturday's irest, is known as a battleground a fy the Gallic Wars between 387 fielde, were tne eect" Yin#| and 330 BC.

The sales tax should be applied to services as well as goods with exemptions being 'extremely limited." Cap. ital gains should bg included in the flat-rate personal tax. The basic exemptions for per- sonal tax should be increased by $500 to offset the higher rate for lower-income groups. SHOT IN ARM The chamber said its formula would increase federal revenues and give the economy a shot in the arm. The commission, whose mem- bers also include J. Harvey Perry of Toronto; Donald G. Grant, Halifax; A. Emile Beau- vais, Quebec City; Mrs. Eleanor Milne, Winnipeg, and Charles Walls, Victoria, had only one day to think about this formula when they were handed an- other. Morris Neaman, a Winnipeg furrier with no formal qualifica- tions in tax matters, came quietly before the hearings and unfurled a tax plan that pulled in an unprecedented round of applause from spectators. "A fresh approach .. . with considerable virtue," said Mr. Carter, clearly impressed with the Neaman Plan.
