Wants Income Tax Simplified Congressman Offers Measure To Remove 9,000,000 From Tax Rolls AID SMALL TAXPAYER Simplification of Income tax laws to eliminate 9,000,000 persons from the tax rolls and make unnecessary the filing of returns by 30,000,000 was pro posed this week in a bill by Represen tative Carlson, Republican of Kansas. The measure would remove from further tax obligation those small tax payers now subject to the Victory tax. but whose earnings are not sufficiently large to be affected by regular income levies. The bill would not affect taxes now due by March 15, being applicable to 1944 Income. The legislation would make the withholdings against wages and sala ries the actual taxes of some 30,000,000 persons whose income Is at the nor mal and first bracket surtax levels. Carlson, who sponsored the Ruml pay-as-you-go bill last year, said in a .statement that his measure also would: a. Provide far only one tax on per sonal Income, with a single base and a single set of rates and exemption. through merger of the Victory tax with the regular Income tax. 1. permit tne use or tne snort rorm of return by taxpayers with up to $5,000 gross income. The present limit for this form Is $3,000. 3. Bring about drastic simplification of both the short form and the long form of return. The Treasury department and law makers of both major parties have called for simplification of the tax laws, and Chairman Dough ton, Dem ocrat of North Carolina, said the House ways and means committee will tackle the Job Immediately upon com pletion of the $3,000,000,000-plus tax bill now before Congress.

Stimson Urges Worker Draft Calls For National Service To End Strikes At Critical Period WILL AID PRODUCTION Urging adoption of national service legislation. Secretary of War Stimson said yesterday that during last week alone 33 strikes in war plants resulted In the loss of approximately 135,000 man-days of production. Yet simply penalizing strikes, he contended in an address, would be merely treating a symptom of "a grave underlying lack of responsibility." "We must get at this fundamental cause," Stimson continued, "and by proper organization bring home to every man the fact that his individual work Is a duty to the nation, Just as important in its way as the duty which the Infantryman performs with his rifle, or the artilleryman with his gun, or the pilot with his- plane. "The purpose of a national service law is to reach this basic evil of Ir responsibility and to extend the prin ciples of democracy and Justice which should exist throughout the popula tion. Certainly the nation has no less right to require a man to make weap ons than it has to require another man to fight with those weapons." The War Secretary said he thought three principal results would be achieved by national service legisla tion: First, reducing of strike calls, absenteeism, and "the shocking ex cess of turnover of labor;" second, remedying the "grave sense of injus tice which the armed forces now feel has been practiced against them;" and third. Increasing effectiveness in pro duction by keeping men on necessary Jobs and by finding those needed for particular Jobs instead of leaving the choice to chance. Saying the war's most Important campaigns are imminent, Stimson as serted that "Just at this critical time trouble has broken out on the home front." "The three vital industries upon which all our output of weapons have depended, have been threatened with or actually experienced nation-wide strikes our coal, our steel, and the railroads," he continued. "And even when these three great strikes were apparently settled the epl demlc of smaller Industrial contro versies still continued In the week ending last night, there were no less than 33 strikes in progress in the United States in war plants producing such vitally needed fighting material as airplane and tank parts, machine tools and Jeeps, aviation gasoline, cable and wire, of which we are crltl- callly short, head nets and mosquito bars which -protect our soldiers in the southwest Pacific against malaria During that week, because of these strikes approximately 135,000 man- days of war production were tost be ing the equivalent of nine divisions gone A. W. O. L. for one day." Under national service legislation the government would be empowered to draft men and women for needed Industrial work. IN MEMORY In loving remembrance father, Stanley J. Strawn, of dear who died December 33, 1943: In- a newly made grade not so far away, dies a form we love so dearly, asleep beneath the clay. Father is gone and now we miss him so in every turn of life. We do not have the words to tell, but we know he Is at rest, and the Saviour doeth all things well. When our hearts were almost broken we could think of his dear name; think of how he bore his troubles through so many years, think of how he played the game, so squarely and patiently. Though we long for his dear presence, we will leave him to his rest; praying God that we may realize "Whatever He doest is best." A Daughter, Mrs. Hurley Starnes.

The raiders, following up two air strikes Sunday at that Japanese air and shipping fortress ono northeastern New Britain, shot down 34 of 00 enemy fighters and probably bagged two others while suffering "extraordi narily light losses." Headquarters reported the attack yesterday. The Monday bag of enemy planes made more than 90 Nipponese aircraft shot out of the sky over Rabaul in three days. Enemy losses so far this month In planes certainly downed, probably downed, destroyed on the ground and damaged exceed 350. The torpedo bombers, escorted by fighters, flew to Rabaul from Solomons bases and swept down on Simpson harbor and Keravia bay at midday as low as the masts of the ships. An oil tanker In addition to the five cargo ships, was sunk. Yesterday's communique also report-. ed another In the recent series of air attacks on the Admiralty Islands northwest of Rabaul during which a small freighter was destroyed by fire and eight parked Japanese planes were wrecked. The raid, which cost three Allied planes, was concentrated on the Momote and Lorengau air dromes. The attack, made Tuesday, was the largest to hit the Admiralty group. It was delivered by Mitchell medium bombers of the Fifth Army Air force, escorted by Lightnings. Aerial photographs of 8impson har bar at Rabaul, taken two hours after the Monday raid, showed a 7,00-ton cargo vessel burning and sinking and two 6,000-ton cargo ships going down. The other two sunk were of smaller tonnage. In addition to the tanker sunk at Simpson harbor, another was so badly damaged it had to be beached at Ke ravia bay along with two ships which photographs showed were burning, On New Britain's southwest coast, American invasion forces at Arawe havaf sent patrols far beyond-, the J beachhead perimeter without contact ing Japanese, a headquarters spokes man said.

Revised Vote Bill Proposed Sponsors Of The Bill Force Consideration Of Voting Measure GUARDS STATE RIGHTS Overriding some Republican objec tion. Senate Democrats have forced consideration of a revised Federal ab sentee ballot propesal far armed ser vice voters, obvk y; seeking to undo an earlier decetel leavtaf; thf lob JP to the statevSA'rv . , V, "f -. Before delate an Our' mew Qeeen Lucas war '.'ballot bill got .' very far, however,, southern Democrats de termined to safeguard state'- - rights offered an amendment .that nothing in a Federal ballot law" could alter any state regulation on voting qualifi cations or requirements. The revised service voting bill re creates a Federal war ballot once re jected by the Senate, and revives a bipartisan war ballot commission, bat leaves with the states full authority to-pees on-the validity of an servlee votes. Backers said it meets earlier objections that the Federal ballot plan invaded the states' constitutional right to police their own elections. Senator Vandenberg, Republican of Michigan, declared, however, that the new bill legislates against the possibil ity of state ballots ever reaching men and women in the armed services, be cause it does not make it mandatory for the Army and Navy to deliver them. The Army and Navy say they cant deliver any ballot that weighs more than eight tenths of an ounce," he said. "Most state ballots probably weigh at least two ounces. In view of that how can we say to our states that any ballot will ever reach a sol dier? If the states ballots could be got ten out there would be no purpose in bringing this bill to the floor," re plied Senator Lucas, Democrat of Illinois, a co-author of the service voting plan. "But Secretaries Stimson and Knox say they can take to every battlefield In the world one ballot, and one ballot only. The Army and Navy definitely say the ycannot transmit to the men overseas different ballots from each of the 48 states In the union." The new service voting proposal came onto the floor one day ahead of scheduled House consideration for the states' rights bill previously approved by the Senate. It was brought up over objections of Senator Taft, Republican of Ohio, who tried to block the debate behind a controversial proposal to out law food subsidies.
