ASBURY PARK EVKNING PRESS (THE EVEMNT, NEWS), SATURDAY, JULY 19t2 Ingersoll, Editor, Qimm Tax Deduction Plan Opposed WASHINGTON. OP) Senator Taft forecast today that the senate finance committee would strike from the house-approved tax bill a proposal to collect individual income taxes by installment deductions from the pay envelopes of the nation's workers. The senator who has opposed this section of the new $6,271,000,000 tax bill, said that while he had made no canvass of committee sentiment, he believed a majority of members was inclined to vote against the proposal because of the steep increase it would bring in the collection of taxes from individuals in 1943. The projected collection levy, which would go into effect next Jan. 1, would provide for the deduction by employers of five percent less some exemptions of the periodic pay check of approximately 30.000,-000 persons who work for wages.

The deductions also would apply to dividends and interest payment. The individual ultimately would pay out no more, since the amount collected in advance would be credited against his regular income tax liability, but during 1943 his tax bill would add up to 24 percent ot his wages in the ordinary brae- ATift said he thought a normal and surtax of 19 percent was enough for this class of people In pay, but Randolph Paul, assistant cretary, said the treasury wanted 3fie advance collections because they would act as a further brake against inflation. There was some indication that the senate committee also might reverse house action on estate taxes. The present law exempts the first $40,000 of life insurance, with a further specific exemption of $40,000 for each estate, regardless of whether any life insurance was held. Thus an estate could total $80,000 without this special tax being levied.

At the treasury's suggestion, the house abolished the life insurance provision and made the tax applicable to all estates totaling $60,000 or more, a move the treasury conceded resulted in the loss of in revenue. Colonel Haggard To Speak Tomorrow Enlists in Arniv NEW YORK. Ralph Inger-soll. editor of PM. who accused his draft board of classifying him in 1-A because board members didn't like his newspaper, has offered his services to the army.

The 41-year-old World war veteran whose classification was appealed by PM's owner, Marshall Field, filled out enlistment papers yesterday, took his physical test, and returned home with instructions to report today to learn when, or if, he must appear for induction. On Thursday, Ingersoll submitted to his local draft board a form requesting immediate classification and waiving "all rights of notice, personal appearance and appeal' as required of registrants planning to enlist rather than await call under selective service. At the time of his classification. Ingersoll had declared, in an open letter in PM. that the board was trying to draft him because of prejudice against the paper.

After the board reiterated on July 8 its 1-A decision, Ingersoll asserted in a statement that if he joined the army "I want it to be as an honor paid my profession, not because some men on a local draft board don't like PM."

Rescue Effort Falls May Be Sought Landlords can ask for adjustments in rent under the provisions of the maximum rent regulation which be came effective July I. it was an. nounced today by H.

Russell Phillips, area rent director, Newark. In reply to questions by property owners in this defense rental area, Mr. Phillips said that the statute contains provisions whereby landlords can petition for adjustment where they are believed justified. "In other words." he said, "the door is open for the landlord in the same way that it is for the tenant." "Let me make it plain that rent regulation is not a club to be used, acainst landlords." he continued. "Most landlords know this.

They regard the provision of housing facilities for war workers at decent rates as their contribution to the war effort. These respected members of the community suffer indirectly whenever a few abuse the right of ownership." Mr. Phillips explained that after registration is completed petition forms No. DD-101-B will be available with instructions as well as qualifications of the regulation to the extent of mentioning cases where a petition can be accepted for consideration. "After all." he said, "rent control is not an attempt at housing reform.

Nor is it a program to provide ade quate housing for low income workers. It is purely and simply a de vice for stopping the vicious upward P.n of the inflationary spiral." Naval Captain Killed NEW DELHI. India. (Delayed) lP) Capt. Howard M.

They were held in a garage for three days, tied in groups with insufficient water and food. Reporters Beaten The United Press received a dispatch from its correspondent Robert Bellaire telling how he and Joseph Dynan of the Associated Press were beaten and choked by the Japanese when they refused to write certain statements.

His dispatch said in part: "Officials of the home office questioned me and at great length in an effort to get me to admit that my activity as a press association reporter had included illegal espionage. Since I had done nothing which I considered illegal I made no admissions. "An official who was superintending the questioning then demanded that I write a statement to the effect that I had been well-treated. This I refused to do until I had been badly choked. The officer seized my necktie, pulled it constantly tighter and tighter until it was impossible to breathe.

I then was forced to write statement along lines he dictated. Dynan told me that he had much the same experience. A home office official demanded that he write a statement on the subject. 'The Good Treatment I Received from the Jap- anese During wartime. When he refused he was beaten.

He was hit in the face and several teeth, in a bridge, were knocked out."

The Americans arrived here on the liners Conte Verde and Asama Mai n. They walked down the gangplanks of the two ships as the Japanese on the Gripsholm and the two groups moved along the quay in parallel lines to their new staterooms. A line of railway cars had been drawn up on the quay, separating the Japanese and Americans as they marched to their new ships. Soon after moving to the Gripsholm, the Americans were permitted to disembark and tour the city. The exchange was supervised by the Portuguese foreign office.

The North and South Americans brought with them from Japan and Japanese occupied territories stories of their existence in the Orient un- der Japanese supervision. Some of these accounts told of hunger, cold and threats (rour Associated Press correspondents arrived with the group. Following are portions of a composite story on conditions in Japan and Japanese occupied territory written by the correspondents.
