MORE Eli ALIENS HELD WAR WORKER 0 COUNT Program to Control Inventories of Retailers, Wholesalers Approved TO BE EFFECTIVE IN 1943 WASHINGTON, Sept.

5 (JP The war production board moved today to crack down on merchants" hoarding of civilian supplies in order to assure an equitable nation-wide distribution of necessities. The WPB approved yesterday a program under which inventories in the hands of retailers and wholesalers will be controlled. The plan, expected to become effective early in 1943, resulted from problems created by heavy buying on the part of some dealers, threatening to create shortages in some areas while an abundance of needed supplies was available elsewhere. Donald M. Nelson, WPB chairman, said the plan would contribute to an equitable distribution of inventories and could be accomplished "without unnecessary hardships or difficulties" for the retail and wholesale trade.

But the plan means that those affected will not be able to stock up beyond normal inventories as a safeguard against anticipated shortages in some lines. A special committee drafted the program after conferring with hundreds of merchants and manufacturers. The latter also may be limited in their inventories. A WPB order will be forthcomine which will require reports from each dealer on his stock on hand and his sales by quarters of the year, accompanied by a statement of the normal inventory. This would, be a stock bearing the same relation to sales as the average quarterly inventory of the years 1939-41 inclusive, had to sales.

Unless these reports showed that stocks had been reduced to such an extent as to require no government regulation, an order would enforce control. "Although excess inventories are now in process of reduction," the committee report said, "there are in dications that abnormal advance buying and attempted accumulation of inventories will again take place many lines oi merchandise during the months ahead." Some manufacturers and merchants would be exempted. Those whose businesses for the year ending September su, mrz, grossed less than $100,000 or whose inventories were less than $25,000 cost value would not be affected. The order would not cover merchants primarily engaged in tne iood business, or eating and drinking establishments, secondhand stores, florists' and antique shops, dry cleaners, shoe repair shoos. steel and other metal warehouses.

auto and parts dealers, farm implement and fuel dealers. It was estimated that 200,000 firms would be affected. 5S City Rated Among 'Best 10' In Country, According to September Survey Lansing is included among a list of 10 cities cited for "recent outstanding business improvement," and is also classed as one of the best cities in the nation for concentrating sales activities, according to the September issue of Forbes, national monthly business publication. According to the Forbes survey, results of which were released Saturday, Lansing is the center of the fourth best high-spot territory in the United States today, with five other cities nearby making up this area which shows a median gain of 22.5 percent over last year. This district, with the four other high-spot territories, was chosen for special mention because its business is farther ahead of last year than that of other areas containing or more population.

Lansing, along with the following cities, was listed among the 10 in the nation cited for outstanding business improvement: Oakland, Springfield, Chattanooga, Spokane and Tacoma. Savannah, Lincoln. Durham, N. and Newport News. Va.

Specifically, in the cities named, business is said to compare more favorably with the same time last disclosed. Where to Look mm HI GILEIP RK PLAN Senate Committee Likely to Reconsider 'Pay-as-You-Go' Tax Scheme WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 (TP) Revival of the Ruml "pay-as-you- go" plan for collection of individual income taxes was predicted today by some of its supporters on the senate finance committee. Senator Byrd (D) of Virginia said he understood that Beardsley Kumi chairman of the federal reserve bank of New York and originator of the program for current payment of taxes, would be available for con sultation with committee members next week when they approach de cisions on individual rate schedules in the new bill. Senator Clark (D) of Missouri added that he believed the committee might call Ruml for further ex planation of his plan, to which treas urv officials have entered some ob jections and which they desire to modify if it is to be adopted.

As tentatively outlined, the Ruml plan would cancel all 1941 income taxes, which under present law are paid in 1942, and apply payments made this year to 1942 taxes. Thus taxpayers would be paying their income taxes on a current basis-, rather than running a year behind. this system thereafter, the taxpayer would compute his actual income at the end of the year and make adjustments, adding the necessary amount to satisfy his liability to the payments he already had made or receiving a rebate. The treasury has suggested that only the 1941 taxes on the normal and first bracket surtax earnings be excused, and that persons in the higher brackets of income be given See RUML Page 2 German Round-Up of Jews in Mid-July Caused 300 Suicides, Is Report LONDON. Sept.

5 (UP) Fighting French headquarters said today that a German round-up of Jews in French' occupied territory in mid-July had caused 300 suicides in Paris alone and had resulted in some of the most terrible scenes of the war. "Jewish women were seen to throw their babies out of sixth floor windows and jump after them, scream ing wildly Jews were dragged from their homes. Others were eject ed from hospitals among pa tients thrown out of the Rothschild hospital was a cancer case, operated on 12 hours previously, also a woman beside whose bed police stood while she gave birth to a child," the fighting French headquarters said in an official statement. Detailed reports, including eyewitness statements, received by secret channels were cited as authority for the statement. It was noted that French people were horrified and that they helped Jews and hindered police.

(United Press reports from the French frontier had reported earlier this week that when Vichy, at the demand of the Germans, started a round-up of Jews in territory so thev could be deported to eastern Europe, French people resisted the police.) Fighting French headquarters said the occupied zone round-up was started in earnest July 12, two days before Bastille Day, the great Republican holiday, and that by Bastille Day 23,000 men. women and children had been herded into the Princess Park and the Velodrome D'Hiver Sports center. The statement, angrily phrased, called the round-up a "program" and compared it in horror to the St. Bartholomew massacre of Protestants in France August 24, 1572, when 50,000 Huguenots were massa cred, though in this case the idea was not to kill but to deport Jews for slave labor for Germany. At the Rothschild hospital, the statement said, a gestapo agent notorious for his cruelty at the Jewish concentration camp at Compiegne "personally directed the evacuation with a whip in his hand." An eye-witness was quoted as saying: "I was in a long queue outside a butcher's shop.

A girl about seven years old raced down the street, shouting 'Please' give me food for Mamma. The police are taking her "Every woman in the queue gave the girl something from her shopping bag. "A few minutes later two police man came down the street dragging- tne mother, beveral women clasped the girl. "'Fear nothing, madame, we will take care of your daughter. Nothing will happen to her," the women cried.

"The police were revolted by their orders." Attempts Suicide, Gun Partly Misses Edward Rey, 56, of 4275 East Delhi road Holt, was in critical condition at St. Lawrence hospital Saturday morning, following what state police described as a suicide attempt late the all-out Nazi assault on Stalingrad. Dispatches to Red Star said Marshal Fedor Von Bock was now "assembling his last forces" in an effort to break through to the Volga. "Northwest of Stalingrad, Red army men broke into enemy positions and left 270 enemy dead on the battlefield," the Russian command said. "Southwest of Stalingrad, fierce fighting continues.

Red army men repulsed incessant enemy tank and infantry attacks The Hitlerites suffered heavy losses." Nazis Claim No Major Gains Thus, for the first time in 72 hours, the Red armies were declared to be standing fast on both sides of the imperilled metropolis at a time when the German offensive had reached its peak. Tne Nazi high command itseil claimed no major gains and ac knowledged that the Russians were striking back fiercely. A German broadcast.quotmg Nazi military quarters, said the Russians were fighting bitterly to make Stalingrad a "Red Verdun" arid declared the sprawling industrial center had been converted into a vast fortress which would be difficult to take. "There are many tanks and so much artillery that German troops, even after they have entered the city's environs, must capture house after house," a Nazi military spokesman said. Besides heavy reinforced concrete bunkers.

Stalingrad's bristling defenses include "innumerable giant minefields, reaching right up to the suburbs where German forces are now fighting," the spokesman said. "Sappers are fighting their way with hand grenades and bayonets from one center of resistance to another." he added. German siege guns were reported pounding the city while hundreds of Nazi warplanes spread fires and destruction, but still the Red armies, bolstered by factory workers and ci- See RUSSIANS Page 2 Ship Concern Ordered Not to Pay Above-Ceiling Prices Tor Steel CLEVELAND. Sept. 5 (JPy OPA today obtained a consent decree permanently enjoining Henry J.

Kaiser's west coast shipbuilding concern from paying above-ceiling prices for steel. The office of price administration had complained that the Kaiser company bought 504.000 pounds of steel in a lot from a Cleveland company, and that price maximums were evaded by having the steel shipped in less than carload amounts. Lots amounting to less than carloads take a higher price. Judge Robert N. Wilkin, in issuing the decree, noted that while the Kaiser company assented to the injunction it "does not admit any wilful violation" of price regulations.

Judge Wilkin observed the complaint did not charge the Kaiser company "with profiteering or with any waste of public funds or critical materials, and no such charges were intended by the complaint." 50,000 REFRIGERATORS RELEASED FOR SALE WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 (INS) The war production board today released for sale approximatelv 50.000 domestic mechanical refriegrators frozen in the hands of dealers and distributors since February- 14.

Douglas and Gov. Herbert H. Lehman of New York were most prominently mentioned, but the possibility of a "dark horse" was not discounted. The President canceled all engagements yesterday to work with his special adviser, Judge Samuel Rosenman of New York, on details of the program as well as his messages to congress and the nation. Informed quarters said the President's order undoubtedly will entail rationing of additional commodities as well as extension of price control to virtually all items relating to the cost of living.

Farm prices, it was believed, will be fixed in most cases below the 110 percent of parity floor provided in the price control law. This could be done through use of the President's war-time powers, possibly by government purchase at legal limit for resale at a lower figure. Stabilization of wages probably will be handled through the war labor board in accordance with its "little steel" formula which strives to restore purchasing power that existed on January 1, 1941. Moreover, reliable sources said, the board's authority probably will be extended to include supervision of voluntary wage increases now beyond its jurisdiction. The salary feature reportedly was still undetermined but salaries may be controlled by application of the "little steel" formula or, possibly, by a rigid freezing above specified amounts.

No Inflexible Rule No inflexible rule against an employe or official receiving increased compensation is expected and control probably will be exercised over the job rather than the man. For example, there might be no prohibition against any one receiving a promotion with a raise in salary, but there probably will be a ruling against a higher salary being paid for a particular job without WLB review. Subsidy payments may be provided for manufacturers or farmers who would be unable to increase production within price limitations. Both labor and agriculture, however, have opposed subsidy payments. Farm and labor leaders who discussed the over-all program with Mr.

Roosevelt have indicated that it is not entirely satisfactory. Some have said privately that it would "put us in an economic strait-jacket." 8 Reporters Meet Death Covering War NEW YORK, Sept. 5 UP) Reporting the first three years of the war from all battle fronts has cost the lives of eight American correspondents, says the current issue of Editor and Publisher, weekly newspaper trade publication.

Family 1,100 (Special to The State Journal IONIA, Sept. 5 The Ionia county draft board wondered Saturday if it had hot done an injustice to one registrant, married p.nd the father of 12 children, by deferring him in class 3-A. for dependency. The wonder arose when the board studied additional information and regulations concerning the servicemen's dependency allowance act.

This act which recently became law permits an enlisted or inducted man in the armed forces of the United States to provide a $5C monthly payment to his wife, $12 to his first child and $10 additional for each other child without limit by assigning $22 from his monthly pay of $50. The rest of the money is contributed by the government. The board noted that the familv of the registrant in question would receive a total of $172 monthly or $2,064 annually under this schedule, were he in service and making the allotment. Plus the $28 monthly pay he would still receive as a soldier this would make a grand total family income of 82,400. The man's questionnaire showed a current annual income of $1,300.
