But it will hurt the employer who cannot afford to pay the extra amount in wages and it may very well be the straw that breaks the camel's back." Rumblings of discontent were heard from the farm belt in the wake of Byrnes' announced intention to fight against any increase in food price ceilings, and there were indications on Capitol Hill that a showdown battle was in the making. Manpower Commissioner McNutt indicated the 48-hour week probably would be extended to other areas later, but it is not likely to reach cities having plentiful labor supplies, New York for example. Manitowoc Area Affected The midwestern areas affected immediately are: Akron and Dayton, Ohio; Detroit; Manitowoc, Sterling, 111., and Wichita, Kan. "In those areas," said McNutt, "it (the order) applies to all employ ment." Moreover, Harper, McNutt's chief deputy, announced that it is not discretionary with employers but is mandatory.

A reasonable period of several weeks will be allowed to put the program into effect. The manpower commission expects to find other jobs for workers forced out by the longer work week. Highlights of Program Highlights of the program as outlined by Byrnes, other than the 48 hour week, include: 1. No increase in hourly wage rates beyond that allowed by the war labor board's "little steel formula," except in special cases. This formula permits a 15 per cent increase over Jan.

1, 1941 levels to compensate for higher living costs. 2. Incentive payments to farmers to "enable us to increase production without increasing prices," but no change in the farm parity formula. "Must Smash Black Markets" 3. No further increase in the basic and essential cost of subsistence living.

"We must break up the black markets." 4. Work by all where most needed. "If some men can be drafted and sent abroad at $50 per month, every civilian must go where he can render the greatest service, even if it means less money." 5. Higher taxes to close a "gap" between income and the amount of available goods. A part of the additional taxation on "the lower-middle income groups," Byrnes said, should take the form of post-war credits or compulsory savings.

Cites 1913 War Plans War plans for 1943, Byrnes said, call for "a very substantial increase in our war production over last year's record-breaking goals." "They contemplate, within a measurable period of time," he said, "the invasion of Europe, one of the greatest military operations ever planned in history a military campaign, which no matter how successfully and brilliantly executed, will involve casualties such as this nation has never before endured."

Rates, Wisconsin Tax Proposals (Continued from Page One) adoption of a plan for current col lection of income taxes, saying such a plan "will improve the position of the government revenue." The institute suggested this pro cedure: individual taxpayers should be required to file returns covering income earnings during 1942 and pay, quarterly, the taxes based on such income, computed at 1942 rates.

2. As speedily as possible, the procedure and the necessary legislation should be developed to provide for the withholding of tax at the source to the maximum extent practicable. 3. As the taxes are withheld, after that procedure becomes effective, any amounts withheld during a given quarter should serve to reduce the amount payable for that quarter, but there should be no refund or credit so far as that quarter is concerned if the taxes withheld exceed the amount payable for that quarter. Thus quarterly payments will be cither the amount withheld or one fourth the amount based on 1912 computations, whichever is larger.

4. By March 15, 1944, a final return should be filed, covering 1943 income, and any excess of the tax so computed over the amount paid andor withheld during 1913 should bo required to be paid on March 15, 1941. In most cases, Cooper said, the result of this procedure would be to measure 1943 tax levels by 1913 income, instead of 1942 income, and to eliminate 1942 figures as a basis for assessment.

I la iiilJEjfL it ft till mm Parents, a brother and three sisters mourn the loss of Pfc. Mathew E. Stempinski, 28, infantryman with the United States army who was killed December 22 while in action in the southwest Pacific area. Private Stempinski was the first soldier from the town of Armenia to fall in battle in this war.

He was born in Chicago on De cember 28, 1914, attended school in Armenia and the Coyne Electrical school in Chicago. He joined the army in December, 1941, and received his training at Camp Grant and Camp Roberts, Calif. He went overseas in April, 1942, being stationed first in Australia and then in New Guinea. The Stempinski family heard last from him on November 22, in a letter written from New Guinea. He was the son of Mr.

and Mrs. Alex Stempinski, whose address is Nekoosa, Star route. The father works at Harvard Clothes, Inc. Surviving sisters are Mrs. Lillian Gurecki, Chicago; Irene and De-lores, at home.

One brother, Edwin, lives at home. Binnebose (Continued from Page One) of the type flown by the squadron are not intended for that purpose. Heavy Flying Schedules Heavy flying schedules were followed by the squadron in the early part of the campaign, he, himself, being at the controls of a plane for 37 out of 50 hours in one stretch. His squadron, he said, had four encounters with Japanese patrol planes, "but we came out of them lucky." "One of our men we rescued on a small island after he had been cared for by the natives and hidden from Japanese soldiers who were patroling this island," he said. "That man had spent 70 hours in the water before drifting to the island." A bit on the lighter side, Lieut.

Binnebose told of taking Japanese prisoners and teaching them to speak English, the first lesson being language which was disrespectful to Tojo, He told of the fun his men had in trading with natives on the various islands and said that the natives are exceptionally friendly to Americans. They dislike the Japanese because they have been mistreated by them, he said. Tells of Jap Falsehoods Members of his squadron "got a big kick out of Japanese radio broadcasts after various battles," he declared. "They would come out with announcements of the sinking of large numbers of American aircraft carriers, destroyers and cruisers and urge Americans on Guadalcanal to surrender because the American navy was at the bottom of the ocean. We knew their claims were false because we knew how many vessels we had in the battle areas.

"The best of all was the timo that we heard a Japanese radio announcer say: 'we have annihilated the United States navy and if they come back again we will annihilate them Binnebose told his listeners.

DIES OF BURNS Manitowoc, Wis.

(P) Mrs, John Ruder, 77, died in a hospital today of burns received yesterday when her clothing caught fire at a kitchen range. Chicago (IP) Wheat prices held firm today, giving support to other grains, as a fair amount of commission house buying entered the market following a drop in the first few minutes of trading. Overnight selling orders, apparently caused by unfavorable interpretations of economic stabilization director James Byrnes' speech last night, caused an early sell off of 'a cent in wheat. At $1.39 for the May contract, however, good support was uncovered and prices soon rallied above the preceding close. Receipts were Com 179 cars, wheat 48, oats 29 and soybeans 12.

Wheat maintained small fractional gains throughout the session, and the close was at the day's highs. The bread cereal finished higher, May July $L-39Vj-, corn was up, May 9794-, oats were unchanged to higher, rye finished lower to higher and there was no trade in soybeans.

Tilting higher from the start, the day's favorites toward the close were ahead fractions to around a point.

Encouraging interpretations of war news helped sentiment Mixed reaction was accorded the order decreeing a 48-hour work week for many industrial areas. The tendency of investors was to await further implementing of this and of wage decisions before using it as a basis for commitments. Radio Corp. again was active and spirited in the van of issues touch ing new high ground for 1942-43. The "new high" group included Paramount, Warner Brothers, Loew's, Standard Oil (NJ), Montgomery Ward, Chrysler, Deere, Western Union, North American, American Water Works, Columbia Gas, General Electric and Johns-Manville.

U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Youngstown and Republic Steel all slanted higher. Among Rails, Santa Fe, Southern Railway, New York Central and Southern Pacific were prominent on the up-side. Bond prices were higher under the leadership of rails.

Cotton in late trades was off 5 to 30 cents a bale. At Chicago, wheat closed to of a cent a bushel up and corn rose to of a cent.

In a private meeting with about 50 members of the house and senate, Marshall- was reported to have outlined the progress of American military campaigns and to have explained the need for further increases in personnel which some legislators said would boost the army's total to 8,200,000 men by the end of this year.

Browning stated that Japanese losses in the Solomons campaign from the time of the American landing last August 7 through February 9 were, unofficially, 30,000 to 50,000 men, including many thousands wiped out in their own landing operations. 72 Jap Ships Known Sunk Official reports said more than 1,100 enemy planes were actually observed to have been shot down. Seventy-two Japanese ships were sunk, and 11 probably sunk.

The figure on plane losses excludes hundreds crippled and probably unable to reach their home bases. Admiral Halsey sent a jubilant message of congratulation to Patch, who took command on Guadalcanal last month when the marines withdrew. "Having sent Gen. Patch to do a tailoring job 'on Guadalcanal I am surprised and pleased at the speed with which he removed the enemy's pants to accomplish it," Admiral Halsey said. U.

S. Losses Not Given American losses were not announced, but army and marine officers previously reported ratios of one U. S. plane destroyed to every ten Japanese and one American casualty to every seven for the enemy. Navy losses were put at a scale of one ship to three of the Japanese.

"To tell you the honest truth," Browning said in elaboration of his report on the final capitulation of Guadalcanal, "I do not know wheth er there was any mass surrender by the enemy at the end. General Patch said all the remaining Japs either were eliminated or captured." "Jumping Off Point" "So that people in the United States will not go hog wild over the victory," Browning emphasized that "Guadalcanal was never of any importance except for its airfield and as a jumping off point for future operations." "Guadalcanal now is a secure and relatively comfortable advance base for such operations," he continued. "Our desire to take the island was made up of two parts, the first of which was to deny the Jap its use for similar purposes against us. That has been accomplished effectively ever since last August." Replying to a query whether any isolated enemy units remained on Guadalcanal, Browning said "no." "Of course," he went on, "it is a big island, jungle covered, and it is inevitable there should be survivors in relatively inactive areas. But, as General Patch reported, there is no vestige of any organized force left." Madge Bellamy Given Suspended Sentence San Francisco (JP) Madge Bellamy nearly collapsed today after she was given a six months jail sentence for violating the California gun law but the judge quickly added "sentence suspended" and the former star of silent -films smiled prettily.

She fired two shots toward A. Stanwood Murphy, wealthy San Francisco lumberman January 19, because he had married another woman. The first shots missed their mark. She first was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, but this was dropped. She pleaded guilty today to violation of the gun law.

Miss Bellamy also was placed on probation for one year. Uncover Nazi-Inspired Conspiracy in Brazil Porto Alegre, Brazil (JP) The discovery of a Nazi-inspired conspiracy centering uround Truz Alta, a city in the interior of the state of Rio Grande Do Sul, and purportedly involving Brazilian army officers, enlisted men, civilian and church officials, was announced today in an official report. "All elements in the conspiracy have been jailed," authorities said, without disclosing the number involved but indicating it was large. The report said the plot included "a vast conspiratorial organization which penetrated the army, urging soldiers to desert and shoot down Brazilians in case of an axis invas- ion."
