Leaders See House Victory For Rural Plan WASHINGTON, May Republican leaders predicted today that the senate approved Rum) plan for total forgiveness of 1K-S2 taxes would be adopted by the house without resort to a compromise senate-house conference. Democratic Leader John McCor- uidcl of Iiia-sachusetts said that the bill probably would not be brousrhi un in hf nniil Tun- day. That appeared to be satisfactory who have called a meeting of their leaders Monday to map parliamentary strategy. Defeat for Administration The senate vote last to SO for the Rural plan--was a major defeat for the administration. It had sought to rally full Democratic support for a 75 per cent forgiveness plan by Finance Chairman Walter P.

George but IS Democrats deserted the party and voted with 31 Republicans for 100 per cent forgiveness. The administration's change to defeat the Rum! plan will -come when the house is asked next week to concur in the changes made in the bill by the senate. The bill left the house in the form of the Robertson- Porand plan providing for only 75 per cent forgiveness. Fight Compromise Republicans will try to whip all possible supporters into line to avoid sending the bill to a senate- house conference from which they fear would emerge another compromise bill. Their prediction of getting house concurrence on the senate version was based somewhat on a major defection in the ranks of Republicans.

Rep. Pred L. Crawford who on previous house votes has opposed the Rural plan, said after the senate vote that he would support total forgiveness of a year's income taxes rather than compromise for 75 per cent or some other partial, forgiveness figure. "I'm against sending this thing to a conference committee where we'd get nothing but another hodge-podge bill," Crawford said. "I personally thought the Republican house leadershipTvas wrong in supporting the Robertson Forand 75 per cent cancellation plan after the Ruml proposal fell on the last house vote.

"The issue still is one of total or no forgiveness. Since there won't be any choice except to vote for the 100 per cent plan or some partial abatement proposal, I plan to support the Ruml proposal."

We have learned several lessons from the axis in military morale.

Whenever we forced a quick evacuation by the Afrika korps, our intelligence staff discovered that newspapers and magazines only a few days old had been shipped in from Berlin and other Nazi cities. Personal correspondence written on Monday reached the troops on Thursday. They had large supplies of candy, cigarettes and other dainties denied to families in the Reich. The Japs, who sent letters ahead of materiel as long ago as 1904, in their war with Russia, provided similar reminders of peacetime comforts to their soldiers in the Solomons and New Guinea. Washington has stepped up the mails partly as a result of these disclosures.

The war department now permits shipment of packages weighing eight ounces and a parent may send one every week. OWT has been instructed to jazz up its radio programs.

Lewis, to its demand that the bituminous coal operators and the United Mine Workers reopen wage negotiations. And it seemed probable, in view of tfie VS LB's criucism of the mint- ovrners' refusal to offer the miners wage increase, that Lewis at last might accede tc the demand of a board that he repeatedly has defied and ignored.

No Comment, Lewis Other factors that seemed likely to persuade Lewis to agree to the board's proposal were the lauer's fairK ciiJojSeir.er.t of cr.c of the miners' guaranteed six-day week--and the suggestion that the miners might be given some wage concessions without upsetting the administration's economic stabilization program. Lewis had no comment to make last night after the board's order was announced, but at his New York headquarters it was obvious that it was welcome news, interpreted as a substantial victory for Lewis. The United Mine Workers' president himself had sought to resume direct negotiations after the initial conferences broke down. Would Stave Off Crisis Acceptance of the WLB order would stave off another crisis in the two-month-old dispute which was climaxed two weeks ago by a series of wildcat strikes, a general walkout and government seizure of the mines. Lewis reopened mines by ordering a 15-day truce which expires at midnight Tuesday.

The WLB said that cosl production must continue under the old contract until a new agreement is reached and that any wage adjustments would be retroactive to March 31 when the old contract expired. Spokesmen for the coal operators immediately promised to comply with the WLB order to meet with UMW representatives and a division of the WLB in New York at 10 a. next Monday to arrange for renewed negotiations. Charles O'Neill, spokesman for the northern operators, said he would be "glad to undertake" the negotiations.

SALIENT PROVISIONS OF TAX MEASURE PASSED BY SENATE WASHINGTON, May tax bill passed by the senate is designed to put every individual income taxpayer on a pay-as-you- go basis starting July 1.

Here are its salient provisions: Forgiveness--The 1942 tax bill for virtually every individual would be wiped out. 'But, if the 1942 income was higher than the 1943 income, the 1943 amount would be cancelled instead of the Lax paid on the 1942 earnings. If the income for both years is more than $10,000 higher than the individual's earnings in either 1928, 19'39 or 1940, reflecting high war profits, the taxpayer would pay a tax on the difference, at current rates, within the next four years. Collections--Starting July 1 employers will withhold from paychecks 20 per cent of all wages or salary over $624 a year for single men with no dependents, 5J.248 for married men with no dependents. An additional exemption of $312 a year for each dependent is allowed in either case.

The withholding applies to 'all wages and salaries, above the basic exemptions, except for farm labor, domestic, service men and clergymen. They, like professionals (doctors, lawyers, etc.) and persons with investment incomes, would be required to estimate the total tax for the year in advance and pay quarterly installments within the year. Farmers would be relieved of making the estimate or paying any tax until the last quarter of the year. High Brackets--The 20 per cent withholding tax is designed to collect at the source sufficient tax to cover up to the first surtax bracket ($2,000 net after deduction of dependency allowance and church and charity contributions).

Gen. Kenyon A. Joyce, announced today.

The Ninth service command, embracing states of California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana and Arizona, was ordered with eight other commands to put the increased furloughs into effect within specified time limits. The war department in Washington said the optional furlough period after induction and before active duty must be extended from seven to 14 days by July 1 and to 21 days by September 1. The war department was interpreted as a measure to make easier the lot of fathers, expected to be drafted this next year in increasing numbers, on the ground their affairs are more complicated and need more time to close. GOLD MINING DECREASES Cessation of gold mining in the western states, in order to use the miners for the extraction of more strategic minerals, closed down 84 per cent of the lode gold properties in California and 96 per cent of the California placer properties. "UNCLE JOE" There still seems to be some confusion regarding the status of those inductees who have been assigned to limited service because of some physical defect The first impression, which is erroneous, is that a man in limited service is not sent overseas.

There is no rule that prevents this. More than likely his physical disability may him Irom combat duty, but he could move with an outiit overseas, performing such duties with this outfit which are consistent with his capacity. There is also a mistaken impression that limited service is a permanent classification. the man improves in health, and the army regime corrects his original defect, he may be reelassified and sent to a comuat unit Often Non-combatants Ordinarily, an ettort is made to send him into some non-combatant unit, such as the quartermaster corps, or ordinance and sometimes these military police units. This does not mean that all present members of these corps are in limited service by a long shot.

Soma of them do very hush.y work. And some of them perform very in ordinance. It nieiely that there are a number of positions in these non-coiubatant brancnes ol the service which are within the lange of a man with physical handicaps. xlie fact that some men classified in limited service are sent to non-coniDatant units gives rise to an impression that there is a special class ot men within this limited service wno are non-combatants. are informed teat this is not true.

Ulten tins mistake arises when an experienced company clerk marks a man non-combatant service when he means limited service. Alter all, this is one and the same thing. Special Training Since the setting up of this limited service classification, the army has done some research on the training of these special cases. One camp in the west has been par- ticuarly successful in the reconditioning of their limited service cases and other camp commanders are setting up special limited service courses. In many cases they have been able to rehabilitate the men, with the cooperation of the medical department, and they have developed a program of basic training which works no hardship on the limited service soldier.

To Mrs. W. P. H. No matter what the recruiting sergeant told your son, the army never guarantees that a man will stay in this country for the duration.
