TREASURY ACTS Tax Scheme Compromise Is Favored Washington, Jan. 30 congressional quarters said today that the Treasury looked with favor on a compromise for the Ruml pay-as-you-go plan proposed by Rep. Robertson which would erase 1942 personal income tax obligations in the lower brackets, and impose a 20 per cent withholding levy on net taxable income for current collection purposes. Treasury officials will unfold their suggestions formally Tuesday when the House Ways and Means Committee opens public hearings on pay-as-you-go proposals which might affect 40,000,000 taxpayers.

The plan advanced by Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, embraced in a bill by Rep. Carlson (R- proposes to skip all personal income obligations in 11022 ing the tax clock one year forward--that is, 1943 taxes would be paid currently through weekly, biweekly or monthly deductions from earnings, instead of falling due March 15, 1944. Both Robertson and Carlson, members of the Ways and Means Committee, re-emphasized that adoption of either the Ruml, the compromise or any other current payment plan would not remove the requirement for the millions of income tax payers to file their 1942 returns by March 15. A falling-off returns thus far this year as compared with last January, apparently traceable to discussions or possibie excusing of 1942 taxes, has caused serious concern at the Treasury. Entirely separate from the with holding levy, Robertson has sug.

gested a 10 per cent compulsory savings tax against net incomes, also understood to be regarded favorably by the Treasury. The 20 per cent withholding from income after allowable deductions would not be additional tax, but a collection at the source from wages, salaries, interest and dividends, for accumulation against actual taxes as determined when each individual files his return after the year's end. The separate 10 per cent compulsory savings would go into War Bonds, payable to the savers. Government Will Not Regulate Education Haverford, Jan. 30 (UP).

30 (INS). By breaking all precedents by endangering his life, President Franklin D. Roosevelt celebrated his 61st birthday in bringing home to America a master-plan for the birthday of freedom for an enslaved world. On his 61st anniversary President Roosevelt faces a year which civilization is at stake. There has been little rest in the past year, there will be none in the coming one for the American commanderin -chief.

A little heavier, more grayed and more deeply lined. President Roosevelt nonetheless looks and is far healthier than he was in the ominously still days immediately preceding Pearl Harbor. He has less for joking and long bull-sesMons with favorite friends--but the love of laughter and a good joke are still very much there. His decisions are 'quicker -and so is temper -but the genial grin accompanied by a light aside remains intact and lurking just below the serious, grim-faced surface. in history ever had a harder job or a better store, of tough-fibered equipment which to do it.

"Visits to certain distant parts" tonight cancelled President Roosevelt's scheduled birthday radio address and the First Lady stepped up to convey his thanks to the nation "waging two wars--both in service of humanity and both headed for victory." While millions attending birthday balls throughout the nation halted their celebrating to hear the President's annual message and other millions clung silently to their radios, the First Lady offered a brief explanation and read the following message from President Roosevelt: "Please tell all of those who are helping so much in the great fight against infantile paralysis that, even though the visits I have been making in certain distant parts prevent my return to the capital today, they are giving me once again a truly happy birthday." "Tonight we are waging two wars," the President's message concluded," both in the service of humanity and both of them headed for victory."

As Kay entered the large pinepanelled room she congratulated herself. The room did strike just FLYNN-SALARY President Faces Defeat OnTwolssues Washington, Jan.

30 (INS). -President Roosevelt, deep in developing United Nations war strategy. today faced defeat in Congress on two major domestic issues--his appointment of Edward Flynn as Minister to Australia and the $25,000 net limit on salaries which he established by executive order. A number of Senators declared today that the odds favored rejection of the Flynn appointment at the present time. Meanwhile, members of the House Ways and Means committee declared that a majority of the committee would vote for express repeal by law of the limit on salaries of $25,000 after federal taxes.

In both cases, the forecasts bore this the White House is able to apply a great deal pressure at once." Comment among some members of Congress, therefore, was that Congress had become a problem during the absence of the President from Washington and from the country on all -important war matters.

It was a hard place to work for, but a fair one. David motioned to the empty chair beside his desk.
