Employers nnd labor slill were at opposite poles of Hie unemploy ment legislation picture today, causing doubt that the legislature would be able to go home earlier than usual. Labor, with AFX and CIO rep resentatives seeing eye to eye, offered at a senate industries committee meting yesterday to leave unemployment compensa tion laws untouched, If employ ers would do likewise. Hut employers insislcd they must ask for a law freezing pay roll taxes, paid by employers, at the present rales of 1 lo 2.7 per cent of payrolls. Under existing law, if there is a drain on the fund, the rate would range from 1 to 4 per cent. F.mployers seek to prevent ap plicalion of the rates above 2.7 per cent. Kmployers contended that the threat of penalty rates (those above 2.7 per mil) tend to keep new industries from coming lo Oregon, since adjoining stales do not have them. Rut labor said that adjoining stales don't have the rales below 2.7 per cent, either. The employers added that Hie unemployment fund is big enough to prevent lis depletion even if all war Industries closed up the same dry, but labor disputed this, asserting lliat the liability against the fund is greater now because of the tremendous in crease in the number of em , ploj-es In the stale. School Bill Assailed. Sen. Strayer, bucking opposi tion from school, farm and labor : groups, told the home taxation and revenue committee yesterday that Hie legislature should pass his bills lo repeal the initiative giving surplus income taxes to schools, ami suspend taxes on l-.M.'t and lil-l-l incomes as a "pro ! gram to help win the war." I Attacking the school bill as : loosely drawn and of doubtful I constitutionality, Strayer saiil it ! is "no more sacred I ban any other statute" and would raise ! havoc Willi slate finance. He said current income lax sur I pluses would make colled ion of Income taxes in the next two cars unnecessary. "The federal government." I Strayer said, "will have to place an overwhelming (ax on Ihe poo ! pie to win the war, and the slate should leave money in taxpayers' I hands lo pay It." j Income Tax Upheld. ' Wendall Harnelt, Hrooks. rep i resenting the Slate Farmers un ion, opposed suspension of slate income lax, asserting II "would be an opening wedge for a sales lax." Stale Grange Master Morton Tompkins said Hie income tax should not lie disturbed, as it is fair. Hot h Harnett and Tomp kins favored Hie school bill. Halph W. Peoples, slale (TO i secretary, denied Strayer's charges Ilia: the school bill ' was misrepresented to the voters and opposed suspension of Ihe Income tax. Or. Frank W. Parr, secretary of the Slate Teachers association, urged that the school bill lie amended to make it work belter, but seld Strayer's charges against il were "unfair anil wrong." The senate passed and sent to Ibi- bouse a bill lo permit quar terly payment of corporation in come taxes, which now are paid annually or semi-annually. The senate also approved a house memorial asking congress to adopt the Hunil plan, or pay -as-you go plan of collecting federal income taxes .

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY Major Sea Battle Off Solomons Impending (Continued from page 1.) Iralia that he might have been too optimistic, the secretary said he fell that afler personally view ing conditions he was in a better position to judge the siluation than "anonymous, spokesmen" in Australia. Saw Japs Surrender He told of visiting Guadalcanal and going to a command post in ihe Jungle with General Alexand er Patch, commanding army troops there. From that outpost, Knox said, he saw Japanese de files in the mountains in which Japanese troops have sought ref uge. Some of them, he reported, surendered while he was there. "I do know we have had a num ber of voluntary surrenders, In excess of any before," Knox said. "The groups surrounded by American troops are in a hopeless situation and can't get supplies through. A numner oi me groups, he said, were being "starved Into surrender. Returning to the reported sea ir h-tti ui ihe close of his con ference, he said that the action might lead to a major engage ment but that any such a state ment was based wholly on indica tions. Asked if he still felt, as he said in a Pearl harbor interview Janu ary 29, that the Japanese had given up efforts to reinforce Guadalcanal, he said that he would stand oh that statement. U. S. DESTROYER SINKS 3 JAPANESE WARSHIPS SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3 (APIAn American destroyer, caught unexpectedly in a ring of Japanese warships, sank an ene my destroyer and a cruiser and delivered the coup de grace to a battleship of the Konga class, it became known today. The almost incredible exploit of the tiny craft was learned by The Kxaminer and confirmed by the I'th naval district, which did not, however, make any official an nouncement. The district said the Japanese losses already had been reported by Ihe navy but not previously credited to a single destroyer. The scene and time of the action and Ihe name of Hie destroyer was withheld for reasons of security. The American ship is undergo ing repairs at a west coast ship yard, where ils feat has been recognized by painting miniatures of the three Japanese vessels on ils bulkhead. Rationing of Canned Foods Starts March 1 (Continued from page 1.) (ables -there will be no distinc tion, as there is in Europe, be tween persons who do light work and heavy work. Since canned babv foods are also on the list, babies will get the same ration points as their elders. Ill per sons requiring special diets will be 'able to get them on medical certificates. Restaurants and oilier public eating places will be limited on canned goods but under present plans, will not collect ration cou pons from their customers leav ing all ration points to be spent for home cooking. Housewives Faie Problem. To housewives, one big prob lem will be that of planning a month ahead. For instance, at IS points per person, a family of three will have 14-1 points to spend in March. Each can, bottle or package on the new ration list will have a "point value" - perhaps 10 points for a medium size can of peas, 7 points for a can of spinach. S points for a half pound package of raisins, etc. These figures are only examples. The real list of values won't be made public un lil after February 20, to prevent anvone from hoarding the items which will be most expensive in point values. When she learns these values, the housewife will be advised to figure out how she wants to soend her 11-1 points for the fam ily of three, for instance. If can ned peaches were II points per can. she could buy 10 cans of peaches but would have only 4 points left for all other things. Just as she shops for economical foods on a money basis, she will be expected to spend her points so that thev go farthest in satis fying both the nutrition and taste needs of her family. Inventory First Task. The first task of all household ers will be to inventory their nantries as of midnight February 20. OPA advised this procedure: Empty the cupboards onto a (able. Put away the unrationed foods, such as macaroni, olives, canned milk, chili, home-canned goods, etc. Then put away the rationed cans or packages which contain less than S ounces each. These are mostly small cans of baby food. Then put away five cans or packages for every member of the family, paying no attention to the si,-e or contents of the food. The number of cans or packages left on the table must be reported to the clerk who will issue the ration books during the 3, 1943. six days beginning February 22. Registering Explained. There will be 1,500,000 of these clerks stationed in schools, churches and other-public places. One adult will register for the whole family. First he will have lo show I but keep) his family's sugar coffee ration books. Coffee stamps will be deducted from books of persons who report that they had more than one pound per adult in the family last No vember 28. The clerk will then ask about the number of cans that were left on the table after the Sun day panlry inventory. If there were any left, the clerk will tear out one Spoint stamp for each one. The books will contain both red and blue stamps. The blue ones are for canned goods, the red ones will be used about a month later lor meat rationing. Point Values Changeable. Each stamp will bear both a letter and a number. The letter will indicate when the stamp can lie used -A, 13 and C will be for March. The figures represent point values, and will be in denomina tions of 1, 2, 5 and 8. A can that "costs" 10 points, for instance, could be "paid" for with two 5's, a 2 and on 8, or ten ones. Most grocers will mark the point val ues on the cans or counters right along with the money prices. Point values may ne changed from month to month, but, in general, will be raised and low ered along the same lines as mon ey prices more points for big ger cans or scarcer commodities. A WORD ABOUT BUY ING ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT Careful planning makes for better buying. Things bought on the spur of the moment are often mistakes. And this is especially true of clothes. Clothes money has to do a big iob these days. We need to be well-dressed for a feeling of confidence ond well-being. Yet the clothes we buy should cost as little as possible; War Bonds are much more im portant. The basis of every woman's wardrobe is a good coat. And a good coat must be bought with special care. As always, we've planned our spring coat stock earlyl Choose yours now: and pay for it in small weekly amounts. That will give you your coat when you need it, without a big all-at-once expenditure that might in terfere with your regular purchases of War Bonds.
