Roosevelt Son
Pleads, Unity
. ; Charges of FDR'a
'Protection' Hit
By Col. Elliott
- WASHINGTON, March 3-(P)-A
burst of applause from both re
... publicans and.' democrats greeted
( reading in the house Friday off a
' plea from one of the president's
''sons that he and his brothers be
allowed to "fight without being
stabbed. in the back. for the sake
,,of politics" by criticism of their
,,war records.
, j Lt Col. Elliott Roosevelt, writ
hing from north ..Africa, to Rep.
Lanhan (D-Tex), referred with
out naming the congressman to
charges by Rep. Lambertson (R
Kas) that the president "jerked"
two of his sons from battlefronts.
"Such criticism aimed at men
who are fighting for their coun-
try strikes me as sort of unfair,"
Roosevelt laid. "They "can't an-
swer back. We feel we are fight
ing; for all America. We are not
in politics. In the forces there is
' unity of purpose the con'.inuu
ation of American freedom and
' American Ideals.
' "Please explain this fact to your
colleague, and try to explain .to
him that we, as soldiers, don't care
whether or how much he disagrees
with the president, but for God's
sake let us fight without being
stabbed in the back .for the sake
: of politics. . . .
" When the applause from both
sides of the chamber ended. Rep.
' Baldwin , (R-NY) declared that
Lanham "was voicing the senti-
- merit of those on this side of the
? aule, too."
Lanham said he was reading the
communication to the house be-
, cause Lambertson had again
brought up the subject this week.
He apparently referred to Lam
bertson's statement on the floor
Wednesday that "Franklin, jr., and
his du Pont wife were doing the
' night clubs of New York" Sunday
night while Walter Winchell in his
broadcast "dwelt oh the magnifi-
! cent soldiery of Franklin, jr., in
Africa."
Elliott's letter followed Lam
bertson 's first raising in January
of the question whether the Roose
- velt sons all four are in the arm
ed services were being shielded
from danger on orders from "the
commander-in-chief."
CHAMPAIGN, 111., March
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt said Fri
day she didn't think her son, Elli
ott, should have written the letter
he sent to Rep. Lanham (D-Tex)
defending the war record of his
brothers.

can completely wipe out a 22-
Japan's defeat and that a similar
fatei might have befallen our
forces had they been caught; in
similar circumstances.
The admiral's view, entirely
valid then, undoubtedly has
been revised since. For a long
series of engagements has shown
that in aerial combat Japanese
fliers and planes are dktinetly
inferior te American.
Our plane losses in the Sol
omons, for instance, have been
in the ratio of about one to four
ox five for the enemy On var-ious.-occasipris
our' convoys 4n the
Sol&nons area- have been heavily
attacked but nave come "through
with relatively minor damage. In
late: January the Japs managed
to sink the cruiser Chicago while
it was on convoy duty south of!
Guadalcanal, but no other ship
was lost. In mid-February; whenj
they assaulted another convoy!
south of Guadalcanal they losl
heavily in planes but not one oj
our; ships was scratched.'
As the impending American of
fensive develops it can be ex
pected that the Japs will fight
hard and to the death. They may
score here and there a tempore
ary triumph. Undoubtedly they
will inflict losses f on America's
advancing forces. But it seems
certain now mat they will not
be i able to inflict enough losses
to prevent the advance from en
veloping all the : island strong

bracket rates would bf-nHnrwi

men pay in more than 5 per cent
of his net income, since .7 per cent
is the top in the Oregon scale.
The compromise nlan for re
ducing corporation t excise taxes
varies only sliehtlv from th
Walker plan. It gives a flat dis
count of 10 per cent of net tax,
after personal property offset, for
each $2,000,000 of surplus above
the $5,000,000 cushion.
The Walker plan, which Sen.
Walker still would like to see
adopted because he believes in
the principle of collecting at least
a toKen tax from all but the low
est income groups, would apply a
flat 5 per cent discount mr tl .
000,000 of surplus-above-cushion
to the next taxes of both persons
and corporations. On 'the basis
of an $8,000,000 surnlus. that
would mean next year a 40 per
cent tax cut to all brackets.
Rep. Snyder proposed his plan
n the theory that It "would
keep the most money fat Ore

pay little of his 'saving In state
taxes te the federal government,
he explained, whereas the large
taxpayer, from whom the fed
eral government collects a large
income percentage, would actu
ally retain little of any substan
tial return he might receive from
his state tax.
There was little nrnsrwt that
jthe house-enacted scheme for dis
posing of the income tax surnlus
by granting a 10 per cent reduc
tion on 1943 returns and a rate
cut equivalent to 11.62 per cent
next year would be revived. It
lies in the senate assessment and
taxation committee.
The house voted down Dronosals
for larger reductions this year and
;the senate, 19 to 11, refused to
refer the Walker plan back to
committee for inclusion of a 1943
cut.
Either the Walker or the Sny
aer-Mcitenna plans would give
the taxpayers more money back
next year than they would receive
in two years under the house plan

port of the measure. "The re
duction in state revenue probably
wouldn't be over two or three
hundrd ethousand dollars."
ine act would, save tooz a year
to the man with a $10,000 net in

Sen. Walker warned the pub
lie against, going under the com
munity property system without
first obtaining competent advice
as to Its effect en property own
ership. In opposition Sen. Rand asserted
the bill would upset the legal code
of Oregon -and declared ft "a, tax
exasion measure" inopportune at
this time. !
Sen. Lamport criticised the bill
because a person electing to come
under the act could thereafter not
escape its. provisions except by
death or divorce.
"That's true of all phases of the
marriage contract. Is It not?" ask
ed Sen. Mahoney.
Mahoney charged that Ship
builder Henry J. Kaiser had elect
ed to become a citizen of the state
of Washington "because Oregon
did not have a community proper
ty law."
Sen. Strayer called the bill
bill to encourage divorce."
The Oregon. act contains many
reservations designed to prevent
its application to situations such
as liability of husband and wife
in aamage actions, proceeds or in
surance policies and management
of property, which sponsors as
serted would prevent its upsetting
the general body of Oregon law
applying to contracts, domestic re
lations and t. torts. It is strictly
elective, it was pointed out, and
does not apply to property ac
quired before the, time a man and
wife pay the required $50 fee and
