Ickes Reported
Distressed By
Policies of FDR
By I.yIo C. Wilson
(United Preti Staff Correipondent)
Washington, Dec. 29 iipi The
newspaper PM reports editorially
that Secretary o Interior Harold
L. Ickes Is so distressed by some
of President Roosevelt's policies
that he may resign from the cab
inet if the situation fails to
change.
The report states, specifically,
that Ickes considers himself "muz
zled" by the state department and
therefore has been .compelled to
decline an invitation publicly to
denounce the Spanish govern
ment of Generalissimo Francisco
Franco at a Madison fequare gar
den rallv to be held next week.
This rally is being organized to
sponsor a aemana ior a nrpn in
diplomatic relations with Madrid.
invitation iierunuu
In response to a United Press
inquiry whether he had been in
. vited ot speak at the anti-Franco
rally, Ickes replied: "I have been
invited and if I were not holding
an official position I would be
glad to go up and say what I have
thought for some time about that
gentleman. But in view of my of
ficial position, I nave aeenneu.
PM does not suggest that the
state department actually inter
ferred with any address Ickes had
prepared, or that he even had
sought its advice. The implication
is that Ickes took one look at the
men placed in charge of the state
department by Roosevelt since
the election and decided it would
be futile to expect them to ap-;
prove what ho would like to say
about f ranco.
Ickes Frustrated
Ickes was one of the new deal
stalwarts frustrated when Presi
dent Roosevelt gently balked at
accepting Vice President Henry
A. Wallace as his 1944 running
mate. His unhappiness and that

set a time fuse to spluttering

are going."

that if he undertook to address

Important Dates
For Taxes Listed
Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., commis
sioner of internal revenue, today
called attention to employers, and
employees to the fact that Janu
ary 1 and January 31, 1945 are
important dates in connection
with withholding of income tax
from wages. , .
i Januarv 1 is the effective date
for the new rates of withholding
prescribed by the individual in
come tax act of 19-14. By terms
of that act, the new rates apply
to all wages paid on and after
January 1, regardless of when
the wages were earned. The new
rates are intended to adjust each
employees withholding more
closely to his actual income tax.
The new rates average about the
same as the old rates, but vary in
individual cases. Employers al
ready have received detailed in
structions in Circular WT-Rev.
1944, additional copies of which
may be obtained at any collector's
office.
- Deadline Set
January 31 is the deadline by
which the law requires employers
to furnish each employee a with
holding receipt on Form W-2
(Rev.), showing how much wages
were paid him and how much in
come tax was withheld from his
wages during the calendar year
1944. These, receipts have a spe
cial Importance this year, be
cause the new law authorizes
most employees to ise their re
ceipts as simplified income tax
returns. This new feature is ex
plained in an official leaflet, en
titled "How to Use Your With
holding Receipt as an Income Tax
Return," and employers have been
asked to distribute copies to their
employees.
Commissioner Nunan also urged
employers to be especially care
ful, when preparing each with
holding receipt, to show the em
ployees home address and social
security number, as well as all
other required information. The
home address and social security
number are vital for identification
purposes.

Costello of the army has the
candy shortage licked for a while,
but he doesn't know how it hap
pened. i Four times within two hours
his doorbell rang. Each time he
answered it and all he found was
aji expensive box of chocolates
our boxes altogether.
.. He called police just why, he
didn't say and while police were
in the house a pounding was
heard at the back door. Costello
and the cops scurried to the rear
of the house, and found it had
happened again. A fifth box.
It's a sweet mystery.

By Frederick C. Othman
(United Preaa Staff Corratipondent)
Washington. Dec. 29. UP My
sadistic boss said he thought It
would be a good idea to drop down
today to the coast and geodetic
survey, make my peace, and see
if maybe this time I could get the
facts straight about Whistler's 20
cent etching.
The coast and geodetic boys
didn't even throw any rolled-up
maps at me. Only the boss was
brutal and I'd hoped he had for
gotten the worst day in the life of
on Othman. Or, for that matter,
in the history of the coast and
geodetic survey. It was nearly 10
years ago.
I'd run onto the story of how
James McNeil Whistler worked
for the survey in 1854 making cop
per plate etchings of American
coast lines at a wage of $1.50 per
day. He was a first class.artlst,
even then, and the headmen over
looked his liking for beer on the
job. What they couldn't ignore
was his penchant for decorating
his maps with sea serpents, drag
ons, mermaids and whales.
He climaxed his career one af
ternoon with a sketch of the At
lantic coast, enlivened by two
whales spouting water and one
maiden with a tail and no chem
ise. The department chief said the
next time Whistler desecratea a
map with animal life, he was
through.
"Yes sir," said Whistler and
went to work on a profile map of
Anacapa island off the coast of
California. He finished the map
and that urge came over him. He
drew in two flocks of gulls, soar
ing over the rockv headland. That
was the end of Whistler in federal
service.
He went on to Paris, fortune
and fame.
This, as you can see, was not
such a bad story on a dull day.
The lady clerk said would I care
to see the etching that got Whist
ler fired? Would I! Boy. She sold
me one for 20 cents, the regular
price, and then I did have a story.
I beat it back to my typewriter
and wrote the yarn much as
you've read it here, but starting
off with the question: "Want an
original Whistler etching for 20
cents?" '
Newspapers all over the coun
try published this dispatch (it was
a dull day, remember) and appar
ently very few citizens missed
reading it. Most of them wanted
Whistler etchings for 20 cents
each.
The coast and geodetic survey
received phone calls. Washington
ians lined up at the door to buy
their etchings. Mailmen grew
stoop-shouldered, hauling in sacks
of letters enolosing two dimes or
20 cents in stamps. Finally there
was a room full of letters, piled
from the floor to the ceiling, all
demanding bargains in etchings.
I'd received a couple of hundred
letters with enclosures, too, and
was wondering how to deliver
them to etching headquarters,
when the coast and geodetic sur
vey phoned. The man on the line
(I never did get his name) was
apoplectic.
"Do something," he cried. "Stop
it. And what kind of a dim brain
is this Othman, anyhow?"
He didn't know he was talking
to Othman. I never let on. He
went on tQsayj as my heart sunk,
that anybody with sense would

returning dimes to art lovers. The
coast and geodetic survey did the
