6 Heppner Gazette Times, October 7, 1943 ' AT 4tHE MPlttffll Washington, D. C, Oct 7, In the next few weeks selective ser vice headquarters will go after some of the 700.000 single farmers who now have agricultural deferments. "These orders have been prepared and will go forward to the many draft boards very soon. The draft boards will be instructed to resur vey the farm situation in their dis tricts, taking particular notice of the present deferred list. Selective service headquarters believes tight er interpretation of the rules will pull a good many of these men into service. No attempt will be made to campaign for repeal of the Tydings ' amendment to the selective service act, which makes mandatory the deferment of farm workers. How ever, officials are confident that that thousands of so-called farm workers are not following the plow, and it is these men the draft boards will go after. Washington and Ore gon have approximately 26,500 men so deferred and it is thought sever al thousand of that number will be in uniform when their local draft boards get through giving them the . "once over" again. . The new tax bill, now "getting the works" before the house com mittee on ways and means, will be drastically changed before it is en acted into law, say the best guessers around here. It is expected the house will wrestle with the bill for the best part of two months before the measure is ready for the house hop per. In the meantime an array of authorities on tax measures, both for and against the bill, will parade before the committee with their arguments. A strong bipartisan group, which backed by a flock of labor organi zations and others, will attempt to put President Roosevelt's cherished idea of a $25,000 salary ceiling on individual incomes, after taxes, back in the bill. Another group are also set to spring a sales tax as the best way to get a good part of the $50 billion Mr. Morgenthau expects to raise next year. No one believes the bill, as now written, will get by which, among other things, socks the middle class with stiff addi tional taxes- Most congressmen are very cagey on stiffer taxes at this particular time. Reason election time is not very far away, and the middle class are the ones who do the large part of the voting. ' The one man who could and did give many orders to President Roosevelt which were always obey-. ed is about to pass from the Wash .ington scene. Col. Edward W. Star ling, chief of the White House sec ret service and No. 1 protector to five presidents during the past 30 years, is about to retire. The six-foot-two 67 year old veteran secret service agent was always on hand to carefully look over the flock of newspaper men in the antt-room prior to each weekly presidential conference with the press. The col onel, always popular with the men of the fourth estate, had a larger ac quaintance among the newshawks than the president. Starling has vis ited almost every city in the nation as advance agent and protector to presidents. During the almost 11 years of the present administration the colonel has traveled by far more miles with President Roosevelt than the combined distance traveled with his four predecessors- The report requested by Senator McNary from the army engineers on the further development of the Columbia river and its tributaries will be made available in the next two weeks. Rumor has it that part of the report will contain further definite recommendations for the development of the Umatilla rapids project, which has been in the blue print stage for years. The senate committee on commerce, who will receive the report, are expected to act favorably on recommendations made by the army engineers con cerning these Columbia river . pro jects. It is also understood a con siderable part of the report has to do with postwar planning for pro ject in the ; northwest. , m War Food Administrator Marvin Jones has his hands full trying to figure out a remedy for the acute milk supply situation which is get ting worse each day. Milk produc ers are screaming to the high heav ens and demanding that something be done immediately to relieve them of the squeeze they are in. The only way out seems to be a subsidy on feed for whole milk producers. It is estimated that such a subsidy will cost over $100 million and many farm organizations, including flocks of milk producers, have been bat tling anything that smacks of gen eral subsidy. However, competent observers firmly believe subsidy is the only way out. In order to give some farm groups a chance to gracefully back up on their attitude on subsidies some flossy names will be suggeted for this new program, such as "processor subsidy, produ er subsidy," or "transportation sub sidy" anything to get away from the fact or name of a consumer subsidy.
