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.
