Congress Plots Study of Federal Marketing Plan (Continued From Page One) the blame for high food prices." Horace H. Herr, secretary, of the national league of wholesale fresh fruit and vegetable dis tributors, .denied that there was "any undue spread" between the price" producers received and consumer paid for food. This spread, Herr said, "is as tonishingly low, ranging from 2 to 9 per cent." Herr declared that distribution of food was "a function that somebody has to carry on and the cost of the service would still exist regardless of who handled it." "Whether the government or thousands of individuals compet- ing with each other could do it more economically is a matter of opinion," he commented.

J., VP) When his 1930 sedan broke down (again) Robert Lincoln heaved a deep sigh and then called po lice: "Here," he said when they ar rived, "Tow this away as my do nation to the Township's junk drive."

AT OUR BOX OFFICE VICTOHY TAX STARTS I JANUARYWAGE (Continued From Page One) declared the ruling ran counter to congressional intent. "It was the intention of con gress, I know, to base the tax on 1943 earnings," said Senator Byrd lD-Va.). "I'd be in favor of clarifying it, and applying the tax to income earned in the next year. Suppose a man was paid his income on a quarterly basis, and received a quarters income next month." Senator Danaher (R-Conn.) said there was "no slightest doubt" that the act provides that the victory tax withholding deduction from salaries should apply to income commencing January 1, 1943. Averag Out 'The apparent incongruity be tween the act and the treasury's ruling which calls for a deduc tion on income received, even though not earned, in January, may be justified only on grounds of expediency," he said. "First, the ' computation for tens of millions of wage earners would create enormous book keeping difficulties. "Second, the withholding tax, in part at least, represents an approximation which will be averaged out over a year's time. REINSTATEMENT OF (Continued From Page One) strike and a sympathy strike In 18 other Detroit war plants on November 7. Smith also is head of the Confederated Unions of America, a new organization of independent unions. No Pledg In striking, the panel said, Smith was seeking to force the WLB to assist his union in ob taining negotiations with the Briggs management to circum vent the company's contract which gives exclusive bargaining rights to the CIO United Mine Workers. i After hearing testimony, in cluding that of Smith, four of the five panel members reported that organizers for the mechan ics union proclaimed it never had pledged not to strike during war-time and that they sought to recruit members by promising to use the strike weapon to gain concessions.' On November 4, the report said, seven members walked out of the plant and were followed later that night by 60 other mem ber maintenance workers.

Moreover, it U de scribed merely as an "enemy" battalion. Large numbers of Rumanians arc operating with the Germans, under more or less compulsion, and these Ruman ians can't be expected to nave their hearts in the fighting. After all, they aren't much mora than semi-slaves. Still, it will be incidents such as this that will signal the start of a German debacle. So don't disregard them entirely.

THE Japs on Guadalcanal seem in h in nhnut the same situa tion as those at Buna. That is to say, reinforcements and sup plies have been shut off from, them by the vigilant blockade maintained by our navy and our air forces.

Both sides are working on the other fellow's communications. In Africa, as elsewhere through out the world, communication lines are ALL-important. In estimating the situation there, we must never forget that our communication lines are longer than our enemies'. That explains much of the delay in taking Tunisia.
