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.

ROAD TO VICTORY
UNION TOWNSHIP, N. 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."
Lincoln then boarded a bus for
his home, and the old four-door
started its last mile to the scrap
pile.

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.

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.

The battalion mentioned might
have been entirely surrounded
and left in a hopeless position,
so that surrender was all that
was left. Moreover, it U de

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

In Africa, as elsewhere through

In estimating the situation

our communication lines are

explains much of the delay in
