for a 23 per cent reduction this
year.
Meet Again
After yeiterday' vote, the
majority of the committee decid
ed to make a 10 per cent cut ap
ply this year, with an il.62 cut
to start next year. Debate on
this and the minority report was
to start at 10 a. m. today.
:l But when that hour arrived,
the committee left the house
chamber' to- meet again, the
majority deciding to make the
11.62 cut start next year, and
forgetting about the 10 per cent
cut this year.
April 1 Deadline
The majority (aid that since
140,000 of the 165,000 income
taxpayers last year paid an aver
age tax of only $11.80, it
wouldn't be worth the trouble to
refund them an average of $1.18.
Refunds would be necessary
tinder any program effective this
year, because any income tax
cut could not become effective
until June. April 1 is the dead
line for filing income tax re
turns. . ; '
'.' The house refused to accept
senate amendments to the house
bill to provide for quarterly
payments of income taxes, which
bow are paid only annually or
semi-annually.

could find large U-boat building
and industrial targets, only a
few hours after the RAF night
shift struck a smashing blow at
Nuernberg in southern Germany
where dieset motors and other
submarine equipment are manu
factured. Their attack came a
little over 24 hours after other
American bombers from the
Mediterranean area had raided
Naples at the southern end of the
axis.
That the Americans were
keeping the offensive going was
indicated even before the official
announcement when the German
radio told of aerial forces strik
ing from a high altitude this
morning.
The preliminary official an

attack was heavy but did not
mention specific targets.

SOUTH BEND. Ind, Feb. 26
VP) Judge Thomas W. Slick of
the northern Indiana U. S. dis
trict court today held uncon
stitutional the delegation of rent
control powers to the office of
price administration.
In dismissing a tenant's suit
against a South Bend landlord,
Judge Slick said in his ruling
that "congress never intended to
delegate this omnipotent power
(the right to arbitrarily fix rents
at certain levels) to the adminis
tration of the OPA, and if it was
so Intended, the act, under such
construction, is unconstitution
al." The decision was given in a
suit filed against the landlord,
Dick M. Johnson, by a tenant
who alleged Johnson charged $10
more a month than the rent al
lowed under the act.
First fort In Idaho was built
by David Thompson. It was
called Kalispel house, on Lake

Harold V. Boyle, Associated
Press correspondent at the front,
reported that during the height
of the advance, American Infan
trymen did not even bother to
take their Italian prisoners to the
rear.
One group of Italians, he said,
came over a hill with hands up
and waving white handkerchiefs,
whereupon "our boys disarmed
them, threw their guns away
and waved them on back to the
rear."

was I. A. Wiginton of Spokane,
who wasn't even present.
Night Marshal Bill Howell
said he surprised two men at
tempting to force entrance into
a store and they fled when he
ordered them to "halt." He
fired three shots, one of which
blew a tire on the fugitives' car.
Intercepted by the sheriff's
deputies from Coeur d'Aleno as
they bumped along on the flat
tire, the men abandoned the
car and took to the hills. Howell

Wiginton and had been report
ed stolen last night in Spokane.
