WEST LUMBER
LIMITED TO
WASHINGTON. May 8 (P)
Seven ipeclei of western lumber
were restricted by the war pro
duction board today almost en
tirely to essential military use.
An order, effective May 13
limits use of all Ponderosa pine,
augar pine, Idaho white pine,
white fir, lodgepole pine. En
gelmann spruce, and western
white spruce, except shingles,
lath or railroad cross-ties, pro
duced In the states of Washing
ton, Oregon, California, Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming, Nevada,
Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New
Mexico and South Dakota.
Demands for military boxing
and crating have become so
great, WPB said, that it was
found necessary to stop unessent
ial and less essential uses of the
lumber. -
About 800 producers In the
specified states are effected by
the order, WPB estimated. These
producers can sell or -deliver the
restricted lumber only to the
central procuring agency of the
corps of engineers, to their con
tractors, to other designated
government agencies, and to
lend-lease countries. .
To provide for. "certain es
sential civilian, uses" the re
stricted lumber may be released
through special WPB authoriza
tion. : ' - ...

THAT'S XV
Allied Air Loss Caused by
Bad Weather, Not Jap Fight
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS
IN AUSTRALIA, May 6 UP) It
was adverse weather, not the
fighting prowess of the Japanese,
that cost tho allies heavy losses
In the air battle over the Arafura
sea off Darwin Sunday.
Exactly what were our losses
has not been disclosed. An of
ficial spokesman at General Mac-
Arthur's headquarters said three
pilots were missing after the
fight against the 21 bombers and
30 fighters the Japanese sent
against the Darwin airdrome
The Japanese bombers came
in at 26,000 feet. Above them
swarmed the fighters, so high
they . were invisible from the
ground.
Allied ground defenses blazed
into action. So effective was
their fire the raiders wheeled
and raced back to sea before
they had completed their bomb
ing run. The explosives they
did drop did little damage.
As the Japanese sped out of
range of the anti-aircraft guns,
the Spitfires roared to the at
tack and the battle raged far
out over the sea.
But when the Australian and
British fighters headed for home
they ran into a whistling head
wind that slowed them so much

to be done by American troops

with guns, bayonets and grenades
until the last Jap surrenders or
dies.

says, have GONE UNDER

Malta, and can't be dislodged by
bombing. '
VTE know by this time how Im
portent Malta has been to
the British, and can't help fear
ing that back in the days when
Kiska and Attu could have been
had for the taking Washington
was so preoccupied with Europe
that it overlooked an important

90 per cent of the taxpayers
numbering over, 33,000,000 per
sons and imposed a 30 per
cent withholding levy sgalnst
wages and salaries, effective
July 1. .
The democratic majority had
narrowly escaped Its worst drub
bing In a decade as It managed
to beat down the republican
backed modified Ruml plan, 206
to 202. A month previously the
democrats had beaten the bill
215 to 188.
OOP Compromise
The republicans then swung
swiftly behind the Robortson
Fornnd compromise, and the
house sent this legislation to the
sonate.
To ease the transition to pay-as-you-go,
the bill abates tho 6
per cent normal and 13 por cent
first bracket surtax on the 1942
income of all taxpayers, erasing
about $7,600,000,000 of tho $10,
000,000,000 of the total. It re
moves the 1042 tax liability
completely for single persons
with incomes up to $2500 and
married persons up to $3200.
The liabilities of others are sub
stantially reduced.
Those not made fully current
by the abatement would con
tinue to pay as in the past, but
there would be no forced pay
ment of more than a year's taxes
within one year.
Salient Points
Salient points of the house
measure follow:
1. Wage and salary earners.
except members of the armed
services, agricultural labor, min
isters and domestic services, will
have 20 per cent deducted from
their pay envelopes and salary
checks, such collections cover
ing both income and Victory
taxes.
2. Persons with Incomes oth
er than wages and salaries-
businessmen, professional men,
etc. would be required to esti
mate their tax for the current
year and pay it within the year.
Farm Tax
3. Farmers would file' a
declaration of their estimated
taxes at any time on or before
December 15 of the taxable year.
4. All taxpayers would be re
quired to file final tax returns
as at present on or before the
March 15 following the close of
the taxable year, and on the
basis of this return, adjustments
would be made for differences
between the estimated or with
held tax and the correct tax.
3. Payments made by taxpay
ers on March 15 and June 15 this
year would be treated as pay
ments on the tax liabilities
against 1943 Income. Taxpay
ers required to make declara
tions on their estimated tax
would flic their first declaration
for 1943 on September 15, and
those desiring to amend esti
mates may file new declarations
on December 15.
Increase Tax
After July 1 the Victory tax
would be 3 per cent instead of
3 per cent.
Exact formulas are set up for
determining the deductions to be
made by employers from wages
and salaries, and the withhold
ing levy is computed in two
parts, as follows:
1. Incomes taxes 17 per cent
of wages or salary In any pay
period above the following ex

In response to questions he

"On rare occasions," Monroe
told a jammed committee room,

The subsidy has been offered
since Inst December on wheat
shipped to Mexico and other
Latin American countries, It was
designed to make American
grain competitive with Cana
dian wheat.
Officials said tho decision to
withdraw the subsidy was
prompted by two developments
first, this country now needs
all Its' wheat, either for food or
livestock feed purposes, and sec
ond, lack of demand for the
wheat in tho affected countries.
Officials said less than 7,
000,000 bushels had been ship
