that all persons pay a part of their
1942 tax liabilities next year in one
lump aum in March, rather than in
quarterly Installments. The lump
aum would correspond to the amount
withheld at source from persons
( subject to that withholding. Those
* in the latter group would be able
to use their deductions from pay- j
. checks as this down payment, while
the others would have to use cash.
Paul Explains Proposal.
Randolph Paul, tax adviser to
2 Secretary Morgenthau, explained
the pay roll deduction plan in these
J words, in a statement to the com
il mittee:
"The taxpayer would be permitted
" to credit against his March 15, 1943.
g Installment on 1942 taxes, half of
*• the amounts withheld at source
. during January and February. 1943;
S against his June 15 installment, half
” of the amounts withheld during
£ March. April and May; against his
«• September 15 installment, half of
ti the amounts withheld during June.
% July and August, and against his
£ December 15 installment, half of the
~ amounts withheld during Septem
* ber, October and November.
3 "Under this plan, slightly more
Z than half of the total amount with
“ held at source during 1943 would be
• available in March, 1944. as a credit
2 against 1943 income tax liabilities.
3 in this way. the transition to collec
ts tion at source would be spread over
2 the two years, 1943 and 1944.”
One Refund Plan Rejected.
j The committee reiterated its de
cision to impose a 94 per cent ex
cess profits tax on corporations, but
appeared hopelessly divided on the
question of a post-war refund to
soften the blow of such a high rate.
One specific plan for the refund—
the details of which the members
said they could not explain—was
defeated and members said flatly
that unless some more “workable
program were brought forward, the
tax bill would go to the House
without any such plan.
The committee has decided to
lower the personal exemption of a
single person from $750 to $500 and
for married persons from *1,500 to
$1,200. In addition, it raised the
normal tax rate from 4 to 6 per cent
and the lowest surtax rate from 6
to 12 per cent. Experts have esti
mated that, these changes would
produce *2.700.000.000.

1JM Germans Slain.
Soviet reports told of two battles
on the Kalinin front, north of Smo
lensk, In which 1,500 Germans were
killed in a 48-hour fight, and more
than 700 wiped out in another two
day combat.
Since the ending of the Russians’
winter offensive they have held two
salients pointed at Smolensk, which
is 220 miles west of Moscow. One
reaches to Dorogobuzh, 50 miles
southeast of Smolensk, and the
other runs through Toropetz, 120
miles north of Smolensk and extends
on into White Russia between Smo
lensk and Velikie Luki.
Caught in the bulge are Gzhatsk,
95 miles west of Moscow; Vyazma
and Rzhev.
The configuration of the lines sug
gested to observers that one side or
the other sooner or later must open
a vast, bloody campaign in the
! sector.
| On the Sevastopol front, the Rus
sians admitted the Germans were
throwing reinforcements into their
attack in a desperate effort to fight
through at all costs, hammering
with artillery and dive bombers, and
screening their foot soldiers with
smoke clouds.
But the Russians contended the
Germans were making no Important
; gains.
(Paul Winterton. Moscow cor
respondent of the British Broad
casting Corp., said the Germans
had wedged large forces into
positions on the high road to
Sevastopol and ’'the danger is
very great."
(The Germans were said to be
hammering from the south and
east and from across the mile
wide estuary to the north, where
they admitted the Russians were
clinging to a strong fortress. The
Germans claimed to have stormed
several heights on the south
side.)
Russians Confident.
Whereas cocksure Nazis in Berlin
were quoted on Sunday morning,
June 22. 1941, as saying the war in
the East would be all over in four
: weeks, or maybe six, the end of the
first year finds the Red Army
soldiers quietly confident that they
can fulfill Joseph Stalin’s assign
ment, given last May Day, to defeat
the Germans this year.
They are confident because of the
increased flow of United States and
British war implements and the an
nouncements that Foreign Commis
sar Molotov's visits to Washington
and London presage the opening of
a western front against Germany.
In the hard year just passed the
Russians surprised the world by
shattering the legend of German
invincibility, but in so doing they
wrote a tragic scroll of losses.
These, for the first four months
alone, were acknowledged to be
almost 2.000.000 dead, wounded and
missing.
On the other hand Stalin has
estimated that the Germans lost
more than 4.500.000 in dead, wound
ed and missing in the same period.
Another 300,000 were added, accord
ing to Russian estimate, In the
period from November 16 to Janu
ary 7, covering the Germans' sec
ond fall offensive against Moscow.
If the Russians projected these
casualties at the same rate, they
probably would* estimate the Ger
man casualties now at well over
6,000,000 men.
Drain on Manpower.
Evidence of the drain on German
manpower Is seen in the appearance
of youths and older men among the
prisoners, and in new numbers of
their divisions from 300 up to as
high as 403. Many of these newer
divisions apparently had been re
served for Hitler’s big summer blow.
While Moscow still is a city
stripped for action, its teeming
streets of a year ago comparatively
deserted, it has emerged from its
winter ordeal structurally intact.
It lists about 1,000 dead as a re
S suit of air raids.
The barricades which were erected
last fall in expectation of a street
to street fight have been torn down.
The long battle line winds from
Taganrog on the Sea of Azov, to
Kharkov, Kursk, Orel, northwest
to Bryansk, the Smolensk sector,
Staraya Russa, Novgorod, past be
sieged Leningrad, and Just Inside the
Soviet Karelian border to the Arctic.
Commerce Cafeteria

A small fire in a locker of the

Firemen reported damage was
