WASHINGTON, March 15.-Until
late tonight Federal revenue collectors

would take several days to prepare

Treasury officials calculated the prob
able inflow of tax money at somewhere
between $S00,0O0,0C0 and $1,0OO,000, ,OOO
Indications tonight were that many
corporations and big business interests
had paid their taxes by turning in
treasury certificates purchased months
ago and redeemed to-day. This system
made possible the tremendous tax pay
ments without comparable Withdrawals
OF credits from banks
Thousands of taxpayers chose to paw
the1r entire taxes instead of the one
fourth due to-day, according to reports
from collectors. This was true particu-
larly of persons whose tax amounted
TO small amounts. Consequently Off
clals do not look for the aggregate of
these small payments to swell the total
collections to-day very greatly.
The second instalment of fourth
is due June Is, the third September Is
and the final payment December Is.
Taxpayers who filed tentative esti-
mates to-day have forty-fve days. until

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Encour-
aging responses are being received to
the appeal sent out by the United
States Employment Service for COM
munity and volunteer support to carry
on the work of getting jobs for re-
turning soldiers, sailors and war
workers. Owing to the failure of
Congress to pass. the general deficiency
bill, carrying the necessary appropria-
tion, the Federal Employment Service
will have to be cut down to 20 per
cent of it's present force.
State directors of the bureau, it was
announced, report that state and munic
ipal authorities, welfare and civic
organizations, commercial, labor and
other bodies are offering generous
support Many of these state directors
have volunteered to continue serving
at nominal salary.
numver of state legislatures now in
session, 1t was explained, are consider
ing appropriating funds to carry on
the United States Employment Service
work in their states until Congress, as
is generally expected, appropriates the
necessary money.
Several state employment services
nave arranged to carry Federal employ
ment service Offices over the emergency.
Representatives of welfare organiza-
tons will meet this week with the ma
tional officers of the employment service
to consider further means of CO.
operation.
BY using volunteer workers and pri-
vate funds, number of directors have
advised the director general, it will
be possible for them to continue more
than the one or two offices which they
have been directed to retain. In New
York State, for instance, it has been
arranged to keep open ten Offices which
1T was expected would have to close.
Seven hundred offices must be
dropped. Federal directors are indi-
eating, however, that in some instances
1t will be found possible to continue
additional ones by supplementing their
allotments with private funds con-
tributed by interested organizations
