HEADLINES OR VICTORY?

Sufficient time has elapsed since
the couture of eight submorine-borne
soboteurs was announced TO permit
calm consideration Of such tocts as
hove developed publicly.
On the basis of whot is osoerto'n'
obIe we believe that this episode IS
the best illustration to date Of the ur-
oent need for unifiootion OF oil war
publicity under intelligent direction.
Frequently we hove criticized
Washington for withholding inforro'
tion to which the public is entitled and
which could do the enemy no good.
Here is q sensational instance OF
information which we believe should
not have been given publicity, for sew
eroI reasons of which two will suffice
to make the point.
Both the British and our Navy
make point Of refusing to publ'c'ze
submarine sinkines on the ground that
it is oood strategy to keep the Germans
in ignorance, to the lost possible mo-
ment, as to the fote Of these agencies
of destruction.
How much more, then, should Hit
Ter have been left to worry about his
soboteurs; to wonder why their sched-
uled sabotage did not come off; to
wover whether to woit or to send SUBJ
stitutes = who might not get caught;
to vociIIote in ignorof,ce whether resi-
dent fifth coIumnists, expected to help
inmioront soboteurs, we're at loree or
in custody.
Again, one Of the eorliest psyche
logical lessons learned by q cub news
paper reporter is the power Of sue9es-
ton. Let the papers report suicide by
hitherto unthoueht Of poison, and q
wave Of such deaths with the same
poison often follows. Let it be report
ed that so and so killed himself by

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Amer.
ican Institute of Food Distribution
reported today consumer buying in
the wake of the coffee rationing an
nouncement and predictions of other
restrictions to come was depicting
stocks of wholesale, chain and in
dependent grocers.
Developing shortages of food
have nearly every one in the trade
seriously alarmed" it commented.
wholesale grocers have borne
the brunt of the strong craze to buy
because practically all their stocks
are storable," the institute said.
1t estimated that heavy pur-
chases at retail had more than
balanced sales losses due to short
ages OF some lines of goods.
Aggregate dollar volume. the in
stitute said, was up about 20 per
cent from year ago, against price
increases of around Is per cent in
the same period.
The institute found independent
retailers with large accumulated
stocks doing better than chains
which were short of some staples
and were faced with limited supplies
of meat and fresh produce.
Most wholesalers were reported
limiting deliveries to retail stores.
although some were found to be
discouraged by narrow profit mar
gins and as result letting their
stocks go.

Senator George Urge,
Tax Delay and Pay
As You Earn Plan
Steps Held Necessary
To Avoid Hordships
And Many Defaults
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Proposals involving postpone
ment OF one years income taxes
until after the war and the
inauguration of a pay as you
earn" system of collecting Fed
eral levies were advanced today
by Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee.
Senator George told reporters he
expected informal discussion of such
program at reorganization meet
ing Thursday of the joint congress
Slonal Committee on Revenue and
Taxation.
Advocating early adoption of a
plan for current payment of taxes
by individuals. Senator George said
it was his belief that steps would
have to be taken at the same time
to delay until after the war the
collection Of at least one years levies
on individual incomes.
Defaults Expected,
Az OocA W dVOlQ tremendous
hardships and many defaults in
l943, we are going to have to adopt
some sort OF pay as youHearn method
OF collecting income taxes" he said.
TO DO that, it may be necessary to
postpone an entire years tax liabiI-
lty for individuals until after the
war. when it could be amortized
and paid off in installments.v
The important thing, he said. is
TO get individual taxpayers on a
basis where they would be paving
l943 taxes in 1943, instead of wait
Ing until the following March IS.
Senator George said stiff increases
IN the bill recently enacted, COM
olned with a drastic widening of
tne tax base which added upward
OF 25,OOO,0O0 new taxpayers, made
1t imperative that means be found
Tor current collections. Otherwise
ne said defaults might grow by leaps
and bounds.
Beyond that, Senator George said
Congress undoubtedly would be

the compulsory purchase of Gov
ernment bonds to help finance the
war.
Plan Is Like Rumps.
Senator Georges program was
similar in some respects to that
advanced recently by Beardsley
Ruml, New York banker. Where
Mr.. Ruml urged that individual,
be excused from one years taxes
TO bring them up to date on their
payments, Senator George proposed
merely that years liability be put
OH until after the war. That would
prevent any loss of revenue by the
Treasury.
While asserting he would be
pleased If corporations. as well as
individuals, could be placed on a
current payment basis, Senator
George said he believed most firms
were better prepared than individuals

shifted from the Russian front to
North Africa as a subordinate to
Marshal Rommel.
In the air and, to a lesser extent,
at sea the battle already was joined
as Malta-baSed planes of the Raj
continued to batter at the Axis-h
airport near Tunis, but a spokesman
at Allied headquarters in North AZ
rica said last night that reports of
fighting between Allied and Axis
troops at Bizerte were premature.
Both Radio Morocco, in Allied
controlled Morocco, and Axis sta
tions had reported contact between
the opposing forces, readying for q
clash which will determine the sue
cess of the Allied operation in North
Africa and probably settle the future
of Marshal Rommel's forces.
Fierce Battle Reported.
The London Daily Express also
said the British and American
troops in Tunisia were reported to
be fighting fierce battle with the
Germans near Tunis," but there was
no confirmation for the report.
It was certain that the clash could
not be long delayed with the Allied
forces moving steadily toward the
disputed area between Tunis and
Bizerte and the Axis showing no
abatement in preparations for the
battle.
French forces in Tnisia already
were fighting the Germans ana
Italians. The American Consul at
Tunis, who managed to make his
way out of the AxiS-held city and
reach Algeria, said French troops
near Tunis had thrown back Ger
man patrols and "the French popu-
lation is eagerly awaiting the ar
rival of the Americans"
(The dispatch did not name the
consul, but the State Department
at Washington said Hooker "A,
