Sweeping Shake-up
OF WPB Is Probable
Before End Of Week
Closer Lioison Sought
Between Nelson ond
Service Chiefs
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Complete reorganization Of the
War Production Board. including a
reshuff1ing of some top officials,
probably will be announced this
week, with indications that WPB's
future operations will be tied even
more tightly to demands OF military
strategy.
Heading up the personnel changes,
it was learned today. will be the
transfer Of William H. Harrison,
chief of WPBs Production Division.
to the War Department, where he
presumably will take over an i'm
portant post in the procurement
Setup Of the Service Of Supply.
OF major significance in plans for
the new Setup is a move to bring
WPB Chairman Donald NJ Nelson
and the Army and Navy chiefs of
staff into closer contact. with a
view to increasing elasticity of war
production to fit swiftly changing
military requirements.
Seek Close coordination.
During recent conferences with
Oliver Lyttelton. British Minister OF
Supply. Mr.. Nelson told reporters
that the combined British and
American Production Board in
tended to aim for Standardization
of military equipment and close
coordination Of British and Amer
lcan war production with strategic
and tactical developments on all
United Nations front.
The WPB shake-up. it was under
stood, would effect this co-ordina-
tion so far as the United States was
concerned.
Ofi1cials made 1t clear that the
changes would not be based on the
recent report of the Senate Defense
Investigating Committee, criticizing
men in WPB. The new
setup is to be based on recommended
tions of DR.. Luther Gulick. head of
Columbia University's School of
Business Administration, who has
spent two months here studying
kinks in the agencys operations.
Decrying congressional criticisms
of war production officials, Senator
George, Democrat, of Georgia as
serted meanwhile that IAN over
whelming majority" of the dollar-a-
year men and others have done a
marvellous job and have done it in a
big way"
Transport Greatest Problem.
the Georgia Senator told re-
porterS he was convinced from in
dependent inquiries that war pro-
duction was over the hump in
almost all vital military items,
adding that chief attention now
should be directed to the staggering
problem of transporting materials
on every ocean and to every part of
the world"
While some members predicted the
Senate had not heard the last of the
WPB debate. the chamber had a
more pressing controversy on its
hands today in a move led by Sena-
tor George to commit civilian war
benefits bill to the Finance Com
mittee for an exhaustive study of the
pensions" the Georgia Senator said
il entailed.

WASHINGTON, G., MONDAY. JUNE
New Excise Taxes
Sought 10 Replace
Beaten SaIesle
Committee Still Short
Two Billion of Cool
FIXED BY Treasury
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
With sales tax proposals defeated.
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee turned TO . few new excises
today in an attempt to swell still
further the record breaking total of
50, $40 000, 90 In new taxes 1t already
has approved 70 help finance the
war.
Two proposals have been advanced
to tax bank checks: Either a
definite amount on each check or a
nat monthly percentage levy against
the total Withdrawals from a bank
account. And the Treasury has
suggested that soft drinks be taxed
about $146 900 900 annually.
But with the committee pledged
to complete its work not later than
Wednesday. it appeared that the
total taxes 1t will recommend to the
House will remain about $4,000 yo00.-
600 shy of the revised Treasury De-
parment request for So, zoo, 900 900.
Relief Tor Firms STUDIED.
Before ending its study, which be-
gan In March, the committee also
must consider . so-called general
relief" provision designed to adjust
hardships that the steeply increased
corporation rates might impose on
growth" companies-those new in
business or which, for some reason.
cannot Use the average earnings OF
invested capital base In computing
excess profits taxes.
The committee refused, BY a vote
reported to have been 13 to 3, even
to consider the sales tax question at
q special meeting Saturday Pro-
ponents argued that q S per cent
retail levy. with Government pur-
chases excluded, would produce 81
500 900 900. but others argued that
such 4 tax would fan too heavily on
small incomes because OF the large
percentage spent on necessities OF
life.
The committee did approve. by 10
to 3, a new system Of collecting In
come taxes At the source, be It pay
checks, pay envelopes or bond In
terest.
Automatic Deductions Approved.
The program. to begin January I,
calls for Withholding 10 per cent
each week or month, depending on
how . person Is paid. Of the differ
ence between pay for that period
and weekly personal exemptions.
Those exemptions are obtained by
dividing the annual exemptions by
50.
Half Of these automatic deduc-
tons would be used rs q credit
against income tax bills payable in
1943 on 1s42 incomes. The other
half would accumulate as a credit
in 1943 against the 1914 tax bill
The system contemplates that by
1874. the full 10 per cent deduction
would be applied against the 1914
tax bill.

By 'be Associated Press.
HONOLULU, June 22.-Warn-
ing that the United States vic
tory over the japanese in the
battle Of Midway has given
many people a false sense of Sc
curity," 1t. Gen. Delos C. En-
mons today urged all nOn-reSi-
dents to leave the Hawaiian
Islands as soon as possible.
Although American air and naval
forces early this month routed the
largest feet Japan ever sent across
the international dateline in what
may have been an attempted in
vasion Of the United States West
Coast, IT Is dangerous to assume the
enemy will not return, said Gen.
Emmons. commander OF the Ha-
waiian Department, United States

The outcome Of the battle OF
Midway has given many people
false sense . OF security Gen.
Emmons said in a statement. Moth
ing can be more dangerous than
such an attitude. To assume the
enemy will not return In force and
utilize every weapon at his disposal
Is the most dangerous kind of wish
full thinking.
1T is important TO our war effort
that all civilians, especially all nom
resident women, children and de-
pendent persons who are not en-
gagged In essential war work, make
plans for evacuation to the main
land and depart n; soon rs possible
Il urge all ron PRESIDENTS who are

comes available Practically all

We have always felt that too
few people took advantage OF their
surroundings. We remember the
first time we visited Washington
and asked our cousins how many
times they had viewed the Cap
itol from the monument. They
answered that they had never
been to Washington's monument.
Here when we have snow few
children or grown-ups either for
that matter, get out to enjoy it.
Perhaps some are like myself,
can't take much of cold weather.
But if it does not endanger hea-
lth it seems to be a lot of fun.
Raymond Francis, popular tea
cher at Fleetwood, said he was
t>aching some Of his students the
art of skiing, after school. This is
what we call taking advantage
of a situation. Where they have
no snow some people ride for
miles away to enjoy it.
Making Hay!
The old expression making
hay while the sun shines" may
be used in connection with Con
Ireson's poultry venture. Mr.. Ire
son, who can do a great many
things we'll has hit upon a very
successful scheme for his chic
kens. He has two hundred leg
horns that have never set foot on
the ground. He keeps them in
warm well-ventilated house. And
he does not wait for the sun to
shine or for daylight to wake
them up. He has hen-house well
lighted, turns on the lights about
4 o'clock A. M. and by the time
the Iresons are ready to get up
the hens have laid their eggs for
the day. Mr.. Ireson reports that
from 200 hens he is getting
around so eggs per day.
Interested In AShe
It is always pleasant to find
outsiders interested in Ashe
county. Last week we received a
letter of inquiry from G. T. Toll
liver, Pleasant Garden school, Old
Fort, who wanted to use mater
ial on Ashe and Allegheny coun-
ty in his study of N. c. geography

YOU are quoted by the ASso-

Byrnes limiting net salaries TO

You point out that this order
has no effect on checking int1a-

treasury TO lose. not gain, tax
income, and that II will create
gross inequities between those
who earn their income from
salaries and those who receive
income from investment, since
income from investment is not
limited by this order.
This committee, a nonparti-
san organization. is interested
in the constitutional aspects of
the question and IN its long
range destructive effect upon
our free enterprise system. We
share the deeply rooted and
widely spread suspicion of I'M
stated purposes in this ruling
and the philosophy behind it.
Let us be direct. Isn't the
purpose perfectly plain--not to
raise revenue or curb imitation
by taxation, but TO WIN and up

organizers and 10 further a pro-
gram TO redistribute the wealth
