this is being held up by so-called farm bloc
leaders, who represent wealthy business interests
rather than the working farmers.
But perhaps the most glaring sabotage of
all has been committed against the tax pro-
gram asked by the administration. The tax bill
passed by the House and the proposals of the
Senate Finance Committee are ga complete
denial of the principles set forth by President
Roosevelt" Murray declares, and cut the heart
out of his seven-point program.
The present tax legislation is of the worst
wage-cutting measures proposed. 1t doubles
and triples the taxes on lowincome groups, threat
ening to deprive them of the bare necessities of
life. And now the Senate committee has approved
so-called victory tax" of per cent all gross
incomes over 1924, which, like the sales tax, would
hit hardest those least able to pay.
On the other hand, the present tax legislation
deprives the war effort of some 312 billion dollars
of revenue by refusing to require joint income tax
returns from wealthy couples; to tax tax-exempt
securities; to increase adequately taxes on those
with more than $4,000 year and enforce $4,000
limit on personal incomes; to increase normal and
surtaxes corporate incomes to any real extent;
and to increase gift and estate taxes.
1t is up to labor to take the lead to right
a situation which threatens our whole war eff
fort The unions can do this through confer
ences and mass meetings and every other means
of arousng the people, and by every unionist
urging upon his representatives In Congress
the effective enforcement of President RO0se-
velts ENTIRE economic program.

A Warning Signal

Only one-thrd of the voters registered and
eligible to vote actually cast their ballots in this
years primaries, according to unofficial tabula
ton by the Associated Press of primary voting In
IS States.
Fewer than Is million voted out of total of
more than AZ million who might have voted.
1t is true that millions of voters were away
from home, either in the armed forces or working
In distant defense plants. But even so, this does
not explain the apathy of the many millions more
who had no excuse for not voting.
These primary figures are warning sig
nal for the whole labor movement IL similar
apathy and failure to vote continues into the
November elections 1t will be nothing short
of a stab In the back to democracy and
victory for Hitler.
For there are all too many running for office
this fall who at best are lukeWarm in their support
of our Commander-in-C Chief and our war effort, and
who at worst are outright appeasers labor-baiting
divisionists and defeatsts.
II will take an aroused and enlightened cleo
torate to secure the defeat of such elements and
the election of real win-the-war candidates.
It is labor's urgent duty to see that every
eligible labor and progressive voter not only regis
tiers but actually goes to the polls to vote for those
candidates who truly stand for about effort for
victory.

Economic Sabotage

"The economic program of President Roose-
Welt is at the heart of the war effort. 1t is now
being sabotaged 1t Is the task OF every single
member of the CLIO to smash any such attempt"
This Is the call to action issued this week by
CIO President Murray to every affiliated union.
1t Is some FIVE months since President
Roosevelt presented to Congress his seven
point economic program Since then the wage
sterilization point has been applied by the War
Labor Board But little or nothing has been
done about the rest of the program.
Control of the cost of living and democratic
rationng have not been accomplished, Murray
points out. The OPA has just been "puttering
around" with few individual commodities, he
says, when what is urgently needed Is an overall
rationing Immediately of all foods and other
necessities"
Cost of living has steadily risen due to loop
holes in the Price Control Act and due to the yield
inc Of OPA to business interests at the expense
of the consumers. AS to farm price stabilization
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1942-09-28

from the social injustice it advocates is that 1t is
not supported by the actual facts on our national
income.
The total income of all American families and
single individuals in 1941 was 1914 $40 600 O00 ac-
cording to the OPA Consumers Division. In 1912,
1t is estimated that this total will be about $111,-
O0O0O0,OOO.
The lions share of this total income does not
go to the great majority of low-ncome people, as the
.soak-the-poor editorials would have us believe 1t
goes to the well-to-do minority whom the press is
trying so hard to shelter from higher taxation.
Here are the figures: A minority of 2Oeo of
the people, those in the highest income brackets got
$3.50 of the total national income in 1941-namely,
some so billion out of total of approximately 95
billion.
On the other hand, the low-income people with
less than $4,000 year-which group includes nearly
all workers and working farmers and represents
1919 of the population--receved altogether only
$3.50 of the 1871 national income.
Their total take was around "a billion dollars,
as compared with the so billion going to the WELL
TODD minority.
X X X
ical considerations of taking the money from where
most of it is available as advocated by the soak
the-poor editorial writer's, we reach conclusions
which the opposite of those in their editorials.
We must logically concentrate on getting the
lions share Of increased taxation from the so bill
lion dollars of the well-to-do rather than from the
"a billion of the poor.
This is not only the most logical practical and
mum efficiency of our war economy.
For if we cut too deeply into the low-income
groups, we lower the living standards of the
try's most essential workers of farm and in
dustry and undermine their health, efficiency and
morale for production.
The Clio has emphasized again and again that
the tax legislation passed by the House and recon-
mended by the Senate finance committee is the very
opposite of victory tax program.
1t rejects nearly all the proposals of the U. S.
Treasury for raising necessary tax revenue from
where most money is actually available namely
from high profits and surplus wealth.
On the other hand, it makes murderous nroads
into the low incomes of essential workers. where
least revenue is available and where lowering of liv-
ing standards can do most harm to war production.
This proposed tax legislation falls billions short
of raising necessary war revenue. 1t is illogical.
unjust and impractical in its proposals to relieve
those who have most and to soak those who have
least.
And, perhaps worst of all, it is sabotage of the
Presidents sevenpoint program to prevent infa-
ton and to assure sound war economy. For the
very heart of this economic victory program is
progressive tax system based on ability to pay.
That is why CIO President Murray has just is
sued his call to the whole membership urging every
possible activity to get Congress to change the
present tax bills, and to adopt President Roose-
velt's proposals part of the simultaneous enact
ment of the whole seven-point program.

LOOKING AHEAD
By Len De Caux

\ newspaper chain editorials are full of argu-
Y ments for soaking the poor to relieve the tax
burden of the rich.
They don't put it quite as badly that,
but that's what it amounts to. What they say
sounds plausible enough. 1t is that, though the
well-to-do may individually seem to have a lot Of
money, there are so few of them that no matter
how heavily you tax them you still won't raise any
thing like the huge sums we must have for the
war.
The people with low incomes, on the other
hand the same papers argue, have little enough
individually, but there many of them that
together their incomes represent the biggest chunk
of national income and must furnish the main
source of increased tax revenue.
Those are the practical reasons they say, for
lowered income tax exemptions, sales taxes and
other forms of taxation that fall heaviest on the
poor.
The chief trouble with this argument, aside
from the social injustice it advocates is that 1t Is
not supported by the actual facts on our national
income.

The general, long-range objective
of the learned study Of the comics

Parents Told TO Disregard
Phone Death MESSAGES
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, Nov. 4.-Parents of
men in the armed services received
warning from Army officials yester-
Gay to disregard reports of casualties
delivered over the telephone. saying
a number of fake death messages
had been reported.
Oficials of the Sd Service Com
mand said the messages were proved
to be hoaxes and apparently were
part Of a campaign to break down
civilian morale.
In each instance, q woman's voice
notified persons by telephone that
. son or brother had been injured
or killed in some distant camp.
1--WE have in our possession" the
Army spokesman said, some post
cards bearing similar messages
which had been mailed from Army
camps to parents. Investigation
showed they had been carried into
the camps by some one and mailed
from there just to make them seem
more authentic.
Frankly, it is campaign to break
down morale and we have the proof
Of It,"
He said authentic casualty notices
are sent by the War and Navy De-
partments by telegram and not by
telephone. Telegraph company ON
Gals said all such messages are de-
ltvered by messengers and never by
telephone, in accordance with Gov
eminent instructions.

New Simp|ified Railway
Locomotives Produced
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. New simphfied
railway locomotives capable OF being
used universally to meet war trans
port needs are now in production,
the Ministry of Supply announced
last night.
The engines, intended mainly for
military purposes, will use only
4 tons Of steel casting instead Of
the 81 used In ordinary construction
and thousands of man-hours will
be saved in building them. They
can haul TOO tons at speed OF 80
to 40 miles an hour.
The new design meets the dim
culties Of operating on different
gauge tracks and provides for easy
conversion to the use Of any kind
of fuel.
The ministry also disclosed that
the United States was helping meet
the demands for the thousands OF
locomotives in Great Britain, Tur-
kew, the British colonies and domin-
ions.

Scholarly owl Aide Casts Critical Eye
On War Effort of Comic Strip Characters

Edward Barnhart, Phi. D. and .
Phi Beta Kappa, Is going to settle
down next week to the serious Pc
rusal of American comic strips.
DR.. Barnhart, psychologist, Is in
the intelligence division Of the Once
of War Information. With him, read
ing the comics is going to be strictly
business-and not, pleasure.
DR.. Barnhart is conducting study
Of the comics to determine whether
the characters are carrying the Gov
ernment's war messages to their
readers. A preliminary survey had
convinced DR.. Barnhart that num-
Der of the comic characters are en-
gagged in something less than an all
out effort.
DR.. Barnhart confesses that until
he took his present professional ap-
proach to the funny papers, he had
never read any of them for pleasure.
In his current work he is assisted by
Miss Helen OFT, who confesses she
had surveyed the comic pages from
time to time in the past for her own
amusement. Miss OFT is carrying the
main burden of the comic reading at
this time, calling on DR.. Barnhart
only for specially selected reading.
Initial Report Critical.
1--WE are just trying to see to what
extent the comic strips are getting
the American people into the proper
frame of mind for the sacrifices
which we are going to have to make
in order to win the war" DR.. Barn
hart explained.
He doesn't see anything particu-
larry funny in the funny papers and
looks on them as an important media
for spreading information. Based
on his preliminary readings, he has
prepared a scholarly report on the
situation in the comic pages. HIS
report is, on the whole, rather crit
ical Of the funny paper people.
1.-THE war, as seen through the
comic strip, is primarily combat
with the enemy on the air, sea
and land. The effect of the war
on the civilian is only a subject
of humor. The home fronts actions
and thoughts. and the demands on
the civilians have yet to receive
serious and sympathetic treatment"
DR.. Barnhart's report adds that
the comic strip themes are mot at
the moment of such nature as to
put over the information objective
in a consistent or straightforward
way" He adds the melancholy note
that "the comic strips have con-
tinued gags and melodrama as
usual"
Heroic Feats Prodigious.
The psychologist finds fault with
comic strip artists for failing to
approach war realistically. He points
out that in most strips the hero
single handedly defeats anywhere
from 100 to 1000 of the enemy.
Few strips present the heroism Of
our Allies, he said.
Drawings of the enemy are usually
distorted, he laments. It Is DR..
Barnhart's feeling that Japanese
soldier should consist of something
more than teeth and spectacles.
He feels that more attention
should be paid to stating our war
aims, in extolling our Allies, and
In outlining the sacrifices on the
home front.
The owl funny paper expert has
. good word, however, for some OF
the comics. He finds, for instance
that Sergeant Stony Craig, carried
in The Star. Is the only strip which
depicts in a realistic manner fight
Ing by American soldiers"
DR.. Barnhart feels that Little Or
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1942-11-04

Whether this sort of activity will
be increased when DR.. Barnhart's
intensified comic reading is COM
pleted, none could say. But 1t was
emphasized that no duress would be
used on the comic characters. There
is no danger of Mutt and jeff being
drafted.
