BY SPENCER KLAW

Limited Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Washington, August 27. = (UP) The Senate Finance Committee to- day rejected, 13 to ', an effort to force recognition of its approval of the House plan to collect portion of individual income taxes by de- duction from wage, salary and divi- dend checks, starting January first. Senator Robert A. Taft, Republi- can, Orio, who made the linsuccess- full motion for reconsideration, aTl- nounced that he and other members fthe committee will present plan next week for coupling the with holding tax with the Rumy plan for pay-as-you-go collection of taxes.
 The committee yesterday rejected the proposal of Beardsley Rumy, New York department store execu- tive, to change over from the pres ent system of year-behind tax col- lection to current collection. Rumy would effect this change0ver by writing off taxes on l04l incomes and applying money already paid on these taxes to leyies due on l0A2 income.
 The taxpayed would continue to pay without let-up until his izl- come stopped or he died.
 Taft said he believed the with holding tax should be coupled with the Ruml plan to avoid the "doubl- ing up'' In Income taxes which would

EVICTION ACTION
 IS NOT ALLOWED
Judge Conway Decides Another of Those Pecu-
 liar Rent Disputes

Evidence that a son intended to pay rent to his mother for an apart- ment at 54 Burton street today caused Judge T. E. Conway in muni- cipal court to deny the eviction &C., ton of Mrs. Elizeo Fernandez of A Burton street against Joseph Longo.
 The Office of Price Administration contested the action on the ground that Mrs. Fernandez was display ing "bad faith" by moving to evict MT. Longo for making complaint that the landlady was charging higher rentals than those in effect April 1, 1941.
 Judge Conway decided the case strictly on the rent control regu- lation which provides that a land lord cannot evict a tenant for the purpose of providing Q rent for relative If the relative is to pay rsot Ssa= s...se lremicas,
 Intended to Pay
 He held that the evidence indi- cated clearly that Mrs. Fernandez's son intended to pay rent and that under the regulations his only course of action was to deny the applica- tion.
 Attorney Sidney Cassel, chief at- torney of the local office of the rent administrator appeared in court and took part in opposing Mrs. Fernandez's action.
 The action was the first of its type started in the local court and rent control officials said 1t was
