DeferInent Proviso
For Married Men
Written Into Law
President Signs Bill
Granting Allowances
To Service Dependents

WASHINGTON, June "a.
(UP) President Roosevelt
today signed a precedent
making bill authorizing de-
ferment of family men until
the reservoir of single men is ex-
hausted and providing financial aid
for dependents of service men In
the four lowest ranks.
The allowances to dependents vary
with the degree of family relation
ship, providing $50 amonth for. a
wife with no children. $62 for 3
wife with one child, and $72 for a
wife and two children. OF this, s22
comes out of the serviceman's pay
check, and the balance is contribute
ed by the government.
For the first time in army history,
the policy of preserving established
families in connection with military
service is authorized by law. Pre-
viously, deferment of men with de-
pendents was based solely on fin
ancial grounds.
HOMES PROTECTED
President Roosevelt will have au-
thority to defer any or all men
with wives or children, or wives and
children, living in home" relation
ship. The President has power to
order such deferments without re-
gard to financial dependency, and
despite the family allowances pro-
vided in the measure.
While the allowances will be con-
Sidered in cases of financial depend
ency, they are not deemed conclus-
lively to be large enough to furnish
sufficient support to warrant up
setting established families.
The act authorizes the drafting
of married men without children
ahead of those who have children
when the supply of single men is
exhausted.
The exact way in which the de-
ferment policy will be carried out
will be defined before long in a
directive from selective service head

ectly or indirectly, and the boost IN
salaries we're voted to take affect
July l. The board OF directors met
Tuesday afternoon.
After July the price of an acre
foot of water will be IS cents in
stead of 62Ka cents, the price charged
since August, 1941. In less than
year the increase has been so per
cent over the so cent charge per
acre foot before last August.
The increase in revenue from
the new water prices will be approx
imately 100000.
The same gate service charge OF
Is cents will be made and once
again the minimum service charge
for water delivery or "stock run,
including gate charge, will be so
cents
For ripes with a diameter of two
inches or less, used to furnish water
for domestic, agricultural, industrial
and commercial purposes, the charge
will be 50 per year. A charge of
$3.50 per year will be made for pipes
with a diameter of over two inches
and not exceeding six inches per
acre served. The minimum charge
will be $l2.30 a year for pipes with
a diameter over two inches and not
exceeding six inches.
Before 1882 the water service was
based en- assessment of five dollars
per hundred dollars but at that
time a change in methods caused
a direct charge on amount of water
consumed.
EXPENSES HEAVIER
Higher cost of essential materials
due to war conditioned prices was
given as the reason for the in
crease over the present prices OF
water. The decision to raise the
salaries of employees down the line
probably had large influence on
the resolution to increase charges.
Nearly $50 district employees will
be given wage increases. the amount
to be determined by the president
of the board, Evan T. Hewes, and
the operating department.
Increase of the cost of living
and the increase in the price OF
farm commodities" was the reason
advanced for the salary changes. 1t
was viewed, also, as an effort to
retain employees who can now earn
more elsewhere.

Committee CHARGES
Communists in U.S..
LibeIing Congress
Five Magazines, Two
Newspapers Named In
Report on Inquiry

WASHINGTON, June "a.
(UP)-The house committee
on un-American activities to-
day accused 20 Communist
front" organizations, five
magazines and two newspapers of
trying to discredit congress.
In a formal report issued by Rep.
Joe Starnes, D., Ala, acting chair
man in the absence of Martin Dies,
D., Tex, the committee said it was
clear that "the spearhead of the
attack upon congress as an institu-
ton stems from group of men
who have had long training and
experience in the theology of Karl
Marx"
The magazines named were Time,
New Republic, Champion, Soviet
Russia Today and New Masses The
newspapers we're PM and the Daily
Worker, both of which are publish =
ed in New York,
Much of the space in the report
was devoted to the union for Demo-
cratic action, which recently col
laborated with the New Republic
in publication of an article entitled
"A Congress to Win the War"
Among those listed as members
of the unions board of directors
was Melvyn Douglas, movie actor.
1.-The only possible conclusion
which can be drawn from the un-
ions position is that it belongs to
that relatively small group of radi-
Gals who are trying to use the war
emergency to advance their own
revolutionary programs within the
United States" the report said.
Alleged Communist-front organ
ization named in the report in ad-
dition to the Union for Democratic
Action were:
American Committee for Democ-
racy and Intellectual Freedom; A
merican Committee for the Protec-
ton of Foreign Born: American
League for Peace and Democracy,
American Student Union; American
Youth Congress-: Conference on Pan
America Democracy; Descendants
of the American Revolution; Friends
OF the Soviet Union; International
Labor Defense; International Work

Governors Oppose
Federal |nroads

ASHEVILLE, N. c., June "a -
CUP)-The national conference of
governors today adopted resolutions
condemning proposed attempts to
federalize state unemployment COM
pensation systems and opposing any
national legislation that would
exempt war plants from state and
local taxes.
The governors also pledged in
another resolution their "apprecia-
ton" to President Roosevelt for his
leadership and pledged fullest
measure" of cooperation in prosecu-
tion of the war.
Another resolution urged that
every individual, soldier or civilian,

day.
Henderson was said TO feel that
eventually it would be imperative
to have funds to back up the price
levels if the cost of living to Ameri-
cans was to remain stable, without
subsidies, Henderson's associates eX-
planned, the best they could do was
to fight a delaying battle against
initiation and hope for an early enc
of the war.
Congress is expected to revive the
subsidy proposal shortly. Now much
money will be needed is a matter
of speculation, although OPA Of
ficials generally agreed that $780,
100000 should be enough for the
first year. The British are spending
about $l,000,000 900 a year, and the
Canadians between $10,000,000 and
$l5,0O0,C00 to keep prices down.
Chief benefactor CT subsidies would
be business and industries suffer
ing from transportation diSlocatlon,
Already the government is absorb
ing additional costs for transport
ing sugar and coal into the north
eastern states, made necessary by
abandoning water transportation in
favor of rail movements.
Reimbursements are expected to
be made shortly to gasoline dealers
in the Atlantic coast areas, whose
transportation costs also have mount
ed. Henderson said $38,000000 in
subsidies would make it possible
to maintain gasoline prices at Narch
price levels.

By July 20+h

WASHINGTON, June "a.
(UP) - Chairman Robert l..
Doughton, D., N. c., of the
house ways and means COM
mittee predicted today that
the new tax bill probably would be
passed by the house by July 20.
Doughton called on President
Roosevelt and discussed with him
the progress of the measure, on
which the committee expected to
complete preliminary action today.
It will set an all-tim revenue-pro-
ducing record even though it is
nearly $4,000 100000 short of the
treasury's goal of S8,700, 100000.
Doughton based his predictions on
