CAPITOL SPOTLIGHT
BY FRED ADLER

Jewish, Negro and alien workers.
Even the government employment
bureaus have lent tacit support to
these unsavOry practices by agree
ing to send only "White" or only
christian" Or only american"
workers when the employers so
requested.
To Jews the story of employ
ment discrimination is not al new
one. The query "RELIGION-"
on most employment blanks has
long been a bugaboo of qualified,
efficient Jewish workers, who
knew that writing Jewish" in the
blank most often meant no job.
Similarly, and even to a greater
extent, the Negro population has
come against the same barriers.
In times of peace such practices
in a democratic country were in
defensible. In time of war they
are reasonable. Every soldier
who dies in the Philippines, in
Russia, i'm China or anywhere
else on the far-flung battle front,
because employers would not hire
Jews, aliens or Negroes to build
the weapons of war, has been the
victim of treachery as surely as if
an enemy spy had slipped within
his ranks and shot him from be-
hind.

Something approaching a bomb
shell was tossed into the crowded
congressional field this week by
the report Thad Moore, State Tax
Commission Chairman, was giving
serious consideration to seeking a
Democratic congressional nomina-
tion this year. In previous cam
paigns Mr. Moore has received sub
stantial support from farmer, la
Dor, veteran and liberal groups.
Hal Mitchell, executive secre
tary to Gov. Osborn, started some
thing when he accused highway

Jerrie w. Lee, Republican guber-
Material nominee.

"In that campaign Mitchell. af-
ter having handled publicity for

Some political dopesters are
predicting as few as 10000 votes

al nomination in Arizona this year
as two viii be chosen at large by
the electorate. This estimate is
made on the presumption the to-

divided.
Three candidates, who are seek.

year, have in the past polled more
than that number. They are Rep.
John r. Murdock, REM l.. Jen-

Several observers have been of
the opinion that voters generally
would cast ballots for one candi-
date from Maricopa county and one
from the outside. On the assump-
ton quite few candidates would
be from Maricopa and perhaps
only one or two from the outside,
these observers predicted the

Kaiser Report 'UnfoyorobIe,
Not Necessarily Fatal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the AsSociated Press.
-Four aircraft industry men who
were asked by WPB Chairman
Donald M. Nelson to look into Henry
J. Kaiser's plans for building giant
cargo planes have filed a report
which WPB spokesman described
today as somewhat unfavorable,
but mot necessarily fatal"
The spokesman, who withheld use
OF his name, made it clear that the
WPB chairman would reach no de-
cision on Mr.. Kaiser's proposal until
he had conferred with the West
Coast shipbuilder and mdustrialist
here next week.
Howard Hughes, aircraft designer
and speed flyer who has entered
into a partnership with Mr.. Kaiser,
is expected to accompany him here.
The report, filed by Glenn Martin.
Donald Douglas, Jack Northrop and
Grover Looming, has not been made
public, but the WPB spokesman said
1t expressed good deal of doubt as
to the feasibility of the Kaiser plan.
Mr.. Nelson has asked Mr.. Kaiser
to bring him a report showing his
ability to obtain necessary materials
without materially affecting the
present program for military planes.
In deciding on the proposal, it was
said, the WPB will regard the
report by the four member industry
committee as "one of several pieces
of evidence" that 1t alone "by no
means" settles the question.

BERLIN (From German Broad

Revival Of RumI Plan
Predicted by Members
Of Senate Committee
Originator Of Proposal
Nay Be Recalled by
Group, Clark Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Revival of the Ruml "pay-as-
you-go" plan for collection of in
dividual income taxes was pre-
dicted today by some of it's sup
porters on the Senate Finance
Committee.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of vir-
ginia said he understood that
Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York
and originator of the plan, would
be available for consultation with
committee members next week when
they approach decisions on indi-
vidual rate schedules in the bill.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri, added that he believed the
committee might call Mr.. Ruml for
further explanation of his plan, to
which Treasury officials have en-
tered some objections.
AS outlined, the Runl plan would
cancel all 1941 income taxes and
apply payments made this year to
1912 taxes. Thus taxpayers would
be paying their income taxes on a
current basis rather than running
behind.
Spending Tax Decision Delayed.
Continuing this system thereafter,
the taxpayer would compute his
actual income at the end of the year
and make adjustments, adding the
necessary amount to satisfy his
liability to the payments he already
had made or receiving rebate.
The Treasury has suggested that
only the 1941 taxes on the normal
and first bracket surtax earnings be
excused, and that persons in the
higher brackets of income be given
two or three years in which to pay
this back tax while making pay
ments on the current years income.
The Finance Committee, after six
hours of discussion yesterday, put
off until Tuesday any decision on
whether it would accept a Treasury
proposal for spending tax or
countersuggestions for retail sales
taxes.
Chairman George said he was
confident vote could be taken
Tuesday and work completed on
the revenue bill by the end of the
week. AS the bill now stands, it
would increase present taxes by
$5,27l 900 900 yearly, or 81 900 900 900
short of increases previously voted
by the House.
Payroll Tax Proposed.
A proposal to couple per cent
retail sales tax with S per cent
payroll levy to raise $500, 900 900
annually was advanced by Senator
Guf1ey, Democrat, of Pennsylvania.
Senator Guffey told reporters he
planned to force a showdown at the

0PA Obtains Consent

From Exceeding Price
Muximums on Steel
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 5.-The
Office of Price Administration
today obtained a consent decree
permanently enjoining Henry j.
Kaiser's West Coast shipbuilding
concern from paying above-ceil-
ing prices for steel.
The OPA had complained that
the Kaiser Company bought 5o4, 900
pounds of steel in a lot from Cleve-
land firm and that price maximums
were evaded by having the steel
shipped in less than carload
amounts. Lots amounting to less
hanocarloads take higher price. -
{ Judge Robert N. sWilkin, in issu-
ing the decree, noted that while
the Kaiser Company assented to the
injunction, it docs not admit any
wilful violation of price regulations,
: Judge Wilkin observed the COM
plant did not charge the Kaiser
Company with profiteering or with
any waste of public funds or critical
materials. and no such charges were
intended by the complaint"
The Builders Structural Steel Co.
Of Cleveland, the concern which the
OPA suit said had shipped the
Kaiser steel, is under a restraining
order issued August ~. This will
remain in effect until Wednesday,
when attorneys will try to agree to
a preliminary injunction which in
turn will hold until the suit can be
heard on its merits in respect to the
Cleveland company.
Mr.. Kaiser was not in court, but
he stated last week that neither
