Both Republicans, Demo. crats Favor Current
 Basis Payments
Ny JOHN L. CUTLER (Uhlted Press Stafl Correspondent)


 Washington, Dec, S0-tUPl-En- aetment of some form of pay-as- you-go Income tax Legislation before the March i5 payments are due was anticipated today by some members of Congress,
 Growing sentiment in favor of placing income tax collections on a current basis, similar to tho Ruml plan discussed by the last Congress, was found among both Republicans and Democrats,
 Sen, Robert M. LaFollette, Prog. Wis, ranking minority member of the senate finance committee, said speedy action is so imperative that the matter would Dc acted upon in dependently, without waiting for general tax legislation which may not reach Congress until next spring.
 "This is going to prove such an important problem that something is going to be done," LaFollette said. And support for some such plan will grow as the ides of March draw near"
 Behind the growing sentiment for such legislation, according to congressman. are these features:
 1. The new tax schedules enc acted by the 77th Congress extend to the lowest income brackets and impose the heaviest burden in history, bringing In thousands who have heretofore paid enly small amounts or no federal in- come taxes at all.
 2. With rising living costs, war bonds purchases, other new taxes, etc., individuals have not had an opportunity to save In anticipation bf the payments due March l5.
 3. Unless there is some meas- ure of relief the treasury may be confronted March IS with un- precedcnted defaults.
 {. Government revenue to finance the war would be helped by applying the new tax rates to the generally higher 19AS incomes. Chief stumbling block to revival of the plan offered the last session by Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, appeared to be it's technical forgiv- ing of taxes on le42 income. Some members believed that objection. raised at the time by the treasury department. might be overcome by permitting Q long-term amortiza- ton of the lD42 taxes while plac- ing all future collections on a cur

Many Homes Without Heat; Roads Are Made
 Impossible HOUSATONlC, NAUGY RIVERS RISING FAST
 ~@@ 300 Phones Out in City; 10 Communities Hard.
 est Hit

The worst ice storm that western Connecticut has suffered in many years today had deprived. hundreds of homes of electric and tele- phone service with prospects that the situation would grow more serious before the freezing rain ends. A num- Der of Litchfield County towns were without utility service of any kind; scores of families with electric operated oil furnaces were without heats roads were almost impossible be- cause of glazed surfaces; and fall. ing limbs, trees and service p0les were making the situation worse by tho hour.
 State police reported that the Aousatonic river was rising rapidly as Q result of the tour-day rain and sleet storm, The Naugatuek river was also climbing at a fast pace but no early danger appeared
 Waterbury Esoapes
 Waterbury escaped the worst Of tho storm, only Q portion of tho rain freezing here. All highways and most streets In the city area were still open. However, ice- weighted limbs broke to deprive many Waterburians of light and telephone service. Electric service in the Bucks Hili section was hard hit. and about 800 phones in tho Waterbury Telephone Exchange were out os service.
 The weather bureau predicted that the rain would end tonight. but unchanged temperatures may mean much more freezing before the storm subsidies.
 William T. Jehb, district manages for the Connecticut Light &c Power O., reported this afternoon that Prospect and the Hitchcock Lalxa section of Wolcott were without elec- trio service. The same was true of many parts of Watertown, Morris and other communities. 2 Electric service conditions in northwestern Connecticut, served by other companies, were reported even worse, while in this area num- erous power breaks were reported from Middlehury, Bethany, Wood bury and other towns.
 s,000 Phones Out
 Douglas Loring. local manager for the Southern New England Tele- phone Co, said that 1000 phones were out of service in the state, many of them in the Waterbury~ Western Connecticut area. The situ- ation was growing worse instead of better as the day wore on, he said, despite the efforts of augmented repair crews.
 The Connecticut Light & Power Go. had repair crews rushed into this section from other parts Of the state not SO hard hit by the storm. Other companies had crews coming from as far as Philadelphia.
 Tn the city proper, travelling cone ditions today were not as hazardous as during earlier storms of the win- ter. The rain was not freezing, for the most part, but 1t was feared that 6 drop of a degree or two in the temperature would tie up local traffic and communications.
 War Plants Protected
 MT. Jebb said that Connecticut Light & Power Go. crews had been able to keep service uninterrupted for war production plants in this area.

nv the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 24.-One result
achieved by Harry L. Hopkins on
his recent visit to London was
elimination OF the tangle over war
plane notifications which at one
time nearly caused United States
manufacturers to refuse British or
ders. the Daily Mail said today.
Because of the settlement, deliver
les of planes to Britain will be
speeded up considerably, the Mails
air correspondent wrote.
Mr. Hopkins. lease-lend super
visor and member of the War Pro-
duction Board. now Is back In the
United States.
The tangle over plane modifica-
tions originated early in the war.
The types first delivered were more
or less experimental and the British
decided they needed extensive
changes for active service-such as
additional gun turrets.
Even after the American manu-
facturers began to meet the British
requirements. however, the Mail
said, large establishments which
the Air Ministry built up to handle
notifications continued to insist
on many alterations which experts
said no longer we're necessary.
The notifications continued to
be made, for instance, to Catalina
flying boats. even after these long
range planes had seen grueling
service In the United States Navy
and had flown 1000 miles in the
course OF delivery here"

War Need Is Pleaded
AGAINST Antitrust
Suits, Arnold Says
Some Consent Degrees
Not So Good as Others,
Officiol Comedies
B, the Associated Prsss.


Assistant Attorney General
Thurman Arnold testified today
that some large corporations had
used an argument OF interference
with the war effort to obtain de-
lays or favorable consent decrees
in antitrust cases.
The director OF Government anti
trust prosecution frankly conceded
to the Senate Patents Committee
that some of the recent consent de-
crees ending antitrust cases were
subject to criticism.
Senator La Toilette. Progressive, of
Wisconsin. referring to Mr.. Arnold's
previous testimony that production
Of mAgnesium-light metal vital to
the war effort-had been restricted
In this country under a monopoly
based on patent pool agreement
between the Aluminium Co. of Amer
lea and German interests, said, This
is the worst case of its kind I've
ever seen"
Mr.. Arnold said he did not regard
the consent decree ending the mag
nesium antitrust charges against
Alcoa and Dow Chemical Co. and
affiliates as good a decree from the
public viewpoint as one obtained
against Standard OIL Co. Of New
Jersey and afiiliates dealing with
synthetic rubber and alcohol.
wouldn't Settle G. 4. Case.
The antitrust chieftain then said
he had been unwilling to accept Of
fers Of General Electric Co. for set
tlement of an antitrust action in
volving lighting patents that gave
&c. E. dominant monopoly for du-
ration of the war"
Mr.. Arnold testified that G. Z.
and other large corporation ofiicials
had protested against trying anti
trust cases on the grounds that the
war effort would stop" If ofIicials
and key employees were forced to
spend their time In court defending
against the Government prosecution
Senator La Toilette broke in to
point out that although General
Electric could not take time to de-
fend against the Government case
1t was pressing ahead with a patent
infringement of its own against an
other Arm involving flourescent
lighting.

Committee asked with irony IF

ting her that his sparkle, his wit
and his good looks had been only an
escape for her. release from the
unpleasantness Of the past year.
Molla got to her feet. her face
white. She looked at Tay. but she
didn't see him. All those things she
wanted to tell him, but the words
wouldn't form on her lips. Instead,
she rushed past him, grabbed her
hat and coat and almost ran from
the Office.
Miss Crump watched her go, then
went up to Tay. Did you send Miss
Glendon out on an errand, Mr..
Whitworth ?" she asked cautiously.
mo. No, didn't" he said slowly,
gazing over Miss Crump's shoulder
at the door. Then he walked over
to Enid Blair's reception desk near
the door. did Moila say where she
was going when she went out Of
here?"
Enid gave him a long look and
shook her head. "No, and I didn't
like the way she went out Of here,
for your information"
Molla was thankful for the gust
OF cold air which hit her as she
came out Of the building and onto
the street. 1t was good wind, fresh
and singing. She decided to walk
for while. She had to think and
think clearly. The fact that she had
left the Office without permission
was quite Insignificant at the time.
Molla crossed over to Madison
avenue. She looked at the big, red
faced policeman at the center Of
the intersection. He reminded her
Of the apothecary at their favorite
drug store in Oslo.
When Molla did not return, Miss
Crump went over to her desk and
picked up the sheaf Of papers
Molla had been tipping. Methodical-
ly she started to sort them. She
stopped suddenly and looked care
fully at one Of the sheets Molla
had been copying. Miss Crump took
the sheet and hurried into Burton
Whitworth's Office.
Burton Whitworth was visibly
startled when Miss Crump showed
him the paper. I've never seen this
before she said, but it looks as
thought looks as though some
thing like this shouldn't be tossed
about so openly"
Il certainly agree" he replied
grimly. How did she get it,"
1T was among the statements
you handed me for re-copying."
Good lord" he muttered. That
was my own error. Somehow the
original never should have J IN in
cluded. 1t must have been lying on
my desk and scooped II up by mis-
take. kr-Miss Crump, did you
read this sheet?"
Just briefly. sir. to see what II
was. must confess. though. that
while It looked important it didn't
make much sense"
That win be all. Miss Crump.
Thank you"
He shook his head and muttered
TO himself when she had left. The
paper before him. the one Of which
Molla Inadvertently had made sew
eral copies, was the formula for the
new Whitworth concrete.
