WASHINGTON A senate fl
nance subcommittee Monday
agreed to recommend adoption Of
the Ruml plan for ''forgiving' 1871
individual income taxes in order
to put collections on a current
basis.
Subcommittee Chai T man
Bennett {. Clark, D.. No..
said. however. that no decision
had been reached on whether
10 couple the Ruml plan with
an adaptation of the house
approved plan to collect part
of future income taxes by
withholding them from pay
checks.
The subcommittee had been es-
tablished to study the Withholding
plan embodied in the house bill
and to seek to modify it 10 that
it would not create such a diff
cult bookkeeping task for en-
ployers.
PLAN EXPLAINED
The Ruml plan - sponsored by
J. Beardsley Ruml. New York de-
partment store executive and
chairman of the Federal Reserve
bank of New York-involves a
bookkeeping transaction whereby
taxes owned on income received
in 1941 would be wiped off the
books.
Taxes being paid this year
are on 1941 income, under the
present income tax system.
Rumfs plan would apply these
taxes toward the amount owed
on 1912 income. The final
amount due would be COM
puted next March. In some
cases where income fell off
In 1912, the taxpayer would
find that he paid more than
was necessary and would re-
ceiye a credit from the gov
eminent. In other cases, the
taxpayer might find he still
owed more to the government
in order to get the books even.
The subcommittee rejected the
treasury's proposed substitute for
the Ruml plan, which called for
"forgiving" 1941 taxes up to the
second surtax bracket only.
Under the treasury's plan. tax
payers whose 1871 taxable income
amounted to more than $4,000 still
would have been billed for taxes
on the income in excess of that
amount.

go ahead and elect Mr.. Baker, an
end which seemed inevitable had
the committee not taken q recess
after the second ballot. Had Mr..
Baker been elected, the Willkie
supporters undoubtedly would have
been in a position to claim they
had not only defeated Mr.. Schroe-
der but had elected the man of
their choice.
This group, minority in the
committee. was forced to yield In
the end and to go along with the
election of Mr.. Spangler.
In a great harmony scene, Mr.
Schroeder and Mr. Baker entered
the committee hall side by side, were
recognized together by the retiring
national chairman, Representative
Joseph w. Martin of Massachusetts,,
the House Republican leader, and
announced their withdrawal from
the race, calling on their followers
to support Mr.. Spangler. As a final
gesture Mr.. Schroeder moved that
the election be made unanimous
and by reclamation.
Prevents Break.
With a whoop the Republican
national committeeman and COM
mitteewomen gave their blessing to
this proposal. Mr.. Martin declared
Mr.. Spangler elected and the latter
made brief address expressing his
appreciation of the honor done him
and pledged himself to work for the
success of the party.
So ended fracas which had
threatened to tear the committee
wide open. Some of the members
insisted that Mr.. Schroeder should
be Observation-Disclosures issue or no
In order to spank Mr.. Willkie, who
had raised his voice against Mr..
Schroeder.
The name of former Representa-
tive John B. HOLSTER of Ohio, a law
partner of Senator Taft, was not
presented to the committee, al
though he was the real choice of a
considerable number of the men,
bers for the Craftsmanship. The
argument was made against him
that he hailed from a State which
has a contender for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1914,
Gov. John w. Bricker. Also that
Mr.. HOLSTER had said he would
not be able to give up his law
practice In Cincinnati and make the
national Craftsmanship q full-time
job. -
With the Ohio members Of the
committee supporting Mr.. Schroeder
Senator Taft seconded the Schroe-
der nomination-no other State
stepped forward to place Mr.. Hol-
lister in nomination. The fact that
Gov. Bricker in an interview had
said Mr.. HOLSTER was acceptable to
him as national chairman was used
against Mr.. HOLSTER, too.
