Pay-As-Y -You-Go Tax
 Plan Is Advocated
Senator George Urges Principle to Avoid Bankruptcy
 After Present War

after the war" he said. q thinks 1t is imperative to adopt some pay as-you- earn principle to avoid Q dis aster. Unless we do, at the end of the war there will be such q drop of in income as will bankrupt the government and result in terrific de- faulting."
 Asked what the governmentI course should be hundreds of thou. sands" of taxpayers found it nec- essary to default on taxes because of iilsuficient income, George said;
 Tt can't be helped. If hundreds of thousands of taxpayers default ed the government could not afford to destroy the taxpayers"
 George said he regarded adapta- ton of the pay-as-you-go principle one of three essentials in the next tax bill, which he said cannot bI considered before the new congress meets in January. The others, he said, are compulsory savings and if the treasury insists on new addir tional revenue-the sales tax.
 While the sales tax is an lnpopu. lar levy in peace time, George said. 1t might become Q popular wartime tax because of the terrific burden of any type of direct tax" which calls for Q big outlay at q given time.
 1T think" he added, 'that the American taxpayer can stand com pulsory savings in a substantial amount, but not without readjusting individual and corporate rates and fitting them into the compulsory savings program.
 "You can't increase taxes - you can't even keep the high rates of the 1942 revenue bill--and Superim- posing compulsory savings on them without taking bread out of the mouths of lower bracket taxpayers.
 George said that in speaking of a "readjustment" of individual rates he meant an increased dollar outlay by the taxpayers but 0 greater per centage representing savings which would be returned to him after the war, instead of direct tax going into the treasury.

Scrap On Sidewalks
 Advocated NoLonger
Street and Park Department Workers in Final AI-Out
 Metal Effort Today

Employes of the city street and park departments are making a final all-out effort to remove every bit of scrap metal from the street of the city today through the use of all city trucks, after an order by Mayor Vincent A. Scully.
 Considerable scrap was left on streets in many of the outlying dis tricts, and many people have placed more metal on the sidewalks after 1t was already cleared away. Mayor Scully asked no one place any more scrap on the sidewalks.
 Permanent scrap bins will be placed in various parts of the city in the near future. Anyone having scrap metal is asked to hold it and then place it in one of the bins, not place 1t on the sidewalk and await collection. The problem of clearing the city street would be- come Impossible if that was done by many people.
 Mayor Scully hoped today would see all the metal removed from streets. He added nothing is being done about the heavy metal Still in the cellars and atticS of many homes. Most of this scrap must be broken up through the use of acetylene torches, he said. The salvage committee will make ar- arrangements for its removal soon. When acetylene torches are neces- asry, skilled workmen will have to be obtained and the job done under the supervision of the fire depart ment.
 City trucks have been used for some collection work since the great drive on Oct. IT failed to obtain all the metal. A second large col- lection scheduled for last Saturday brought in only 146 tons because of a shortage of manpower and trucks. This made 1t necessary to have an- other great one-day collection to complete the task. It is hoped that today'S collection will prevent any necessity for again asking for vol unteer trucks and workers.
 City employees started working at 2 o'clock this morning to clean up all the metal. The scrap is being weighed at the state scale on South Main street. City Sealer of Weights and Measures William H. Dunlavey, and Deputy Sheriff AL bert Francis are the official weigh masters. They worked in the same capacity throughout the collection campaign.
 From Boston, Samuel P. Doane, regional chief of the industrial sal- wage section, conservation division, War Production Board, announced that 2l0,07l,S71 pounds of scrap metal, rubber and miscellaneous waste materiasl have been salvaged by manufacturing plants in New
