 McNutt, chief of the national manpower mobilization, said ex- banding war industries will require 17,50O,000 workers by the end of the year. To meet the demand the job market must be made systematic and efficient" the frenzy and frtls- tration of migrant job searches" must be eliminated and plans must be made to send workers to places of greatest need" with 8 minimum of loSS."
 McNutt spoke before the volunteer land corps which seeks 2,000 city residents to work on Vermont and New Hampshire farms during the summer to alleviate a labor short age.
 Praising the plan, McNutt said farm work of a seasonal nature of- fers an opportunity to school stu- dents to do their part in helping to win the battle of production. AL ready, he said, crops are left in the fields because of the labor shortage,

MORE AMERICAN
 SHIPS ARE SUNK.
Two GO Down in Gulf of Mexico Lives Were
 AVSS
Ry Unlted Pregsl

Two more American ships and 8 more lives were added today to the depredations of Axis sub- marines in the Gulf of Mexico.
 One was a medium m-gized cargo vessel. A submarine that the gun crew never saw fired one torpedo into her amidships late on the night of May 12. She burst into flame, and 20 men were burned to death or killed by the torpedo's explosion. Twenty-Five were saved.
 The second was a medium sized merchant ship, which was torpedoed on May B and sank so rapidly there was not time to radio for help. Twelve men died on the ves- sel and one died later in a Hfeboat. Twenty-six were rescued.
 Two survivors of the ship that was sunk on May 12 told at Key West, Fla, how they had taken shelter in the burning vessels fresh water tanks for 12 hours to keep from being burned. Chief Engineer Petro Waldmarsen of Lebanon, N. J., said friend had told him 30 years before about diving into a ships water tanks to- escape being roasted, and when the vessel was torpedoed 1t "came back to me in a flash"
 T saw the raft which we had thrown overheard catch fire in the burning oil," he said. 1T knew that way was too risky. I told the boys that were still on deck to jump be- cause we could go below in the water tank, but Martin (pump man Halmar Martin of New York) was the only one who remained with me-"
 The fire burned out in 12 hours. He and Martin crawled on deck and in four more hours passing nner- chantsman picked them up. They were landed at Key West, and, meanwhile, the other g had been taken to New Orleans.
 Survivors of the second vessel also were landed at New Orleans.

INCOME TAXES TO
 BE MUCH HIGHER
House Committee Expects to Reach Final Decision
 During Day
BY JAMES R. SHEPLEY United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, May 20.-UP)-The House Ways and Means committee expects to reach 8 final decision today on 1942 income taxes, having increased the normal tax rate from four to six per cent.
 The committee had $2,754 ,000, 900 a3 its goal for revenue from income taxes-some $750,000,000 less than the treasury's goal.
 Everyone who earns more than his exemptions-tentatively set for $5c1 for single persons and $l,200 for married couples-must pay the normal tax on taxable income re- gardlesS of the amount.
 Surfaces may start at 12 per cent on the first dollar of taxable income and increase to as high as 85 per cent. That schedule 5 tenta- lively adopted by the lttee but several changes rae to made to- day.
 Committee members interpreted yesterdays action on the surtaX schedules as indirect rejection of President Roosevelt's proposal that no person be permitted to retain more than $25,000 a year after taxes.
 There was no definite way yet to compute the taxes the average American will have to pay on his 1942 income, if the committee pro- gram Is finally approved by the House and Senate. But on the basis of decisions so far a family with an income of 5000 a year and two children would have to pay about $50. Such a family now pays $58.
 The remaining decision on in- come taxes is whether to grant the treasury's request to start collecting part of each taxpayers taxes at the source as soon as the new revenue bill passes. A portion of the tax wage and salary earners would be required to pay next March Is would be deducted from pay checks under this plan. Professional men and other self-employed would pay part of their tax every three months.
 Ways and Means Chairman Rob- ert L. Doughton, D., N. C., said the dollar increase of income taxes over those the taxpayer now must pay would exceed $3,000,000,000 if the requirement. that married couples file joint returns remains in the bill. The committee again voted for such a requirement even trough the House struck the joint return from the 1941 tax bill.

GERMAN OWNED
 PROPERTY SEIZED
Alien Property Custodian Takes Over Bosch Plant
 in Springfield

Washington, May 20.-(UP)-Leo T. Crowley, alien property custod- ian, today assumed control of Americn Bosch Corp. Steel Union, Inc, and five copyrights owned or controlled by German Nationals.
 The action, it was explained, was part of the program to maintain and integrate into the war effort property owned or controlled by for eign interests in this country. Ap- $7,000 100000 in prop erty, cash and securities is owned by foreigners in the country.
 In taking over Bosch Corp, the seized 535,000 shares, 7724 per cent of the stock of the company. This stock is deposited with City Bank Farm CTS Trust Go. of New York as agent for voting trustee and is valued at about $8,000,000
 The Bosch Company is at Spring field, Mass.
 This action, Crowley sad, implies no criticism of the present manage ment or directorate of the corpora tion which has made an excellent record in the war effort. He eX- plained that because of the impor- tant role of the firm in war produc- ton it was in the public interest to take control.
 The action against Steel Union was taken by seizing the assets and 25 shares of stock, representing 100 per cent of the company. Steel Union is a California corporation organized in 1894 to act as selling agent for Stahl Union- Export, the export subsidiary of Vereinigt Stahlwerke, A. G. Both of the lat ter companies have their principal offices in Dusseldorf, Germany.
 The assets of Steel Union con- sists largely of cash and accounts receivable, officials said. However, there is in addition a small but use- full inventory valued at $2,000 of oil well easing and sheet piling caps which will be available for war use.
 The copyrights taken over are on five books which deal with mili- tary and medicinal subjects.

GAS RATTONINC TO
 BE NATIONWIDE
Govt. Officials Practically Decide to Begin RatiOn-
 ing About July 1
BY HELLER KRIEGHBAUM
United Press stan Orrespondent)

(UnlJeU FreSS SCaII OEreSpOnuenL)
 Washington, May 20 = (UP) - Government officials have virtually decided to ration gasoline on a nationwide basis-possibly by July Ito conserve dwindling and ir- replacable rubber stocks, 1t was in- dicated today.
 Arthur B. Newhall, war produc- tion board rubber coordinator, said nationwide gasoline rationing was inevitable before the end of the summer" The office of defense transportation is working on ra- tioning plans which may be pres- ented at the war production board meting Tuesday. President Roose- welt believes the eastern states oil shortage should be treated as a na- tional rather than sectional prob lem.
 Newhall explained that gasoline rationing would be necessary-even in oil producing areas-because the passenger car tires now on hand are all civilians can expect until the war is won. The situation Is so critical the government will step in to insure that the tires on the 30,000000 pleasure cars and 4,000,- 900 trucks and busses are not worn out too quickly.
 Same Basis As East
 If rationing is extended to the entire nation, 1t undoubtedly would follow the same system which goes into effect on a permanent basis July l in the 17-state eastern cur- tailment areas and in Washington and Oregon.
 The new or permanent gasoline rationing system will invovlve ra- tioning back to the refineries, somewhat along the line of the sugar rationing, office of price ad- ministration officials said. That means that the filling station own- CTS would save the coupons taken from a motorists ration card and present them before he could pur- chase more gasoline.
 Although OPA officials indicated that the same rationing regulations would be in force throughout the country, President Roosevelt at a press conference yesterday offered some change that producing areas would be partially exempt. He said he saw no point in restricting such areas but thought there should be some way of equalizing the short age hardships.
 Pitfalls In Sight
 The OPA was understood to be working over it's temporary gaso- line rationing regulations to remove some of the bugs in case broad extensions are necessary. Some pitfalls, however, are apparently unavoidable, officials believe.
 OPA experts have been studying the possibilities of associating dis tribution rationing cards with the payment of $5 USE stamp taxes which became due on motor cars by July 1. It was understood that the post office department had been approached on whether it would cooperate in such a plan but a reply has not yet been received.
 Present plans for the permanent rationing include having the mo- torists fill out another question naire, either at his local rationing board, the local post office or an- other designated registration place. He would obtain one of the five type cards entitling him to varying amounts of gasoline depending up- on his needs.
