Proposes Alternative Plan
For Taxing Income.
By Thomas r. Henry.

To the Editor of The Star:
Several days ago Senator George pro-
posed that monthly income taxes for
1943 be begun to be collected and that
the 1912 taxes due in 1943 be postponed
until after the war These taxes, If
postponed would be difficult to collect,
would be likely to become a political
football, would sponge off money after
the war which should go into durable
goods replacement, and would serve
even to increase the immediate posi-
bilty of imitation.
There is, however, need for collecting
income taxes monthly and there is diff
Guilty in doing it and in collecting taxes
for the past year at the same time. In
order that taxes may be collected
monthly next year and that something
may be done at the same time to drain
off surplus money I propose:
l. That persons whose Federal in
come taxes are below $1,000 for 1912 be
given the choice of paying them in
buying War bonds equal to twice the
amount of the taxes. These bonds
should not be redeemable until months
after the war;
2. Persons with over 81 900 due in taxes
should be required to pay them.
Such scheme would:
l. Make it possible to start the
monthly plan at once.
2. Be an anti-inflationary boon, spong-
ing up the money in the hands of the
masses of people where the greatest in
f1ationary tendency lies.
g. Give the masses of people reserve
cash fund which could be used to pur-
chase durable goods at the close OF the
war. J. PAUL LEONARD

As Cordell Hull looks out of the windows of hs of flee he sees trees being trucked away from the park just south of the State Department, and steam-shove digging foundations for something.
 kbitzer watching the steamshovel shouted to the operator: What's going up here?'
 T don't know,' he replied. T heard anybody say' And he resumes the business of digging up the park The answer is that barracks to be built here to house soldiers detailed to guard the White House State Department, and Treasury buildings. At present, the men have to come all the way from Fort Myer ac- ross the river.
 Thanked by the State Department, the White House, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the lawns that sweep up to the Washington Monument these will be the most exclusive and richly located quarters in Washing ton Many high powered business man turned away from the best hotels would give his shirt for bunk in such a spot.

DETERRENT CASES
 WILL BE CHECKED

WASHINGTON, June - Sen ator Willard Tydings, Democrat of Maryland, chairman of the special Senate committee on Sel ective Service recommended that the Seleet.vc Service System check up on the draft deferment given 1000 young male employ ees of the federal government in Washington. D. C. He said his committee was considering the holding of open hearings on the question of draft deferment be- cause of federal employment.
 Senator Tydings said that the deferring of defense workers from selective service among federal government employees has been generally free from abuse.
 There have been reports.' he declared that mass deferments from military service were be- ing granted to a large number of government departments and agencies.
 It has been a rather hearten- ing revelation to find that on the whole the priviledge of request ing and granting defermen: from military service to person nel in the national government has not been abused.
 Tt Is true that in a few cases a large number of employees have been deferred from the draft but when the committee scrutiniZed the reasons for these deferments it was found general ly that they were warranted
 Tydings added that some cases where deferment was not reason able had been uncovered
