Gen. Eisenhower heard that the
correspondents were not satisfied
with American military censorship
as established here. He asked for
specific complaints yesterday and
discovered that the only hitch re-
suited from the fact that there had
been only two censors, who had been
expected to be on duty "a hours at a

gested that additional censors would
correct the delays and relieve the
two overworked officers.
The general heard the complaints
late yesterday afternoon. This morn

the Army was expanding its use

wider use of civilian equipment in
this patrol, saying that 4,500 planes
were available to track down SUBJ

Senators O'Mahoney, Democrat

the impression that the Army was
increasing the number of planes
on patrol about as rapidly as cir

their own when the bill is brought
up at noon tomorrow.
Despite numerous protests that
the House should have opportunity
to originate additional taxes, there
appeared little likelihood that course
would be followed.
The Ways and Means Committee
formally reported that its bill rep
resented every dollar which, in its
opinion, the national economy can
bear even though the measure
would offset only fraction of the
prospective s56, ,00o, ,o0O, 900 deficit for
this fiscal year.
Earlier Estimate Trimmed.
Although the full-year operation
OF the bill would produce $6,144,0OO
600, the committee said that because
OF deferred tax collections it would
bring in only $4,026, ,000,O 900 by June
80, 1943.
The committee report disclosed
that its week end estimate that
Sc, $50 100000 would be produced by
its bill had been trimmed to
$6,144 900, 900.
Mr.. Knudsen, in speaking of pro-
posed new corporation rates, de-
clared:
'It is no longer secret that the
present formula was arrived at
through a series of trades and
shameless logrolling. In all my
years on the Ways and Means Com
mittee I have never seen anything
like it."
81 Billion Deficit Seen.
The committees report estimated
that the present Federal tax struc-
ture would produce approximately
$4,000 100000 in this fiscal year,
while expenditures have been esti-
mated at s73 zoo, ,0O0, 900 for the same
period and may increase.
Even under these figures, how
ever, deficit of more than $685.
000,000,00O would result except for
the revenues under this bill" the
committee said while the bill is
estimated to produce $6,l44 900 900
in full year of operation, its esti-
mated yield for the fiscal year l943
is s4,O26, 100000.
This will reduce the estimated
deficit from $56.00O 100000 to s52,-
000, 100000 and the expected pub
lie debt of $4,000 100000 as of
June 30, 1943, to sl29,OOO, 900 900.
For the fiscal year l943, with
the revenue added by the bill, Fed
eral tax collections will exceed s21,-
000, 100000 and for a full year of
operation under the bill, will total
$23 ,000, 900 900. This sum, when
added to the annual tax revenues
of the States and local governments
OF approximately $4,000, 900 900, will
make the total tax bill of the Amer

Compromise on Sale
OF Wheat Is Facinq
Showdown in House
Veto Seen If Proposal
For Corn Pority Price
Is Adopted
y, the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
A new compromise in the
deadlock over the Agriculture
Department appropriation bill
faced a showdown in the House
today amid predictions that the
President would veto the pro-
posal If it passed.
Offered by Chairman Cannon of
the House Appropriations Commit
tee. the compromise calls for the
sale of 125,0O0. 900 bushels of Gov
ernment-controlled surplus wheat
at corn parity prices for livestock
feed. This is a sharp departure
from the Senate demand for IS per
cent of corn parity and previous
House insistence that no surplus
wheat be sold at prices below wheat
parity.
Parity is a level calculated to give
crops the same purchasing power
as in previous period, usually 1909
1914.
Roll Call Vote Blocked.
The compromise was approved, 81
to "a, on a division vote in the House
yesterday, but opponents forced
adjournment and postponed roll
call vote until today on the ground
of no quorum.
Despite predictions by some con-
ferees that the proposal would be
accepted by the Senate, Senate Mi
nority Leader McNary and other
influential Senators asserted it
would meet stiff Senate opposition.
Some said they thought the Presi-
dent would veto it. These Senators
declined to be quoted by name.
The administration wants to re-
lease the surplus wheat to feed live
stock for meat needed in the war
program, they said Under the Can
non proposal, they explained, farm
ers would not buy wheat for feed be-
cause they could get corn cheaper.
Corn Selling Below Parity.
Corn parity now is about 81 cents
. bushel and the prevailing wheat
price is around $l.06. Since corn is
selling below parity now, opponents
of the Cannon proposal contend the
compromise is meaningless.
One possibility was that the Sen
ate would refuse to accept the pro-
posal If the House approved it. This
would force appointment of new
conferees to replace those who have
been trying since May to resolve
differences between the two
branches.
Mr.. Cannon said the plan was "a
concession" to the administration
and was about as far as the House
would 60 by way of compromise.
"As matter of fact" he added,
cit goes lot further than many
Of us wanted to go. but for the
sake of breaking the deadlock, we
made the concessions"
