reached was emphasized by the
participation of high war officials
of both Britain and Russia.
On the British side were Gen.
Sir Alan Brooke, Chief of the I'm
perial General Staff and Gen. Sir
Archibald Wavell. British Command
er-in-Chief in India.
On the Russian side was Marshal
Klementi Voroshilov, veteran leader
of the Red Army.
No hint of the nature of the
specific decisions reached at Mos
COW was contained in the official
announcement. But it was obvious
that the entire field of the war
had been scanned.
Presumably the British and Rus
sian leaders carefully examined the
Red Army's ability to continue to
hold the German forces at bay and
all measures which might be taken
by Russia's allies to relieve the
crushing Nazi pressure which has
now carried German arms to the
foothills of the Caucasus.
Participation of General Wavell
suggested that the question of pos
sible Allied reinforcements moving
up through Iran to aid in the de-
fense of the Caucasus may have
been considered

Henry Morgenthau's principal tax
adviser, told the finance committee
last month that this will not
change the amount of revenue. p.
This is not an additional tax, a
withholding tax, it is a collection in
advance"
Sens. Robert A. Taft. r.. O., and
Harry F. Byrd, D. Va, however,
have contended that the levy would
in reality raise new revenue by
forcing taxpayers to double up on
their payments.
WOULD CANCEL YEAR II
Clark said he was thoroughly in
favor of putting taxpayers on
current basis but thought this could
be done without double" taxation
simply by writing off 1912 taxes
and starting 1943 with a clean slate
Under such "pay-as-you-go" plan,
advanced by Beardsley Ruml, pres
ident of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York, and backed by many
committee members, income taxes
paid next year would be called 1943
taxes, instead of constituting pay
ments on 1912 earnings as the pres
ent law provides
Clark's committee has recessed
until Wednesday in order to give
treasury officials an opportunity to
furnish further data on the source
collection plan. The full committee,
which concluded public hearings
/ last week, has also recessed until
next Monday while treasury and
committee experts catch up on
technical work. ~
Over the weekend more was
heard on the subject of making the
pending tax bill last for more than
?ear. Byrd said that congressional
assurance that new tax program
will not be written Immediately af-
ter the pending one is passed would
be very substantial contribution
to the war effort" He favors max
ing the present bill broad enough
to last for two or three years
George recently advocated that
tax bill be written now that would
last for the duration"

is attached to an Army tank divi-
ion. He and Miss Herlihy we're to

in hidden" revenue. Clark's COM
mittee is scheduled to resume con-
sinderation Wednesday of the treas
ury's proposal to collect income
taxes at the source by deducting
five per cent from each wage-ear
er's pay check after allowing for
personal exemptions.
Although the subcommittee was
appointed to study methods of SIM
plifying the complicated payroll de-
duction plan, it was reliably pre-
dicted that 1t would recommend
scrapping it altogether
THREE IN TWO
Clark said today that while he
had a completely open mind" on
the Withholding tax, he was strong
ly opposed to the principle of put
ting taxpayers on current basis
by forcing them to pay three years
taxes in two years, as provided by
the house bill
According to the terms of the
bill, he said, the treasury next
year would take "a per cent out
of the first dollar of taxable in
come-l9 per cent in regular income
taxes on 1912 earnings and five per
cent to be applied to 1943 income
taxes.
In 1914 the withholding rate
would be raised to 10 per cent, but
the impact would be somewhat cas-
ed by the fact that individuals
would already have paid a sub
stantial share of their l943 income
tax.
NEW REVENUE
Clark said that although the
treasury estimates $1,250.000, ,00O
will be raised by source collection
of income taxes, treasury officials
have never admitted that the tax
would produce new" revenue and
have not included it in the So
271 100000 which the house bill is
expected to yield.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. IL -
UP)-The navy announced to-
day that 1t. Ernest Dewitt Cody,
%. and Ensign Charles E. Adams,
Ss. both veteran pilots, were mis-
sing under unexplained circum
stances from a navy patrol blimp
that glided with motors dead to
crash landing in a DAILY City
residential district yesterday.
SAN RANCISCO, Aug. l7-CUP1
Naval authorities sought today
to unravel the mystery Of a rider
less blimp which. after scraping
house-tops and losing one of two
high-explosive depth charges,
crashed yesterday in a DAILY City
street.
The two crewmen still were mis-
sing today and a search was under
way for them at sea and ashore
Their parachutes we're neatly rack
ed in the blimp's gondola and their
life raft was still attached.
1t was assumed both men were
wearing their Mae West" life jack
cts which would keep them afloat
if they were in the ocean.
A spokesman said the navy was
completely without clues as to what
had happened. ANY speculations as
to what happened is just that
speculation" the spokesman said.
ROUTINE PATROL
The blimp was engaged in a rou-
tine offshore patrol. 1t carried
radio but no messages were receiv-
ed to indicate that the craft was
in difficulty.
Reports that men were seen para
chuting were received from various
sources but none was confirmed.
Ida Ruby. telephone operator who
was riding horseback near the beach,
saw the blimp drifting in from the
ocean. She said she watched it
with binoculars and was quite sure
she saw three men in the Con-
dola.
The navy said it had confirmed
that only two men were aboard. al
though there were three parachutes
in the racks.
BLIMP FILDING
Il noticed the blimp out over the
water" Miss Ruby said 1T was
very low and could plainly see the
letters spelling out NAVY Then
I noticed that the letters "N' and
"a" had disappeared and that the
entire blimp seemed to be folding
into a rough V-shape.
ut was drifting in toward the
beach with the wind. watched it
with binoculars and was quite sure
/ could see three persons in the
cabin
THE blimp passed over me and
could see the wheels Craze a small
peak. Then we heard the sirens in
DAILY City"
DAILY City is a suburb about five
miles down the peninsula from Cen
tral San Francisco.
STRIKES WIRES
The blimp slithered across a
housetop, tangled electric wires and
caused a great flash as they were
short-circuited. then collapsed in
the street. The gondola came to
rest at a steep angle with the en-
gines smashed against the street.
