 @. Is the work of The American Bible Society still going on in Ja- pan?
 A. During the two years preced- ing Pearl Harbor, Japan was insist ing that all foreign enterprises be taken over by the Japanese. The work of the American Bible Society, and other Bible societies was taken over in 1941 before Pearl Harbor, and is probably still going on under Japanese leaders trained by our missionaries. Christianity is one of the three religions officially recog- nized by the Japanese government.
 @. How are the members of the Canadian Parliament chosen?
 A. The Senators are nominated for life by summons of the Cover nor- General, and members of the House of Commons are elected by the people for terms of five years.

Washington motorists today
faced a possible gasless week end
while members of the petroleum
industry prepared to discuss at
meeting Monday a proposal
that filling stations be closed for
one day, both to relieve the drag
on the waning fuel supply and
to permit attendants to spend
the time collecting scrap rubber.
The proposal for one-day holi-
day at the stations was presented at
a meeting of dealers last Monday.
At that time, opinion on its feast
bility was divided, but the matter
has received serious consideration
since then, leaders said, and has
been given support by the impend-
ing shortage until the supply can
be replenished.
Filling stations which get new sup

CAIRO, Egypt. June 20.-The
Berlin radio claims that NaZis

the Libyan desert was labeled
"a hot weather story by British
armored vehicle officers today.
The story, they said, recurs
every time the temperature
reaches 120 degrees. Captured
German tanks, the officers said,
have fans but no refrigeration
plants.
Another story exploded by the
British was the one about Ger
mans training for desert war
fare in hothouses in Berlin
with big fans throwing sand to
produce desert conditions.
The Nazis get plenty of train

PoyroII Deductions
For Poyine Income
Levy Approved
B, the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means
Committee voted today not to
consider in the pending tax bill
any form of consumption or sales
tax.
Chairman Doughton told news
papermen after a morning session
I'VE decided not to consider in
this bill any consumption or sales
tax"
He said the committee also had
decided tentatively to adopt the
Treasury's scheme of pay-as-you- go
collection of individual income taxes
through pay roll deductions start
ing next January /.
10 Per Cent Deduction From Pay.
In view of the committees decision
against sales tax, the total of the
new bill probably will be approx
mately $3.50, 900 900, compared with
the Treasury request for So, 700 000,-
900. The committee may complete
its work next week.
Sales tax advocates had contended
that such levy should be adopted
to make up the difference between
the total of revenue to be raised
and the administration request
Estimates have been made that a
per cent retail sales tax would
produce 50 500 600 OOO
The so-called withholding tax
contemplates deductions from pay
checks and pay envelopes equal to
10 per cent of an individuals tax
able income-which is net income
minus personal and dependent
credits.
Spread Over Two Years.
Randolph Paul, tax adviser to
Secretary Of the Treasury Morgen-
thau, explained the plan this way in
a statement to the committee:
The taxpayer would be permitted
to credit against his March Is, 1S43,
installment on 1912 taxes, half of
the amounts withheld at source
during January and February. 1943 !;
against his June Is instaument, half
CT the amounts withheld during
March. April and May; against his
September Is installment. half of
the amounts withheld during June,
July and August. and against his
December Is installment, half of the
amounts withheld during Septem-
ber, October and November.
Under this plan, slightly more
than half of the total amount with
held at source during 1943 would be
available in March, 1914, as a credit
against 1943 income tax liabilities.
In this way, the transition to collec-
ton at source would be spread over
the two years, 1943 and 1914"
One Refund Plan Rejected.
Earlier, the committee reiterated
its decision to impose a "a per cent
excess profits tax on corporations,
but appeared hopelessly divided on
the question of a postwar refund
to soften the blow of such a high
rate.
One specific plan for the refund
the details of which the members
said they could not explain-was
defeated and members said fatty
that unless some more workable"
program were brought forward, the
s6,650, 900, 900 tax bill would go to
the House without any such plan.
The committee has decided to
lower the personal exemption of a
single person from $3.50 to $500 and
for married persons from $500 to
$1,000. In addition, it raised the
normal tax rate from to 6 per cent
and the lowest surtax rate from 6
to IL per cent. Experts have esti-
mated that these changes would
produce 81, ,70O, ,0O0, 900.
