War Strategy

As President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill continu-
ed their Mar strategy conferences
today military experts disclosed
that new surprises In lighting
equipment are in the making IN
America to back up the decisions OF
the war leaders.

confidently predicted.
An indication Of what may be
expected is revealed in two recent
developments. Following the Mid.
way Island victory II was o
ed that new types OF planes had
been used for the first time. 4 car

hour-25 per cent faster than any
ships in service. Its range is ] 400
miles with a bomb-load OF 1000
pounds.
The Army torpedo plane is n
development OF the speedy Martin

ports from Australia said numbers
OF these planes were in service aud

On the solutions OF these pro-
blems depends the final decision
on the question OF when and where
the second front will be opened N
Europe. Responsible sources pre-.
dicted that a decision would be
made within the next ten days.
But it was generally conceded
that British and American troops
could not 20 into action against
Hitler in Europe until sufficient
shipping is available and the Situa.
ton In Libya has been stabilized.
With regard TO Iibys, military
circles said, II Ia no yet clear

U. S. Plans Surprises

Vote Expected
on Deductions
From Salaries
House Debate to
Start July 6

Washington, June 20-lNS-The
House Ways and Means Committee
today moved toward a hnal show
down vote on whether or not a sal.
AIRY deduction plan should be in.
C~orporated into the w%ar-reNenue
bill 10 collect personal income
taxes on a pay.asyou-earn basis.
II is understood that the com.
mittoe will complete It's work on
the bill-now calling for $3.50.
000, 900 In additional federal reve.
nues-by Wednesday, and the par.
liameutary road will be cleared so
the measure can come before the
House for debate by July G.
Treasury experts have placed he.
fore the committee a new plan for
collecting personal taxes at the
source which would ease the bur,
den of having to pay two years
taxes in one year.
II was pointed out that taxes on
1912 incomes will not come due
until March Is. 1912 under present
laws. and should a Withholding tax
be adopted, persons would have to
pay 1912 taxes at the same time
that the government was forcing
weekly salary deductions to apply
against l943 taxes.
To meet this criticism, the Treas.
ury proposed that half of deduc-
ions, which would begin on Jan. /.
next, could be applied against 1912
taxes, and the same procedure may
be followed in 1914. By this meth
cd, the doubling up Of tax payments
would be at least partially avoided,
and the additional years taxes
spread over a two-year period.
Should this plan be adopted, the
federal government would withhold
10 per cent of the estimated tax
able net income OF all personal in
comes. In the case OF salaries
and wages, the 10 per cent would
be deducted each pay day by the
employer and turned directly into
the Treasury. A similar portion Of
dividends and interest on stocks
and bonds would be withheld as
they are paid. In the case of store
owners and other self-employed per-
sons, the 10 per cent would be col
lected every three months.
