 Cairo, Oct. 15-(UP) = British planes shot down g Axis planes over Malta yesterday for a loss of five of their own, a communique said today.
 Yesterdays victories brought the total number of German and Ital- ian aircraft destroyer over and near the island in the past four days to 83.
 In addition. just as many or more Axis bomberS and fighters were damaged in the same period, since on Monday alone the British off, cially reported damaging at least 50.
 Royal Air Force headquarters here announced that the Axis lost more than 130 flyers during the past three days.
 RAF losses, although the British often were confronted with nus merically superior attacking fUryG, have been extremely small.
 Little damage was inflicted on military targets in the island" the RAF reported, although there were several civilian casualties in two villages

 With the ballot counting less than three weeks away, here is what the rival managers of the senatorial campaigns say today:
 Senator Joseph F. Guffey, Dem- crat, Pa, chairman of the Demo- cratic senatorial campaigns say to- day:
 Senator Joseph F. Guffey, Demo- crat, Pa., chairman of the Demo- cratic senatorial campaign commit tee: we will hold what we've got. We might gain as much as two seats and might lose as much as two seats, but the balance will be about the same"
 Former Senator John G. Town send, Republican, Delaware, chair man of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee: we will pick up seven or eight seats. The general trend at the present time is toward the election of Republi- cans in several states now repre- sented by Democrats"
 Both managers refused to name specific states where they expect shifts in the present party repre- sentation, but the lineup is as fol- lows:
 Democratic candidates are unop- posed in Alabama, Arkansas, Geor- gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. In five other states - Kentucky, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia Republican fore casters privately concede election of the Democratic candidates because these states have been overwhelm- ingly Democratic in recent years.
 Down to 19 States
 That narrowS the battle-ground to l9 states, with 20 seats involved. Of those seats, II are now held by Democrats, eight by Republicans, and one by an independent. the Henates veteran from Nebraska George w. Norris.
 Biggest question mark among the contests is Nebraska, where the last minute entry Of el-year-old Norris made it a -cornered race. His opponents are Poster May, Demo- crat. and Kenneth Wharry. Repub- lican. Sersy of Norris Senate col- leagues - both Democratic and Re- publican - have urged his re.esec- ] ton, and the Democratic urganisa- ten 6 expected to withhold flnan-

sicianS and engineers, and to get other professional edudcation re- Quired for the war effort.
 Since the drafting of 18 and 19- year. olds will drastictlly curtail the functions of educational institu- tions, White said the Army would develop some plan to use those fla cilities to educate soldiers whom 1t decides should have higher educa- tion. He expressed belief that doc tors would be turned out through the Army College Educational Sys- tenn in much less time than the eight years required in most states. Magee will be questioned about that plan today.
 Questions Clarified
 Congress generally believed that the testimony on the new draft bill by Marshall and Stimson yes- terday had done much to clarify the question vital to all Americans what will be the Army's need for manpower at least for the next year and a half?
 Stimson disclosed in the first off cial appraisal of the size of the Army in months that there are 4,250,000 men in the Army now, That figure will be increased to 7,500,000 during 1943.
 Marshall further clarified the dis closure by advising the House con- mittee in the hearings that ran sim- | Y,Ifo ', ao,,cJ1, n11 INfI, riSac of Ho YNitnl Hill that that was the maximum strength for 1943. No one will be able to predict the size of the land and air forces of the Army in 1944, Marshall said, until late next sum- mer.
 Hershey, after warning married men with only dependent wives to prepare to enter the Army, failed to make clear when men with chil- dren might expect to be called.
 q once made a bold guess" he said, "that it would be necessary by the last quarter of next year, but , that was before the Army made the calls as small as they are now" Later he said: T think the pub lie is going to demand that men don't hide behind their wives and children"
 Both the House and Senate com mittees were urged by Marshall to impose no restrictions on the assign ment of 18 and 19-year-old soldiers such as the prohibition against or dering them to combat duty before they have had years training Such a restriction is in the bill in- troduced by May.
 Marshall pointed out that 8 year or more is required to train a new division for combat but that raw men can be shaped up in much less time when they are put into train ing with seasoned troops.
 May said after discussion of the bill with President Roosevelt at the White House that he would not press for adoption of that provision tr l his bill.

collection at the source is essen
tial, not only to serve the conven-
ience of the taxpayer, but also to
make the income tax a flexible in

needs.
Under the original Ruml plan,

source, It viii affect tax collections
Immediately.
THE other major defect in the
original Rumi plan is the clear and
striking injustice Of canceling oil
194l liabilities. Mr.. Ruml would do
this in order that tax payments
made in 1942 could be treated as q
tentative tax on 1912 income. Once
again the objective, namely to bring
all taxpayers current Immediately,
is admirable. But the results are
not.
Many an individual had q higher
income in 1941 than in most other
years Of his life Canceling his 1o4l
liabilities would be pure windfall,
a windfall that would have to be
made up by other taxpayers who
had not been so fortunate. The
men who in 1941 received $500, 900
would have a tax liability of almost
$3.50 900 Cancelled, although his in
come in 1942 and later years may
be much lower and although the
$500 900 may be traceable directly
to the war program.
Moreover, such q taxpayer Is
unlikely to need the cancellation in
order to wipe out his debt to the
Government. Few men who have
such an income are so improvident
as to make no provision for the tax
as the income is received; or are
so unfortunate as to have no sub
stantial amount of capital with
which to wipe out the debt.
ITO meet this obvious defect, the
Treasury has suggested that the
Ruml plan would be greatly i'm
proved If only part OF tax liabilities
be Cancelled, and that, for simplic-
ity, the cancellation refer to 1912
liabilities.
THE part to be Cancelled would
be the entire normal tax-or 4 per
cent at existing rates-plus the first
bracket rate of the surtax-or 6
per cent, at existing rates. The can.
collation. would not. as Mr.. Ruml
enormously stated, apply only to the
first $4,000 of net taxable income.
1t would apply to the entire net
taxable income, but at only the first
bracket rate.
For example, married person
with no dependents with $500, 900 in
come In 1912 would ignoring, for
simplicity, the earned income
credit have a net taxable income
of s498. 500 under existing exemp-
tions. The amount Cancelled would
be 10 per cent of this, or $49, $50 out
of total tax at existing rates of
$345 $50.
"A man with $4,000 income would
have net taxable income of 81, 800.
Again ignoring the earned income
credit. he would have $3.50 cancelled
out Of total liability OF s1,305.

There would be no need of the Ruml

the income of the preceding year
The taxpayer is always in the pro-
cess of catching up with himself
and never succeeding.
THE Ruml plan as originally pro-
posed fails. however, to accomplish
its objectives. A change in names
does not change facts Under the
Ruml plan, the amount paid in 1943
would be called a tentative tax on
1943 income. But it would be COM
puted by assuming that 1943 income
would be the same as 1912 income.
Calling the amount paid in 1943
tentative tax on 1943 income does
not make it tax on 1943 income
if, as in the original Ruml plan,
the amount paid is computed as it
now is on the basis of 1912 income.
I'm many cases, the problem is
made even worse than it now is
since under the Ruml plan a tax
payer will have to settle in the fol-
lowing year for any difference be-
tween his tentative tax and his
actual tax. Mr.. Jones, let us say,
is married with no dependents and
has an income of $4,000 in l94l and
1912, $4,000 in 1943, and $1,000 in
1914.
His tax liabilities at the new
rates passed by the House are 1924
on $1,000 of income and $2,152 on
$10,eO Of income. How much will
Mr.. Jones will have to pay under the
original Ruml plan?

leaving about $3.50 to be paid during
the next two years.
The Treasury's suggestion applies
equally to all taxpayers, but it
does not permit high income tax
payers to cancel their liabilities
under higher surtax rates. AS noted
above, persons subject to these
higher rates are most likely to make
advance provision for taxes, and
hence do not need to have all their
liabilities Cancelled"

Current "In Name Only"

''In 1943, Mr.. Jones pays only
1924 out of $4,000 income-the
same amount he would pay under
existing methods of income tax
payment. In 1914, Mr.. Jones must
pay almost $4,000 out of $1,000
income He has high tentative
tax, because his income was high
In the preceding year. In addition.
he has big adjustment to pay be-
cause his income was low two years
ago.
''This is current tax payment In
name only. True, Mr.. Jones will in
1945 receive credit for his overpay-
ment in 1914. But in 1914 he must
finance this extra payment out Of
his reduced income.
"It is no answer to this example
to say that most taxpayers do not
experience such wild fluctuations in
income. 1t Is precisely such f1uctua-
tions that makes current tax pay
ment necessary and that the Ruml
plan is designed to cure. If every
body's income stayed the same year
