Roosevelt Says Reason Is France Under Nazi

WASHINGTON, July 9.-As long as the French are under German domination, President Roosevelt reported at a press conference today, the United States cannot re- cognize the French Committee for National Liberation or any other organization or governing power of France.
 The President said he did not think the time had come for the question of recognizing the com- mittee and observed that currently there is no France except about 5 percent outside of occupied France.
 He said he and Gen. Henri Honore Giraud talked over var ious military problems at lunch yesterday.

In his talk before the COM
mittee, Mr.. Baertschi at
tackled the administration of
Governor John Bricker, who has
piled up large surplus in the
state treasury for purpose, and
had prevented these large sums
from going into the channels, the
schools and political subdivisions
for which they were originally in
tended.
Long an advocate Of tax re-
forms, Mr.. Baertschi said that if
he was elected governor, be would
force passage of an equitable
system of taxation based upon the
ability to pay. He termed the Ohio
sales tax as "an extreme income
tax upon the poor and a limited
income tax upon the rich.
Promises Aid to Schools
Asserting that he was very
serious about the governorship
and intended to make a real fight
for the Democratic nomination in
the spring primary, Mr.. Baertschi
stated that he would distribute the
10 million dollars of Ohio's sur
plus to the schools and local sub
divisions for the retirement Of
bonded debts. He stated that To-
ledo had over-expanded its public
school system and said that the
bonded debt of the Toledo public
school system was greater than
that of Cleveland which was a
much larger city than Toledo.
Mr.. Baertschi stated that as a
member Of the state senate, he
had always been a strong ad-
vocate for labor and he pointed
out that he had discovered do
kers" in legislation which would
have been harmful to labor, ~hen
state labor leaders had missed the
hidden clauses which would have
handicapped the workers.
Condemn Pension System
Roundly condemning the state
system of aid for the aged which
he termed, "disgraceful aims to
the aged" Mr.. Baertschi said
that Governor Bricker had per-
mitted the confiscation of the

Two Rail
Unions Call
Off Strike

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a (FP)
Efforts by President Roosevelt
to avert a nationwide railroad
strike voted by 20 brotherhoods to
take effect Dec. 30 were partially
successful Dec. "a when leaders of
two important unions of rail-op-
Grating workers called off the
walkout and promised to accept
arbitration of their pay demands.
The initial break in the hitherto
solid ranks Of the rail union exec
utives occurred after a meeting of
the big Five" leaders with the
President at the White House. A.
F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and Alvaney
Johnston of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, both inde-
pendent unions, emerging from the
White House, made known their
decision to call off the strike.
Is Bad News
Their message is bad news for
Hitler and Hirohito," Whitney an
nounced. Whitney and Johnston
estimated that more than half the
operating workers are members of
the two organizations.
Still adamant at the time in
their warning that strike on
Dec. 80 would accompany failure
to grant the wage demands were
President H. NJ. Fraser of the
Order of Conductors, T. c. Cashen
of the Switchmen's Union of
North America and David B. Rob-
ertson of the Brotherhood of En-
ginemen and Firemen.
To Rely Upon Arbitration
Whitney's decision to rely upon
arbitration for solving the unions
demands was taken during the
White House meeting, it was
learned.
The BRT's members, he de-
clared, understood the seriousness
of the problems confronting the
Government and that we had no
desire to embarrass the Govern
ment or retard the prosecution of
the war in any way" Whitney
expressed confidence in the Presi-
dents fairness as final arbitrator
of the dispute.

CIO Hits
Infection
Theory

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 (FP)
The theory of the "inflationary
gap"-used by some economists to
oppose wage increases was
riddled by the CIO Economic Out
look in its November issue.
Discussing an estimated $780,
in unspent income said to
have piled up during the second
quarter of 1943, the Outlook said:
mo sensible person can deny that
this large and increasing pool of
unspent income is potential
threat to prices but, it added,
fears that the money would be
spent and would drive up prices
have not been realized.
"The inflationary gap proved to
have little sting" it continued.
Gradually, the fact is being borne
in upon the alarmists that, as Mr..
Randolph Burgess says, Initiation
is not a direct product of excess
money; it is product of human
behavior. Money does not become
wild by itself. 1t could be danger
Gus only when used wildly by the
people who have it; and the sig
nificant thing that is happening
now is that with some conspicu-
Gus exceptions, the financial be-
havior of the great bulk of our
people has thus far been charac-
terized by common sense"

Smifh-ConnoIly
Law Boomerdnqs

NEW YORK, Dec. "a (FP)-
Wall Street has taken time out to
add up the score on half-year's
operation of its little favorite, the
Smith Connally Law.
In a critical analysis of the
laws first six months, The Wall
Street Journal, spokesman for fl
nance capital, said Dec. % that
the law fashioned by Congress in
an anti-labor mood is paradox
cally turning out to be more useful
than restrictive to labor unions" "
1t adds:
"There has been an increase in
the number of strikes rather than
a decrease. Minority labor groups
foment strikes and unrest, making
it more difficult for majority
groups to maintain union disci-
pline."
The Journal quoted "top labor
as saying that there are
more strikes since the Smlth-Con-
nally act than there were in the
period. The story said;
"The national labor organiza-
tons - the AFL and the CIO =
fought the Smith Connally meas
ure while it was pending in Con-
gress. They say they still don't
like it."

consuming job, according to those
who have studied the new income
tax blanks. Tax office officials es-
innate that making out the form
will require at least 10 minutes,
with most returns requiring more
time. Because of the shortage of
help in the Internal Revenue De-
partment, officials are urging that
those making returns not wait un-
til the last minute to seek assist
ance, unless they are prepared to
spend many hours standing in line
waiting their turn to get the nee
essary aid.
Anyway you look at it, 1914 is
going to be busy year for the
tax collector and the taxpayers,
and the best way to avoid a lot
of grief is for the taxpayers to get
ready at the earliest possible time
to make out their returns.
A series of articles will be car
ried in this paper on income tax
returns by an authority on the
subject which viii begin with next
weeks issue. Workers are urged to
read the articles carefully.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1943-12-31

If you had a headache in
other years making out your
returns, you might as well
buy yourself an extra hundred as
pirin tablets and prepare at the
earliest possible moment to render
an accounting to the government,
because this years form is more
complicated than ever, requiring a
much longer time to make out
than those of previous years.
Officials in the Federal Build
ing Internal Revenue Department
are urging everyone to make out
his returns early, beacuse, they
point out, many people who have
overpaid their taxes will get their
refunds sooner if they make their
returns early.
Tax forms 1040 and 1040A will
be mailed out to all federal income
tax payers shortly after Jan. 1.
Form 1040 must be used by those
whose incomes are in excess of
$4,000 annually, while Form 1040A
is used by those whose incomes are
below $4,000.
Filling out the forms is time

volving the government in endless
litigation and preventing it from
getting its money back for years
to come.
The amendments, Morgenthau
said, "open the way to truly ex-
tortionate profits. ! predict that
if they are enacted into law they
will come back to plague not only
the congress but the war goods
manufacturers who get temporary
gain from them"
The "smartest thing thing busi
ness can do, he added, is to leave
the renegotiation statute alone,
unless business executives want
to spend the rest of their lives on
the Hill before investigating COM
mittees."
Meanwhile, constitutionality of
the renegotiation act was chal-
lenged in a petition filed in su-
preme court by the Alliance Brass
& Bronze Co. of Alliance, o., to
prevent the War Department from
proceeding with renegptiation of
the company's 1912 contracts. The
law is invalid, said the petition,
because it confers on executive de-
partments or administrative tri-
bunals "the power to make deter
of all matters in rela-
ton to what may constitute reas-
enable profits"
