FIGHT ON TAX
 PLAN ASSURED
Democratic Republican Negotiations on Com.
 promise Collapse
BY TONY SMITH United Press Staff COrrespondentI

United Pr0ss Staff COrrospondentg
 Washington. April a. = CUp) - Another fight on the house floor over, the carlson version of the Ruml "rskip-a-year" tax plan was assured today following collapse of Democratic Republican negotiations on Q pay-as-you-go compromise.
 Representative Frank Carlson R., Kansas, said he would reintro- duce his proposal for total forgive. ness of Q years income tax pay" ments and present it to the house aS Q substitute for whatever meas ure the Democratic majority of the Ways and Means Committee recoua- mends.
 The way for such Q move was pre-. pared last night when ranking mem. bers Of the committee agreed to drop their compromise efforts and let the full house decide the issue. Under the arrangement, both parties will submit new bills Incorporating their views on the pay-as-you- question. Whichever side loses the fight for adoption by the ways and means committee will be given an opportunity to offer substitutes on the house floor.
 Indications are that the Repuhl. can leadership win make another fight for the Carlson bill and switch to their compromise proposal fol 75 per cent forgiveness if it fails.
 Ways and Means Chairman Rob. ert L. Doughton, D., N. C., said the Democrats intend to offer the com. promise plan they held out for in the compromise conferences, which would forgive an estimated 80 pen cent in taxes by returning i942 in. come rates to their l94l levels. This plan would anorti2e the unfor. given 1922 taxes over Q three-yea1 period.
 All the proposals contain provis. Ions for Q 20 per cent withholding at the source to begin July against 1928 taxes
 Republican preference for the Carlson bill over the 75 per cena compromise was based on the con- tention that the latter proposal would involve measure of doubling up.
 Moreover" the Republicans said, ''it represents the greatest conces- sion that can be made if income tax payments are to be placed on a current. pay-as-we-earn basis without too great an increase in the tax burden and too long Q post ponement of the goal of reaching fully current basis"
 The Republicans said they rejected the Democratic 50 per cent proposal because 1t would place "a crushing burden" on millions of taxpayers in the lower brackets through doUb- ling up tax payments.
 Democrats defended 1t as Q plan to give largest percentage of for- giveness to the lower income brackets, pointing out that tax. payers in these categories win bo most affected by the 20 per cent withholding.

 It was the morn of April l. l943 When the ground. wherever you might go, Was completely covered with splendid mantle, Of the purest and whitest snow. It came there In the darkness Some time before the morn began: It was watching for the sunlight To melt away the frozen strand. So aood-bye to aIl the snowstorms, That came here in Jol3 and i0l2 Please, stay away for many day, OE until someone calls for you. So remember the last snowstoTm which came . little while ago It will be quite long before another silent fall Of pure and spotless snow. You may roam through the world.

 Offensive

"rhe wCmen's Field army asks but one thing of Connecticut people, to learn the facts about cancer con- trol and pass them on to their fam. llies, nelghbors, and friends" said Mrs. Henry Shrow, local commander of the Women's Field Army of tho American Society for the Control os Cancer, in Q talk given last night in connection with tho annual educa- tional campaign of the Women's Field Army. She stressed the im- portance of early diagnosis and cure of cancer and remarked that free literature will be mailed to any per- son on request. Also, a panel of medical and lay speakers are avail- able to address any local organiZa- ton without cost, she said. We are not interested in raising funds through speakers at such meetings she pointed out, since tho month of April has been set aside to educate thde people to the facts about can- cer control.
 Tt would be most unfortunate if the many public health gains of the past several years were forgotten in the rush of working for victory and permanent peace," she concluded. :.

In wartime, when nearly every body is working under pressure and the time allotted for meals Is short or facilities are crowded eating re- quires some thought and planning If you are to get all the clements you need from your food.
 Nutritionists caution all work CTS to start the day by eating breakfast.
 That might seem to be an un- necessary reminder, but many people just don't take time to eat breakfast, or they skip 1t with the thought of slinming c bit. To these. the nutrltionists say 1t takes a breakfast to keep going at your best pace, Most persons go with out eating from the evening meal till the following morning -. Q matter of about i2 hours. Skip ping breakfast means extending the fast to l7 or l8 hours. Nobody bubbles over with energy after going that long without food.
