Would Withhold
10 Per Cent

WASHINGTON, Feb. q R)
Enactment of pay-as-you-go
tax legislation to provide a l9
per cent withholding tax after
deductions for millions of Amer
ica's income tax payers was urg-
ed today by the Treasury. 1t flat
ly opposed the Ruml plan to skip
one year of tax liability to make
income payments current.
Randolph E. Paul, Treasury
general counsel, stressed the i'm
portance of prompt action as he
told the House Ways and Means
Committee that a 10 per cent
withholding tax, equivalent to
the levy provided for by the
normal six per cent income tax
plus the l3 per cent surtax rate
on the first bracket, would SIM
pity the collection problem and
avoid unnecessary refunds.
The normal tax and first
bracket of surtax income in
cludes the first $4,000 of tax
able income after deductions.
MAKE CURRENT
Paul said the proposed with
holding rate would make fully
current in their income tax pay
ments about 70 per cent of the
estimated a. 100000 taxpayers.
He proposed that Congress pro-
vide for deferment of 1912 tax
liabilities during the period Of
transition to the new system.

United Nations
10 Strike Hard
Press IS Told
Formed Background
for Destruction
Of Foe, He Reports

WASHINGTON, Feb. q R)
- President Roosevelt said to-
day his Casablanca conference
with Winston Churchill was one
to win the war and to fulfill
the promise he made in his an
nual message to congress that
the United Nations would strike
hard in Europe.
The chief executive, talking
at a press conference, spoke
principally in generalities of the
meeting and supplied most of
the new details in the nature of
anecdotes.
STRESSES PROMISE
But he did emphasize the
words of his January message in
which he promised new blows
at the axis in Europe and said
that his parley with Churchill
was in fulfillment of that de-
claration.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that he
thought the highlight of the
North African meeting was the
formal reemphasis placed on a
belief that there should, he no
negotiated armistice, only an UNI
conditional surrender by the
axis.
There were two highlights,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, of his stop
on the way home to talk with
President Vargas O. Brazil.
U-BOAT WAR
One, explained, is the greatly
increased effort Brazil is MAX
ing to combat submarines. The
second, he said, is an agreement
that the peace to come must
eliminate any future threat from
the African coast to the portion
of this hemisphere lying closest
to Africa.
The president dwelt at some
length on the situation in French
North Africa, especially the po-
litical problems. He said he
thought things were going along
pretty well. The problem in
North Africa, he said, is essenti-
ally a military one.

OPA Grants Request
 For Priorities To
 Waterbury Concern
Site of Building Project Off Whttemore Road in Nau gatuck; George H. Cassidy Construction Com-
 pany to Assume Contract

ff1e George W. Cassidy firm of Waterbury has obtained priorities from the Boston branch of the OPA to construct 38 brick buildings which will house war workers of the Naugatuck Valley working in industries similar to the U. s. Rub- OCT Company, Naugatuck Chemical. division of the U. s. Rubber Com pany and the Lewis Engineering Company.
 The structures, to be located on Bridge street and Whittemore Road In Naugatuck, will be started some times in September, said MT: Cas- sidy, and will be completed in the spring of 1944.
 These will be apartments and not one-family dwellings and will be designed to conform with New York style apartments, he added.
 Presently, the Cassidy firm is ne- gotiating to obtain a part of the Hop Brook club golf course because the plans require the construction of the dwellings on the portion of the course running parallel with Bridge street. This land is owned by the J. H. Whittemore Company
 MT. Cassidy pointed out if and when these negotiations are culmin- ated, the golf course will have to relocate one tee as that section of the course now has one.
 The apartment project will cost approximately one-quarter of a mil. lion dollars, said MT. Cassidy. Anc each apartment will lhave four-ane a-haH rooms.
