Sele(Iive Service Is Displaying Greafesfof
 Confusion of Wartime
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, April 28. = If there has been any greater wartime confusion than in Selective Service, I don't know where it is.
 The new rules and regulations issued a few days ago sounded drastic. The overwhelming major ity G43-to-D by which the Kilday bill delaying the induction of fath- CTS, passed the House indicated a radical change in induction poli- cies.
 Some classifications have been abolished and new ones set up. But what it boils down to is simply what has been known for months. and actually no serious change in the induction schedules is contem- plated.
 The fact that married men, with dependents, may now be reclassi- fled as 1-A's; that Class 3-B (mar- ried men in essential industries'o is to be abolished; that there will be a special classification for farm CTS and essential" farm workers i; hat there will be a reclassification of the 4-H's (men 38 to 45) to see what uses they might be put to in the armed forces or industry, means very little
 In sum and substance, depen- dency is no longer grounds for automatic deferment; but actual ly, married men with children in the home. and men whose induc- tion would cause real hardship to dependents, will be the last to be called. That is not different from the program previously followed.
 Primarily. the armed forces want single men, from 18 to 37, who are not essential to industry or agriculture. Their last wish is 10 disrupt the American home, but hey are not blind to the fact that ome marry and have children merely to escape the draft. To ig-
 ore this would be an injustice to
 rose millions who are willing to serve.
 Secondly, the military powers hat be, want the armed forces built up to around ten or eleven million men. At present there is no indication that it will be less than that. To maintain an army of that size, and supply it and our allies, requires millions more in in- dustry, sea and land transportation

3O96 Withholding Tax,
With Postwar Refund ,
Asked by Treasury
Program Allowing 1920
Repayment Given to
Roosevelt for Study
BY the Associated Press.

os me ASSOCldteQ Press.
A tax program that would take
at least another dime out of
every dollar of taxable individual
income - but refund about 13
cents after the war-has been
presented by the Treasury to
President Roosevelt for his
opinion.
To keep lower bracket taxpayers
on a s-they-earn basis under
such a program, the 20 per cent
Withholding levy would have to be
hiked to at least 80 per cent.
The Treasury's plan calls for in
dividual income taxes to yield at
least S8000,000, 900 of the S12,0O0,-
900 900 in new 1914 revenue asked
by Mr.. Roosevelt. The remainder
would be accounted for from equal
increases in corporation and excise
levies.
The income tax phase entails IN
creaSeS in all brackets, but most
notably 100 per cent jump in the

tegrated in that levy together with
provision for a so per cent postwar
refund
Thus the basic rate-now 6 per

Victory tax, a total of % per cent
would be 6 per cent plus 26 per
| cent, a total of 80 per cent. Of
that amount, however, 13 per cent
would be paid back after the war.
Should Mr.. Roosevelt reject the
program, Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthal probably will offer an
alternative proposal calling for stiff
increases in social security taxes.
These now are l per cent for both
employer and employe, but are
scheduled to double January l un-
less Congress acts as it has before
to postpone the increase.
Although opposed to a broad COM
pulSory savings plan, the Secretary
is reported to favor the idea of a
refundable tax because it would
ease any inf1ationary threat and at
the same time provide backlog
