BY HELEN LOMBARD,

When a foreign refugee, to whom
few Government positions are open,
gives up S75-a-week job to face an
uncertain future, there must be
something unpalatable in the or
ganization he deserts.
More than one foreigner who has
been connected with the foreign
propaganda organization of the Of
flee of War Information has done
'just that. The reason in the several
cases has been the same-astonish-
ment at the policy followed by this
war agency of the United States.
Many foreigners who have offered
their services as translators and
broadcasters have done so in the
belief that they were helping the
United States and the United Ne
tions alike They are astonished to
discover that the New York branch
of the Owl has its own foreign
policies which don't even pretend to
dovetail with the official policies of
the American Government.
Typical Incident Related.
The following incident, typical of
those which have caused desertions
by courageous few, is an example:
A member of the Yugoslav gov
ernment was scheduled to make a
short wave broadcast to the Yugo-
slav people<~He prepared his script
and, though he enjoyed diplomatic
immunity, he had to submit his
speech to the Owl foreign censor

the fighting marine as he proceeded
to Reyburn Plaza to receive the hero
award Beside him sat his recent
bride, the former Ruth Hartley, who
kept her promise that she would
be waiting for him when he came
back from the battlefront
And, in tribute to Mrs Schmid
the 'Woman's touch" was prominent
with the appearance of WAVES
SPARS, WAACS, Navy nurses and
a representative of the Marine
Women's Auxiliary.
Sergt. Schmid, who enlisted in the
marines in January, 1912, waved in
a solemn. friendly manner to the

parade moved through his home
neighborhood to the factory where
he once worked and then to Rey-

Puzzled by Policy Conflicts
New York Bronch's Theories Reported
At Wide Variance With Governments

was passed. But short reference
to the Yugoslav Minister of War and
guerrilla leader, Gen. Draja Mahail-
ovitch, was blue-penciled.
The astonished official went per-
sonally to the large building at
Fifty-seventh street which concocts
winning words for foreign con-
sumption and asked for an explana-
ton of the ban on the mention of
the Yugoslav cabinet minister. He
was finally put in touch with the
person responsible for the blue-pen
Cling. The censor was a woman
whose hair was clipped quite short
and whose limbs were encased in
slacks. She smoked a cigarette from
q very long holder.
Gets Curt Reply.
To the officials query about the
barring of the generals name. the
censor answered In English, spoken
with strong foreign accent, this
is our policy" The Yugoslav Of
ficial pointed out that Gen. Mihailo-
witch was a member of the govern
ment of King Peter and that that
government was officially recognized
by the United States. He again
received a curt reply: 1T is against
our policy"
The official tried once more and
pointed out that the American COM
mander in chief in North Africa
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, had
sent long and warm telegram OF
praise and congratulations to Gen
Mihailovitch for his anti-Axis stand
He wanted to know how under these
circumstances 1t could be against
the policy Of an American wal
agency to refuse him permission to
speak TO his own people about sone
OF their fighting leaders.
This argument made no impress
sion on the woman censor and the
visitor finally lost patience and said
he would cancel his broadcast alto
gether, but would take the matter
up with his government in London
with the State Department in Wash
ington, and if necessary, with the
White House. Whereupon there was
. sudden consultation between the
woman and some of her colleagues
with the result that permission was
granted to mention Gen. Mihailo-
vitch's name The censor said
grudgingly, "All right we will let
you do 1t this time"
Censor Favored Partisans.
1t is well known that there is bitter
rivalry between Gen. Mihailovitch's
Chetniks and the Moscow supported
"partisans." The censor, obviously
OF foreign birth, was equally obvi-
ously partisan" supporter.
The foreign official did not quarrel
with her sympathies or try to enter
into the complexities of the Par
tisan-Chetnik situation. He took
the position that a branch of the
American Government had refused
to permit United Nations ofiicial
to mention in = broadcast to his
own people the name of a member
OF his formally recognized govern
ment.
Puzzled foreign diplomats who
come up against incidents of this
kind feel that either the United
States Government is not enforcins
its policies or is allowing separate
agencies to form policies OF their
own.

Pay-as-You-Go Tax
Heads for Another :
Showdown in House
Republicans May Block
Easter Recess Unless
Issue Is Settled
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. ,s
The whole pay-as-you-go tax
issue yesterday headed toward
another showdown on Capitol
Hill this week, before Congress
recesses for a brief Easter rest.
Unless the House disposes of this
tax issue, Republicans probably
will prevent any recess at all.
The Republicans are maneuvering
for second vote on the defeated
Ruml plan to skip an income tax
year and some Democrats discussed
the possibility of pressing through
a simple withholding levy against
wages and salaries, without any tax
abatement. .,--
The tax-framing Ways and Means
Committee meets tomorrow to take
up measure extending reciprocal
trade pacts, but it is virtually GER
tain an effort will be made by Re-
publicans to have the committee
turn instead to reconsideration Of
current taxation. -

of Oklahoma, Ways and Means
member, declared in the House yes
| terday that Minority Leader Martin
was playing politics over the tax
issue
Mr.. Martin shot back. does the
gentleman from Oklahoma believe
that the will of majority OF the
House should prevail?" He said the
House wanted to vote on pay-as-
you-go taxation again.
MI. Disney shouted. you want. to
do the same thing over again for
political purposes" :..
Significantly, the Oklahoman sug-
gested that simple withholding bill.

taxes already due, could be passed
quickly by bringing it in under
rule forbidding amendments. Mr..
Disney spoke shortly after he, Chair
man Doughton and several other
Democrats of the Ways and Means
Committee held a meeting behind
closed doors.
! If a withholding levy is presented
under closed rule, the Republicans
will be unable to offer the Ruml
plan again. Passage of the levy
would send the pay-as-you-go issue
to the Senate, where the matter OF
tax abatement would be fought out
again.
No Withholding Controversy.
Most members of Congress as
sumo that any withholding levy
would provide for 20 per cent week.
ly, semimonthly or monthly deduc-
tions from the taxable portions OF
pay envelopes and salary checks.
This would not be an additional tax
but a means of collecting taxes as
now computed
There has been virtually no con-
troversy over the withholding pro-
posals. The fire Of taxation debate
has been trained instead on varying
proposals for tax abatement ss q
means of easing $4,000, 900 income
taxpayers to the pay-as-you-go basis
