SEATTLE, June p. - The next bombing of Tokyo probably won't be single raid but a sustained attack" said Maj. Everett Holstrom, member of the Doolittle raiding party.
 He stopped here briefly enroute to his home in Tacoma, his first visit in 18 months.
 Undoubtedly Tokyo will be bombed again many times" he said. Perhaps it won't be done quite the same way we did it.
 Tt is going to be very hard on those people for their treatment of the captured American fliers.'

The Ruml Plan

At last Congress is approaching showdown on
taxation. Up for debate in the House
2O42) which contains the Ruml Plan, on which the
nation is now well informed.
The Rum Plan, all know, provides for wiping
out of income tax obligations on 1912 incomes and
embodies pay-as-you-go Withholding tax. Certain
adjustments provided so that all taxpayers Will have
the opportunity of ending the calendar year 1943 with
a clean slate, owing the Government nothing.
Outstanding among the features of the Ruml Plan
is the fact that the Withholding tax 1913 incomes
permits no escape for many workers who may cross
State lines in the of their employment and against
whom the Government would have no reliable course OF
action if these workers failed to file income tax returns
next year. Under the Rum Plan, taxes would be col
ected at the source of ncome-woud be taken out OF
pay on weekly or monthly basis There is simply
other method of ensurng collection OF income taxes
from sizabe part of the population.
The Administration opposes the Ruml Plan on the
ground that it forgves 1912 taxes and thus benefits
few large taxpayers, known the rich. This point
of view does not stand practical analysis In the first
place, surtax brackets be arranged under the
Ruml Plan that the rich will not be able to benefit.
Secondly it will be far better to ensure collection OF
losing many millions of revenue through inability to
trace transient workers. or through possible loss OF
jobs by many thousands between now and next year,
in which case these workers would be unable to pay
their income taxes anyhow.
AS the Maryland Taxpayers League points out in
this connection eff the few large fortunes left in the
country did benefit temporarily from the Ruml Plan,
the inheritance taxes will eventually cancel out any
such benefits"
Moreover the Administration, while opposing the
Carlson Bill (Ruml Plan) has brought forth sub
stitute proposal which makes any nroads into the
basic soundness of the plan
Perhaps it is just well that Congress has de-
layed action on the Carlson Bill (Ruml Pan) for so
to think things This has resulted in crystazed
sentiment in favor of the Ruml Plan

How You Can Support The War

Income tax payments on March fifteenth were re-
duced by the widespread impression that some Con-
gressional magic would make it unnecessary for many
citizens to pay their income taxes.
Be this as it may, the Treasury Department will
ask the banks business houses and people of this
country for loan of thirteen billion dollars next
month
Following closely upon the $12,OO0,OO0,OOO bor-
rowed in December the loan indicates that every
citizen will have chance to participate in the war
While no mans dollar will kill an enemy of this coun-
try, money will provide the weapons to protect our
fighting and enable them to do their stuff at mini
mum risk
There is no use to fool ourselves. The war is
costly enterprise and loyal Americans will literally
share their funds with the government even if they
cannot get to the firing line.

From Berlin comes an official statement that the
Reich has the weapons with which to strike back at
the Anglo-American bombing campaign and that Ger
manys air force awaits only the command to make the
Allies regret their terror attacks"
It's good story if it develops but there have been
few incidents to lend credence to the idea that the
Nazs building up huge air fleet and that they will
be able to repay the Anglo Americans in kind
The evidence is pretty strong that the luftwaffe
is outnumbered and overstraned Nothing else explains
the lack of air support for Marshal Romme in Africa,
the failure to nict heavier losses upon Allied bomb
ing squadrons and the futile attempts at retaliatory
raids against Great Britain.
Meanwhile, Sir Archibald Sinclair British Air Sec
retary reveals that the R. A. F. dropped 10000 tons
tons during the first ten days of March, He estimates
that 1000 German factories and industrial plants have
been destroyed put out of commission temporarily
and that 100000 Germans are homeless.

WiCkdrd Is Made TARGET
Of Farm Policy Critics
Attack on Agriculture Chief Seen as a
Continuation of Farm Bureau Assault
On Farm Security Administration.
By BAUKHAGE
NetCs Analyst and Commentator.

1t goes back long way.
In the old days, the extension
service, the idea of the county
agents" was started by commercial
organizations which wanted to i'm
prove farm prosperity so they could
sell more city goods. Later. the
system was financed by the states
with the help of federal grants. But
the states dominated. Then the
American Farm Bureau federation
was formed. officially in 1920.
The organization pushed certain
ideas for attacking SURPRISES not
very different from what the AAA
developed later. AS the farm prob
lem grew worse, farm conference
was called in Washington in 1882.
This group prepared bill contain
ing many features similar to those
finally incorporated into the Agri-
cultural Adjustment act.
Then came the first friction be-
tween the farm bureau and the adj
ministration. There was a good deal
Of politics in that, too. 1t was a
struggle between the AAA repre-
sentatives In the field and the state
set-ups.
Farmers Union Formed
Later, the Farmers Union came
into the picture. 1t was started
among the low income farmers in
Texas. 1t was the left wing of Ag-
riculture and to the other farm
groups, it was pink" It had the
strong backing Of Mrs. Roosevelt;
its policies were reflected by the
Farm Security administration, a RI
val OF the more conservative Farm
Credit administration which minis
tered to the financial ills of the big
ger farmers. The friction has never
ceased.
A blow-up came when Wickard
started his food administration. As
an old farm bureau man, he always
leaned over backward in an effort
not to be prejudiced against Farm
Security. Also, as a cabinet men,
Der, he couldn't stray too far from
White House preachments. So he
named Parisius, a Farm Secu. ity
man, to head up his food conserva-

You will read in your favorite
newspaper that congress is out to
get" Secretary Of Agriculture
Wickard. The reason being offered
is: There's going to be a food
shortage and he's responsible. 4" That
isn't the half of it.
In the first place, the folks who
have been leaning back with their
feet on the Washington cracker-bar-
rel and watching administrati tons,
wars and panics come and 60, aren't
taking these fiery debates. these
charges and counter-charges too Sc

The fight in congress today on the
surface is the farm bureau, the big
farmer (who isn't so big in many
cases) versus Wickard. One layer

called the fight of the extension
services against the Farm Security
administration. Back in the crack

against the administration and
what's left Of the New Deal.
Criticism Political
One Of these old timers shifted

said to me: This is just politics.
The idea is that 1914 is coming up
and If you are an honest out you've

pie have nothing against him except
as a symbol of the administration.

the war effort, what about hiking
up the farm prices and smashing
the price ceilings? You can't give
the farmers higher prices without
having to boost wages"
My friend caressed his stogie and
smiled. Don't worry" he said,
nobody is going to do anything in
the long run that will interfere with
war plans. But in a political fight.
everybody leans as far out of the
tree as he can without falling. Ev-

 In those days after the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor the embarrassing question, Where IS our fleet?" was heard often in this country. The ssnent increased the Japanese gorged their known later of course that the Pearl Harbor attack had been so successful for the Japs that we had to nurse our wounds and bluff the Japs into thinking we had greater strength than did until repairs and new ships could give fleet something nearer equality in fighting strength The courage and skill of our Navy in subsequent fights with the Japs, the amazing repairs made to damaged ships and the swift construction of units of the fleet soon closed the gap in fighting strength and left this country superior
 There came time when this country well as the aps had an answer to the location of fleet For months the question has been Where is the Japanese fleet?" as forces of our Navy have made bold bids for showdown fight bids that have not been accepted.
